Raphael's name in Hebrew means "Healer of God" or "God has Healed." Raphael Ruachel ("Raphael of Air") is stationed in the East. He is often visualized as a tall, fair figure standing upon the clouds in robes of yellow and violet. He is sometimes visualized holding the Caduceus of Hermes as a symbol of his healing powers.
