Avatar - ten
Angel-like beings who appear in Hindu lore and are
the human or animal incarnation of a diety, taking
such a form in order to combat evil or perform some
significant act of goodness. The most famous of the
avatars is Krishna (Krsna), the divine cowherd.
Kalki (or Kalkin) is an avatar still to come,
supposedly riding a white horse with wings to
destroy the world at the end of the four ages. The
other avatars are Buddha, Matsga, Narasimha,
Varaha, Kurma, Parasurana, Vamana, and Rama.
Krishna, in some regions, is actually considered a
god, his brother Balarama serving as an avatar. The
avatar demonstrate the worldwide prevalence of
Angelic beings intervening in the affairs of
humanity.
-
Azazel - one of the
Fallen Angels, also known as Iblis.
-
Azaziel - a seraph
who figured in Lord Byron's poem "Heaven and
Earth." Azaziel fell in love with Anah,
granddaughter of Cain. To save her from the coming
of the Great Flood, which covered the Earth, the
Angel snatched her up and, tucking her beneath her
wings, carried her to safety on another
planet.
-
Azbuga YHWH
(a.k.a. Asbogha) - a prominent
Angel in Hebrew lore, ranked as one of the eight
princes of the throne of judgment. He is even more
powerful than the dread Angel Metatron. According
to some Jewish legends, Azbuga has the task of
welcoming the truly worthy into heaven (some being
considerably more worthy than others) and covering
them with righteousness.
-
Azrael - the much
feared Angel of death in both Islamic and Hebrew
lore, whose name means "whom God helps." Among the
Muslims, Azrael possesses four thousand wings and
seventy thousand feet. Most important, he was given
a supply of eyes and tongues exactly equal to the
number of people inhabiting the world. Each time
Azrael blinks one of his eyes, it signifies that
another person has died. He came to the task by
virtue of a surprisingly difficult job given to the
Angel of God. the Lord commanded that Michael, Gabriel, and
Israfel journey to the Earth and return with
seven handfuls of dirt with which God planned to
create Adam. The Earth, however, refused to give
up its treasure, moaning that mankind should not
be created because they would turn against God
and bring only sadness. As the three Aangels
returned empty-handed, the Lord chose a fourth,
Azrael. Far more determined, Azrael wrenched
from the Earth the dirt and brought it before
the heavenly throne. As a reward, God made
Azrael the Angel responsible for separating the
human soul from the body at the moment of death.
Aside from his blinking eyes, Azrael also keeps
track of the dying by scribbling ceaselessly
into a mighty book. He writes into the book the
births of the living and just as often erases
the names of those who have died. Azrael is
actually to be identified with Raphael, the
Archangel most closely associated with the life
of humanity.
-
Azza - a Fallen
Angel who is condemned to suffer a unique
punishment for his sins. Accordining to Jewish
lore, Azza was bitterly opposed to God's plan to
reward the patriarch Enoch with elevation to
Angelic status. (Enoch was transformed into the
Angel Prince Metatron). Expelled from heaven, Azza
was hung upside down between Earth and paradise.
Ever plunging but never actually crashing, he is
forced uncontrollably to open one eye so that the
full horror of his predicament is driven home.
Prior to his fall, Azza was listed as a ministering
Angel, (in the third book of Enoch), and is said to
have been responsible for teaching the famed King
Solomon many secrets of heaven.
