Anak, is also a singular for the Anakim (further descendants down this line: the sons of Anak). Anak’s three sons: Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai (perhaps three subdivisions of the Anakim), were driven out of Qiryat Arba by Caleb.
Anakim (Enim, Anim) – (“Giants” or “Long necked / Tall Kings”). the offspring of those Nephellim called Anak and Enki, born of fallen angels and mortal women, an issue touched on in Genesis 6. The Anakim were so tall that, according to The Zohar, “the Hebrews were like grasshoppers in comparison.” In the latter work, the angels Uzza and Azael are singled out as having begotten children “whom they called Anakim.” The original name of the Anakim was Nefilim (Nephillim). In Ginzberg, the Legends of the Jews I, it is related that the Anakim “ touched the sun with their necks.” This is consonant (consistent?) with the view, often expressed in rabbinic and Islamic writings, that angels reached from Heaven to earth – just as Adam did when he was first formed, and as Israfel did, or does. The Anakim were both the descendants of the Nephellim and related to the Rephaim, Zumim and the Emim peoples.

Gaster in Studies and Texts in Folklore II. Gaster believes that Sihail is merely another from of Mihail (Michael) and Anas a form for St. Anne, mother of Mary, here turned into an angel.

Ancient of Days – in the Kabbalah, a term applied to Kether, 1st of the sefiroth; also to Macroposopus (“vast countenance”) who is, in the cabala, “God as He is in himself.” Ancient of Days is, further, used as a term to denote the “holy ones of the highest,” i.e., the most exalted and venerable of the angels. In David 7:9, the expression is the prophets title and vision of God: “I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool; his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.” Dionysius in The Divine names defines the term of Ancient of Days as “both the Eternity and the Time of all things prior to days and eternity and time.” The term has also been applied to Israel. William Blake refers to the Ancient of Days as Urizen, the figure of Jehovah in this poet’s mystical poems. It is the title of one of his famous drawings. Hymn 519 of the Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal church opens with “Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory; To thee all knees are bent.”

Angel (Hebrew, “malakh”) – the word derives from angiras (Sanskrit), a divine spirit; from the Persian angaros, a courier; from the Greek angelos, meaning a messenger. In Arabic the word is malak (a Jewish loan word.) In popular usage an angel denotes, generally, a supernatural being intermediate between God and man (the Greek “daimon” being closer approximation to our notion of angel than angelos). In early Christian and pre-Christian days, the term angel and daimon (or demon) were interchangeable, as in the writings of Paul and John. The Herews drew their idea of angels from the Persians and from the Babylonians during the Captivity. The 2 named angels in the Old Testament, Michael and Gabriel, were in fact lifted from Babylonian mythology. The 3rd named angel, Raphael, appears in the apocryphal Book of Tobit. “This whole doctrine concerning angels” (says Sales in his edition of The Koran, “Preliminary Discourse, p.51)”Mohammed and his disciples borrowed from the Jews, who borrowed the names and offices of these beings from the Persians.” While Enoch, in his writings dating back to earliest Christian times and even before, names many angels (and demons), these were ignored in New Testament gospels, although they began to appear in contemporaneous extracanonical works. They had a vogue in Jewish Gnostic, mystic and cabalistic tracts. Angelology came into full flower in the 11th-13th centuries when the names of literally thousands of angels appeared, many of them created through the juggling of letters of the Hebrew alphabet, or by the simple device of adding the suffix “el” to any word which lent itself to such manipulation. An angel, though immaterial, that is, bodiless, is usually depicted as having a body or inhabiting a body, pro tem, and as winged and clothed. If an angel is in the service of the devil, he is a fallen angel or a demon. To Philo, in his “On Dreams,” angels were incorporeal intelligences. He held that the rabbis, on the contrary, thought of angels as material beings. In Roman Catholic theology, angels were created in the earliest days of Creation, or even before Creation, tota simul, that is, at one and the same time. In Jewish tradition, angels are “new every morning” and continue to be formed with every breath God takes. In the pseudo-Dionysian scheme with its 9 heavenly choirs, angels as an order rank lowest in the scale of hierarchy, the seraphim ranking highest. The archangels show up 8th in the sequence, despite the fact that the greatest angels are often referred to as archangels. Strictly speaking, when one refers to the named angels in the Bible, it is correct to say there are only 2 or 3. But the following may be considered: Abaddon/Apollyon, mentioned in Revelation as the “angel of the bottomless pit.” Wormwood, referred to as a star, but to be understood as an angel. And there is Satan, who in the Old Testament is a great angel, one of the most glorious, certainly not evil and with no hint of his having fallen. He goes by his title of adversary (ha-satan). It is only in Christian and post-Biblical Jewish writings that ha-satan of the Old Testament is turned into an evil spirit. A case for including Rahab among the named angels of the Bible might also be made: Talmud refers to Rahab as “the angel of the sea.”
“Angel in the Forest” – the title of Marguerite Young’s chronicle of the Rappites, a German religious sect that established a short-lived community on the Wabash River during the years 1815-1824. the title derives from the angel (Gabriel) whom Father Rapp, cult leader, claimed he saw in the forest – an angel “with the good taste to leave footprints behind” – for these footprints can be seen, to this day, on a stone slab in New Harmony, Indiana.

Angromainyus – an early form of Ahriman, the Zoroastrian equivalent of the Judaeo-Christian Satan, although he is not a fallen angel and is not subject to the overlordship of God. Angromainyus was God’s opposite and opponent from the beginning (in Persian lore). In the Zendavesta, Angromainyus, pregnant with death, leaps from Heaven in the form of a serpent – a form in which he is not infrequently represented. He tries to deceive Zoroaster (Zarathustra) and to cause the latter to rebel against Ahura Mazda (the Persian equivalent of the sovereign power), but fails.

Apollion (Appolyon, Apollyon) – the Greek form for the Hebrew Abaddon, meaning “destroyer.” In Revelation 9:11 Apollion is the angel of the bottomless pit. In Revelation 20:1 he “laid hold of the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.” According to the foregoing, Apollion is a holy (good) angel, servant and messenger of God; but in occult and, generally, in noncanonical writings, he is evil – as in the last century The Biblical Antiquities of Philo and the 3rd-century The Acts of Thomas. The term also applied to the abode of evil spirits (Hell). In Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress Apollion is the devil. Bunyan thus describes him: “clothed with scales like a fish and wings like a dragon, feet like a bear, and out of his belly came fire and smoke.” He is so pictured by a 17th-centry artist, the sketch reproduced in an early edition of Pilgrim’s Progress. The exegete Volter identifies Apollion with Ahriman, the Persian devil. In Barrett, The Magus, where Apollion is pictured in color he is distinct from Abaddon (also pictured in color). The 2 are denominated “vessels of iniquity” (i.e. fallen angels or demons). Durer did an engraving showing the “Angel with the Key to the Abyss,” reproduced on pg. 3.
Apostate angel – Satan. So named by Gregory the Great in his Moralia on Job, where he says: “Forasmuch then, as mankind is brought to the light of Repentance by the coming of the Redeemer, but the Apostate Angel is not recalled by any hope of pardon,” etc. It was Gregory’s view that man was created to replace the fallen legions of Satan.

His most notorious Nephillim son was Anak, father of the Anakim, and leader of the Anakites. In Joshua 14:15, he is cited as the “greatest man among the Anakites.” He had three possible grandsons listed in the Bible as Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, which were driven out of the land Caleb inherited, as cited in Joshua 15:13-14. Arba’s name means “four” but likely came from the word meaning: “to lie with on all fours” or “to make oneself low (as an animal)”, and a variant root means: “to lie with” and “to inundate for the sake of improving the soil”, both could be associated with his interbreeding with the daughters of men.

Archangel of the covenant – a term applied to Michael in the Coptic Apocalypse of Paul
Archangel ruin’d – Satan is so called by Milton in Paradise Lost I.
Archangels – [See: Heirarchy – Archangels]. The term archangels applies generically to all angels above the grade of (the order of) angels; it also serves to designate a specific rank of angels in the celestial hierarchy. In the pseudo-Dionysian scheme of 9 orders or choirs, the order of archangel is placed 8th – that is, next to the last in rank, immediately above the order of angels. This is a bit confusing, since the greatest angels are referred to as archangels, as in the Old Testament where Daniel calls Michael “one of the chief princes,” which is taken to mean one of the archangels. In the New Testament the term archangels occurs only twice: in I Thessalonians and in Jude. In the latter only, however, is Michael specifically designated an archangel. In Revelation 8:2, John refers to the “seven angels who stand before God,” and this is commonly interpreted to mean the 7 archangels. The Book of Enoch (Enoch I) names the 7: Uriel, Raguel, Michael, Seraqael, Gabriel, Haniel, Raphael. Later Judaism gives Phanuel as an alternate for Uriel. Other lists in apocrypha and pseudepigrapha give, as variants, such angels as Barachiel, Jehudiel, Sealtiel, Oriphiel, Zadkiel, and Anael (Haniel). The archangels, according to the Testament of Levi, “minister and make propitiation to the Lord for the sins of ignorance and of the righteous.” The ruling prince of the order is usually given as Raphael or Michael. The Koran recognizes 4 archangels but names only 2: Gabriel (Jibril), who is the angel of revelation, and Michael, the warrior angel who fights the battle of the faithful. The 2 unnamed angels are Azrael, angel of death; and Israfel, angel of music, who will sound the trumpet (one of 3 or 4 trumpets) on the Day of Judgment. The earliest source for the names of the archangels is traced to Al-Barceloni, a writer of mystic works in the post-Talmudic period, who related them to the planets. In other writings “we meet with the conception of 12 archangels connected with the signs of the zodiac.” For the names of the 12 and their zodiacal signs. The cabala cites 10 archangels (actually 9) and places them in the world of Briah (2nd of the 4 created worlds), thus: Methratton, Ratziel Tzaphqiel, Tzadqiel, Khamael, Mikhale, Haniel, Raphael, Gabriel, Methratton. It will be noted the Methrattin i.e. Metatron, appears twice, heading and concluding the list of 10- or rather 9. “The archangels,” says Dionysius in his Mystical Theology and the Celestial Hierarchy, “are the messengers bearing divine decrees.”
Archangels of the 10 sefiroth – Mathers, The Kabbalah Unveiled, lists the archangels of the Sefiroth as follows: 1. Methattron, for Kether (crown) 2. Ratziel, for Chokmah (wisdom); 3. Tzaphqiel, for Binah (understanding); 4. Tzadqiel, for Chesed (mercy) 5. Khamael, for Geburah (strength or fortitude); 6. Mikhael, for Tiphereth (beauty); 7. Haniel, for Netzach (victory); 8. Raphael, for Hod (splendor); 9. Gabriel, for Yesod (foundation); 10. Methattron or the Shekinah, for Malkuth (kingdom).

