Araqiel

Other Names / Variants: Araquiel, Araciel, Arqael, Saraquael, Arakiel, Arkas, Araqael

Araqiel - one of the 200 fallen angels mentioned in Enoch I.  Araqiel taught human beings the signs of the earth.  However in the Sibylline Oracles (see fn. in Charles, The Book of Enoch, 8:3) Araqiel does not seem to be a fallen angel.  He is, indeed, one of the 5 angels who lead the souls of men to judgment, the other 4 angels being Ramiel, Uriel, Samiel, Aziel.  The name Araqiel denotes one who exercises dominion over the earth.  (a)
