Possibly an archangel

Levanael

Also known as Jarahel, Jareahel, or Jevanael, this angel is the spirit or protector of the moon.

The world’s worst Wiki page says that Levanael is “the angel of Luna, protector of the moon and of the spirit of the night. He is guardian to the goddess of the moon, Selene. He is a low-ranking angel, though he does not fall into categories as the other angels. Levanael is not a soldier, but an assassin. His wings are black with a white energy that glows from within the feathers and bones, this light a gift from his Lady Selene.” No idea where they got that, but...here it is.

The book it references says nothing about the angel’s description or powers, only stating that Levanael is an angel of the moon and that Levanael is also occasionally referenced by John Dee in various books.

Graphiel

As an intelligence of the planet Mars, Graphiel is responsible for the beneficial influence of the planet. According to Cornelius Agrippa, this includes potency in war, judgments, and petitions; victory against enemies, terribleness toward enemies, and stopping of blood.

Graphiel may also be a subordinate of Gabriel. Their name means ‘to clear away’ in Hebrew.

Know anything about children of archangels? Also about the name Aefiel or variations of how it could be written?

Sorry to disappoint, but there’s nothing canonical about archangels—or any angels, for that matter—having children. The only recorded exception is the Nephilim.

Long theological discussion summarized: There’s no agreement about the nature of the children of the (hypothesized) fallen angels known as the ‘sons of God’, who married ‘daughters of man’. Different traditions have different names and interpretations of these half-divine children, but pretty much all agree that it was a bad idea and both the children and the fallen angel parents were punished.

You might check some lists of the Grigori/Watchers if you were looking for a singular name. The Book of Enoch says that they are these ‘sons of God’ that fell to Earth.

As for that name, there’s nothing concrete. All options kept adding consonants (Afriel, Avriel, Aftiel) but there is Avial, guardian of the halls of the Seventh Heaven.

Good luck in your search and again, I apologize for how ridiculously late this is. Happy New Year!

do you have anything on the names Ecanus or Tabbris? i already know that ecanus is an angel of writing, and tabbris is an angel of self-determination, but is there more about them? :0c

You’ve pretty much got it, actually. I found a little bit more, not sure how much it’ll help...

Ecanus (also know as Elkanah) is one of 5 scribes that recorded the esoteric books dictated by Ezra. 70 of these are supposedly secret, while the rest—to a total of 94 or 204, reasons unknown—are public. I have no idea what these books are, I’ll have to do more research when I have my books back. (Also, no idea where ‘Elkanah’ comes from. All other mentions of the name are about Hannah’s husband, the Biblical character.)

Tabbris (or Tabris) is not present in any record that isn’t fictional or New Age-y, which is unfortunate, but I did find something kind of cool. The name Tabris could mean “the revealed” or “arisen” in Arabic. There’s a whole linguistic rabbit hole that I’d have to examine more closely to be certain about that, but it’s an interesting idea. Might be helpful.

Many apologies for the lateness (and lack of research, my resources are currently very limited.)

Do you have anything on the names Malachiel or Ezraiel (unsure of spelling on this one so if there's anything similar that works!) thank you <3

Hey! So Malachiel literally just means ‘angel of God’ so the root Malakh/Malach appears in several names, all of which could be the one you’re looking for. The  -iel is really just semantic. Here’s a nice list:  

http://hafapea.com/angelpages/angels4.html#malach%20be

Few options for Ezraiel: Ezrael is an angel of wrath that protects ‘middle’ people—I assume in a moral sense—from angels of destruction. Israel is maybe an archangel…If the same as Izrael, they are involved in the Abrahamic apocalypse in some way. Izra’il is an angel of death.

Hope this helped!

Do you had anything on Fælin or Riedar (or alternate spellings, I spell it how it sounds)

Hey! I did some digging and sadly I didn’t find very much. The only close one was Rahdar, who is an angel of the sign of Cancer.

There was nothing for Fælin, but I think that’s a naming thing. The English letter F doesn’t exist in Hebrew—English took the sound from their letter Vav—and is usually translated as a V. Same thing for Greek, which substitues Ph. You might try Vvael or Phalec, which are close-ish.

Either way, it’s most likely that these are spirits or fallen angels who just weren’t recorded. Sorry. :(

Anything on an angel of music?

Sure! The main one is Israfel, but several places reference Sandalphon as being one. Also, pretty much every archangel is, at least a little bit.

Since music is both so common as a minor dominion but rare as a complete one, I’d check under angels associated with Venus, like Anael. Many of them don’t explicitely say music, but it falls under the planet’s influence, so some of those names might be familiar.