Archistratege (Arhistratig, Archstrategist) – (“chief of hosts”). When counseling Enoch, God call Michael “my intercessor, my archistratege.” The same title is given Michael (Mihail) in the Roumanian text of The Apocalypse of Abraham. In this apocalypse, the tears that Michael, “herald of death,” sheds over the coming demise of Abraham, “fall into a basin and turn into precious jewels.” The story is found also in Ginzberg, The Legends of the Jews I.
Archons (“rulers”) – angels set over nations and identified or equated with aeons. Shamshiel or Shemuiel is “the great archon, mediator between the prayers of Israel and the princes of the 7th Heaven.” In occultism the archons are primordial planetary spirits. In Manicheanism they were the “Sons of Dark who swallowed the bright elements of Primal Man.”Scholem uses “archon” interchangeably with “great angel.” In Major Trends he writes that “archons and angels storm against the traveler in his ascent (or descent) to the Merkabah.” The Papyri Graecae Magicae names 5 of the archons: Uriel, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Shamuil. In the Ophitic (Gnostic) system, 7 archons are designated: Jaldabaoth, Jao, Sabaoth, Adonaios, Astanphaios, Ailoaios, Oraios. In other lists other angels appear as archons: Katspiel, Erathaol, Domiel, etc.

The name of an angel in the apocryphal Ezra; also in Mathers, The Greater Key of Solomon, the Grand Grimoire, and other tracts of magic, where he is pictured as lion-headed. Cornelius Agrippa says: “Ariel is the name of an angel, sometimes also of a demon, and of a city, whence called Ariopolis, where the idol is worshipped.” In Heywood, The Hierarchy of the Blessed Angels, Ariel ranks as one of 7 princes who rule the waters and is “Earth’s great Lord.” Jewish mystics used Ariel as a poetic name for Jerusalem. In the Bible the name denotes, variously, a man, a city and an altar. In occult writings Ariel is the “3rd archon of the winds.” Mention is also made of Ariel as an angel who assists Raphael in the cure of disease. In the Coptic Pistis Sophia, Ariel is in charge of punishment in the lower world, corresponding with Ur of the Mandaeans. In The Testament of Solomon, he controls demons. In Gnostic lore he is a ruler of winds and equated with Ialdabaoth as an older name for this god. In practical cabala he is regarded as originally of the order of virtues. According to John Dee, astrologer royal in Queen Elizabeth’s day, Ariel is a conglomerate of Anael and Uriel. In The Tempest, Shakespeare casts Ariel as a sprite. To Miltonhe is a rebel angel, overcome by the seraph Abdiel in the first day of fighting in Heaven. The poet Shelley referred to himself as Ariel, and AndreMaurois is the author of a life of Shelley called Ariel. Sayce sees a connection between Ariel and the arelim (erelim), the valiant ones spoken of in Isaiah 33:7, an order of angels equated with the order of thrones.

(See Tual, Hamabiel.) Formerly, Asmodel was one of the chiefs of the order of cherubim. He is now a demon of punishment (as recorded in the Coptic Gnostic Pistis Sophia). The cabala includes him among the 10 evil sefiroth.
Asmodeus – (“creature of judgment”). the name is derived from ashma daeva (see Asmoday, Chammaday). Asmodeus is a Persian rather than a Jewish devil; however, incorporated into Jewish lore, he is there regarded as an evil spirit. According to Forlong, Encyclopedia of Religions, Asmodeus is “the talmudic Ashmedai, a demon borrowed from the Zend Aeshmadeva,” a “raging fiend”. It was Ashmadai (Ashmedai), says Forlong, who made Noah drunk, and who, in Tobit, slew the 7 bridegrooms of the young Sarah, and who, overcome by the angel Raphael, was finally “banished to upper Egypt.” In demonology, Asmodeus in Hell is controller of all gaming houses. Wierus the demonographer says Asmodeu must be invoked only when the invocant is bareheaded, otherwise the demon will trick him. Barrett, The Magus II, pictures Asmodeus in color as one of the “Vessels of Wrath.” In Le Sage’s romance The Devil on Tow Sticks Asmodeus is the main character. In James Branch Cabell’s The Devil’s Own Dear Son, Asmodeus is the son of Adam’s first wife Lilith by Samael. However, in The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin the Mage, we find this report: “Some rabbis say that Asmodeus was the child of the incest of Tubal-Cain and his sister Naamah; others say he was the demon of impurity.” Jewish lore charges Asmodeus with being the father-in-law of the demon Bar Shalmon. In Solomonic legends, Asmodeus also goes by the name of Saturn, Marcolf or Morolf. He is credited with being the inventor of carousels, music, dancing, drama, “and all the new French fashions.”
Asradel – (Asderel)
Asrael – an angel in a 4-act opera of that name composed by Alberto Franchetti, with libretto by Fontana.

Astanphaeus is likewise declared to be one of the 7 sons of Sydik (Melchisedec). On the other hand, the name is said to be a variant form of Satan. In Phoenician theogony, Astanphaeus is a primordial power. C.W. King, The Gnostics and Their Remains, declares Astanphaeus to be “the Jewish angel of the planet Mercury” and of Magian origin. King reproduces a Gnostic gem with the name of Astanphaeus inscribed on it.
Astaribo – a name for Lilith in medieval magic
Astaroth (Asteroth) – once a seraph, Astaroth is now, according to Waite, The Lemegeton, a great duke in the infernal regions.

Before Astaroth fell, he was (declares the Admirable History of the Possession and Conversion of a Penitent Woman) a prince of the order of thrones. Spence, An Encyclopaedia of Occultism, maintains, to the contrary that he belonged to the order of seraphim. Voltaire finds that Astaroth was an ancient god of Syria. According to the Grimorium Verum, Astaroth has set up residence in America. “In the English tradition,” says De Plancy, Astaroth was “one of the 7 princes of Hell who visited Faust.”
Astarte (Ashteroth, Ashtoreth, Ishtar, Venus) – chief female deity of the ancient Phoenicians, Syrians, Carthaginians. Astarte was a Syrian moon goddess of fertility. As Ashteroth she was worshipped by the Jews in times when idolatry was prevalent in Palastine: “Ashtoreth, the abomination of the Zidonians”, the Zidonians being thee Phoenicians. Jeremiah called Ashtoreth the “queen of heaven.” The Greeks borrowed their Aphrodite from Astarte. Finally, Astarte shows up, in occult lore, as the demon for the month of April.

Azael, it is reported, is chained in a desert where he will remain until the day of judgment. In Idrash Petirat Mosheh, Azael is mentioned as one of 2 angels (the other being Ouza) who came down from Heaven and was corrupted. Cornelius Agrippa, in his Occult Philosophy, lists 4 evil angels as the opposites of the 4 holy rulers of the elements; among the evil ones Azael is included. Schwab in his Vocabulaire de l’Angelologie identifies Shamhazai (Semyaza) with Azael (Aziel), guardian of hidden treasures.

Azariel – in Talmud, Azariel is the angel governing the water of the earth. In occult lore he is listed among the 28 angels governing the 28 mansions of the moon.
Azazel(Azael, Hazazel) – (“God strengthens”). In Enoch I, Azazel is one of the chiefs of the 200 fallen angels (Revelation speaks of one-third of the heavenly host being involved in the fall). Azazel “taught men to fasion swords and shields” while women learned from him “finery and the art of beautifying the eyelids.” He is the scapegoat in rabbinic literature, Targum, and in Leviticus 16:8, although in the latter he is not actually named. In The Zohar the rider on the serpent is symbolized by “the evil Azazel.” Here he is said to be chief of the order of bene elim (otherwise ischim, lower angels, “men spirits”). Irenaeus calls Azazel “that fallen and yet mighty angel.” In The Apocalypse of Abraham he is “lord of hell, seducer of mankind,” and here his aspect, when revealed in its true form, shows him to be a demon with 7 serpentheads, 14 faces, and 12 wings. Jewish legend speaks of Azazel as the angel who refused to bow down before Adam (in the Koran the angel is Eblis or Iblis) when the 1st human was presented to God to the assembled hierarchs in Heaven. For such refusal, Azazel was thenceforth dubbed “the accursed Satan.” According to the legend in Islamic lore, when God commanded the angels to worship Adam, Azazel refused, contending “Why should a son of fire (i.e. an angel) fall down before a son of clay (i.e. a mortal)?” whereupon God cast Azael out of Heaven and changed his name to Eblis. Milton in Paradise Lost I 534 describes Azazel as “a cherub tall,” but also as a fallen angel and Satan’s standard bearer. Originally, according to Maurice Bouisson in Magic; Its History and Principal Rites, Azazel was an ancient Semitic god of the flocks who was later degraded to the level of a demon. Bamberger in Fallen Angels inclines to the notion that the first star which fell (star here having the meaning of angel) was Azazel.
Azaziel – another name for the seraph Semyaza. In Byron’s poem “Heaven and Earth, a Mystery” the legend is told of a pious maiden named Anah, granddaughter of Cain, who tempts Azaziel to reveal to her the Explicit Name. In the poem, Azaziel carries Anah off, at the time of the flood, to a planet other than the earth.
Azbogah (Azbuga YHWH)
Azbuga YHWH – (“strength”). one of the 8 great angel princes of the throne of judgment and of a rank superior to that of Metatron. “Originally,” says Gershom Scholem, “Asbogah was a secret name of God in his highest sphere.” His chief duty, it appears, was to clothe with righteousness the new arrivals in Heaven – those, that is, who were deemed worthy. A late Hebrew charm contains Asbogah’s name as one to be invoked for the “healing of all illness and all hurt and all evil spirit.”
Azdai – an angel in Mandaean lore.

