Araqiel - also
called Arkiel and Saraquael, an Angel mentioned in
the first book of Enoch as being ranked among the
infamous two hundred Fallen Angels who taught
humanity certain kinds of knowledge. Although
arrayed with the evil Angels in this account,
Araqiel is also considered a good Angel in other
sources, such as the Sibylline Oracles. For
example, he is credited in some accounts as one of
the Angels who carry the souls of Deceased persons
to heaven and before the throne of God for
judgment.

Arariel - an Angel
of the waters, Arariel was recognized as having
authority over the oceans, and as such he was asked
for help by fisherman in catching fish large enough
to tell a tale. There is also a tradition that
Arariel would cure stupidity.

Archons - eminently
powerful spiritual beings, said to be equated with
the Aaeons and also with the Archangels. The
Archons were created in the teachings of the
Gnostics (the early heretical movement in
Christianity) and were said to have been born by
the will of the Gnostic deity Demiurge. In the
dualistic thinking of the Gnostics, where the
material world is considered evil, the Archons
were equated with beings of evil, in large part
because they had the duty of governing the running
of the world, a place of inherent wickedness. Their
other terrible purpose was to imprison the souls of
humans in the sin-racked material bodies and so
leave them trapped in the wicked realm of the
world, unable to free themselves and pass upward
into the divine light.

Ariel - there are
several uses of the name in the Old Testament,
namely in Isaiah, where it denotes the city of
Jerusalem; and in Ezra, where it is the name of a
man. There is also a long-standing tradition that
Ariel is an Angel, the name meaning "lion of God,"
Although he is variously described as a member of
the Angelic hierarchy, he is sometimes placed among
the evil Angels. He is thus, variously, an Angel
companion of Raphael in his efforts to assist
humanity. In John Milton's Paradise Lost, he
is one of the Fallen Angels who is routed by the
stern and obedient seraph Abdiel during the war in
heaven.
