Castiel Angel:Castiel Supernatural
Castiel Angel:Castiel Supernatural – Castiel Angel played by Misha Collins is the newest character from Supernatural.Supernatural season 4 aired tonight on the CW and more details were revealed about Castiel ,he is radioactive and he came to warn Pamela Barnes not to call the creature to help her free Dean.
But Pamela Barnes disobeyed Castiel,her TV and radio blew her eyeballs and skull off.
She survived, but is now blind.
That’s the latest on Castiel Angel:Castiel Supernatural.

That character description is almost completely wrong.
Castiel freed Dean from Hell, because he was told to (presumably by God). He warned Pamela not to call on him because his visage would blind her (& did). The show never says that he is radioactive, just that humans cannot see or hear him in his natural state without being hurt by it – although he does briefly mention that a select few can. They never explained why electronics are triggered by his presence, but I attribute it to the sheer amount of power surrounding him.

I totally agree with Cyn, you got the whole charecter of Castiel wrong. He is exactly as she described, and as an angel his true form would be more than most humans could handle if you look into the actual lore of angels. Not the modernised fluffy kind, but the old school biblical descriptions. They were warriors for God. Castiel seems to be very much in this mold.He didnt warn her NOT to look for the creature that freed Dean (as he was the one responsible), he warned her not to look upon him. She refused to turn back and lost her sight as a result. Where did the radioactivity come into it?

I think with ‘radioactive’ the original author is refering to the burn marks on Dean’s upper arm(s?). Castiel’s touch supposedly left marks behind where he gripped Dean while raising him from perdition
As for calling that ‘radioactive’, there was a character on Heroes who – when touching people – left burn-marks on them becuse he was radioactive.

Wait folks.So he said “god?!” That has become a generalized term and they may have used it to placate the masses so they could understand through the haze of their Westernized brainwashing.How many know about the book of Enoch?What about Kelly and DEE and the Golden Dawn?
How about the Yezidi people in the Northern areas of Iraq that worship Angels,mainly one called Melek Taus but also they worship a Hierarchy of angels called heft sirr!I am NOW going through a very old language to see if one fits up! There IS an angel called Castiel “angle” in an old Tarot deck which, believe it or not, represents Thursdays.There ,too, is a Djinn that I found in Angelic Script that is Kasstiel(spelling unsure!) So, could be many things and i have not gotten to deamons,elementals, and the like.We shall see, yes?
Has anyone even considered looking at Proto-Indo-Europeans language or— hell, Angelic script,even Sanskrit?

Was it not Cathetel? Who is one of gods angels? And is very similar to Castiel in sound.

I somewhat agree with Datfoo, I can already see a rift splitting between Dean and Sam. Already in the first episode of the season the brothers are lying to eachother to pursue their own hidden agendas, and while Dean is enlisted under God, Sam is learning from and putting his trust in a Demon. I think the plot is very clear, but it’s sad. The family relationship was my favorite part of the show.

Y’all might be interested to hear that Castiel is the angel of Thursdays and travel- I think it’s just a nice little humorous nod from the producers of the show to the viewers.

Bible only names 2 angels, Michael and Gabriel. Enoch gives info on angels. What are they and how many are there? Demons and devils, are they the same thing? Lucifer is not an angel according to the bible.

I said that last Friday BUT I discounted it for it original representation of agricultural ideals. That may be a joke they put in using a newer version of a Abrahamic religion but it would be Judaic and NOT Christian.If you are looking at Christian “angels” which is it? Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Principalities, Dominations, Virtues, Archangels, Angels? That is from Genesis to Romans and if you do NOT think that the Council of Nicaea (or many others that wrote letters that became part of the bible) words were not changed, look at poisoner to witch changed in Deut!
Why did they take out I Enoch and the Book of Jubilees? That RIGHT there speaks of the Watchers(Fallen Angels) and and the Book of I spoke with a good friend who is a priest trained in Rome and funny as hell– Missed his calling he did) and we spoke for about 2 hours. As we spoke of the Kabbalah and it phonetic issues. There are many spellings and sounds for each angels so it will be hard to tell what Kripke,Manners, or the writers decided on (what cannon, text, spelling, sound) and what they are trying to say!
I think they know a bit about what they are saying because I have seen some of the veve’s and sigils they use,etc .Why would they all of a sudden change to their OWN mythos and make believe?

