Labbiel: Labbiel was Archangel Raphael’s original name. God changed his name to Raphael when the angel supported God’s concept of creating humankind.

See Archangels, Raphael.

Lahabiel: Lahabiel is one of Raphael’s chief assistants. He can be invoked to ward off evil of any sort. Traditionally, Lahabiel was invoked to protect people from magic spells, curses, or the evil eye, but he can be invoked whenever you see evil in any form. His name is often inscribed on protective amulets.

See Raphael.

Lahash: In Jewish legend, Lahash and Zakun are powerful angels who led 184 myriads of angels who seized the prayers of Moses’ followers when they asked God to let Moses live long enough to reach the Promised Land. This prevented any of the prayers from reaching God. Lahash apparently had second thoughts about the seizure and tried to restore some of the prayers, but Samael heard of this and bound Lahash with chains of fire. He took him to God “where he received sixty blows of fire and was expelled from the inner chamber of God because, contrary to God’s wish, he had attempted to aid Moses in the fulfilment of his desire” (Louis Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, 809). As a result of his actions, Lahash is considered a fallen angel.

See fallen angels, Samael, Zakun.

Lahatiel (Lahtiel): Lahatiel is, according to an ancient Jewish legend, overseer of the gates of death leading into Hell. He is said to be leader of an order of angels called the Lehatim. He is an angel of punishment in Hell.

See punishment (angels of).

Lailah (Leliel or Laylah): Lailah is the Jewish Angel of Night. Whenever a woman conceives, Lailah takes the sperm to God, who then decides what sort of person the resulting child will become. After this, God orders a soul to enter the embryo, and an angel stands guard to prevent it from escaping. Lailah looks after all matters relating to conception and pregnancy.

Lailiel: According to the Third Book of Enoch, Lailiel is one of the Rulers of the Earth and is responsible for the night.

See Rulers of the Earth.

Lauviah (La-vee-yah) (Lauiah, Laviah, or Luviah): Lauviah has been called both a Throne and a Cherubim. Others say he is a fallen angel. Lauviah is one of the seventy-two Schemhamphoras, a group of angels who bear the various names of God found in Jewish scriptures. He is guardian angel of people born between May 11 and 16 and between June 11 and 15. Lauviah promotes positive thought and is considered an angel of joy and happiness.
