Good and
FALLEN ANGEL
. In the Enochian writings,
Sariel is Saraqel, not the same as Uriel. Sariel rules
Aries and is one of the nine angels who preside over
the summer solstice. As a fallen angel, he teaches the
course of the moon.
In the War of the Sons of Light and the Sons of
Darkness (also known as the Triumph of God), one of
the
QUMRAN TEXTS
, Sariel is one of the four leaders of
the forces of good. The human warriors are given
exact instructions on who is to fight where, with
weapons described carefully. There are four subdivi-
sions (towers) and each is to have the name of their
archangel inscribed on their shield. Sariel is on the
third tower.
In the Ladder of
JACOB
, the Qumran fragments of
the book of
ENOCH
, and in the Neofiti Targum, Sariel is
the angel who is in charge of dreams and their inter-
pretation.
