In apocryphal, [[Kabbalah|kabbalistic]], and occult works, Uriel's name is commonly spelled "Auriel." He is regarded as the archangel of the North, and of the element of Earth. Where a fourth archangel is added to the named three, to represent the four cardinal points, Uriel is generally the fourth. Uriel is listed as the fourth angel in Christian Gnostics (under the name ''Phanuel''). However, it is debated whether the [[Book of Enoch]] refers to the same angel by two different names. Uriel means "God is my flame," whereas Phanuel means "God has turned." Uriel is the third angel listed in the ''[[Testament of Solomon]]'', the fourth being Sabrael.

Uriel is the third angel listed in the ''[[Testament of Solomon]]''. Uniquely to this text, he is claimed to be the father of the [[demon]] [[Ornias]].


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. In iconography he is depicted holding stems of ripened wheat and wearing robes of citrine, russet, olive, and black. His element is fire.
