✨ Who Is Metatron?

Metatron is an archangel in Jewish mystical tradition, most often described as the heavenly scribe. In the Jewish apocryphal and mystical texts, he is identified with Enoch, the patriarch of Genesis 5:24, who “walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him.” Enoch’s transformation into an angel is the core of Metatron’s story. The name is not found in the Hebrew Bible or the New Testament, and its origin is unknown and debated.

📜 The Heavenly Scribe

The Babylonian Talmud places Metatron in heaven recording the merits of Israel, and the Targum Pseudo-Jonathan describes Enoch as “Metatron the Great Scribe.” His role as a keeper of records and a witness to human deeds is a central part of his character in later mystical writing.

🌿 Enoch’s Ascent

The fullest account comes from 3 Enoch (Sefer Hekhalot), a Hekhalot text usually dated to around the fifth or sixth century CE. In it, Rabbi Ishmael is taken through the heavenly halls and meets the transformed Enoch, now Metatron. Scholars note that the text presents a significant parallel between the ascent of Ishmael and the ascent of Enoch.

🔥 Prince of the Divine Presence

In later mystical texts, Metatron is described as a prominent angelic figure with titles such as “Prince of the Presence” and “the Youth,” a title that in 3 Enoch appears to mean “servant.” Some medieval Jewish mystical sources also describe him as the highest of the angels and as a mediator of the divine presence.

🕯️ Modern Devotion & Practice

Today, Metatron is honored in Jewish mysticism, in Kabbalistic study, and in some Western esoteric and angel-focused practices. People often connect with him around transitions, study, recordkeeping, and seeking guidance. Modern practice draws on medieval and later sources and varies widely.