Azliel X – an invocation angel, one of 14; also one of the ineffable names of God.
Azrael (Azrail, Ashriel, Azriel, Azaril) – (“whom God helps”). -in Hebrew and Islamic lore, the angel of death, stationed in the 3rd heaven. To the Moslems, Azrael is another form of Raphael. In their tradition, he has “70,000 feet and 4,000 wings, while his body is provided with as many eyes and tongues as there are men in the world.” In Arabic tradition, Azrael is “forever writing in a large book and forever erasing what he writes; what he writes is the birth of a man, what he erases is the name of the man at death.” When Michael, Gabriel, and Israfel failed to provide 7 handfuls of earth for the creation of Adam, the 4th angel on this mission, Azrael, succeeded; and because of this feat he was appointed to separate body from soul. (Cf. Murdad, the angelus mortis in ancient Persian lore.) Oriental legend has it that Azrael accomplishes his mission (i.e. bringing death first and separation afterward) by holding an apple from the Tree of Life to the nostril of the dying person. In Jewish mysticism, Azrael is the embodiment of evil. In The Book of Protection he is one of 3 holy angels (the other 2 being Gabriel and Michael) invoked in Syriac charms. He is the angel of death in Longfellow’s poem “The Spanish Jew’s Tale” and, in the popular edition of The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, he is pictorially represented with King Solomon entertaining a “rajah of Hindostan.”
Azra’il – in Arabic lore, a guardian angel invoked in rites of exorcism.
Azriel – a chief angel supervisor referred to as “Azriel the Ancient,” sometimes as “Mahniel” (meaning mighty camp), as in The Zohar. Here he commands 60 myriads of legions of spirits and is stationed on the northern side of Heaven, where he receives prayers. In Ozar Midrashim I, Azriel is one of the chief angels of destruction. His name is found inscribed on oriental charms (kamea) for warding off evil.
Azur (Azar)
Azza (Shem-yaza) – (“the strong”). a fallen angel who is, according to rabbinic tradition, suspended between Heaven and earth (along with Azzael) as punishment for having had carnal knowledge of mortal women. Azza (Shemyaza, meaning “the name Azza”) is said to be constantly falling, with one eye shut, the other open, so that he can see his plight and suffer the more. There is another explanation for Azza’s expulsion from Heaven: it is that he objected to the high rank given Enoch when the latter was transformed from a mortal into the angel Metatron (see Iblis or Eblis). In Solomonic lore the story is that Azza was the angel who revealed to the Jewish king the heavenly arcane, thus making Solomon the wisest man on earth. In Talmud, the sedim (Assyrian guardian spirits) are said to have been “begotten by Azza and Azael on the body of the evil Nammah, daughter of Lamech, before the Flood.” In his introduction to 3 Enoch, Odeberg remarks that, of the 2 groups of angels headed by Metatron, one group (the angels of justice) was under the rulership of Azza. At that time, evidently, Azza was not yet fallen.
Azzael (Azza, Assiel, Azazel, Azzazel) – While Azza and Azzael, in some sources, are referred to as 2 distinct, separate angels, they seem to be one and the same in other sources. Variant spellings are Assiel, Azazel, Azzazel, etc. in the early part of 3 Enoch, Azzael is represented as one of 3 ministering angels (Uzza and Azza being the other 2), inhabitants of the 7th Heaven; later, however, he is represented as a fallen angel and ranked with Azza as one of the maskim. For cohabiting with the daughters of men, he was punished (with Uzza) by having his nose pierced. He taught witchcraft, by the art of which man can cause (or did cause at one time) the sun, moon and stars to descend from the sky, so as to make them closer objects of worship.
Barakon – an angel invoked in Solomonic conjuring rites.
Baraqel (Barakiel) – one of the fallen angels in Enoch’s listings. A variant spelling or mistaken association with Barakiel.
Baraqijal – as noted in ‘The Book of Jubilees’, one of the watchers (Grigori) who united with the daughters of men, and incident touched on in Genesis 6. (Elaborated in The Book of Enoch.) Baraqijal, now a demon and inhabiting the nether realms, is a teacher of astrology. In Enoch I he is described as a leader (one of the “chiefs of ten”) of a troop of fallen watchers. Baraqijal may be merely a variant of Barakiel (Baraqel), or they may be separate entities altogether.
Barattiel – in 3 Enoch 18:6, when Tagas sees Barattiel “the great angelic prince of the 3 fingers” (with which, it seems, he is able to hold up the highest heaven), he, Tagas, “removes the crown of glory from his head and falls to his face.” [See:: Ataphiel, which may be a variant form of Barattiel. Or also possibly Barakiel.]
Barbatos – An angel formerly of the order of Virtues. “This fact,” reports Spence in ‘An Encyclopedia of Occultism’, “was proved after infinite research.” In Hell, where Barbatos now dwells, he is a Great Duke, ruling over 30 legions of spirits. He “giveth understanding of the song of birds, knows the past and can fortell the future.” He may be invoked in magical rites, and he will appear gladly, but only when the sun is in the sign of Saggitarius. For Barbatos’ sigil, see Wierus, ‘Peudo-Monarchia’; Waite, ‘The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts’; & ‘The Lemegeton’.
Barbelo – A great female Archon, “perfect in all glory and next in rank to the Father-of-All.” She is the consort to the Cosmocrator. [See: ‘The Gospel of Mary’ & the ‘Apocryphon of John’.] In the ‘Texts of the Savior’, Barbelo is the daughter of the Pistis Sophia, procreator of the superior angels. [The female aspect of God.] Barbelo is the first created female, and associated/equated with Aariel. (oddly enough, so is the Demiurge.)
Barbiel (Barbuel, Baruel) – Once a prince of the order of Virtues and of the Archangels. He is an angel of the month of October and one of the 28 mansions of the moon. (Under Gabriel). In Barrett, ‘The Magus’, Barbiel is equated with Barakiel (which makes him also a ruler of the month of February, among other things). In the underworld, Barbiel serves as one of the ‘7 Electors’, under the suzerainty of Zaphiel.

Barku [See: Rimmon]
Barman (Bahman, Bahram, Jabriel, Gabriel) – In ancient Persian cosmology, a great ‘mihr’ (angel) placed over all the animals on Earth with the exception of man. Barman was also chief of 30 angels set to reside over the 30 days of the month. In ‘The Dabistan’. Barman is one of the ‘Amesha Spentas’, “the first intelligence, the first angel… from whom all other spirits or angels proceed.” He is “the mightiest of the angels whom the Muhammedans call Jabriel. (Gabriel). He was the angel of January and governor of the 2nd day of the month. Barman is usually pictured in an image of red stone, in human form, on his head a red crown. Omar Khayyam in the ‘Rubaiyat’ sings of “Bahram, the great hunter.” His wings are said to be like “red saffron hairs.” Muhammed’s description of Gabriel’s.

Baruch – [“The Blessed”]. Chief guardian angel of the Tree of Life, (Shares this role with several others, notably Raphael), according to the ‘Apocalypse of Baruch’. Also in the ‘Baruch’, he travels through 5 Heavens, in the first 3 of which he sees “evil-looking monster.” In an early Ophitic (gnostic) system, Baruch was one of 3 angels(Ronove being another of the 3), sent forth by the Elohim “to succor the spirit in man.” Because of this charge he has a unique understanding of man’s soul in proportion to the body and is therefore, (along with Ronove who is more notorious for it), capable of mass possession. On this note, Baruch is one of the 7 devils who possessed the body of Sister Seraphica of Loudon.
Baruchiachel – In 3 Enoch, one of the 7 great planetary rulers; and the only angel able to rout the female demon called: Strife.
Involved in Solomonic protection rites.
Barya’il – In Islamic apocalyptic writings, an angel encountered by the sufu Abu Yazid in the 7th Heaven. Barya’il is found to be “of the tallness of the distance of a journey 500 years.” (Much like ‘light years’ measured for journey. Equally fantastical heights of angels measured in ‘parasangs’ in ancient Persian lore.) Barya’il is the head of innumerable ranks of dwellers on high. As in the case of offers in the lower Heavens (by the angel Lawidh in the 2nd and by the angel Naya’il in the 4th), Barya’il offers the sufi “a kingdom such as no tongue can describe,” but the offer of bribe is resisted, Abu Yazid remaining throughout his mir’aj (heavenly ascent) single-minded in his devotion to God.

Bat Qol (Bath Kol) – [“heavenly voice”, or “daughter of the voice”]. A holy guardian angel said to have visited in his cell the 2nd century sage, ‘Simeon ben Yohai’, reputed author of ‘The Zohar’. Bat Qol is held by many rabbis to be a form of divine pronouncement in the latter days when prophecy had ceased. She, (for Bat Qol is female) is symbolized as a dove and may be compared, with the manifestation in this form, to the Holy Ghost in New Testament theophany. In a Syrian charm invocation (from: ‘The Book of Protection’), Bat Qol is referred to as “the Voice which called out to Cain the murderer, ‘why is thy brother Abel?'” (Said also to have been Uriel.) She is associated with Ariel and the Pistis Sophia.

