Origin & Lore

Gabriel oil honours Archangel Gabriel, whose name means strength of God in Hebrew. In Western ceremonial magick Gabriel is the archangel of the West and of elemental Water, and in planetary magick the angel of the Moon, so this oil is used for visions, dreams, prophecy and inspiration.

Gabriel is the messenger angel of three faiths: he announces the birth of Christ to Mary, explains Daniel’s visions, and as Jibril recites the Qur’an to Muhammad.

Gabriel appears by name in the Book of Daniel and the Gospel of Luke, and as Jibril in the Qur’an. Renaissance occultists such as Cornelius Agrippa assigned him to the Moon, and the Golden Dawn placed him in the West, ruling elemental Water.
