Archangel Metatron: The Complete Guide

Archangel Metatron is one of the most fascinating and powerful figures in the angelic realm — and one of the most widely searched. Unlike most archangels, Metatron is said to have once lived as a human being: the biblical patriarch Enoch, who “walked with God” and was taken directly into the divine presence without experiencing death. Transformed into an archangel of supreme power and knowledge, Metatron now serves as a bridge between the human and the divine — uniquely positioned to understand both.

Here is everything you need to know about Archangel Metatron and how to work with his energy.

Who Is Archangel Metatron?

Metatron appears primarily in Jewish mystical texts — particularly the Talmud and the Kabbalistic tradition — where he is described as the “Prince of the Divine Face” or the “Lesser YHWH”: an archangel of such proximity to the divine that he is sometimes described as sitting beside God’s throne. His name is of uncertain origin — possibly derived from Greek or Hebrew roots meaning “one who serves behind the throne” or “measurer.”

In the Book of Enoch, the patriarch Enoch is taken to heaven and transformed — his human form expanded into something vast and luminous, his consciousness elevated to encompass the whole of divine knowledge. As Metatron, he becomes the keeper of the Akashic Records — the cosmic archive of every soul’s journey — and the overseer of children’s spiritual development.

In contemporary spiritual practice, Metatron is one of the most widely invoked archangels — called on for spiritual growth, sacred geometry, energetic clearing, and the acceleration of personal and collective evolution.

What Does Archangel Metatron Do?

• Spiritual development — supporting and accelerating your spiritual growth and awakening
• Sacred geometry — Metatron’s Cube, a complex geometric figure derived from the Flower of Life, is one of the most powerful symbols in sacred geometry and is associated with his energy
• Energetic clearing — using his Cube to clear and balance the energy field, chakras, and auric layers
• Akashic Records — helping you access the deeper record of your soul’s journey and purpose
• Children’s spiritual wellbeing — a traditional patron of children, particularly sensitive or spiritually aware children
• Motivation and focus — helping you stay committed to your spiritual path and your highest potential

Metatron’s Cube

One of the most distinctive aspects of working with Metatron is his association with sacred geometry — particularly the geometric figure known as Metatron’s Cube. This complex pattern, derived from the Flower of Life, contains within it all five Platonic solids — the geometric forms said to be the building blocks of the physical universe.

Meditating on or visualising Metatron’s Cube is said to clear negative energy, balance the energy field, and open the mind to higher levels of understanding. Many people use it as a focal point during meditation, placing it beneath a candle or crystal grid as part of their practice.

How to Work with Archangel Metatron

Metatron’s energy is vast and can feel intense — grounding yourself before calling on him is important. Sit with your feet on the floor, take several slow breaths, and feel your connection to the earth before you begin.

Our Uriel Candle — the archangel of wisdom and illumination — pairs beautifully with Metatron work, as both govern the domain of deep spiritual knowing and the expansion of consciousness. Clear quartz or selenite are ideal crystals to work with alongside Metatron’s energy.
