Meresin

Other Names / Variants: Merasin, Meris, Metiris, Merihim, Meririm

Meresin - a fallen angel, chief of the aerial powers, as in Paradise Lost.  In Camfield, A Theological Discourse on Angels, Meresin (spelt Miririm) is one of the 4 angels of revelation - which would make him a holy angel; however, in Heywood, The Hierarchy of the Blessed Angels, he is lord of thunder and lightening in Hell - which, presumably, would make him one of the damned.  (a)

Meririm - In Barrett, The Magus I, Meririm is identified as the evil power whom Paul in Ephesians calls "the prince of the power of the air" (i.e. Satan).  Barrett claims that Meririm is prince over angels of whom Revelation speaks and "to whom is given to hurt the earth and the sea....he is the meridian devil, a boiling spirit, a devil ranging in the south."