Interesting—
The book of Revelation, chapter 11 and Zechariah, chapter 4, talk about the two witnesses.
Angels CAN’T be hurt by humans (they are not anywhere in the Bible!)Angels do “strike” (what could that mean in language theories like Sapir-Whorf? etc) WITNESSES–Humans–Two Witnesses are going to be killed and resurrected, so they will have to be human.
Some people attest that one of the Two Witnesses will be the resurrected Elijah (could this play out in the 66 seals and Lilith, the 1st wife of Adam, bringing Lucifer back? (thank goddess they did NOT say “devil.”) If that is the case Yehweh will still use humans, not angels, for that end-time task. so, thew identity of said Two Witnesses will not be known. Their true selves,identity, will be one of the awesome mysteries eventually reveled(could this be the soul bond of blood and brothers fighting?)

Question– why have the directors/producers/ writers stuck to real world myth and why would they break that flow into a staccato of misunderstandings, a jumping around so to speak! All religious people have sacred narratives, called myths, which explain how things got the way they are. While proverbs and legends describe wisdom and phenomenal exploits “in ordinary, profane time,” myths portray the work of spiritual power(s) in arranging the existing order “in primordial, sacred time” (Loewen 1969)
YOU might call “supernatural” incidents “sci-fi”(that is really not the definition for that word) but many others cal it their world view and believe in it in toto! I have lived with many indigenous peoples from the Inuits, Yanomamo, Huichol, Hopi and other’s belonging to the Uto-Aztecan language family, mainly in the Four Corners area, Jaunsari people(who does not love polyandry? LOL) and others. Point being –they all believe in a system of majics/ symbols, systems of performing ,herbal remedies, gestures and , hum, mythos , etc that you and others, not having seen, preformed or participated in might call ’sci-fi” or fake but I can tell you from a first hand experience from the age of 6 that this is NOT so!
If some choose to discount all that has been documented, fine but just know that some of us that have done certain rituals and magic most of our lives tend to see them as a world view WE understand, have seen work and totally believe in. Not “Sci-fi” in any way, shape or form!

I don’t ever feel like writers for shows like this one just go with the flow. Everything means something and I think they know exactly what they are doing with the name of the angel, his persona, what Dean has to say about “not being worthy”, etc. There is an angel named Cassiel who is one of the Princes of the order of Powers. He is the angel of solitude and tears. Fits don’t it? I’m a preacher’s kid so this show is right up my alley this season.

**********************
Actually, he is PRE- Bible. I have heard the Kabbalah phonetics for it and it is rather NOT how it looks written in English!That angle you speak of is one of the Sarim (Princes) YES? (can you ask your preacher father what the Christians say about that?) We could say Calliel if we decide to do “sounds like”,but you CAN’T with the Kabbalah. Calliel is one of the Throne Angels that is to help during Diversity! (and more and more )
Ok, see, the language “G-d” spoke was considered to be the Holy language, that of Angels also. It was more Holy than the written! The letters had divine truth and POWER! It gets into the four letters of the Tetragrammaton and how it would not be written or spoken(well, one day a year)Yada yada and all Protocol!*scrunches Nose* Yuck! Pronouncing these angles(and other words) would be a great sin. Anyone that could unlock the true pronouncation and master the God language would know the truths and mysteries of the entire freaking Universe! NO omniscient or omnipotent being can have that! HA!
Even given THAT much, the Jewish mystics had some gigantor debate on weather these angles could even TAKE human form!ALL of them did agree that you needed some ESP as a human to see them. We all in Western Culture look at angles as some nice helpful entities.Feck people, they were sent by G-d to kill, maim, BURN, etc. They are warriors, not hand maid and bothers keepers! Come on Peeps–
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
So,anyone got any idea about the obvious Abrhamic reference to the Rising of the Watchers(2 Humans folks) I want to see what folks have to say about “Lucifer” being loosed since there are so many misconceptions about that one (Like Satanist and Luciferians are the same>HAAAAA!) Love this angst and tension(makes Tantirc sex so much more powerful)

Oh please do not use chat-speak. I implore you! It is like trying to read Lojban backwards with no reference to synactic ambiguity.(HAAA!)
Again, Kabbalahistic Angels ( the Abrhamic religions) most likely did NOT take human form and where is there any mention of Dean’s ESP?
Angels and humans–2 separate RACES/beings.Humans do NOT become angels and angels do not become (or possess / use as vessels) humans! There are Canons for these things you know.
What, in the name of Zues b*tthole makes you believe this was all reveled in the last episode? Please do share your insight.

