For those who haven’t read it: Sabriel (our protagonist) is a special kind of Necromancer whose job is not to raise the dead, but to put them permanently to sleep. In this case, pretty much all my favorite parts of the story involved the passage of Sabriel into and out of Death. See you can’t do it! Or at least, no one I’ve ever talked to or heard of can. Seriously, try and put all your effort into an image you think is stupid. And for making great images, nothing can fuel you like your own genuine interest. I think reading the book is so useful because it lets you find out what you resonate with in the story, instead of being told what’s cool. (When I’m reading a physical copy I just keep a page in my sketchbook with all these notes scribbled out, with the relevant page numbers beside them for reference later.) So my iPad fills up with screenshots that look like this: When I have a digital copy, I take screenshots of relevant or inspiring passages and write little notes to myself, for reference later. The client sent me a PDF of their inside layout and I spent about two days just reading on the couch. In this case (since the book has been out for 30 years), that was no problem. When I’m starting a job like this, I always read the book if I can. Therefore, Sabrael imprisons Sphendonael and speeds up the recovery of the ill ones possessed by the demon.Today, I wanted to take a look at the recent process of painting a big wrap-around cover for Illumicrate / Daphne Press’ 30th Anniversary Edition limited printing of Sabriel. In occult texts, Sabrael is depicted as the only angel who can punish and overcome Sphendonael, the demon of disease. In these texts, Sabrael is the guardian of The First Heaven. The Jewish Encyclopedia mentions the archangel’s name in “Angelology”. But Archangel Sabrael shares this post with another angel, called Tarshiel. This order is often equated with the order of Virtues. They classify him as one of the seven Archangels.Īlso, Maseket Azilut mention Sabrael as the ruler of the order of Tarshishim. The Testament of Solomon and even 3 Enoch mention Sabrael. Pray for his guidance, and Sabrael brings that cure into your life. Sabrael is the bringer of miraculous healing. He brings a powerful healing energy to the ill. Therefore, he has the ability to cure even the hopeless. And this beautiful angel has the ability to bring that hint of wonder into our boring human lives.Īrchangel Sabrael is also the angel of impossible healing. He fills your normal and boring life with bigger or smaller surprises to astonish and amuse you. You can sense his presence in your life when you are faced more often with supernatural revelations just like Angel Ariel and Angel Laviah. He brings wonders and revelations into your life. He is the divine angel of miracles and healing.

Archangel Sabrael is also known as Sabriel.
