"He Who Sees God".
Also known as Chamuel, Kemuel, Shemuel, Seraphiel,
Camiel, Camiul, Khamael, Camniel, Cancel and Jahoel.
Camael appears as a warrior dressed in a red tunic. He wears green armour plates, an iron helmet and has large green wings.
The Angel of Divine
Love and the Patron Angel of all who love God. He is traditionally regarded
as chief of the Order of Powers and one of the sefiroth. He is considered to
be one of the seven archangels who stand before God and one of the governing
angels of the seven planets, specifically ruler of the planet Mars.
A gatekeeper of Heaven, Camael is Chief of twelve-thousand fiery Angels of Destruction,
all posted there with Camael at the portals of the sky.
Originally the God of War, Camael personifies divine justice and governs Heavenly singing. He grants Power, Invisibility, and invincibility. Camael is responsible for holding in check
Leviathan, the monster of evil who will swallow
the souls of sinners on Judgment Day. Camael brings to mankind the gift of Godness, the Holy that exists within
all women and men.
Camael gives power in interpersonal relationships and self-discipline, but the most
impressive trait of this Archangel is his knowledge of Karma. Camael can show
you how to make up for bad karma and how to purify yourself in this
incarnation. He acts as a judge and can, on your behalf, make sure justice
is served. He will only help, however, if he feels you are honest.
Legend tells of Moses destroying the archangel Camael
when this great hierarch tried to prevent the Lawgiver
from receiving the Torah at the hand of God.
Chamuel is considered, along side of Gabriel, to be one of the angels who
strengthened and comforted Jesus on Gethsemane.
Clara Clement in her 1898 book
"Angels in Art" regards Camael as the
angel who wrestled with Jacob
and also as the angel who appeared to Jesus
during his agony in the garden of Gethsemane.
