Raphael

Archangel of Air

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.
