Camael

Camael - chief of the order of powers and one of the sefiroth.  In occult lore, Camael is of the nether regions and ranks as a Count Palatine.  When invoked, he appears in the guise of a leopard crouched on a rock.  In the cabala, Camael (Khamael, Kemuel) is one of the 10 (actually 9) archangels of the Briatic world. "it is a name," says Eliphas Levi in The History of Magic, "which personifies divine justice."  In a footnote to Levi's book, Waite, the editor, in chapter 10 , notes that, in Druid mythology, Camael was the god of war.  This bears out the frequent citation of Camael in occultism as the ruler of the planet Mars and as among the governing angels of the 7 planets. [Rf. Complete Book of Fortune, p. 514, for picturization of "the Talisman of the Angels," where the name Camael occurs.]  In The Magus, Camael is one of the "seven angels which stand in the presence of God."  For the legend that Moses destroyed this great angel for trying to prevent the Lawgiver from receiving the Torah at the hand of God, see Kemuel.  Another legend speaks of Camael (Kemuel) being in charge of 12,000 angels of destruction [Rf. The Legends of the Jews III.]  In Clement, Angels in Art, Chamuel is the angel who wrestled with Jacob; also the angel (usually identified as Gabriel) who appeared to Jesus during his agony in the Garden of Gethsemane to strengthen Him.  (a)

Kemuel - the great archon who stands at the windows of Heaven as mediator between the prayers of Israel and the princes of the 7th Heaven.  Kemuel is chief of seraphim and one of the 10 holy sefiroth.  Legend tells of Moses destroying Kemuel (Camael) when this great hierarch tried to prevent the Lawgiver from receiving the Torah at the hand of God.  [Rf. Ginzberg, The Legends of the Jews.]  Kemuel, according to the Revelation of Moses, is (or was) leader of the 12,000 angels of destruction.  (a)