Bedrimulael – [Abedumabal].
Beelzebub (Belzebud, Beelzebuth, Belzaboul, Beelzeboul, Baalsebul, etc.) – [“God of Flies”]. Originally, a Syrian God, Beelzebub is in II Kings 1:3, a God of Ekron in Philistia. In the Kabbala, he is chief of the 9 evil hierarchies in the underworld. In Mathew 10:25, Mark 3:22, and Luke 40;15, Beelzebub is chief of the demons, “prince of the devils”, but he is to be distinguished from Satan (just as his is in magic). In the ‘Gospel of Nicodemus’, Christ, during his 3 days in Hell, gives Beelzebub dominion over the underworld in gratitude for permitting him (Christ), over Satan’s objections, to take Adam and other “Saints in prison” to Heaven. He is called both “Lord of Flies” & “Lord of Chaos”. Dante identifies Beelzebub as Satan, while Milton ranks him “next to Satan in power and crime.” In ‘Paradise Lost’ I, 157 Satan addresses Beelzebub as a “fallen cherub.” In Hayley’s edition of the ‘Poetical Woks of John Milton’, there is an illustration showing “Satan conferring with Belzebuth.” On the contrary, in Gurdjieff’s ‘All and Everything, Beelzebub’z Tales to his Grandson’, the hero is Beelzebub.
Behemiel (Hariel, Hashmal) – An angel with dominion over tame beasts. Behemiel is chief of the order of hashmallin, an order equated with that of the cherubim.
Behemoth – A male chaos-monster (whale, crocodile, hippopotamus) created on the 5th day and closely associated with the female Leviathan. Also identified with Rahab, primordial angel of the sea, and with the Angel of Death. [Uriel & Azrael]. In Roman Catholic theology, Behemoth is the principle of darkness, although Job’s (40:19) “he is the chief of the ways of God” points in an opposite direction. He is associated with primordial deities like Nox. [For more, See: pantheon-associations].
Beleth (Bileth, Bilet, Byleth) – Once of the order of Powers – an order which he hopes to return – Beleth is a fallen angel in Hell where he rules 85 legions of demons. He is a king, rides a pale horse, and is announced by a blare of trumpets. His sigil is shown in Waite, ‘The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts’, p. 169, and in ‘The Lemegeton’. That Beleth was formerly in the order of powers “was proved after infinite research,” reports Spence in ‘An Encyclopaedia of Occultism,’ p. 119.
Belhar – [Bernael].
Beli – One of the angelic guards of the gates of the North Wind. Works under the authority of Nuriel.
Beliael – Like Beli, an angelic guard of the North Wind under Nuriel.
Belial (Beliar, Berial) – In Jacobus de Teramo, ‘Das Buch Beliel’, this great fallen angel, often equated with Satan, is pictured presenting credentials to Solomon; also as dancing before the Hebrew king. Paul, in Corinthians 6:15, asks “What concord hath Christ with Belial?” Here, clearly, Paul regards Belial as chief of demons, or Satan. In ‘Paradise Lost I’, 490-492, “Belial came last; thatn whom a spirit more lewd/Fell not from Heav’n, or more gross to love/Vice it self.” Later, in ‘Paradise Lost II’, 110-112, Milton speaks of Belial thus: “A fairer person lost not Heav’n; he seemed/ For dignitey compos’d and high exploit;” but hastens to add: “all was false and hollow.” In ‘Origin of the Names of Angels and Demons’, Barton says of Belial that it is; “Possibly an old name of Sheol.” In ‘The Toilers of the Sea’, Victor Hugo, drawing on occult sources, speaks of Belial as Hell’s ambassador to Turkey. (Associating him with the Principalities, and Mastema.) As in the case of Bileth, it was “only after infinite research,” reports Spence, (In ‘An Encyclopaedia of Occultism’, that Belial was “proved to have been formerly of the order of Virtues.”
Beliar (Belial) – [“worthless”]. Interchangeable, in most sources, with Beliel. Beliar is mentioned in Deuteronomy, Judges, and I Samuel, always as evil, it’s symbol or personification. In apocryphal writings Beliar is the prince of darkness, supreme adversary of God. In ‘The Martyrdom of Isaiah’ he is the angel of lawlessness. In ‘The Gospel of Bartholomew’, Bartholomew asks Belial to tell who he is, and Beliar answers: “At first I was called Satanel which is interpreted as messenger of God, but when I rejected the image of God my name was call’d Satanas, that is, an angel that keepeth Hell… I was formed the first angel… Michael second, Gabriel third, Uriel fourth, Raphael fifth, Nathanael sixth…These are the angels of vengeance that were first formed.” In Waite, ‘The Lemegeton’, Beliar is said to have been created “next after Lucifer.” As a fallen angel Beliar boasts that he “fell first among the worthier sort.” Milton calls him: “a false titled son of God.” According to the Schoolmen, Beliar was once partly of the order of angels and partly of the order of Virtues. However, Glasson, ‘Greek Influence in Jewish Eschatology’, argues that Beliar was never an angel and compares him to Ahriman, chief devil of Persian mythology, who was “independent of God and God’s opposite equal.” [See: Ahriman]. The tradition that Beliar is Hell’s primate is carried on in the work of two writers, Thomas Mann and Aldous Huxley, both of whom regard Beliar as the exemplar and epitome of evil.
Belphegor (Belfagor, Baal-Peor) – [“Lord of opening”, “Lord Baal of Mt. Phegor”]. A Moabite God of licentiousness who was once, according to Kabbalists, an angel of the order of Principalities. In Hell, Belphegor is the demon of discoveries and ingenious inventions. When invoked, he appears in the form of a young woman. Rufinus and Jerome identify Belphegor with Priapus. [See: Numbers 52:1-3]. De Plancy’s ‘Dictionnaire Infernal’ indicates that certain dignitaries of the infernal empire served as special envoys or ambassadors to the nations of the Earth, and that Belphegor was accredited to France. Victor Hugo in ‘The Toilers of the Sea’ confirms De Plancy’s accreditation of Belphegor to Paris. According to Milton, Belphegor is a variant of Nisroc, whom he lists as “of Principalities the Prime.” Masters, ‘Eros and Evil’, suggests that Belphegor is the counterpart of the Hindu Rutrem, who is usually represented with an erect phallus. He is associated with feces and unclean orifices, hence his title as “Lord of Feces”, and his followers common practice of kissing each other at the anus.

The 2nd triad is sometimes given as dominions, virtues, powers. Variants includes orders called hosts, aeons, innocents, confessors, lordships, authorities, warriors, etc. In Mathers, The Greater Key of Solomon, conjurations are prescribed for “ten choirs of the Holy Angels,” to wit : (1)chaioth ha-Qadesh (2) auphanim (3)aralim (4) chashmalim (5) seraphim (6) malachim (7) elohim; (8) beni elohim; (9) kerubim (10) ishim; these are the ten mentioned by Maimonides in his Mishna Thora. The Berith Menucha offers a slightly different list of 10: arellim, ishim, bene elohim, mal’achim, chashmallim, tarshishim, shina’nim, kerubim, ophanim, seraphim. After Aquinas “blessed” the Dionysian scheme of 9 choirs in their triple triads, the Church adhered to it. Early Protestants, however, not only disputed it but also rejected it. Some occult works such as Barrett, The Magus, added a fourth triad, making 12 orders. It will be recalled that Dante in his Paradiso, canto 28, calls Pope Gregory to account for “dissenting” from the Dionysian setup. For variant lists, see hierarchy.

“one who prays” or “one who intercedes”, although Dionysus claimed that the word meant “knowledge.”
In ancient Assyrian art, the cherubim were pictured as huge winged creatures with leonine or human faces,
bodies of bulls or sphinxes, eagles etc., and were placed at the entrances of palaces or temples as guardian spirits.
In early Canaanitish lore, the Cherubim the cherubim were not conceived of as angels…
In Salkeld, A Treatise of angels, Theodorus, Bishop of Heracleaa was quoted: “these cherubims not to be any angelical powers,
but rather some horrible visions of beasts which might terrify Adam from the entrance of paradise.”
The notion of winged, multiple-headed beasts serving as guardians of temples and palaces must have been general in many near-Eastern countries, for in addition to appearing in Assyrian-Chaldean-Babylonian art and writings.
Later they came to represent the more gentle heavenly spirits they are viewed as today.
They are the first angels to be mentioned in the Old testament: (Genesis 3:22),
where they guarded the tree of life in Eden with a flaming sword.

They are also often seen as the power behind the winds. In Revelation 4:8, they are, however…living divine beasts, each with 6 wings and covered in eyes, who render ceaseless praise to the maker. John of Damascus also claimed that the cherubim were endowed with many eyes. They are equated with the Ophanim (wheels or chariots) or the hayyoth (divine beasts). They are said to reside in the sixth and seventh heaven. Most commonly they are ranked as the 2nd in the 9-choir hierarchy. They are also considered guardians, or steerers of the stars, and in Muslim tradition, they were created by springing forth from the tears of the angel Michael. They have also been called: “The helmed cherubim”, “The Black cherubim”, and “The One-eyed cherubim” It is Cherubim who will sound the four trumpets heralding the apocalypse.

When Adam was created, God commanded all the angels to worship him [Adam], but Eblis refused.” This is also the legend quoted in Ginzberg, “Legends of the Jews I, 63: “Me thou hast created of smokeless fire, and shall I reverance a creature made of dust?” Thereupon God turned Eblis into a shetan [devil] & he became the father of devils. To both Augustine and Mohammed, Eblis was a Djinn rather than an angel. There is a tradition that the great grandson of Eblis was taught by Mohammed certain suras of the Koran. (See Iblis).

El (IL) – A term for God or angel. El was first seen as “il” in Ugaritic context and literally means “divine power” or “diety.” Plural is “Elohim” or “Gods.” It was originally used to describe beings (angels) as deities when in connection to their name. ex: Uriel = “the light god”, but because it’s singular form became synonimous with “the one God”, it has since become a reference to God in the angel’s name. ex: Uriel = “the light of God.” This has become a common practice out of ever-present fear of angelolatry (veneration or worship of angels) within major religion, and is likely the cause of missing or altered angel names which didn’t make sense in the translation “of God.” (See Elohim). In the Levant as a whole, El or Il was the supreme god, the father of mankind and all creatures and the husband of the Goddess Asherah as attested in the tablets of Ugarit.The word El was found at the top of a list of gods as the Ancient of Gods or the Father of all Gods, in the ruins of the Royal Library of the Ebla civilization, in the archaeological site of Tell Mardikh in Syria dated to 2300 BC. Also, in Canaanitish epic lore, El was an angel who begot Shahar and Shalim by a mortal woman. (was one of the Grigori). He was later considered a desert god, as the myths say that he had two wives and built a sanctuary with them and his new children in the desert. El had fathered many gods, but most important were Hadad, Yaw and Mot, each of whom has similar attributes to the Greco-Roman gods Zeus, Ophion and Thanatos respectively.

