'''[[Archangel Uriel]]''' is one of the [[archangels]] prominently mentioned in the post-exilic rabbinic tradition and in certain [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions.

In the [[hierarchy of angels]], Uriel does not rule over one of the 9 choirs, but is the prince of the triplicity of Innocents, Martyrs, and Confessors. Uriel is often portrayed as a [[Cherubim|cherub]] holding a flaming sword and carrying a book or a papyrus scroll representing wisdom. He "stands at the Gate of Eden with a fiery sword," or as the angel "who is over the world and over Tartarus." Uriel is a patron of the arts. According to the teaching of the modern [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], Uriel is the archangel of North and of Earth, and is thus associated with the vegetation of the Earth. His element is fire.
