Description

The Judeo-Christian angel is alternately portrayed as a protector of the weak and harbinger of dark portent. Old testament and apocryphal writings describe a creature of terrifying visage and power while modern representations have embraced the image of classical Greek winged demi-gods, which became the norm during the renaissance. Enochian magickal systems and certain offshoots of modern paganism have adopted the archangels or seraphim as conduits to higher spiritual learning and occult knowledge.

Michael, leader of the heavenly hosts, the flaming sword of god. In Christian legend crushes the celestial rebellion lead by Lucifer casting him and his disciples into the lake of fire.
Gabriel, the messenger of god, said to have brought the news of the impending flood to Noah and delivered the news of the virgin’s impending role as the mother of God.
Uriel, the fire of god, guardian of the keys to the gates of hell, is charged with throwing wide its gates at the final judgement.

Raphiel, the avatar of healing, his domain is the healing of the earth and its denizens. Apochryphal lore ascribes the authorship of the Book of Razier, a tome of healing, supposedly presented to Noah.
