Omael at a glance

A strength

A patience that accepts the slow rhythms of living things, and the steadiness of someone who can wait without fretting.

Something to watch

Impatience toward what must grow at its own pace: Lenain makes his opposite an enemy of growth.

The person born under the influence of Omael

Lenain devotes few lines to the character of the person born under Omael, and what he says belongs to a technical domain that Versana leaves aside. What remains is the essential: an angel he nicknames “patient God,” who rules the animal kingdom and the multiplication of species, and who is invoked to obtain patience.

This domain speaks of a link with what lives and renews itself: garden, animals, a growing family, ideas that ripen. Whoever recognizes themselves here is often attentive to cycles, more at ease with duration than with urgency.

Why invoke this angel

His entry has him invoked against sorrows and despair, and to obtain patience. The hour runs from 9:40 to 10:00 in the morning; the verse is the sixth of Psalm 70 in the Vulgate. In this old practice, Omael accompanies heavy periods, without anything being assured.

The opposing angel

According to Lenain, Omael’s opposite works against the propagation of living beings. Versana reads it more gently: haste and discouragement often keep what is beginning from taking root. When sadness lingers, sharing it with someone close, or with a specialist, is a good reflex; the helplines listed on this page can also listen.

Three roles according to Lenain

  • For the body

    Born from August 12 to August 16

    As the angel of your five-day period, Omael attunes your body to the rhythms of living things. The seasons, regular meals, and returning hours of rest suit you better than a jolting schedule.

  • For speech

    Born on April 18, June 29, September 9, November 20, January 31

    As the angel of your day, he puts a rare patience in your speech: you let everyone finish their sentence, you wait until the moment is ripe before answering, and you avoid inflaming debates.

  • For the soul

    Born between 09:40 and 10:00

    As the angel of your hour, Omael touches the soul through consolation. After dark moments, your mind rises slowly but lastingly, provided it is not rushed; a kind word or a familiar place helps.

A question to ask yourselfWhat are you waiting on too quickly, when it needs time to ripen?

Tradition reported from Lenain (1823): a mirror for reflection, never a prediction or a promise.

Omael: your questions

What does the name Omael mean?

For Lenain, the name means “patient God.” This is the attribute that explains why the entry associates this angel with patience, consolation, and things that grow gently. Versana sticks to this reported meaning.

Why invoke Omael, according to Lenain?

Against sorrows and to obtain patience, according to his entry. Versana reports this rite without raising it to a remedy: lasting grief deserves to be shared with a trusted person or a professional.

Is Omael my guardian angel?

According to Lenain, Omael is the angel of the body for people born from August 12 to August 16, the angel of speech for a birth on April 18, June 29, September 9, November 20, or January 31, and the angel of the soul for a birth between 09:40 and 10:00.
