Israfel
So you need Healing (37%), Knowledge (50%), Inspiration (60%), and Strength (37%)? Archangel Israfel
is the Angel of beauty, song, counsel, sympathy, and resurrection. He
is a compassionate Angel, always inclined to offer comfort and guidance
to those who are feeling lost and abandoned, and bring joy and laughter
back to those who are without hope. He wants us to know that we are
never alone and inspires us to love ourselves and to be confident and
have faith.

Israfel is the Patron Angel of entertainers who brings mankind the
gift of song, and with it the joy that will inevitably follow. He is a
special Angel to musicians and those concerned with beauty, be it
beauty in art or the beauty of life. His most famous instrument is the
trumpet, but he is also mentioned playing the lute. Those two represent
all string, pluck and wind instruments.

If you are the kind of trumpeter that neighbours have called
“one that will wake even the dead in the middle of the night”, you may
have more in common with Israfel than you though. For he is also the
Angel of resurrection, and what does he use to awaken the dead from
their slumber at the end of the world? That’s right. A trumpet. His
role at the final judgement makes him the Angel of life and new
beginnings, representing the kind of hope that fills us when the sun
rises over the horizon, driving away the darkness of the night.

A Bit of Trivia:

Israfel is a very compassionate Angel indeed. He “looks three
times each day and three times each night into the depths of Hell, and
is so stricken with horror and grief at the plight of the damned souls
that he weep so that his tears would flood the earth, if God did not
prevent them from flowing.” He is also said to be very beautiful and
the master of music. Edgar Allan Poe once wrote in his poem “Israfel”:
“In heaven a spirit doth dwell / Whose heart-strings are a lute; / None
sing so wildly well / As the angel Israfel.”
