Archangel Uriel

Archangel Uriel is recognized as the angel of wisdom, bringing God's truth to dispel the darkness of confusion. His name, "Uriel," means "God is my light" or "fire of God." The faithfuls turn to Uriel for guidance in discerning God’s will when making decisions, learning new information, solving problems, and resolving conflicts. Uriel also aids those seeking to release destructive emotions, like anxiety and anger, which may cloud wisdom or hinder clear judgment.

In art, Uriel is often portrayed with a book or scroll, symbols of wisdom. An open hand holding a flame or the sun is also associated with him, representing God’s truth. Uriel’s angelic energy color is red, symbolizing his work, although he is sometimes linked with the colors yellow or gold as well.
