Chamuel is described as an archangel of love and adoration in modern Ascended Master teachings. These teachings associate Chamuel with Charity and a pink third ray. They provide a clear setting for this particular portrayal; it should not be presented as a description supplied by the biblical books.
Chamuel and Charity in modern teachings
The February 1960 Bridge to Freedom journal describes Chamuel and Charity as serving the Third Ray. Its account connects their work with gratitude, adoration and the development of divine potential. It also describes a heavenly temple and a flame associated with their service.
The Summit Lighthouse’s own account likewise places Chamuel and Charity on the third ray of divine love. The organization uses the title archeia for Charity. These are statements of the movements’ beliefs, rather than independently observable descriptions of a heavenly realm.
Comparing Chamuel and Camael
Angelicpedia treats the love-and-pink-ray portrayal separately from the role given to Camael in Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy, III.10. Agrippa places Camael in a correspondence involving Geburah, the order of Powers and Mars. That passage does not set out the modern Chamuel-and-Charity teaching.
These movements give Chamuel and Charity a place on the Third Ray. The cited accounts do not establish when this teaching emerged or how it developed from Agrippa’s earlier Camael correspondence.
