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 (element)|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."

In Thomas Heywood's ''Hierarchy of Blessed Angels'' (1635), Uriel is described as an angel of the [[earth (element)|earth]]. Heywood's list is actually of the angels of the four winds: Uriel (south), Michael (east), Raphael (west) (serving also a governor of the south, with Uriel), and Gabriel (north). 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.