Elders – The Revelation of St. John speaks of 24 elders sitting on 24 thrones around the throne of God, clothed in white garments, “having each a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.” According to Charles, Critical Commentary on the Revelation of St. John, the Elders are angels, acting as “angeli interpretes” to John. They constitute, Charles believes, “a college or order of angels.” deriving originally from the 24 Babylonian star-gods, and are the angelic representatives of the 24 priestly orders. In Enoch II, the Elders are to be found in the 1st of the 7 Heavens. In the psuedoepigraphical Vision of Paul the 24 Elders are among Cherubim and Archangels in Heaven, “singing hymns.” Dante in Purgatorio, canto 29, speaks of the “four and twenty elders, two-by-two, upon their brows crowns of fleurs-de-lis.” They are illustrated by Gustave Dore here, in mystic procession. Prudentius (Latin-Christian poet, 4th-5th century C.E.) describes the Elders in a poem called “Diptychon,” written to accompany paintings or mosaics for a church.
Elect One, The – The son of Man. The incarnations of messiah sent to Earth on behalf of God. Can be seen as “avatars”, Christ, Buddah, Mohammed, Melchiedizeik among them. In Enoch I, the Elect One is identified as Metatron, or associated (guarded by) Metatron, and is also “The Son of Man”, or “Lord of Spirits.”
Electors – In Conybeare, The Testament of Solomon, there are 7 planetary spirits or angels of Hell, the notion deriving from the Maskim of the Akkadians. The 7 are: Barbiel (under the rule of Zaphiel), Mephistophiel (under Zadkiel), Ganael (under Apadiel and Camael), Aciel (under Raphael), Anael (under Haniel), Ariel (under Michael), Marbuel (under Gabriel). In the Magia Naturalis et Innaturalis, the Electors are fiends (not angels), and their names are given as: Dirachiel, Amnodiel, Adriel, Amudiel, Tagriel, Annixiel, Geliel, Eequiel.

In the Old Testament, 2 Hebrew patriarchs were translated to Heaven while they were still alive: God “took” Enoch (Genesis 5); Elijah was transported in a fiery chariot (II Kings 2:11). Enoch was transformed into the angel Metatron; Elijah into Sandalphon. However, Elijah was also thought to be a Walker, or an angel who came down as a man, and as an angel was called: “one of the greatest and mightiest of the fiery angel host.” Another legend relates that Elijah fought the angel of death, subdued him, and would have annihilated him but for the intervention of God. In the Talmud there is a similar tale relating to Moses’ encounter with the angel of death – in fact, with several of them. Malachi 4:5 prophesies that Elijah would be the forerunner of the Messiah. In Luke, Elijah appears with Moses on the Mount of Transfiguration, in conversion with Jesus. In Heaven, according to the Pirke Rabbi Eliezer, Elijah is the “psychopomp whose duty is to stand at the crossways of Paradise and guide the pious to their appointed places.” The hasidic Rabbi Elimelekh of Lizhensk (d. 1786) referred to Elijah after his transfiguration as the “Angel of the Covenant.” In Jewish homes, at Passover festivals, the cup of Elijah is filled with wine, and a place is left vacant at the seder for him, “the expected guest.” The British Museum, Oriental division, owns a manuscript (6673) showing Elijah eating the fruit of the Tree of Life in Paradise, at which he is joined by Enoch. The drawing is reproduced here. Blake, in his Marriage of Heaven and Hell, pictures Elijah as a composite devil and angel. “I beheld the angel who stretched out his arms embracing the flame of fire, and he was consumed and arose as Elijah. Blake adds a note: “This Angel, who is now become a Devil, is my particular friend.” As an man, Elijah was guarded and visited by the angel Daniel (a great aeon). As an angel (Sandalphon), he is under Daniel’s command.

Eloha is summoned in Kabbalistic conjuring rites to cure friendships and sour relationships. Eloha is female, her name taken from the feminine version of El (“God”), which is Eloh. (See Elohaym for the plural of female angels).
Elohaym (Eloham, Elohim) – [“Goddesses”]. A feminine version of Elohim. It means “female deities” (plural). Taken from the feminine version of El (Eloh), and the feminine plural ” Represents the “daughters of Gods” or all female angels, or deities. (See: B’nah Elohim).

Elohi – [“God will direct”]. An angel invoked in the exorcism of fire. Elohi is the 5th of the angelic hierarchies answering to the 10 divine names. In Solomonic conjuration rites, Elohi is invoked in prayer by the Master of the Art. According to Mathers, when the name of Elohi is pronounced “God will dry up the sea and the rivers.” An older relation to this is that when Elohi is pronounced “God will dry the tears (of the invocant) even those in measure as to the sea and the rivers,” denoting that Elohi is a summon of comfort.
Elohim (Il’lim, Ilohim, il’Al, Elati) – [“Gods”]. Means “deities” (plural) in Semitic languages. Literally translates as “The divinely powerful ones,” from the word Eloh or El, meaning “deity.” In Hebrew Elohim can be both singular and plural, adopted as singular to quell angelolatry (veneration or worship of angels) and polytheism (worshiping multiple Gods). To every other Semitic language, it remains plural, and being relatively unaltered in Hebrew texts, can still be read as plural with little confusion. In I Samuel 28:13, where the woman (not the witch) of Endor tells Saul “I saw Gods (the Hebrew given is Elohim) ascending out of the Earth,” here the word seems to designate souls of the departed, rather than Gods (or perhaps mistaken for them). In The Zohar, Rabbi Isaac, commenting on the passage in Deuteronomy “And Elohim came to Balaam,” says: “What we have learnt is that Elohim in this passage designates an angel, because sometimes the angel is called by the superior name.” The usage of Elohim plural to describe angels even in the singular perhaps explains why the word came to designate a singular word for God, and was then appointed as God to any action not seen proper under an angel’s power. In the Mirandola listing of the hierarchy, the Elohim rank 9th (where Dionysius gives the order as “angels”). In the Book of Formation, Elohim is listed 7th of the 10 Sephiroth and corresponds to Netzach (victory). See Blake’s “Elohim Giving Life to Adam.” The Elohim, while generally representing all Gods or the One God, is also a term used for the 7 Aeons, Archangels or primordial angels who (while usually still directly under God), created the Universe and oversee the Heavens. (See: The Elohim).

In de Vigny’s poem “Le Deluge,” While often accredited to the messiah, (as “The God among us”), Emmanuel is the name of an angel who procreated with a mortal, as well as the name of the son the angel begat with the woman. The meaning of the name is probably derived from this as he “cohabited with man” and it was before the time of the Messiah. In the Kabbalah, Emmanuel is a sefira of Malkuth (the Kingdom) in the Briatic world.

When the Nephilim were born unto the fallen Watchers, they petitioned for Enoch’s aid, knowing that he was favored in Heaven. He assisted them by praying for their safety and interpreting several of their prophetic dreams. In the end, it was he, as their ambassador to God, who was sent to inform them of their impending doom. He was the grandfather of Noah, who was suspected to be a Nephilim. On Earth, Enoch is said to have composed 366 books. Those that are still in existence are primary sources of angelology as they account detailed trips to Heaven and descriptions of Angels roles and nature. Although he is mentioned in Genesis as being taken by God into Heaven, his books are widely seen as controversial as they describe the acts of the Grigori, including their fornication with the “daughters of men” (when Angels are thought to be sexless). Enoch was eventually “taken into” Heaven, to either receive a place among the saints or be transformed into the angel Metatron. To the Arabs, Enoch was Idris.

Becoming one of the greatest of all hierarchs, Enoch as Metatron was called “King over all the angels,” in the Assyrian legend of the Epic of Izdubar. Legend has it that Metatron is the twin brother of Sandalphon, furthered by the story that the prophet Elijah was also “transfigured” into this angel in the same fashion as Enoch “in a fiery chariot drawn by fiery charges.” When Enoch was supposedly transformed into Metatron, he was given 365,000 eyes and 36 pairs of wings. Legend also has it that Enoch was whisked to Heaven by the angel Anpiel to prepare him for the transformation before his final visit.

In Ginzberg, The Legends of the Jews, the Erelimare said to be appointed over grass, trees, fruit, and grain. They were pointed out to Moses by Metatron when the lawgiver visited Paradise.Talmud Kathaboth 104a speaks of the “angelic order Aralim and the most distinguished of men being caught at the sacred ark,” and that “the angelic order prevailed, and the sacred ark was captured.” Although they are usually said to be under the rule of Ariel, according to Maseket Azilut, they are also “one of the 10 classes of angels under the rulership of Michael.”

