Camael
Camael (Hebrew Camael, meaning "One who sees God", also known as Kamuel, Khamael, Chamuel, Camiel, Cameel or Camniel) is an angel in Christian and Jewish mythology and angelology, and is one of the ten Kabbalah angels, assigned to the sephira Gevurah. Camael's name is also included in Pseudo-Dionysius' 5th or 6th century AD, "Corpus Areopagiticum" as one of the seven archangels along with Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Jophiel, and Zadkiel. [1] He is claimed to be the leader of the forces that expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden holding a flaming sword. Camael is not recognised by the Catholic Church due to the Vatican's decision to ban the veneration of angels is not mentioned in the Bible.[2]
