Barkiel, angel of lightning. (perhaps this is actually Barachiel)
Barakel, fallen angel, taught men divination from the stars. (or is a king of Ammon much in the same way as Lucifer ended up being an assyrian king of babylon) (or not to be confused with an angel of the same name who was a fallen watcher

Barakiel, Baraquiel Lightning of God
Barachiel Kindness of God or Ray of God
Barachiel the Archangel (Heb. ברכיאל "Bārkiʼēl", (Lightning of God); Arabic: بُراقيل "Burāqīl") is one of the seven Archangels in Eastern Orthodox tradition.
Barachiel's responsibilities are as varied as the blessings for which the archangel is named, Barachiel is also the chief of the guardian angels and it is written that Barachiel may be prayed to for all the benefits which the guardian angel is thought to confer if one is not praying to the guardian angel directly, but as an intercession.

Bardiel, angel of hail.
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.--Revelation 8:7
Bardiel : Humiliated Son of God ( only exists in a video game: good going wikipedia! referencing a videogame for a serious discussion! )
Baradiel is the same as Bardiel, or hail. I'm starting to think that Baradiel may be confused with Barachiel because I noticed pink and green in pictures of Barachiel on the internet. The problem is Baradiel is so damn obscure, was one of the great archangels in 3 Enoch, one of the princes of the third heaven and rules with Nuriel (Dictionary of Angels). Other than that we know nothing more of Baradiel and angel365 could be wrong. It looks like Barachiel is in the second heaven in charge of lightning.
Barachiel is supposed to be used for success in games of chance (Dictionary of Angels).
I also noticed the times don't seem to mean anything. one site says Barachiel is February and another says September.
Also sometimes we see Barachiel with pink and green, other times with only purple/mauve. Could one of these color schemes have actually belonged to Baradiel?
CONCLUSION:
Baraqiel is Barachiel whos color appears to be purple and is associated with gambling and blessings. Baradiel appears to be green and pink and is associated with guidance. The first one is in the 2nd heaven and the second one in the 3rd.
