💌 Your angel has a message for you
Focus, turn over the cards, and discover what they want to tell you.
Raziel is the archangel of what is hidden. Not the protector, not the healer: the one who reveals. His Hebrew name says exactly what he does — raz, the secret, and El, God — and tradition seats him close to the divine throne, where he hears what is said there. He is one of the nine ruling archangels.
If you were born between 1 May and 10 June, Raziel is the archangel who watches over your guardian angel.
Raziel rules the choir of the Cherubim, the second of the nine choirs of the Kabbalah, under the Sephirah Hochmah — the Sephirah of wisdom. He is called the keeper of secrets, and sometimes the angel of mysteries and laughter. His job is not to defend you: it is to make you understand.

Raziel’s message
“You are looking for an answer when you already hold the information. What you lack is not one more sign: it is the quiet in which you could hear it. My energy is light, almost imperceptible — you never feel me arrive, you only notice that you have understood.”
“And that dream that keeps coming back? It is not a quirk of your night. It is the same sentence repeated until you listen to it.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Raziel’s founding story is not a battle: it is a handing over. After the fault of the tree of knowledge, tradition says, Raziel gives Adam and Eve a book holding everything he had heard beside the throne — enough to find their way back. The other angels, displeased, steal it and throw it into the sea. God spares Raziel, has the angel Rahab retrieve the book, and gives it back to the couple.
The Sefer Raziel HaMalakh then travels from hand to hand: Enoch receives it — the very one who becomes the archangel Metatron — then Raphael entrusts it to Noah, who uses it to build the Ark, and it finally reaches Solomon.
Raziel is absent from the Bible. He belongs to the Kabbalah and to Jewish literature — his oldest known mention is said to be in the Targum of Ecclesiastes, around the year 500 — and the Zohar shows him appearing to Adam to reveal a book of wisdom. He is an archangel of knowledge, not of Scripture.
✦ ✦ ✦
His domains all turn around the same thing: making readable what is not readable yet.
📚
Clearing spiritual blocks
This is his first function. When you keep making the same mistakes, when a pattern loops and hurts, Raziel helps you shed light on the block rather than walk around it.
😴
Reading dreams
Especially a precise, recurring dream. Tradition makes him the reader of those images: the ones that come back because they have not been understood.
👁️
Strengthening intuition
He is the archangel of mediums and clairvoyants — of those who doubt their gift as much as those who want to explore it further. He does not add a power: he lifts the doubt that was blocking it.
⌛
Remembering past lives
Long memory is part of what is ascribed to him. It is the same gesture as with dreams: making available something you were carrying without being able to reach it.
✦ ✦ ✦
Raziel does not watch over you directly: he rules eight guardian angels who take over from one another five days at a time, from 1 May to 10 June. Yours is one of them if you were born inside that window.
Haziel
May 1 — May 5
Aladiah
May 6 — May 10
Lauvuel
May 11 — 15
Hahaiah
16 to 20 May
Iezalel
May 22 — May 26
Mebahel
May 27 – May 31
Hariel

Hekamiah
June 6 — June 10
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.
✦ ✦ ✦
Raziel has a very light energy: when you call him, his presence is hard to feel. That is why you speak to him in a very quiet place, with a settled mind — not because he demands it, but because otherwise you will not notice him.
His colours are those of the rainbow, and that is often how he answers: a rainbow at an odd time of day, a new idea arriving without being looked for. A rainbow fluorite or an azurite held in your hand helps keep the mind clear while you ask.
Prayer to Archangel Raziel 🕯️
“Dear Archangel Raziel,
free me from my fears and my doubts about my perceptions and my intuitions.
Guide me always in divine love, so that I may give room to what I feel and use it for the good of others, selflessly and without pride.
Help me, I pray, to rid myself of the blocks that prevent any spiritual progress.
Help me also to stay humble before whatever good my gifts may achieve — this grace that Heaven has granted me.
I thank you.”
The Book of the Angel Raziel is both his symbol and his summary. Tradition makes it the work that would contain all secret knowledge, and the reasoning is simple: Raziel stands beside the divine throne, so he records everything said there.
In the Middle Ages it was treated as a book of magic, and it circulates in several forms — the Hebrew Sefer Raziel, a Latin version, the Sefer ha-Razim. What the story really says is that knowledge was given, lost, then returned: which is exactly what people ask Raziel for.

Frequently asked questions about Archangel Raziel
Raziel is the archangel of divine secrets. His Hebrew name means “secret of God”, and tradition places him beside the throne, where he hears and records what is said. In the Kabbalah he rules the choir of the Cherubim — guardian angels no. 9 to 16 — under the Sephirah Hochmah, and his period of rulership runs from 1 May to 10 June.
The Sefer Raziel HaMalakh is the work attributed to him, said to contain all secret knowledge. In the story, Raziel gives it to Adam and Eve after the fault; the other angels throw it into the sea, the angel Rahab retrieves it and God returns it to them. It later passes to Enoch, to Noah and then to Solomon.
No. Unlike Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Raziel is named nowhere in the biblical canon. He belongs to Jewish and Kabbalistic tradition: his oldest known mention is said to be in the Targum of Ecclesiastes, around the year 500, and the Zohar shows him revealing a book of wisdom to Adam.
When you keep circling the same pattern, when a precise dream returns without you understanding it, when you are going through a crisis of faith, or when you doubt your own intuition. Raziel does not settle the situation: he gives you the reading of it.
If you were born between 1 May and 10 June, yes: your guardian angel belongs to the choir of the Cherubim, which Raziel governs. Otherwise another of the nine rulers watches over your angel — Metatron, Tsaphkiel, Zadkiel, Camael, Raphael, Haniel, Michael or Gabriel.

Raziel rarely answers with something obvious: he works through signs, dreams and numbers.

Raziel rules the Cherubim; the choir of the Archangels answers to Michael, and the Virtues to Raphael. A feather found on your path or your angel number are other ways of hearing what they have to say.
