The Archangels involved
Raphael - "The Healer of God"; which is why he's sometimes associated
astrologically and astromagically with Mercury.
Gabreiel - "The Mighty One of God"; in the gnostic speculations
he's often associated with spirit as the bringer of life, or logos.
Michael - "Who is like God"; guardian of the Jewish people, also
called the "Sword of God" (or the Demiurge); Michael was also the
figure who expelled Adam and Eve from paradise after eating from the
Tree of Knowledge.
Auriel - "The Fire of God"; also one of the important angels. (more
data will be researched and noted later, on this archangel.)
