“Two flames leaning toward one another until they burn as one.”
The Angel
Jeliel’s name is customarily rendered God who helps or the helping God, the divine suffix -el binding the sense of aid and rescue to the source of all mercy. Where Vehuiah supplies the first solitary spark, Jeliel introduces relation — the movement of one soul toward another. Governing the second five degrees of Aries, it presides over the field where individual will discovers that it is not alone, and that its longing has an object.
The classical attributions make Jeliel the angel of conjugal love and fidelity, of the bond between husband and wife and, more broadly, of the peace that follows reconciliation. It calms rebellion and quiets the appetite for domination, replacing the desire to conquer with the desire to cherish. Those under its influence are said to be ardent yet faithful, generous in spirit, inclined to fruitfulness of every kind. In the paired scheme of the Shem ha-Mephorash, Jeliel stands opposite the Goetic duke Agares, whose power to bring back those who have fled is here refined into the gentler labour of bringing estranged hearts home to one another.
