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)
