Archangel Gabriel Statue C5004

Gabriel – The Archangel of Guidance... Gabriel means “power” or “hero”. Gabriel rules the Moon, West, Water and the Cherubim and serves on the Fourth or White Ray. Gabriel is the governor of Eden and is often described as a female angel with a lily in her hand. The story of the Annunciation is well known. Gabriel is the angel of resurrection, mercy, revelation, and death. Gabriel is often considered as a slightly more benevolent spirit than her ally Michael. Another notable birth that Gabriel presided over was that of John the Baptist when Gabriel came to Zacharias and told him of his coming son. Within all of the legends of birthing, Gabriel has been accredited as the angel who selects souls from heaven to be birthed into the material world and spends the nine months as the child is being developed informing the new person of what he or she will need to know on Earth, only to silence the child before birth by pressing his finger onto the child’s lips, thus producing the cleft below a person’s nose. Gabriel is the guide for all star babies on their way to Earth. Besides births however, Gabriel is also the angel who came before Daniel and told him of the future as well as the angel responsible for strengthening Christ prior to the Crucifixion. Finally, not being all pregnancies and wisdom, she is told as the angel who struck down the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as well as other places of sin throughout the Old Testament although she is never named there as such. Gabriel may help those who need to remember or reconnect to their birth and their own descent from the stars. Her virtues include harmony, purity, mercy, resurrection. revelation and artistic development.
