✡ Kabbalistic Canon’Uri’el (אוּרִיאֵל)
Primary Source: Zohar 1:80a, 2:147b; Sefer Raziel HaMalakh; Pardes Rimonim 24:1
In Kabbalistic theosophy, 'Uri'el represents the divine fire and light radiating from the Throne, completing the fourfold angelic encampment (Merkavah) stationed at the North. Associated interchangeably with Nuriel, he balances the cosmic currents alongside Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. He governs the sphere of the sun and celestial combustion, transmuting darkness into radiant wisdom while protecting the sanctuary from demonic intrusion.
“Margolioth edition of the Zohar and Cordovero's Pardes Rimonim. Identifies Uriel with the element of fire ('Ur') and the north, acting as one of the four supporting angels of the Shekhinah's chariot.”
