Malakbel

The "Messenger of the Sun," he is a deity of the desert who personifies the benevolent and life-giving heat of the solar rays. Malakbel represents the eternal truth of "Communication"—the way in which the divine light is "messaged" or transmitted into the mundane world. Often depicted with a cypress tree, he symbolizes the endurance of life in the middle of the parched sands. He is the guardian of the oasis, reminding us that even in the harshest environments, the spirit can find a way to flourish.
