The angel of Tuesday is Sammael, other angels
of Tuesday are Satael, and
Amabiel. On Tuesday pray for war, death, infirmity, and fire.
"With the
Lord and Virtue at my right hand I am victorious this day against
all
adversity and adversaries for the Lord will wound even kings in
the day of
His wrath." Psalm CX:5 Sammael), Ruler of the Fifth Heaven,
has been
regarded as one of the greatest and one of the most powerful Angels
operating in Heaven. Samael represents the severity of GOD, but
also the
power to achieve victory over adversity and adversaries through
virtue
with great power. Hence, this Angel should be a patron to all
those who do
battle on the battlefield, in the courtroom, and in all occupations
of
Law, Politics, Government and the Military. The power to increase
passions resides within this Great Angel of Force. Tuesday revolves
around
the energies of Mars. Tuesdays are good for business, mechanical
things,
buying and selling animals, hunting, beginning studies, gardening,
sexual
activities, and confrontation. Tuesday’s colors are red,
rose, or
scarlet. Angels of Tuesday are Camael, Samael, Satael, Amabiel,
Friagne,
and Hyniel. When invoked, Camael takes the form of a leopard.
In Druid
mythology he is a god of war, which is why we see him associated
with Mars
(again, notice the influence of the Pagan belief system). Camael
is said
to be a member of the “Magnificent Seven” I n some circles.
Camael is
another “terminator” angel. However, some claim he tried
to keep Moses
from receiving the Torah and met his permanent demise, though
Cabbalists
often claim he survived destruction. By the very nature of Mars,
its days
and hours, our intentions will involve romance, health, war, passion,
law,
power, force and courage. The forces of empowerment and protection
in all
partnerships, in our bodies, and marriages are activated by the
Angel.
Clothing, the home and furniture as protective forces should also
be
considered on Tuesdays along with proper exercise and nutrition
to attain
good health. A color of red should be worn this day with ruby,
garnet or
red jewelry of some kind. The toll of Mars is the sword, gavel,
or
pointer, and commonly finds its place in many daily rituals and
functions.
Sammael - For the Jews, Sammael is the prince of demons. In Rabbinical
legend he is a storm demon, and his name is linked with Samiel
or Simoon,
which is the name of a desert wind. According to tradition, Sammael
was
said to have been the highest throne-angel. He was said to have
twelve
wings, which was twice the number of wings of the Seraphim and
other
living creatures. According to the Debarim Rabbi (xi), Sammael
is the
wicked angel who is the chief of all the Satans. It was Sammael
(also
associated with Satan) who, under the guise of the serpent, tempted
Eve in
paradise. According to chapters 13 and 14 of the Pirke de Rabbi
Eliezer,
Satan's fall was mainly out of jealousy and envy on the part of
the
angels. The angels were in opposition to the creation of man,
and were
jealous that man was allowed to give names to all creatures. They
saw this
act as proving that man was superior to themselves. Sammael, who
was the
first of all the angel princes, led a group of angels to earth
in an
attempt to conspire against Adam, so that by his fall, they might
again
gain supremacy over man. In the Bereshith Rabba (xix), the serpent
was
described as possessing hands and feet and it resembled a camel.
It also
could speak. Sammael took possession of the serpent and thus deceived
Eve.
Because of this act, the angels were cast out of heaven and the
feet of
the serpent were cut off. 3 Baruch makes reference to this event.
The
Greek version uses the name 'Samael' while the Slavic text replaces
the
name with 'Satanael.' "And I said, 'I pray you, show me which
is the tree
which caused Adam to stray.' And the angel said, 'It is the vine
which the
angel Samael planted by which the Lord God became angered, and
he cursed
him and his planting. For this reason he did not permit Adam to
touch it.
And because of this the devil became envious, and tricked him
by means of
his vine.'" - 3 Baruch 4:8 (Greek) "And during the transgression
of the
first Adam, she gave light to Samael when he took the serpent
as a
garment, and did not hide, but on the contrary, waxed." -
3 Baruch 9:7
(Greek)
Sammael plays the role of the accuser, seducer, and destroyer
(and is
identified with Satan in some traditions). Another example of
the deeds of
Sammael is his role in the trial of Abraham. Sammael stood before
God to
accuse Abraham of selfish piety. God decided to test Abraham by
asking him
to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Sammael then tried to persuade Abraham
not to
sacrifice Isaac, and also to persuade Isaac to rebel against this
trial.
When he saw that Abraham would not disobey God, he revenged himself
by
telling Sarah that Isaac had been slain. She then died of her
grief and
terror. Sammael is also a symbol of the 'venom of God.' This title
refers
to his role as executioner of the death sentences ordered by God,
and
links him to the Angel of Death. In T.B. Abuda Zarah, Sammael
is
represented as standing by a dying man with a drawn sword in his
hand. The
point of the sword has a drop of gall on it. When the dying man
sees him,
he is startled and opens his mouth. The drop of gall then falls
into his
mouth and the man dies. In this personification, Sammael is said
to have
brought about Moses' death. According to the T.B. Baba Metzia
(86a), the
Angel of Death did not fall but remains one of God's angels. Sammael
also,
as an uncircumcised mate of Lilith, fathered a huge family of
demons.
According to a fifteenth century story, a Spanish Kabbalist of
that era
tried to gain power over Sammael by summoning him in the name
of God. When
Sammael appeared in the form of a serpent, the conjurer bound
the demon by
placing on his head a crown inscribed with magic letters which
spelled
out: 'Thy Master's Name is upon Thee.' But Sammael was not to
be duped
that easily. He cunningly convinced the magician to burn incense
to seal
his victory. When the conjurer obeyed, the demon was instantly
freed from
the spell, as the burning of incense was an act of idolatry. In
the
Kabbalistic tradition, Sammael is the chief of the ten evil Sephiroth.
He
is said to fly through the air like a bird. The dark blemishes
on the
moon's surface are supposed to be this archdemon's excrement.
Samael walks both worlds as a magician and sorcerer. Some see
him as the
angel of death, others as the “bright and poisonous one.”
Many consider
him more of a demon, and accuse him of being Satan. However, there
is
reference to the satans (plural) as enforcers of the law, a sort
of
angelic police, if you will. Supposedly, when Samael is around,
dogs howl
in the night. On one hand, he is the ruler of the fifth heaven
and in
charge of two million angels; on the other, he is the one who
changed into
a serpent and convinced Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit
of
knowledge.
Satael is an angel of air invoked in magic rites and is the presiding
spirit of the planet Mars. Amabiel is another spirit of the planet
Mars;
however, he spends his energy on issues of human sexuality. Friagne,
also
an angel of this day, is invoked from the east. He is a member
of the
fifth heaven. Hyniel also belongs to this day and is subject to
the east
wind. So you decide is this an angel or a devil. Do you want to
call him
forth in your life.
