User blog comment:Consus, the Erudite God/Archangels-Are there more to come?/@comment-27823085-20160218184532

I might be blowing some people's minds, but the huge Angelologist geek that I am screams every time I see 'Lucifer IS the Devil' passed around as legit lore. It's great for storytelling, but not facts (as factual as myth and lore can be, that is). Here it is:

Lucifer IS NOT Satan, Satan IS NOT his real name, but a varient of another, and he does NOT hold the title of archangel since being cast out.

I'll save all the scholarly babble and simply point of some facts. Lucifer (aka: Hele, the Morning Star) was none other that the King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. For those who want to fact check me or get into the scholarly babble, you can visit here Lucifer King of Babylon The relationship between Lucifer and Satan comes in because it was Satan who was precieved to be the power behind the King.

Who is Satan? Satan is actually the Archangel Samael who was a Cherubim (same as Cas). There are nine orders grouped in three... these three groups are known as "triads of power". The most powerful triad are the Seriphim, the Cherubim and since the New Testament, there is now the Thrones in this top group. Michael and Metatron are Seriphim, Gabriel, Cassiel (Castiel) and Raphael are Cherubim. Before I get you too confused, see the main triad of power as the FAMILY of angels they come from like, "The Smith's, the John's and the William's", and all the other orders as where these individuals fit as far as status, careers and their purpose.

Now, these angels did hold different positions in other of the nine orders just like Jake Smith is also a baker, just like Roy Williams and Paul John... so if there was an order of Bakers, then no matter what family they belong to, they would also be in that order as well ... ex. Michael is a Cherubim who is also of the order of Virtues, Principalities and Archangels. Samael (Satan) is a Cherubim who WAS also in the order of Archangels.... when he fell, he lost that status: ref. Samael (Sammael, Satanil, Samil, Satan, Seir, Salmael) , Jewish Encyclopedia: Samael and The Hierachy of Angels

And just for poops and giggles... did you know that Jesus was actually an ARCHANGEL? On of the "Angels of Presence"... which means he was a vessel through which God could manifest... like the burning bush... http://www.laurentiuprelipcian.com/?p=441

Just think of the storytelling that could come from that... heh... oh, wait... already done! (Winchester: Next Generation Series)

Now, before I stop annying people and get up outta here, I wanted to mention something that bugs me to the very day... the belief that Castiel is based on the ARCHANGEL Cassiel because Cassiel is the angel of THURSDAY. Um.... no. Sorry Kripke. Love you doll, but you got that from the Grimoire of a Freemason... in all other Grimoires and scriptual texts, he is the angel of SATURDAY. Which is fine of course, to make Castiel an angel of Thursday... but to say he was inspired by the Archangel Cassiel because he is the angel of Thursday makes me feel itchy.

I best go find a cream for that.....
