Zadkiel

Zadkiel

Zadkiel (Heb. צָדְקִיאֵל Tsadqiel, "Righteousness of God") or Hesediel (חֶסֶדִיאֵל Chesediel, "Grace of God") is the archangel of freedom, benevolence, mercy, and the Patron Angel of all who forgive, also known as Sachiel, Zedekiel, Zadakiel, Tzadkiel, and Zedekul. Rabbinical tradition considers him to be the angel of mercy.

In rabbinic writings Zadkiel belongs to the order of Hashmallim (equated with the Dominations or Dominions), and considered by some sources to be chief of that order (others sources name Hashmal or Zacharael). In Maseket Azilut Zadkiel/Hesediel is listed as co-chief with Gabriel of the order of Shinanim. As an angel of mercy, some texts claim that Zadkiel is the unnamed biblical Angel of the Lord who holds back Abraham to prevent the patriarch from sacrificing his son, and because of this is usually shown holding a dagger. Other texts cite Michael or Tadhiel or some other angel as the angel intended, while others interpret the Angel of the Lord as a theophany.

Zadkiel is one of two standard bearers (along with Jophiel) who follow directly behind Michael as the head archangel enters battle. Zadkiel is associated with the color violet.

In Jewish mysticism and Western ritual magic, Zadkiel is associated with the planet Jupiter. The angel's position in the Sephirot is fourth, which corresponds to mercy.

According to Damien Echol's Angels & Archangels[1] and Rufus Opus' Seven Spheres[2], Archangel Tzadkiel is seen as a king as he rules the planetary sphere of Jupiter that deals with Rulership, Fortune, Wealth, and Prosperity. Though many practitioners invoke the intelligence of Tzadkiel for money, he will first teach you how to better your relationship with money than manifesting wealth. As a king, he will teach you how to rule your life instead of the society using you for their benefit. Working with Tzadkiel helps you to know your potential power and purpose and use this to serve humanity. Vibrating the name of the Archangel helps you to build a connection to its intelligence, this is done through using a monotone deep voice while chanting its name ( examples: TZAD-KIE-EL, SA-CHI-EL, ZE-DE-KIEL). Its visualizing keys vary such as a light corresponding to its aura such as its blue robe, or violet aura, he can be seen as a king holding a golden scepter, or he can show himself to you in different ways.
