Introduction to Archangel Jophiel
Archangel Jophiel, "The Beauty of God," is the angel of beauty, wisdom, and inspiration. Jophiel is known to help people see the beauty in the world, connect deeply with gratitude, and embrace their inner wisdom. This is the Archangel to call upon when you need insight and wisdom to cut through illusion and reveal the truth. Jophiel also helps people to find their inner beauty, and for those who are meant to share their wisdom through creative expression, is a powerful ally. Archangel Jophiel is always willing to help those who request guidance.
My Personal Experience
Archangel Jophiel came into my awareness at a time of intense physical illness. I remember feeling a loving warmth and seeing a glorious yellow ray of light coming toward me. Though I understand Angels to be without gender, I tend to see Archangel Jophiel as a beautiful female angel with long flowing hair and a gorgeous yellow goddess-like gown. Jophiel often helps me when I need inspiration, encouraging me to write sacred poetry and reminding me that I have much to share through creative expression. I experience her exuding grace and kindness even when helping me process my resistance to hard truths. When my will and faith slipped during my illness, Archangel Jophiel helped me remember that each day of life is worth fighting for.
Patronage
Jophiel is the patron angel of artists, writers, and creative people. She encourages them to connect to beauty and wonder in nature, the gifts hidden in difficulty and challenge, the splendor of simple gifts; and then helps them to express that beauty in their work.
Symbolism
Archangel Jophiel is often depicted with a Flaming Sword. This represents Jophiel's ability to cut through illusion and reveal the truth and power to protect. Archangel Jophiel tells me that it also represents the pen of sacred writers. When Jophiel is near, you may feel a sense of clarity and inspiration as well as see, sense, or just know that a yellow light is radiating. Yellow is the color of wisdom and creativity. Jophiel is said to help us to blossom into our full potential; thus, flowers are associated with this angel. Citrine and Yellow Topaz, Jophiel's gemstones, promote wisdom, creativity, and joy.
