State of Confusion

So I've always felt a connection with angels and often times angelic names are very familiar to me. I recently was writing a story and I was coming up with the name for my main character. When I come up with names often times it just flows or I know what the first letter should be and then I play with it till the rest fits the firsst letter. For this char the first letter was and A. After nearly an hour of playing with it I was fianlly able to finish the name. It just fit and the name seemed "warm" to me so to speak. The name that finally fit was Asariel. Usually when Ive gotten my name for the char I don't think much of it however since then this name has been on my mind ever since. When I really started to think on the name and interesting vision flashed through my mind. I got a vision of an angel being greeted as if they had been away for a long time. The distinct impression that I got was that the greeting angels were all Archangels. Asariel walked to them and they embraced their returning angel and the kindness and I guess you could say love eminating from them was so amazing it filled my heart and it just felt like I had just been welcomed home!

I decided to do a bit of research on Asariel and everything says that this is a Male Archangel who has dominon over the waters of earth. Whats odd is as I've read this my gut feeling tells me that Asariel isn't a male angel. I got an overwhelming female sence from this angel. I could be very wrong about it but who knows. I feel an overwhelming connection to this angel, this might sound crazy but it feels like Ive found something dear thats been missing for a long while. There are some other things that Im going to need to go over about this because I dont want to jump to any conclusions about this but I wanted tp get some more experianced opinions on this.

So I suppose one of the main things I really wanted to know is if anyone here remembers Asariel?

The name definitely rings a bell, but I can't remember any specifics. If something comes up, I'll definitely get back to you.

Oh yea I understand that just hoping there is an off chance that someone does remember is all <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

I do not recall anything about the name, however as a note on this, most history texts will find Angels to be more male, despite many Angels being androgynous. Additionally we have many people who perceive Gabriel as a female Angel, but the books make no mention of it and imply more of a male persona to the Archangel.

Possible, I say go with what you believe, but always remember what is said in those texts, there is belief and evidence, keep researching and thinking. There may come a time where you find evidence to support your beliefs, or you might find a convincing article that makes enough sense to change your belief

Since I have been doing a lot of thinking and reading up on Asariel another thing that I got about this angel is that she tended to be very quiet and reserved. Tended to spend a lot of her time on her own. Im just going to call Asariel a female till Im beyond a doubt proven wrong lol. Very gental and kind is the images that continue to come to me about her. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

Its odd, first you mentioned the name Asariel it feels so.. how can I explain it, right. As if I heard it before. The the aura of it feels most certainly female I might add. I can see an image of a maiden sitting beside a window and sewing, the sun's rays illuminating the chair and area around her (not sure if it applies to you but that what comes instantly to mind).

Could be just me then but researching should help to some extent, even though most doesn't have any real ground to it. Best way is to listen to what your heart tells you.

The name seems entirely familiar, but then it sounds like Azriel (spelling?) in my mid so that could be why and the only reason I know that name is because of Dogma.

I hope you find what you're looking for.
