archangel in charge during the transmission of the calls and seems to work directly with Nalvage. (Also see Illemese, who later took over Nalvage’s role in the journals.)
Levanael (Luna of God): An angel of the moon and one of the angels of the Heptarchia. Levenael is the angel who first referred to the practice of the Holy Book of Loagaeth as Gebofal.
Murifri: An angel of the Heptarchia, though his name does not appear on any of the magickal tools or furnishings. Instead, his name is found upon one of seven cipher-tables used to generate the names of the forty-nine angels of the Heptarchic royalty. Although Dee wrote much about the forty-nine royal angels, he recorded very little about the other names that could be found in the seven tables. Murifri was the only one from that group to appear to Dee.24 He appeared later in the journals to give instructions on the creation of a Heptarchic talisman for a client of Dee’s.
Aath: An angel of the Heptarchia, a Daughter of the Daughters of Light. She appeared once to explain the proper use of the Book of Loagaeth to Dee and Kelley, and to assure them they would not be able to use it to find buried treasure.
Salamian: An angel of the sun who first appears in The Heptameron. In Dee’s records, he comes to warn the men that the demon Mammon threatens them and is trying to hinder their work.
