Sachiel is a named angelic intelligence attested in Jewish and later Western occult sources, functioning as a planetary correspondent for Jupiter and associated with wealth, abundance, charity, and Thursday. The name is a product of textual transmission and conflation in medieval occult books and appears in talismanic and grimoire contexts rather than as a narrative visionary figure.

Origin

Sachiel emerges in medieval occult literature as a constructed angelic name produced by conflation and transmission among Jewish and later European magical texts. The Sefer Raziel HaMalakh (early 13th century) records multiple variant spellings (e.g., Satquel, Satquiel, Saquiel, Sachquiel) that reflect conflation of older angelic names traceable to the Jewish book 3 Enoch; one Sefer Raziel form, Sachquiel, derives from Sahaquiel, while other forms reflect influence from Zadkiel. The Heptameron and later Christian grimoire tradition crystallized the modern spelling 'Sachiel', and the name thereafter appears in talismanic and ceremonial contexts preserved in works such as The Complete Book of Magic Science and, later, Francis Barrett's The Magus.

Appearance

Primary sources cited do not provide a consistent anthropomorphic or iconographic description for Sachiel. He is attested chiefly as a name and as a sigil in manuscript and grimoire contexts (e.g., Heptameron; sigils reproduced in The Complete Book of Magic Science and Francis Barrett's The Magus). No stable visionary or narrative portrait is recorded in the provided materials.

Abilities

Across the cited occult and angelological materials Sachiel functions as a heavenly correspondent linked to the planet Jupiter and to the weekday Thursday; he is described as the archangel associated with wealth, abundance, success, prosperity, and charity. In later popular/New Age adaptations these correspondences are used to justify invoking Sachiel for matters involving money, finance, law, politics, and religion. Medieval manuscript evidence also shows his name used talismanically (for example, repeated three times on mid‑12th‑century Slavic birch‑bark charms to serve as talismans against disease). The sources frame him as an operative name/sigil for ritual appeal rather than as an agent in extended narrative accounts.
