Senoy, Sansenoy and Semangelof

Within the materials supplied the three names function as a protective triad situated in Jewish folkloric and apotropaic contexts: Senoy, Sansenoy and Semangelof are reported to intervene at the liminal moment of childbirth and in the neonatal period to guard mothers and infants against Lilith. The triadic form and the association with childbirth places them in the same general milieu as medieval and later lists of apotropaic names and talismanic figures; one secondary summary identifies them explicitly as ‘‘one of three angels’’ while a modern fictional excerpt refers to them as the "three medicinal angels." The supplied excerpts do not preserve a provenance narrative, original-language spellings, or a textual genealogy linking these names to a specific medieval source, but they indicate the trio's role as specialized remedial agents in the domestic, perinatal sphere.

No physical or iconographic description of Senoy, Sansenoy or Semangelof is preserved in the provided materials. The only descriptive language available is classificatory: some secondary summaries call them angels, and a modern fictional passage calls them "medicinal angels." These epithets imply a non‑corporeal, beneficial status rather than a detailed anthropomorphic form, but the supplied sources do not record any sensory attributes, attire, size, or iconographic motifs for the three names.

The attested and central ability of the triad in the supplied materials is protective efficacy during childbirth and in the immediate postnatal period: they are said to protect women during and shortly after childbirth and to protect newborn children from the attacks of Lilith. This implies agency against whatever harms the tradition ascribes to Lilith (attacks on infants and parturient women), but the sources do not specify mechanisms (e.g., physical fight, barrier, binding, or invocation), modes of presence (visible or invisible), frequency of intervention, or other powers. Secondary and modern references that call them angels or "medicinal angels" suggest a remedial or healing aspect in later reception, but detailed functional descriptions are not preserved in the supplied excerpts.
