A COMPENDIUM OF ANGEL NAMES

The following is an extensive list of angel names. It’s part of a larger collection of magickal
names I’ve been compiling over the past year. The names come from several sources,
including The Book of Enoch I (Charles translation), Gustav Davidson’s classic work A
Dictionary of Angels, Matthew Bunson’s Angels A to Z, and the Angelsencyclopedia put out
by Visible Ink Press (compiled by James Lewis and E. Dorothy Oliver), in addition to a
few sources of Medieval ceremonial magic, such as Richard Kieckhefer’s Forbidden Rites.

There will be a separate compendium that lists demon names.

Technically, angels are differentiated from demons because the latter fell while the former
remained associated with the Heavenly host. But of course it’s never as simple as that, and
there are certainly the names of fallen angels mixed in throughout this list (especially with
those taken from the Book of Enoch).

How do you resolve the issue of fallen versus not fallen in the matter of heavenly beings?
If you go by the edicts of the Medieval Church, the only angels who are to be considered
legitimate and not fallen are those three archangels whose names appear specifically in the
Bible: Raphael, Gabriel, and Michael.
Of course, conspicuously, these three also appear specifically by name within the sacred
texts of another culture entirely. In the Sumerian tale of Inanna’s descent into the
Underworld, Michael, Gabriel, and associates stand guard at each of the gates of hell.
Those who would later be adopted as archangels into Jewish myth appear as guardians who
exact payment from the goddess before she may pass through the various levels of the
underworld in her attempt to reach the throne of her sister, Ereshkigal.

The voluminous lore of angels and demons that has grown up throughout the ages holds
that same fascination for me that most bodies of myth do. I imagine that many of you will
find this list insteresting, if only for the sake of curiosity. Enjoy.
