Mikael, being the regent of the planet Saturn, is—_Saturn_.(615) His mystery‐name is Sabbathiel, because he presides over the Jewish Sabbath, as also over the astrological Saturday. Once identified, the reputation of the Christian conqueror of the devil is in still greater danger from further identifications. Biblical angels are called Malachim, the messengers between God (or rather _the gods_) and men. In Hebrew מכאל Malach, is also “a King,” and Malech or Melech was likewise Moloch, or again Saturn, the Seb of Egypt, to whom _Dies Saturni_, or the Sabbath, was dedicated. The Sabæans separated and distinguished the planet Saturn from its God far more than the Roman Catholics do their angels from their stars; and the Kabalists make of the Archangel Mikael the patron of the seventh work of magic. In theological symbolism ... Jupiter [the Sun] is the risen and glorious Saviour, and Saturn, God the Father, or the Jehovah of Moses,(616) says Éliphas Lévi, who _ought_ to know. Jehovah and the Saviour, Saturn and Jupiter, being thus one, and Mikael being called the living image of God, it does seem dangerous for the Church to call Saturn, Satan—_le dieu mauvais_. However, Rome is strong in casuistry and will get out of this as she got out of every other identification, with glory to herself and to her own full satisfaction. Nevertheless all her dogmas and rituals seem like so many pages torn out from the history of Occultism, and then distorted. The extremely thin partition that separates the Kabalistic and Chaldæan Theogony from the Roman Catholic Angelology and Theodicy is now confessed by at least one Roman Catholic writer. One can hardly believe one’s eyes in finding the following (the passages italicized by us should be carefully noticed): One of the most characteristic features of our Holy Scriptures is _the calculated discretion used in the enunciation of the mysteries less directly useful to salvation_.... Thus, beyond those “myriads of myriads” of angelic creatures just noticed(617) and all these prudently elementary divisions, there are certainly many others, whose very names have not yet reached us.(618) “For,” excellently says St. John Chrysostom, “there are doubtless, (_sine dubio_,) many other _Virtues_ [celestial beings] whose denominations we are yet far from knowing.... The nine orders are not by any means the only populations in heaven, where, on the contrary, _are to be found numberless tribes_ of inhabitants infinitely varied, and of which it would be impossible _to give the slightest idea_ through human tongue.... Paul, who _had learned their names_, reveals to us their existence.” (_De Incomprehensibili Natura Dei_, Bk. IV.)....
