Archangel Gabriel
The Archangel
Gabriel is the exalted Messenger of God, whose name means "The Strength of
God" and whose deeds are recorded in the Jewish scriptures, where the
spirit aided the Prophet Daniel in the interpretation of his dream-visions.

In the
Christian Bible, it is Gabriel who brings important news to Zachary and the
Virgin Mary concerning their children-to-be, and many Christians believe that
at the Last Judgement Gabriel will blow a sacred
trumpet horn.
Furthermore,
according to Muslims, Gabriel dictated the Koran to Mohammed over a period of 23

four are most commonly petitioned, those being Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel.
In African
American magic or rootwork, two of them are
associated with a powerful natural curio called Angelica Root or Archangel
Root. Archangel Michael, the eldest, is used with Angelica Root as a defender
of women. Archangel Gabriel who is concerned with the announcements of
pregnancy, is allied with this root in its role as an herbal tonic for women's
reproductive health.
