Have you ever wondered if there’s a guardian angel looking out for justice and harmony in our world? In the ancient Jewish mystical tradition known as Kabbalah, there are 72 angels, each with a unique purpose and domain of influence. One of these angels is Vasariah, the Angel of Justice. Let’s explore who Vasariah is, what powers are attributed to this angel, and how you can connect with this divine force.
A note on gender in Kabbalistic tradition: The Shem HaMephorash angels are divine emanations—in strict Kabbalistic theology, they transcend binary gender and are not gendered beings. Ubuntu Village uses he/his for Vasariah as an intentional editorial choice, honoring the masculine principle of divine justice that stands firm in its judgments. This connects to both Kemetic and Yoruba wisdom traditions, where masculine deities uphold law, order, and the restoration of balance in community.
Who is Angel Vasariah?
Vasariah is the 32nd Angel in the Kabbalistic tradition, attributed to the qualities of justice, fairness, and eloquence. This angel is especially important for those seeking justice and balance in their lives. Vasariah’s name is often translated to mean ‘God the Just’ or ‘Righteous God’, highlighting the angel’s connection to divine justice. This sense of divine justice resonates deeply within African spiritual traditions and the ongoing pursuit of reparations and healing as a public health argument.

- Promoting honesty, integrity, and ethical behavior
- Assisting in legal matters and promoting fair judgment

By meditating on these letters, followers can invoke Vasariah’s energy and seek its guidance. The angel is also associated with the element of air and is said to assist those involved in legal and intellectual pursuits.