The possible exceptions are I Chronicles 21 and II Samuel 24, where Satan seems to emerge as a distinct personality and is identified by name; but scholars are inclined to believe that in these 2 instances the definite article was inadvertently omitted in translation and that the original read “the satan,” i.e. “the adversary.” In the new testament, specifically in Revelation 12, the notion of a fallen angel and of fallen angels is spelt out: “And his (the dragon’s or Satan’s) tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven (angels) and did cast them to earth… and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him.” Enoch I claims that 200 fell, naming about 19 (allowing for variant spellings and repetitions) and listing “chiefs of ten,” the most prominent among them being Semyaza, Azazel, Sariel, Rumiel, Danjal, Turel, Kokabel. In Ginzberg, the Legends of the Jews I the chiefs are given as:
Shemhazai (Semyaza), Armaros, Barakel, Kawkabel (Kokabel), Ezekeel, Arakiel, Samsaweel, Seriel. William Auvergne, bishop of Paris, in his De Universo, held that, of the 9 orders of angels that were created, a “10th part fell,”some from each order, and that in their fallen state they retained their relative rank. According to Cardinal Bishop of Tusculum, reaffirmed by Alphonso de Spina, the one-third that fell totaled 133,306,668, those that remained loyal 266,613,336. As opposed to the contention that angels fell from each of the 9 orders, an opinion backed by papal authority holds that only the angels of the 10th order fell. The question is, which of the 9 orders is the 10th. See Moore’s The Loves of the Angels.
In this book, Moore quotes Tertullian to the effect that all the chief luxuries of female adornment and enticement – “the necklaces, armlets, rouge, and the black powder for the eyelashes” are to be traced to the researches and discoveries of the fallen angels.
After the apostate angels fell, “the rest were confirmed in the perseverance of eternal beatitude,” as Isidor of Seville assures us in his Sententiae – although Bible references to God’s finding his angels (long after the Fall) untrustworthy point to a contrary conclusion.
The cause of Satan’s downfall has commonly been attributed to the sin and pride or of ambition (“by that sin fell the angels”). Another explanation sometimes offered with regard to the origin of fallen angels goes back to Genesis 6, where the sons of God (angels)
“saw the daughters of men … and took them as wives” from among them. Enoch saw 7 great stars like burning mountains which (so Enoch’s guide told him) were being punished because they failed to rise at the appointed time. In other early writings, fallen angels were said to be shooting stars. Aquinas identified the fallen angels with demons. In most sources, the leader of the apostates is Satan, but in apocryphal writings the leader has also been called: Mastema, Beliar (Beliel), Azazel, Belzebub, Sammael, etc. In Mohammedan lore he is Iblis. In Levi 3 the fallen angels are “imprisoned in the 2nd heaven.” Enoch II, also speaks of the fallen angels in the 2nd heaven as “prisoners suspended (there), reserved for (and) awaiting the eternal judgment.” “In most Jewish literature,” says Caird in Principalities and Powers, “it was on account of mankind that the angels fell,” and cites the Apocalypse of Baruch which goes so far as to say that it was “the physical nature of man which not only became a danger to his won soul, but resulted in the fall of the angels.” According to legend the rebel angels fell for 9 days.
Famiel – a Friday angel of the air. Famiel serves in the 3rd heaven and is invoked from the south.
Fanuel (Phanuel) – one of the 4 angels of the presence, as noted in Ezra IV, where Fanuel is said to be “Uriel under another aspect.”
See Phanuel where he is equated with Raguel, Ramiel, the Shepherd of Hermes, etc.
Farris – a governing angel of the 2nd hour of the night.
Farun Faro Vakshur – in ancient Persian theogony, the protecting angel of mankind. Metatron in Judaeo-Christian occult lore, where he is often referred to as the “sustainer of mankind.”
Farvardin – angel of March (in ancient Persian lore).
Farvardin also governed the 19th day of each month. He is called “one of the cherubim.”
Favashi (Pravashi, Farohars, Ferouers, Fervers, Farchers) – in Zoroastrianism… the celestial prototype of all created beings, the guardian angels of believers. They possessed a dual character or nature: angels on the one hand and, on the other, beings with human qualities, attributes, and thoughts. They were the fravardin of the Zend-Avesta, “female genii dwelling in all things and protectors of mankind.” In Jacob Wassermann’s novel Dr. Kerkhoven, the favashi are defined as “part of the human soul yet independent of the body…
not destructible like the conscience and the mind… neither are they assigned to one and the same body, provided it belongs to the pure.”
Feluth – (Silat)
Female angels – in Jewish occult lore, female angels are rare (the Shekinah is one). In gnostic lore there is, pre-eminently, Pistis Sophia (“faith, knowledge”), a great female aeon or archon, or angel.
In Arabic legend, female angels are not uncommon and were often objects of worship or veneration; they were often called benad hasche, that is, daughters of God They are considered to be under Shekinah (the female aspect of God) as the male angels are under God. The concept of female angels was a much older one, dating back to the times when God was believed to have two halves…
The male form and his female counterpart. (causing the eventual female/male design in nature)… Many stories of Shekinah as a female form of God are found farther back in Jewish lore, and of course in any of the Chaldean, Egyptian, Ethiopic, Asian…etc. While many concepts of female angels have left western culture, (but for art). Many of those ideas are still alive in the eastern religions such as the ahuras and benad hasche. (see female angels)

Elsewhere in the 5th heaven, whither a spirit carried him, the prophet Zephaniah beheld:
“angels that are called lords, and each of the angels had a crown upon his head as well as a throne shining 7 times brighter than the light of the sun” – quoted by Clement of Alexandria from the lost Apocalypse of Zephaniah.

Focalor (Forcalor, Furcalor) – before he fell, Focalor was an angel of the order of thrones. This “fact” was “proved after infinite research,” reports Spence in An Encyclopaedia of Occultism. Focalor is a mighty duke in the infernal regions and commands 30 legions of demonic spirits. His special office or mission is to sink ships of war and slay men. After 1,000 years (or 1,500 years) he “hopes to return to the 7th heaven,” as he confided to Solomon. When invoked, Focalor manifests as a man with the wings of a griffin.

Fourcas – (Forcas)
Four spirits of heaven (4 spirits) – angels in the guise of black, white, grizzled and bay horses “which go forth from standing before the lord of all the earth.” The horses, harnessed to chariots, were shown to the Old Testament prophet by an angel (unnamed). In rabbinic lore, Zechariah, 300 years before Daniel, had already graded angels according to rank, but did not name them. It is said, further, that Zechariah drew his inspiration for the “seven eyes of the lord” from the Parsee archangels, the amesha spentas.
Fourth angel, The (4th angel) – John, in Revelation 8, speaks of the 4th angel as one of the 7 angels of wrath who sound trumpets. When the trumpet of the 4th angel is sounded, a 3rd part of the sun is smitten, and a 3rd part of the moon, and a 3rd part of the stars.

Often equated with Gadreel, Gadriel & Gardriel: the rebirthed angel.
Gadreel – [“Lord who assists” (Aramaic)]. One of the fallen angels in Enoch lore. It was Gadreel who, being a minister to the devil, led Eve to temptation in the guise of the serpent. Gadreel took the form of a serpent during the Great War, where he fought with the angels of darkness under Lucifer as his “highest ministering angel.” Like Azazel, Gadreel made men familiar with weapons of war and taught them all manner of killing before the flood had him bound with the other Watchers.

According to The Zohar I, 25a-b, the Gibborim “erect synagogues and colleges, and place in them scrolls of the law with rich ornaments, but only to make themselves a name.” If that is so, then the Gibborim must be regarded as evil, and they usually are so regarded. However, although the Genesis Gibborim refer to the Nephillim, it is most likely that the Gibborim themselves were confused with the Grigori (The father-angels of such Nephillim), who were said to have erected palaces and schools etc. in their first attempts to “teach to man” the secrets of Heaven. They were considered evil when they divulged these sacred secrets, made themselves worshiped as Gods (“to make themselves a name”), and interbred with human women. See also: Grigori

In Jewish legendary lore, the Grigori are a superior order of angels whose primary purpose is fulfilled in the silent observance of the world. They are called “eternally silent” & “sleepless”. [Explained in more detail under Watchers]. They are “taller than giants” but otherwise resemble men in appearance. During the time of Enoch, an order of 200 Grigori broke from Heaven by cohabiting with man in an attempt to reveal to man the forbidden secrets of Heaven. They took wives among them and many of their offspring, called the Nephillim, were brutal giants. Both the Nephillim & the superior knowledge introduced lead to man’s downfall, and the great flood was the result. Out of the Grigori, only 200 watchers “rejected the lord” in this way. It is unknown how many of the Grigori remained loyal. In judgement, the unholy watchers were bound in the 5th Heaven, while the holy watchers remain in the 2nd Heaven. The ruling prince of the order of Grigori (not just those unholy) is called Salamiel. He is considered in Enoch II to be unholy, although this may be confusing him with Semyaza, who was the chief of the 200 Grigori who fell. (See Watchers).

Guardian Angels – A class of angels who minister or protect, guide or accompany. Although the guardians of man are known to be lead by Gabriel (the angel of humanity), Angels as guardians can be found for a variety of charges under the 4 ruling princes of the order: Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel & Michael. They are also Principalities, with 70 known guardian angels of nations, one in charge of each state. These tutelary princes over nations are “either angels of demons,” a notion which was often abused when states named demons in control of opposing nations to regard them as “evil”. In Rabbinic tradition, these 70 began as angels, but became corrupted national bias & are now demons – with the sole exception of Michael, sar of Israel, whose bias was excusable or justified, since he espoused the cause of the “chosen people.” Of these 70, only those of 4 nations are named in Rabbinical works: Dobiel for Persia; Samael for Rome (Edom); Rahab, Uzza, Duma and/or Semyaza for Egypt; and Michael/Ariel for Israel. It is said that every human being (and every rock, tree & animal for that matter) is assigned one or more guardian angels, often at birth. The Talmud speaks of every Jew being attended through life by 11,000 guardian angels; & also that “every blade of grass has over it, an angel saying ‘grow.'” That every child has a protective spirit is confirmed by Matthew 18:10 where Jesus bids his disciples not to despise the little ones and speaks of their “angels in Heaven.” According to Charles, Apocrypha & Psuedepigrapha of the Old Testament, the earliest reference to the belief in guardian angels, in noncanonical lore, is to be found in The Book of Jubilees, 35:17. Another early source might be cited: The Biblical Antiquities of Philo, the writing of which is said to date back to the 1st century C.E. In Athanasius Kircher’s account of his voyages to the planets, “the guardian angels of all the virtues” are found inhabiting “the Elysian shores of the Planet Jupiter.” The liturgical feast of the Holy Guardian Angels, in Catholic observances, occurs on October 2.

He is taller than Kemuel “by 60 myriads of parasangs” but shorter than Sandalphon “by a 500 years’ journey” (indicating more location than actual height). On seeing Hadraniel in Heaven, Moses was “struck dumb with awe”; but when Moses uttered the Supreme Name, Hadraniel in turn trembled. Legend speaks of Adam visiting Heaven some 2,000 years before Moses did. On that occasion, Hadraniel spoke to Adam about the latter’s possession of The Sefer Raziel (said to contain knowledge and secrets, in it’s first edition, unknown even to angels). According to Zoharic legend, “when Hadraniel proclaims the will of the Lord, his voice penetrates through 200,000 firmaments,” and according to the Revelation of Moses “with every word from his mouth go forth 12,000 flashes of lightning.” In Gnosticism Hadraniel, great as he is, is “only one of 7 subordinates to Jehuel, prince of fire” (Jehuel is equated with Uriel). In Sefer ha-Heshek, Hadraniel is one of the 72+ names (aspects) of the great angel Metatron. In Enoch 3, Odeberg holds that it is possible for Hadraniel to be identified with Metatron and that he has indeed been so identified in apocalyptic literature. He is also said to work beneath Metatron as a general, and also under Uriel. This gives evidence of his association with both entities. He is also identified with Pusiel as Hadriel. (Both Jehuel and Pusiel are confused with Uriel on occasion.)

