💌 Your angel has a message for you
Focus, turn over the cards, and discover what they want to tell you.
Camael is the archangel of love — starting with the love you have for yourself. That nuance changes everything: people call him for a broken heart, and he starts with self-esteem. His name is rendered “He who sees God”, in the sense of the one who sees beauty everywhere, including where you no longer see it. He is one of the nine ruling archangels.
If you were born between 3 September and 13 October, Camael is the archangel who watches over your guardian angel.
Camael rules the choir of the Powers, the fifth of the nine choirs of the Kabbalah, under the Sephirah Gevurah. He is also met as Chamuel, Kamael, Samuel or Camiel. Tradition makes him the archangel of love and compassion, and gives him a pink light — the one you picture around yourself when you call on him.

Camael’s message
“You ask me to be loved. Start by dropping the case you keep making for yourself. As long as you have to justify existing, you will not receive any tenderness without suspecting it.”
“And stop gripping. What you hold on to does not stay because you hold it: it stays or it leaves, and your clenched hand changes nothing. It only stops you feeling what is still there.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Camael is the archangel people turn to when love hurts. But tradition immediately shifts the request: real love is first the love you have for yourself. That is why he is credited with repairing self-esteem before repairing a couple — and why he is prayed to after a break-up rather than during one.
He also teaches loving without holding. Loving others without trying to control them, keep them or smother them: tradition insists on this, because it is the hardest form of love to sustain. People ask him for faithfulness, tolerance, and enough self-love not to demand.
One last, more surprising domain: finding what has been lost. An object you were attached to, a bond you thought undone. The prayer this page has carried for years opens on exactly that — “I have lost what I loved” — and reminds you that nothing is ever truly lost.
✦ ✦ ✦
Four domains, all on the same side of the heart.
💖
Self-esteem
His first function. He teaches compassion and tolerance towards yourself — which, in tradition, conditions everything else: you do not attract what you do not believe you deserve.
🤝
Loving without controlling
Loving others without keeping or smothering them. It is the domain people ask for least and need most: the faithfulness he teaches is the kind that lets the other breathe.
💔
Mending a broken heart
Grief, a break-up, despair: Camael is the one you invoke when the pain will not pass. He does not erase it, he helps you find the strength to love yourself again.
🔍
Finding what is lost
Tradition also gives him this very concrete power. An object you cherished, a memory, a bond: you ask him to guide it back towards the light, or to soothe the missing.
✦ ✦ ✦
Camael does not watch over you directly: he rules eight guardian angels who take over from one another five days at a time, from 3 September to 13 October. Yours is one of them if you were born inside that window.

Not sure which one is yours? Your date of birth is all it takes.
An Angel Has Walked With You Since Birth
Since the day you were born, an angel has been watching over you.
It knows your yearnings, your wounds, your most private dreams. It bears a name, and that name reveals something about you — about who you truly are, deep down. Let it reveal itself to you.
✦ ✦ ✦
One piece of traditional advice worth following: wait for the storm to pass. People think of him in panic or in sharp grief, but a clear request is formed once calm returns. Take the time to know what you actually want to ask him.
His colour is pink. Wear pink, light a pink candle, or simply picture that ray around you. A rose quartz held in the hand — the stone of love — goes well with the request; rhodonite does the same job.
Prayer to Archangel Camael 🕯️
“Archangel Camael, I have lost what I loved.
I know that nothing is ever truly lost.
I ask you to guide it back towards the light, or to help me soothe my sorrow.
Spread your wisdom over me, O Camael.
Thank you.”
Prayer taken from the previous version of this page, after Camaël, l'archange réparateur des cœurs meurtris by Esther Guerin.
Every archangel has his colour, and Camael’s is pink — the colour of love in traditional symbolism. It is not mere decoration: the pink light is what you picture in order to feel surrounded, and that exercise does much of the work.
The matching stone is rose quartz, which the three previous editions of this page independently call the stone of love. You keep it on you, or in your hand while praying, to bring back inner calm before saying anything at all.

Frequently asked questions about Archangel Camael
Camael is the archangel of love and compassion. His name is rendered “He who sees God”, in the sense of the one who sees beauty in everything. In the Kabbalah he rules the choir of the Powers — guardian angels no. 33 to 40 — under the Sephirah Gevurah, and his period of rulership runs from 3 September to 13 October.
The same archangel. You will also find Kamael, Samuel or Camiel depending on the tradition and the transliteration. The pages of our eight Powers angels call him Camael, and that is the form we keep.
Repairing damaged self-esteem, soothing heartache, learning to love without controlling, finding faithfulness again. Tradition also gives him a more concrete power: helping you find an object or a bond you were attached to.
Not at the height of the crisis. Tradition advises waiting for the storm to pass: people think of Camael in panic or sadness, but the request carries better once calm has returned and you know exactly what you want to say.
If you were born between 3 September and 13 October, yes: your guardian angel belongs to the choir of the Powers, which Camael governs. Otherwise another of the nine rulers watches over your angel — Metatron, Raziel, Tsaphkiel, Zadkiel, Raphael, Haniel, Michael or Gabriel.
