✡ Kabbalistic CanonRefa'el (רְפָאֵל)
Primary Source: Zohar 1:80a, 2:147b; Sefer Raziel HaMalakh
In Kabbalistic cosmology, Refa'el is the supernal prince entrusted with the healing of the earth and the human body. Frequently stationed at the West of the Divine Throne, he corresponds to the sefirah Tiferet (Beauty/Harmony) or Hod, channeling balancing energies that harmonize the fiery judgment of Gabriel and the flowing mercy of Michael to cure spiritual and physical afflictions.
“Margolioth edition of the Zohar. Delineates Refa'el as the healer commissioned by God to mend wounds inflicted by the Sitra Achra, situated as the third great angel balancing the cosmic pillars of Chesed and Gevurah.”
