Haniel

HANYAL

The Name of the archangel Haniel means 'Look to God' or 'He who looks towards God'. The first letter is heh, which is a window, suggesting that the nature of Haniel is revelatory. The second letter is aleph, the ox, which brings to mind the cultivation of fields. We therefore see a window upon the cultivation and growth of the arth. The third letter is nun, which is  fish; acording to Crowley in 777 the fish is a symbol of death and rebirth, a theory born out by the se of the fish symbol to represent Christianity.
see the growth of a forest over many years, allof its creatures flourishing and dying in their turn, all of them serving the purpose of the whole and the growth of the ecosystem. There is a broadening of vision from the human perspective. The fourth letter Yod is a guiding hand, invisible but eerywhere present; even the darkness and the wolf are its children. Below the earth the same eed geminates many times. All lving beings are its oxen, cultivating the earth under its discipline. everything is the fulfillment of the wll of everything else. Thee is such sweet sorrow here. The will is everywhere victorious, even when it does not know this itself.