Harut (Haroth, Haurvatati, Haroot) – Usually linked with Maroth in Islamic legend. Harut was sent down from Heaven (with Maroth) to teach mortals the art of government (see the Quran, sura, 2,102). In Persian lore, Harut and Maroth were angels of the highest rank, claimed to be two of the Amesha Spentas, and in possession of the secret name of God; this name they unhappily revealed to Zobra (Zillah, Zuhrah), a mortal woman, with whom they both fell in love. A footnote to Ode 14 of Hafiz states that, by the power of the Explicit Name, Zuhrah ascended to the planet Venus “with which she became identified in Mohammedan mythology”; and goes on to say that the fallen angels (Marut & Harut) “were punished by being confined, head down, in a pit near Babylon, were they were supposed to teach magic and sorcery.” In Hastings, Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics IV, 615, the pair are characterized as “fallen angels with a Satanic role.”

Hashesiyah – One of the many names (aspects) of the Metatron.
Hashmal (Chasmal, Hayyah) – Chief angel over the Hashmallim (Dominions, Dominations). According to The Zohar, the term denotes “an inner, supernal sphere, hidden and veiled, in which the mysteries of the celestial letters of the Holy Name are suspended.” In Ginzburg, The Legends of the Jews I, 18, it is said that “Hashmal surrounds the throne of God.” He is the “fire speaking angel.” Joseph Albo in Sefer ha-‘Ikkarim (Book of Principles) I, 14, reports that the rabbis, when speaking of Hashmal, mean “the hayyot of fire-speaking.” In Hagiga, it is related that “once upon a time a young man was studying the vision of Ezekiel and was dwelling upon the angel Chashmal when fire proceeded from Chashmal and consumed him.”
Hashmallim (Hayyot) – [“The God’s of the name”]. Referred to as “The Living Creatures,” they are a high order of angels, equated with the Dominations because they hold the secret name of God. They are also equated with thrones as they surround the throne of God, and the Cherubim as they lift (and possibly form) the throne of God. The Hashmallim, however, are ranked with the Seraphim, which means they are an entirely different order of angels than these choirs mentioned. While the eponymous chief is Hasmal, Zadkiel, Hashul and Zacharael also have authority over the order. However, all of these but Hashul and Hasmal are Cherubim, and therefor through association, probably misplaced into the order (especially since their are only 4 Hashmallim). Hashul and Hasmal are known to be two of the Hayyoth. In the Kabbalah, the Hashmallim belong to the Yetziratic world, the world of foundation, the abode of angels presided over by the angel Metatron. It is said that the river Dinur (“firey river” or “lake of fire”) was created out of the “sweat of those animals [the hashmallim] who sweat because they carry the throne of the Holy and Blessed God.” See: The Hayyot.

Hauras (Haures, Havres, Havras, Flauros) – One of the 72 spirits of Solomon, according to legend, shut up into a brass vessel and cast deep into a deep lake (or into the sea). Formerly, as he confided to Solomon, Hauras was a mighty celestial power (but to which order he belonged to he would not say). He converses gladly about the creation of the world and the fall of the angels. In Hell, where he was a great Duke, he appears in the form of a leopard but, on command of an exorcist, he will manifest in human form. He gives true answers concerning the past and the future. Under his sway, and ready to do his bidding, are 36 legions of the damned. His sigil is shown in Waite, The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts, p. 186. In De Plancy, Dictionnaire Infernal he is pictured in the shape of a man-leopard.
Haurvatat – [“The Wholeness”]. In Zoroastrianism, one of the 6 amesha spentas (archangels). Haurvatat is female and the personification of salvation. She is also a spirit of the waters. Where the Amesha Spentas are equated with the Aeons, she is equated with Ariel, as the 4th of the 6 remaining, and the only female. In Mandean lore she is known as Harudha, though not necessarily equated with Harudha, since the latter is male. Some scholars see a derivation of the Koranic fallen angel Harut from this Persian archangel.
Haurvatati (Haurvatat, Chordad) – An angel in Arabic lore derived from the Amesha Spentas; also called Chordad.

Hayat – One of the many names (aspects) of the Metatron.
Hayya – [“To exist” or “The Living”]. The singular for Hayyoth.
Hayyael – [Hayyel]
Hayyel (Hashmal, Chayyiel, Hayyliel, Johiel, Yayael) – Chief angel of the Hayyoth. He has dominion over wild beasts, but shares it with Thegri (Thuriel), Mtniel, and Jehiel.
Hayyoth (Chayoh, Chayyoth, Chiva, Hashmallim) – [“The Living Ones”]. Called the “Holy, Living Beasts.” A class of Merkabah angels equated or ranked with the Cherubim and Seraphim, but usually considered a separate order. Although they have about four respective chiefs (Hashmal, Hayliel, Hasmal, and Hashul) these are probably the actual 4 Hayyoth, while Metatron serves not as a prince per say, because he is not a Hayyoth, but as a chief messenger. The Hayyoth are angels made of fire who reside in the 7th Heaven and surround, support, and compose the throne of God. They each have “4 faces, 4 wings, 2,000 thrones, and are placed next to the wheels of the Merkabah (cherubim).” They are called “creatures” or “beasts” because their faces are that of a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle. Their bodies are also like beasts (lion bodies with eagles wings, eagle talons on front legs and ox hooves on back). According to Ezekiel, the Hayyoth were seen by the river Chebar, numbering 36, although only 4 were the beast form while the rest were Cherubim (formed as wheels). It is said that holy essence passes through the Hayyoth on its journey to earth & therefore they are the instrument through which God is connected to Earth. They are associated with the Cherubim in that the Hayyoth compose the throne while the Cherubim support it (and them). According to The Zohar “God is borne along by four Hayyoth or Holy Beasts, constituting His throne, and these are borne on other angelic beings (Cherubim), which again rest on higher firmaments, under which is the lowest heaven, to which belongs the earth and all its creatures.” By this, the Hayyoth are the support for Heaven. They do this by supporting God and his name (the mystery of his power): “The Hayyoth which are never disclosed are those which are under the two undisclosed letters Yod, He’, which rule over Vau, He’, these being the pedestal of the former.” The Hayyoth are all comprised in the “firmament of the heaven”, and are referred to in the words “let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven”, or “and they shall be for lights in the firmament of the heaven”. In this sense, there are multiple heavenly realms, and a continuum between these heavens through the “firmament” (Hayyoth) through which God is connected to his creations. Again, in this light, they are said to constitute “the camp of the Shekinah” (God’s dwelling among men). Through this, and their hold on Heaven, they are said, by the Zohar, to “uphold the universe.” The Aeons (or God) receive the holy effluence from above and disseminate it to the Hayyoth, who are the “movers of the wheels (Cherubim).” The Hayyoth are also the source of the four directions (and therefore the 4 winds of the world), and also the four elements. They are also viewed as the four lightning flashes from the merkabah (the Throne of Glory in motion, in its aspect as a chariot). When they spread their wings, they break forth at the same moment into songs of praise “as the voice of the Almighty.” This explains their influence under Metatron.
Haziel (Bernael) – [“The Seeing God”, “The God that sees”]. A Cherubim invoked to obtain the pity of God. Haziel is one of the 72 angels bearing the mystical name of God Shemhamphorae. When equated with Bernael, he is an angel of darkness. His sigil. He is said to have been a walker. In I Chronicles 23:9 Haziel is shown as a mortal, an offspring of the Gershonites.
Heavenly Academy – Within the 6th Heaven there is an institution where new angels are educated on the history and arrangement of the universe. It is also here that the scholars of Heaven and the angelic scribes take residence. For the most part, study is done regarding the linking anomalies and mysteries of life, time, virtue, etc. in order to better see the mysteries of God. Often, scholars focus on lesser entities such as the Aeons or the Metatron in order to understand God’s workings. The “angel of snow and fire” which is spoken of as a token of the 6th Heaven is located within the territory of this “academy” and is a representation of the first Aeon; Beqa (“the good one”), or the First Angel (Lucifer), who was, before he fell, ever seeking to understand God. It is kept as a symbol of the institutions purpose and as a means to teach lesser angels (who were not involved in the First War) to respect those lost for their former power, so they will not hold contempt within Heaven. It is said that the great judgment will be held here to be presided over by God and every angel. The “Heavenly Academy” is a name for the trial body of angels that assemble to judge human beings when the latter appear in Heaven for Judgement. If a mortal proves worthy, he is “crowned with many radiant crowns,” but if he proves unworthy, he is “thrust outside, and stands within the pillar until he is taken to his punishment (to be thrown in the Dinur), and ‘erased from the book of life’ (destroyed).”
Heavenly Host – A term denoting the angels of Heaven as a whole. While it has been said that the number of angels in Heaven is “myriads upon myriads”, it has more often been called “innumerable.” The notion that angels are not still being created was fabricated and is found only in the modern Christian church. It was argued that angels “do not marry” which does not matter based on the fact that marriage is a means to “earthly reproduction” and the angels were not born, but created. It is also argued that there is no mention of angels being created throughout biblical history, but there is no reference in the Bible of any time in which the angels were created, it is only assumed (and confirmed in secular texts) that the angels were created during the creation of light and the Heavens. This does not determine, however, that they were all created at once, as even the Heavens continuously change throughout time (the movement of Eden, the Shekinah etc.). Also, according to just about every other religion in the world, angels create quite often, they do so through God, and not by their power alone but they do create. It is the aeons, for example, which made the physical world based on God’s design. Because “everything has been put under the charge of an angel”, it is safe to assume that angels are not a stationary number. Job conceived the Heavenly host as “morning stars singing together and shouting for joy.” In Dante’s Paradiso, canto 27, the Heavenly host is intone the “Gloria in Excelsis.” Blake saw the innumerable company of Heaven crying “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord almighty.” These both most likely refer to the “Trisagion” which is sung by many orders of angels (and probably them all) consistently throughout Heaven.
Heavenly Scribe – Radueriel, Zagzagel, Vretil, Soferiel, Raziel, and other scholar angels are referred to as “heavenly scribes.” Michael and Metatron have also been so named. Enoch in his lifetime, was known by this title, and it also refers to the “man clothed in linen,” an image found in Ezekiel 9:2 and in Daniel 10.
Hebdomad – A term in Ophitic lore for the 7 aeons. Those 7 potentates who are equated with the 7 Angels of the Presence, the 7 Archangels, and first rulers of the 7 Heavens. These 7 being: Adoneus (Adonai, Beqa), Sabaoth (Michael), Oreus (Uriel), Ialdabaoth (Aariel), Eloeus (Gabriel), Jao (Raphael), and Astaphaeus (Danyael). These are the 7 holy Hebdomad (although, not all of these are consistently called holy in the Gnostic system). They are known as manifestations of God personified, and are the “Elohim” of scripture. Together, they combine the characteristics of God and are instruments of his will who uphold the universe. It is the Hebdomad which create, destroy and keep order on God’s behalf. Origen, in his Contra Celsum VI, spells out equivalent names of these 7: Michael (in the form of a lion); Suriel (in the form of an ox); Raphael (in the form of a dragon); Gabriel (in the form of an eagle); Thautabaoth (in the form of a bear); Erataoth (in the form of a dog); Onoel (in the form of an ass). Although, these have been noted as the forms of the demonic Hebdomad, who are under the serpent (The Kasbeel).
Hechaloth (Hekhaloth) – The Hechaloth are the 7 female emanations of God, the counterpart of the 10 male Sephiroth. The Zohar translates the word to mean “beautiful virgins.” They are also called the consorts of the Aeons, all but Aariel who is an Aeon. Aariel is the head of the order, and is known as Hechaloth. The others are mentioned as Dynamis, Beatris, Daneel, Nox (or Nud), and Anael; but the 7th, the consort of Nathaniel (The first aeons holy replacement), is unnamed. While the Sephiroth keep order in the spheres of the 10 Heavens, the Hechaloth are also personifications of the 7 Heavenly Halls in Araboth, and 7 palaces Palaces throughout the greater 7 Heavens, all of which are guarded over by the great warden angels. As with the Sephiroth, they emanate from the right side of the Creator (although the Hechaloth come from the Shekinah, as they are feminine). There are also unholy emanations (the unholy Sephiroth or Qlippoth, the averse ones) and these issue from his left side (the dark or negative side). Keeping in mind that the adversary, Satan was once seated as a representative of God’s “left hand side,” this indicates that the mocking Sephiroth are actually emanations from him. For a listing of both choirs, see here.
He’el – [“God of life”]. An angel leader of the “heads of thousands.” Said to be a regent of guardian angels serving under Gabriel (the Archangel of Humanity). In Enoch I, He’el is ruler of one of the seasons of the year, (probably spring/summer). In the Apocrypha, he is associated with the angel Elimelech (also under Gabriel).
Heiglot – In transcendental magic, a genius or angel of snowstorms. He is also a ruler of the 1st hour of the day. In The Nuctemeron, the 12 hours, analogous to the 12 zodiacal signs are presided over by the 12 gennii or angels, of which Heiglot is one.
Heikhali – In Hechaloth lore, an angelic guard stationed at the 7th Heavenly hall at Araboth.
Hel – According to Scot, Discoverie of Witchcraft, Hel is a name for an angel of God, invoked in conjuring rites. Hel is an angel of death and is invoked regarding premature death ore resurrection. Associated with the Nephilim Helel. In this Lucifer connection, he often appears as an angel of light, but tortures the ill-fated invocant in exchange for their petition.
Helayaseph (Jiluyaseph, Hilujaseph) – An angel governing one of the seasons (most likely fall/winter), as noted in Enoch I. Helayaseph is under Uriel and Gabriel and is “head of a thousand” angels of the season.
Helech – [Abelech]
Helel – [“The Dwelling God”, “The God who Dwells here”]. In Canaanitish mythology, a fallen angel, son of Sahar or Sharer, a winged deity. Helel sought to usurp the throne of the chief God and, as punishment, was cast down into the abyss. He is thus sometimes equated with Lucifer. However, although the “1st star” to fall from Heaven was Satan, as Bamberger argues in his Fallen Angels: “The more natural explanation (in this legend) is that the 1st star [that fell] was Azazel.” He is refering to Azazel, the wicked Grigori who’s son was the leader of the Nephilim, called Helel. This is most likely the result of a mixing of the two legends, as Azazel was a “winged God” and called “Sharar” which means “enemy” (obviously not the Creator God). Azazel was not the original chief of the Watchers who fell, but became known as “the chief God” when he persuaded the Grigori towards evil and took power from the true head of the order Semyaza. The Nephilim were known for attempts at destroying their fathers to claim hold on their power and possessions, and rather than kill their sons, the Grigori often sent them away to foreign lands (which would explain the notion of “the abyss” in this legend).
Heleleth (Eleleth) – [“The God who Lived before”]. In Gnostic lore, a great luminary, described thus in the Hypostasis of the Archons: “the great Heleleth descends from the Holy Spirit; his aspect like gold, his vesture like snow.”
Helemmelek – In Enoch I, an angel governing one of the seasons (probably summer/fall). His name is said to be an inversion of Milkiel.

