“These are the names of the angels who watch. Uriel, one of the holy angels who preside over clamor and terror.” Simon said the words of I Enoch, Chapter 20 aloud and Lucio stopped talking. “Raphael, one of the holy angels, who presides over the spirits of men. Raguel, one of the holy angels, who inflicts punishment on the world and the luminaries.”
“Simon?” Lucio leaned around to look into his face. The Healer looked as if he was in a trance. “What is wrong?”
The Healer blinked and then focused on the Italian’s face. “Raguel. Jethro was known as Raguel. Jethro, the High Priest of the Midianites who lived on this mountain with his seven daughters was an angel, Brother. An angel and his daughters were Nephalim. Moses married a Nephalim. Zipporah was half-angel. Raguel presided over this great temple and the god who dwelt below it. Raguel, one of the guards of Second Heaven.”
“A guardian angel?” Lucio asked in confusion.
“No. A guard. He guarded this place, and he wrought great magick in the hilltop temple on the summit of Mt. Sinai. You saw the ruins up there!” Simon’s face grew pink with excitement. “This is very strange. It was Raguel, who made the Ark of the Covenant and within it, he placed the essence of destruction and punishment of the world, the power of the jealous god whom he guarded in this place. Raguel gave Moses the power of dominion over his enemies… a magick box! And there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament.” Simon quoted from Revelations. “That is why Raguel became a fallen angel. He took wives from the sons of men and he had children and he used his power to further the career of his son-in-law. I wonder if Raguel is still here.” He looked around and then shivered.
“I didn’t know that Raguel was a fallen angel, Simon, but I am no expert on the angelic orders. Your father should know if this fellow is still around.” Lucio told him. “But I hope he isn’t or else he might not be too happy to see us.”
Simon nodded his head slowly as the rumblings increased. The ground shook under their feet and the night, outside the noise rolling down the side of the Holy Mountain, was extremely quiet as if the desert itself were holding its breath.
