Sachiel
In kabbalistic and Christian angelology, Sachiel is an archangel of the order of Cherubim. The meaning of his name is given as "the covering of God" [1] and he is associated with the Zodiacal sign Sagittarius,[2] the weekday Thursday, wealth and charity.[1] While in most sources Sachiel presides over Thursday, others do assign him to Monday or Friday.[3][citation needed] All associate him with the planet Jupiter; as such, in new age angel lore he can be invoked for matters involving money, finance, law, politics, and religion.[4] His sigil appears in Francis Barrett's The Magus, an early nineteenth century compendium of occult lore. It also appears in the 16th century treatise, The Complete Book of Magic Science.
[edit] In popular culture
In the Japanese anime franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion, a giant monster of the same name, belonging to the race known as the Angels, appears in the first two episodes of the anime series.
