Archangel
An Archangel is a supernatural being of Zoroastrian Persian, Judaic, Christian, and Islamic theology, counted among the angels. According to the rabbi Simeon ben Lakish of Tiberias (230-270 CE), all the specific names for the angels were brought back by the Jews from Babylon, and modern commentators would agree that the details of the angelic hierarchy were largely Zoroasterian in origin.
According to the developed Christian tradition, there are three Archangels: Michael, Gabriel and Raphael (sometimes Uriel is included among them).
In the rabbinic traditions of Judaism, and in the Kabbalah, the usual number given is seven: Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, Sariel, Raguel, and Remiel (possibly the Ramiel of the Apocalypse of Baruch, said to preside over true visions).
In Islam, the archangels are Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Azrael.
Occultists sometimes associate archangels in Kabbalistic fashion with various seasons or elements, or even colors. In some (possibly early?) Christian rites, all four of the main archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel) have been invoked as guarding the four quarters, or directions, and the colors associated with them are associated with their "magical" properties.
