Auriel – The light of God
This was one of the hardest angels to research. I opened so many books to find someone other than spoken tales. Often spelt Uriel this angel’s name means light of El. This angel does not appear in the bible or most related texts. It’s rare to have such a viable name for an angel and…

ALHYM (Elohim) and AL (El)
Pronounced Elohim this is one of the more interesting names of god. Eloh means god and is treated as a male word but the ending of the word in H would indicate it is feminine. It is the same word as Allah, but in another language (Semitic based languages are unpointed and will often throw…

AHYH – divine name
This name is the equivalent of saying “I be” in English. I appears in the Bible with the famous line “I am that I am”. This is symbolic of the ultimate transcendental state where one realizes what their ultimate connectivity to the universe is. In this state of being no thought occurs because it transcends…
