Auriel is the Archangel of Earth; the literal meaning of the name is "Light of God."
“And a
merchant said, Speak to us of Buying and Selling.
And he answered and Said:
To you the earth yields her fruit,
and you shall not want if you but know how to fill your hands.
It is in exchanging the gifts of the Earth
that you shall find abundance and be satisfied.
Yet unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice,
it will but lead some to greed
and others to hunger.
When
in the market you toilers of
the sea and fields and vineyards meet the
weavers and the potters and the gatherers of spices,---
Invoke then the master spirit of the earth,
to come into your midst and sanctify the
scales and the reckoning that weighs
value against value.
And
suffer not the barren-handed to take
part in your transactions, who would sell
their words for your labor.
To such men you should say,
‘Come with us to the field, or with
our brothers to the sea and cast your net;
For the land and the sea shall be bountiful
to you even as to us.’
And if
there come the singers and the
dancers and the flute players,----buy of
their
gifts also.
For they too are gatherers of fruit and
frankincense,
and that which they bring,
though fashioned of dreams,
is raiment and food for your soul.
And
before you leave the market place,
see that no one has gone his way
with empty hands.
For the master spirit of the earth shall
not sleep peacefully upon the wind till the
needs of the least of you are satisfied.”