Hemah – An angel of wrath, with dominion over the death of domestic animals. Hemah is under Azrael and Ariel and is also an angel of destruction. According to The Zohar I, Hemah, with the help his brother angel named Af (the angel of rage), nearly swallowed Moses, and would have suceeded in doing so, but for the timely intervention of God. When the Lawgiver was disgorged, he turned around and slew Hemah – one of the rare instances where a mortal was able to do away with an immortal, an angel. Like Af, Hemah was 500 parasangs tall, and was “forged out of chains of black and red fire.”
Heman – [“Trustful one”, “Faithful one”]. According to Rabbi Judah in The Zohar (Kedoshim) and according to 3 Enoch, Heman is a leader of one of the heavenly choirs. Heman and the angels under him sing hosannas in the morning hours, just as those under Jeduthun sing hosannas in the evening hours, and those under Asaph sing at night. Psalm 88 is headed: “To the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.” In the course of time, it seems that the 3 psalmists (Heman, Asaph, and Jeduthun) were transformed into maestro-angels (Ischim) in order to perform, in Heaven, services for which they showed special skill on Earth.
Herachio – [Astrachios]
Herald Angel – Akraziel to the various Heavens, Michael to all the Heavenly Host, & Raziel to the Walkers and all angels on Earth. Gabriel serves as a Herald to mankind and to the realms of Purgatory and Limbo, which he governs. Pyriel was the angel who announced Jesus’ resurrection. Ariel was the announcer to the Shepherds of the Nativity.
Herald of Hell – Zophiel. A mocking title passed to the angel by Gabriel (or others) when the spying angel who, during the First War, returned from Hell’s ranks where he had been stationed to infiltrate and announced that the war had been in vain. In his attempt to surreptitiously enter & gain access to the infernal army he had become convinced of their motives and in jest, was given the title “Herald of Hell” when he tried to persuade Gabriel’s army to withhold advances on a group of fallen which were planning to enter Heaven. He also gave information regarding a planned attack on the 3rd Heaven involving fire of some kind, but he was discovered before the attack was launched and not permitted to pursue espionage during the remainder of the War.
Hermes – [See Pantheon Associations – Hermes]
Hermesiel – A leader of the heavenly choir, sharing his post with Metatron, Radueriel, Tagas, and other celestial masters of song. Hermesiel is an angel “created” from Hermes, the Greek divinity. Says T. Gaster in The Holy and the Profane: “Hermes, inventor of the lyre, was transmogrified into the angel Hermesiel.” Due to his Hermes association, he is considered associated with Raphael as a variant or cooresponding angel.

Equated with one of Michael’s generals as chief of the Bene Elohim [“Sons of the Gods”], an order of angels which are directly under the 7 Aeons (Archangels). These are usually Generals of the Archangels, but are ranked as one of the orders among the 10 hierarchies in the Kabbalah.
Hokmael – [Hochmel]
Holy Beasts (Hayyoth, Hashmallim) – In the Talmud, the holy beasts are equated with the Cherubim. However, the Hayyoth is probably where the term originated from, the Cherubim being a direct associated choir with this particular order. In Hagiga, “the holy beasts are numbered with the Ophanim, and the Seraphim, and the ministering angels.”
Holy Ghost – [Holy Spirit]
Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) – Another name for the Comforter; the manifestation of God which makes it’s dwelling within the created world. This is the 3rd person in the Trinity, where God the father, and the Son (the Event One) make up the remaining. The Holy Spirit is regarded as female, and equated with the Shekinah, and the Pistis Sophia. As a divided manifestation, the holy spirit has “made it’s dwelling in the Earth” since the creation (or fall) of man, but is hidden and veiled. Upon judgment, the Father and the Spirit will be reunited. The Gospel According to the Hebrews makes the Lord speak of “my mother the Holy Ghost” who “took me by one of my hairs and carried me to the great mountain Tabor” (traditionally the mountain of the Transfiguration). The “mother” reference here has been argued with the fact that in Aramaic, which Jesus spoke, as also in Hebrew, the word spirit or ghost is of the feminine gender. However, the word “mother” is used apart from the actual utterance of “holy ghost,” which means that it was directly described as female, as the gender of the word itself would not have naturally effected the syntax of the statement. The Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John suggests that “by the angel flying through the midst of Heaven is signified the Holy Spirit.” In other words, the angels and/or their active work makes up this manifestation. Although, Aariel has also been equated with the “Holy Ghost, most definitely as a result of her association with the Shekinah, Pistis Sophia, Demiurge, etc.
Holy Ones – Another term for the Archangels (Aeons, 7 Creation Angels, Angels of the Presence, etc.)

Hosampsich – One of the leaders of the Grigori, as cited in Enoch’s writings.

Hosts of the Height – [Hosts of the High Ones]
Hosts of the High Ones (Hosts of the Height) – A term for angels (regarding their placement under the Aeons), as in Isaiah 24:21, where God threatens dire punishment on his servitors, mortal and divine: “And it shall come to pass on that day that the Lord shall punish the Host of the High Ones that are on High (the Archangels, and the Manifestations) and the kings of the Earth upon the Earth.”
Hosts of the Lord – The ministering angels led by Michael. This is somewhat in association with the Hosts of the High Ones in that it refers to the Archangels or to God vicariously through them. All angels in the armies and the hosts of Heaven are under the charge of Michael, and are called Hosts of the Lord.
Household of the Upper World – The Cherubim, who actually “form” or “constitute” the palaces, thrones and streets of Heaven. The Household of the Upper World is a term used in Hechaloth lore to describe the Cherubim regarding this attribute of the choir. Called in Hebrew: “pamelia shel ma’alah.”
