Now that we have seen what his energies are like in a sort of "working model" fashion, let’s take a look as some of Auriel’s characteristics and some of the views on him and is acts as written by others in various texts of Biblical, apocryphal and eclectic origins. In most works Auriel is referred in different aspects, each having a different angelic name. As Auriel, he is known as the Light of God; as Haniel, the Grace of God; as Phanael, the Face of God; and finally as Uriel, the Fire of God. In all of these forms, Auriel is manifesting some aspect of God. Ultimately it is always in some Assiac form, hence his connection with Earth. In nearly all written accounts relating to him, some form of human action is taken.

To begin, here are some general characteristics and their origins:

• His angelic force, in the Hanael aspect, applies on the path of ayin. This is known as the Lord of the Gates of Matter and Prince of the Power of Air as well as the Devil card in the Tarot. Here choices and struggles are represented in action oriented ways. This also falls under the sign of Capricorn, Fire of Earth. This aspect is said to apply to the month of December. In some writings Hanael is credited with transporting Enoch to Heaven.

• In the Phaneal aspect, he was the angel who wrestled with Jacob. Phanael is also called "The archangel of penance" and was said in Enoch 1 to "fend off the Satans" that they may not "Come before the Lord of spirits to accuse them who dwell on earth."

• The Uriel aspect of Auriel seems to appear in the most written accounts. The name Uriel is said to have been derived from the name of Uriah the prophet. He has been equated with Auriel, Uryan, Jeremkel, Suriel , Prurel, and, as aforementioned Phaneal and Haniel. He was reprobated at a Church Council in Rome in 745 C.E. He was said to be canonized as Saint Uriel later with an open hand holding a flame as his symbol.
