Barachiel
Barachiel (Hebrew: בַּרַכְאֵל, Baraḵʾēl, 'God has blessed') is an archangelic figure in Jewish mystical literature and in Byzantine Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian devotion, traditionally associated with blessings, guardianship of family and married life, and as chief of guardian angels. Mystical texts place him over the second heaven and attended by a vast retinue of ministering angels; Christian iconography portrays him with symbols of blessing such as a white rose, rose petals, a bread basket, or a staff.
Binah (בינה)
Binah (Hebrew: בִּינָה Bīnā, "understanding") is the third sephirah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, a non-personal divine attribute that receives, contains and structures the undifferentiated creative impulse (Chokmah). It functions as an intellectual/metaphysical principle in Kabbalistic cosmology and psychology rather than as an independent, anthropomorphic spirit.
Chokmah
Chokmah (חָכְמָה, 'wisdom') is the second sefirah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, described in classical kabbalistic texts as the primordial point of divine wisdom that emerges from Keter and precedes differentiation by Binah. It functions as an abstract metaphysical principle and cognitive archetype rather than a personified spirit in the provided sources.
Ein Sof Aur
A Kabbalistic metaphysical formulation linking Ein Sof (the Infinite) with ʾOr (divine 'light'), used to discuss divine emanation and the manifestation of revealed divine names (e.g., YHWH Elohim) rather than a personified folkloric being.
Gevurah
Gevurah (Hebrew: גְּבוּרָה, Găḇūrā) is the fifth sephirah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, an emanation representing the divine principles of judgment, limitation, and disciplined strength. It functions as a structural attribute within Jewish mystical cosmology rather than an individual personal spirit.
Keter
Keter (Hebrew: כֶּתֶר, "crown") is the highest of the ten sefirot in Jewish Kabbalistic cosmology, the first emanation from the Ein Sof that functions as the primal divine will or initial impulse toward creation. It is described as utterly concealed — "the most hidden of all hidden things" — and as the origin point from which subsequent sefirot emerge.
Ohr
Ohr (Hebrew: אור, ʾor, 'Light') is a central technical term in Kabbalah denoting divine light or emanation. It functions as a metaphysical model for how divine influence flows into and relates to the created world, rather than a personified being.
Sandalphon
Sandalphon is a highly elevated angelic figure in later Jewish and Christian mystical literature (rabbinic, midrashic, and Kabbalistic), often ranked among the chief angels. He functions as an intermediary who gathers human prayers and transmits them to God, is associated with heavenly song, and is placed in Kabbalah as representing the sephirah Malkuth and as chief of the Seventh Heaven.
Sariel
Sariel (Heb. Śārīʾēl) is a named angel attested in Jewish apocryphal literature and in late‑antique apotropaic contexts. He is listed among a small group of prominent angels charged with oversight functions (e.g., set over spirits who sin) and appears as an invoked protective name in ritual artefacts and sectarian practice.
Sefirot
The sefirot are the ten divine emanations or creative attributes in Kabbalah through which the infinite Ein Sof reveals and continually creates the cosmos and structures the human soul. They function as dynamic, relational channels (often arranged as the Tree of Life) rather than separate gods or independent beings.
Theli (Dragon)
A celestial being described as a dragon in Jewish mystical tradition, placed above the universe, with an ambiguous role within the mystical framework. (Note: 1. Remove "The purpose and powers of Theli within the universe might be multifaceted but not clearly defined in Jewish mysticism." since it's an assumption and not supported by the source. 2. Clarify )
Aribeth de Tylmarande
Aribeth de Tylmarande (commonly Aribeth or Lady Aribeth) is a fictional human paladin of Tyr in the Forgotten Realms setting, portrayed as a high-ranking civic and religious officer in the city-state of Neverwinter whose grief and crisis of faith lead her from defender and ally to an antagonist in the Neverwinter Nights narrative.