Good luck!

Hello! I have a mildly specific one: do you know of any angels that had to do with libraries/reading/writing AND children and young adults? Thank you love

Hello!

Actually, this was harder than I thought. There’s plenty of both, but rarely together. Interesting. I’m going to keep looking and I’ll update this if I find a perfect match.

Ok, so this is going to be a bit dark, but the main one I could find was Metatron? The libraries and knowledge bit is self-explanatory (and I swear a post will come) but supposedly he is “the teacher of prematurely dead children in Paradise.” That’s a new one.

There’s also Penemue, a fallen Watcher, who taught the children of men how to read and write.

The last is Harahel, who is heavily associated with libraries/writing/education, but also supposedly makes children obedient to their parents. I have no idea why.

Anyway, I’ll keep looking, but I hope this was helpful to you!

Know anything about petrel/petriel, sakeriel, or annaniel?

Hey! Depending on how sure you are of these names, I could have a few options for you:

Petrel/Petriel...I got nothing. Most suggestions are pretty far off.

In terms of pronounciation, there’s a few possibilities for Sakeriel (the K is rare, so I tried from Sacheriel.) The most likely one is Zacheriel. Might be an angel of judgement, healing, or children. Problem is, there’s about four-hundred variations of this name because it also belongs to an archangel and this is just one of those variants. (Zerachiel/Zachariel/etc.)

Ananiel is actually a confirmed angel. Using that name directly, they are a guard of the gates of the South Wind. If you use Ananel, it’s a Watcher who’s associated with rain/clouds.

Hope this helped!

is it possible for you to do a post about aphrael ? if not thats alright <3

Hello, anon! I would totally write you a post, but I can’t find that name. I have Afriel (youth or power) and Afrael (death). They’re a little too different for me to combine, I think.If neither sounds familiar, I can just put them on the list and keep looking for your name. :)

Samael

Samael, whose name means “poison/venom of God,” is perhaps the most complicated angel to write a post about.

Samael is recorded as being:

An angel of creation, usually of the third day

An angel of death

Serpent of the Garden of Eden

Husband of Lilith

Opponent of Jacob

Ruler of the Fifth Heaven

A guardian angel

One of the archangels

Enemy of angelologists everywhere

That said, there are many explanations for this wide list of potential dominions. Samael, whether he is recognized as an archangel or the literal king of Hell, has gone by many names, and is likely the victim of mistaken identity. There is no story that belongs to him alone; it is always shared with another name.

Some suggest that Samael is a fallen angel, tricking Eve into consuming the forbidden fruit and fathering demons with human women. In this case, he is usually a substitute for Azazel, Abaddon, or Satan.

Others claim him to be an archangel and ruler of a plane of Heaven. His narrative role as the opponent of Jacob at Peniel is frequently filled by Michael, Gabriel, or Uriel, implying that it was commanded by God as a holy task. He was simultaneously described as a guardian angel of Esau, Jacob’s brother, and could not (chronologically) be the demon or fallen angel described above.

In this case, there’s no way to parse out the ‘true’ narrative. This may be one fallen angel with an excess of mythology or more than two, who have simply become entwined through a shared name.

I’m interested in other opinions on this topic, should anyone like to share.

Yeah, I don’t really find Beelzebub being ruler of hell a credible idea, mostly because it stems from only one actual source. The rest are combining the two entities or using a common title. The impression given is more of an administrator or especially high-ranking subordinate.

Beelzebub

Beelzebub is an interesting entry, because they have only been confirmed as a fallen member of the cherubim. A title or dominion in heaven has never been recorded.

That said, there is a decent amount written about them after their fall. Titles include: “chief of demons,” “lord of chaos,” “lord of flies,” and leader of the 9 evil hierarchies (or classes) of demons.

Some equate Beelzebub with Lucifer/Satan, some do not. As far as I can tell, nobody is claiming Lucifer and Beelzebub are the same, but both have shared the title Satan. (Meaning “adversary,” with subsequent theological debates attached.)

In the Gospel of Nicodemus, which isn’t historical, Lucifer is the first fallen angel, but Beelzebub is the ruler of hell. This is granted to him by Christ because, during the three days in hell, Beelzebub allowed Christ to remove the “saints in prison” (Adam, Abraham, and others), against Lucifer’s wishes.

Could you make a post about Beelzebub please?

Posted! Sorry for the wait. I could write essays about this one, just from sheer number of sources. The Dictionary of Angels gave a nice little list with lots of additional readings if you’d like to check those out (or want me to, either way.)Thanks!
