Nanael, the Angel of Communication | Secrets & Tarot Spread ⋆ Angelorum

nanael - angel of communication, the 53rd shem hamephorash, corresponding with the 10 of wands

Nanael (also spelt Nenael) is the 53rd Shem HaMephorash, known as the Angel of Communication — a title that points directly to his sacred role: opening the channels that allow divine knowledge, authentic friendship, and spiritual truth to flow freely. His name means “The God of Knowledge” or “God Who Humbles the Proud,” reminding us that true wisdom arises when the mind bows to the heart.

This angel belongs to the Angelic Choir of Principalities, under the rulership of Archangel Anael (Netzach). His gemstone is jade and his colour is green, linking him with the frequencies of harmony, growth, and spiritual balance. His energy is masculine, steady, clarifying, and deeply contemplative. Nanael’s mantra is Noh-Noh-Ah, a vibrational key for accessing divine instruction, higher learning, and communication with the unseen realms.

Nanael is the primary Guardian Angel for those born 13–16 December. His planetary correspondences are Venus and the Sun, and the Tarot card linked with his realm is the 10 of Wands (Saturn in Sagittarius). He rules the daily period of 5:20–5:40 PM and has secondary influence over 1 March, 13 May, 28 July, 10 October, and 21 December.

The Essence of the Angel of Communication

Nanael invites us to cultivate an interior life rooted in humility, contemplation, and the pursuit of truth. He encourages solitude not as isolation, but as a fertile space where divine communication becomes possible. His energy is particularly supportive for students, mystics, philosophers, researchers, judges, mediators, and anyone seeking to express spiritual insights with clarity and integrity.

He dissolves pride, confusion, and over-intellectualisation, making room for genuine revelation. In friendships, he restores honesty, depth, and reciprocity. In spiritual study, he connects the seeker to the deeper structures beneath symbolic systems. He is the angel who helps us recognise when burdens themselves become teachers — and how they can refine our character.

As Psalm 119:75, his invocatory psalm, reminds us:

“I know, Lord, that your laws are righteous,
and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.”

Through Nanael, afflictions become gateways to wisdom.

Nanael and the 10 of Wands

The 10 of Wands (Saturn in Sagittarius) signifies burdens, pressure, or spiritual heaviness. In Nanael’s framework, these burdens are not punishments but invitations: they drive us inward, where divine truth becomes audible again. When life is too comfortable, we rarely seek deeper alignment. When pressure accumulates, we begin to pray, to question, to return.

Nanael teaches the sacred art of carrying our responsibilities without absorbing what was never ours to bear. He helps us distinguish between true duty and the pressures we create for ourselves. Through humility and contemplation, he dissolves the oppressive weight of the 10 of Wands, revealing it instead as a transformative key — a vessel of phoenix energy that burns away distortion and refines the soul.

He also protects us from becoming burdensome to others. Under his guidance, we avoid dogmatism and spiritual pride — the shadow side of Saturn in Sagittarius — and instead embody integrity, curiosity, and humility. His influence liberates us from the need to convince or convert. Instead, we become living examples of truth expressed lightly and joyfully.
