Cassiel, (Hebrew: Kafziel) is the latin name of an angel in post-biblical Judeo-Christian mythology, particularly that of the Cabbala. Unlike many other angels, Cassiel is known for simply watching the events of the cosmos unfold with little interference. He is the angel of solitude and tears, and is said to preside over the deaths of kings. In the MAGUS, he has been shown to have a beard and riding a dragon in some works.

Archangel Cassiel : Appears as an old man, as depicted in many Tarot Cards (The Hermit) , Holding a Lantern, Staff and may also hold an hourglass. (The Pillars of Tubal-Cain p256. - Nigel Jackson & Michael Howard, Capall Bann Publishing. UK. 2003).

Remember Angels are personal to you and tend to correspond to your mental image of them.

The Tarot Card related to the Archangel Cassiel and the Planet Saturn is The Universe XXI (The World XXI) and the Devil (XV)

The world of success differs for every person, but Tarot card No 21 signifies that the private world of the enquirer - his personal hopes and ambitions - will be fulfilled and success will be reward his efforts. The Devil is called the Devil or the want of a better name. Temptation is a better description as it represents many of the evils that befall man.
