Archangel

Satan disguised as a cherub tricks Uriel, one of the seven archangels, and as soon as he realizes his mistake he warns Gabriel that someone has trespassed the Garden of Eden. Milton describes the devolution or degeneration of Satan since the rebellion to when he faces Gabriel and the other archangels in Eden. He starts as an archangel (when God creates him); then to a cherub (much lesser angel); from cherub to a bird (which is the last shape he has with the ability to fly); a lion and then a…

A sculpture that was created during this time was The Archangel Michael. An ivory relief on the sculpture dates back to earlier classic ivories. The ivory was carved around 520-530 in Constantinople. Archangel Michael is a descendent of the deities of Greco-Roman, down to the rich drapery. At this time, classicism became a driving force for Christians. What makes this sculpture a compelling piece of art is the disembodied quality to archangel Michael’s presence. This sculpture is clearly from…

her life highly impacted France in politics and in the church. You may wonder, “What does Joan of Arc have to with Christianity?”. The answer is quite simple, Joan of Arc believed she had visions and heard voices that came from God- specifically Archangel Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret. What these voices and visions told her was that she was to help save France and also help the then Dauphin of France (Charles VII) become king and save her from the English. She is till this day a…

Archangels – Michael and Gabriel are the two archangels that are mentioned most in scripture. We first find the mention of Gabriel in the book of Daniel 8:16 when Gabriel was sent to explain the vision of the ram and he goat: “And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai…

the first three chapters of Genesis. The Bible gives short accounts of the creation, the birth of man and woman, the temptation and the fall of man but Milton tells the story from his own perspective to add to the Biblical version. Satan is an archangel. He is rebel, the begotter of evil, a personification of evil, the fallen angel, a spirit created by God, and also the tempter. Milton wants to explain why Satan is seen as the orginator of evil,why he was motivated to destroy creation. In…

still” is reference that H.D. says, thus placing it in a direct juxtaposition to the next line “lovest thou not Azrael” (67). By creating this distinction, the word choice puts peace in direct contradiction from Azrael. Azrael is the name of the archangel of death in some ancient traditions, but it is not used in any religious texts. This is a perfect example of the blending of various religions to form a new text. The bringer of death cannot coexist with the…

Hemisphere those two are reversed. The Watchtowers are protectors of that area, that is where we call the Elements from, when we are casting our circles and performing rituals. In Christian influenced magic traditions, they are understood to be the Archangels Uriel, Raphael, Michael, and Gabriel. The foundation of the "Watchtowers"…

Paradise Lost. Milton says, “knowledge is as food and needs no less her temperance over appetite to know, in measure what the mind may well contain, oppresses else with surfeit and soon turns wisdom to folly” (216). Adam continues to question the archangel Raphael because gaining knowledge is like eating food, and humans need food to survive. Therefore, the desire to know more is inherent and it is just as essential to humans as it is to eat. It is difficult for Adam’s curiosity to be fulfilled…

Imagine believing in something so fervently that you would die for that simple idea. During the Hundred Years War Joan of Arc claimed to have received visions from the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine, all of whom told her to support Charles VII to recover France from English rule. She was later put on trial and burned at the stake for heresy and died at the age of nineteen. The idea of believing in something that much, to the point that I would rather be burned at the stake…
