Who is the angel Sitael?

👼 A male angel and a symbol of responsibility and power, Sitael grants the courage to face adversity and to build one's life. People born under his protection have a keen sense of justice, solid integrity and that rare ability to own their choices all the way through.

The origin of the name Sitael

Sitael is the third sacred name of the Shem HaMephorash — the 72 divine names drawn by the Kabbalists from the three verses of Exodus (XIV, 19-21). His Hebrew name סיטאל translates literally as "God is the hope of all creatures". Tradition also calls him the "Knight of God", the one who keeps his word and defends the truth. The traditional invocation formula, drawn from the Psalms, is: "Whoever dwells in the secret place of Elyon shall abide in the shadow of Shaddai, saying of Sitael: You are my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust." (Psalm 91, verse 2).

His place in the angelic hierarchy

Sitael belongs to the choir of the Seraphim — the first celestial choir, the closest to the divine throne, whose role is to purify souls and set them ablaze with love. He is placed under the authority of the Sephira Kether, the Crown, source of all emanation. His ruling archangel is Metatron, said to be the most powerful of the archangels, guardian of the divine threshold.

His spiritual mission

Sitael is the angel of the great builders. Like an architect, he helps you give shape to your ambitions and dreams, brick by brick, on the foundations of your courage. He protects against adversity, keeps malevolent forces at bay and gives hope back to those who had lost it.

He is also an angel of inner truth: he is said to hold the power to reveal buried riches, sometimes the mark of past lives, and to rekindle enthusiasm and optimism when everything seems dark. He gives you the strength to follow your own path, even against the current.

If Sitael is your protective angel, know that he always watches over you, wherever you are. He may even decide to send you a message if he feels you need to hear it, reaching out to you through a mirror hour. Stay attentive 😉.

How to call on Sitael?

The ideal moment

Sitael listens most closely during his annual days of regency: 22 March, 3 June, 15 August, 27 October and 8 January. During the day, he is most receptive between 00:40 and 01:00. You can also call on him whenever you feel the need for courage, protection or clarity to decide.

How to prepare

Create a sanctuary of stillness at home, a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. If you can, light some benzoin incense to purify the atmosphere and lift your thoughts. You may hold an amethyst stone in your hand to amplify the connection. What matters most is sincerity: Sitael answers an upright heart, not a flawless ritual.
