Profile

("Righteousness of God") is the archangel of freedom, benevolence, mercy, and the Patron Angel of all who forgive. Also known as Sachiel, Zedekiel, Zadakiel, Tzadkiel, Zedekul and Hesediel. Rabbinical tradition considers him to be the angel of mercy.

In rabbinic writings Zadakiel belongs to the order of Hashmallim (equated with the Dominations or Dominions), and considered by some sources to be chief of that order. In Maseket Azilut Zadakiel is listed as co-chief with Gabriel of the order of Shinanim. As an angel of mercy, some texts claim that Zadakiel is the unnamed Biblical Angel of the Lord who holds back Abraham to prevent the patriarch from sacrificing his son, and because of this is usually shown holding a dagger.

Zadakiel is one of two standard bearers (along with Jophiel) who follow directly behind Michael as the head archangel enters battle. Zadakiel is associated with the color violet.

In Jewish mysticism and Western ritual magic, Zadakiel is associated with the planet Jupiter. and this angel's position in the Sephirot is fourth (which corresponds to mercy).
