Mythology & Lore

Gabriel appears in sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and is one of the few archangels recognized across these traditions.

In the Hebrew Bible (Book of Daniel), Gabriel interprets visions for the prophet Daniel, revealing divine meanings hidden within dreams.

In the Christian New Testament, Gabriel is the angel who appears to Mary to announce the coming birth of Jesus, known as the Annunciation — delivering one of the most profound divine messages ever spoken: “Hail, favored one, the Lord is with you.” Gabriel also appears to Zechariah, foretelling the birth of John the Baptist.

In Islam, Gabriel (Jibril) is the archangel who revealed the Qur’an to the Prophet Muhammad, bringing the word of God through divine dictation. Thus, Gabriel is not only messenger but bearer of revelation itself, connecting humankind directly to divine truth.

Over centuries, Gabriel’s energy came to symbolize communication, purity, intuition, and creativity, especially in writers, artists, orators, and spiritual messengers.
