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.

He is also listed as an angel of the four winds in the medieval [[grimoire]] [[Sefer Raziel HaMalakh]] which lists him as ''Usiel'' (Uzziel); according to it, this book was inscribed on a sapphire stone and handed down from Seraph to [[Metatron]] and then to Adam.

And Uriel said to me: "Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons 'as gods', (here shall they stand,) till 'the day of' the great judgment in which they shall be judged till they are made an end of. And the women also of the angels who went astray shall become sirens.' And I, Enoch alone, saw the vision, the ends of all things; and no man shall see as I have seen."