That is not true at all, it mentions several angels in the bible including Michael, Gabriel,Raphael, Uriel, Azriel (angel of death), castiel, and Lucifer is a former angel, the name lucifer actually means “light bringer ” or “morning star” depending on the culture it’s translated in. =D

Actually, what I said is VERY true.I did not say they were not in the Bible but they were Pre-Christian. How long have you studied the Kaballah? Not long I take it. Christianity comes from Judaism. Islam comes from Judaism and Christianity (and some other mixtures) Angels are PRE-Christian my friend. You are getting caught up in thinking that is the ONLY text and culture with angles. Think again!
Lucifer is pre-Christian.. Satan and Lucifer not even close to the same being! Lucifer is the Latin Vulgate translation of the word “xosphoruos” in the Septuagint, which is a Greek version of the Hebrew of Isaiah 14:12, which the King James translators then translated over into the English as “Lucifer.”
The Latin and the Greek, as well as a supposed form of a “Hebrew” word in verse 12 mean “bright shiner” or “shining one.” The problem is, however, that Isa.14:12 was not written in Latin or Greek, but Hebrew. And I assure you that “lucifer” is not a Hebrew word, nor is it an English translation of a Hebrew word. Lucifer is Latin, and is related to a group of Latin derived English words including lucid, luciferin and luciferose, as we saw defined above, all of which suggest brightness or shining. Likewise xosphoros in the Greek derived English words such as, fluorescence and phosphorescence. In all Hebrew of Aramaic texts of Isa. 14:12, the only word found is “heh-lehl,” eill, which is a form of the Hebrew stem “yah-lahl,” ill, meaning howl. Here is Kittel’s Hebrew Text for the Hebrew Stem ill—”yah-lahl”—HOWL. That is IT
Try Looking up Mithras.Who was he? Mithras was:
* Born on December 25th *Of a virgin.*His birth was witnessed by the Magi *He formed his influence around twelve disciples *Was called the Savior of the World, the Lord of Light *He returned to heaven at the Spring Equinox* Before he returned he held a last supper with his 12 companions* This meal consisted of Midz (a special bread marked with a cross) Now, look as the Christian heretic Marcion,and what he said about Azra(jewish scribe) That might help you understand the Angel of death.ONE of them.
Azrael is NOT one of the Christian Angels of Death but a MUSLIM one. Azra’il is the English spelling,you were a bit off. Sorry. The Quran NEVER uses that name because their are 4(i think) angel of death: Jibril, Mikal, and Israfil. They use Malaikat al-Maut(angels of death)
In Judeo-christian lore, Michael, Gabriel, Sammael, and Sariel are all named as the angel of death. In Zoroastrianism, the angel of death is Mairya (Um spelling on that one) In Babylon, it is Mot. The you have Rabbinical lore! There are 14 Angels of Death: Yetzerhara, Adriel, Yehudiam, Abaddon, Sammael, Azrael, Metatron, Gabriel, Mashhit, Hemah, Malach ha-mavet, Kafziel, Kesef, and Leviathan. I mean, Meatron has 100’s of names alone and pronouncations (like i said) THIS is where the Kaballah comes in. You have to really know what is happening and have read all the mystics views, letters , scribes tablets, different versions of myths,on and on. it is not as simple as drawing a name out of a hat.
Words and intonations are HOLY,MAGICAL and SCARED–sound,sex,energy can produce frighteningly beautiful things and conjure them too.

All i know, it would be too sad id dean and sam would have to go against eachother. I knwo that its been forshadowing it up until now but, the whole theme the past 3 seasons is that there brothers and they’re willing to sacrifice their life for each other.
I think the main reason that Dean was “worthy” of being brought back from hell was his will to go to hell in order to save his brother. Well i got that idea when i saw Narnia the first movie, how Aslan was able to comeback from death when he sacrificed himslef for Edmund.
Well all I want to say, Dean and Sam cannot be enemies by the end of this show, it’ll defeat the purpose of the show!!

Lucifer used to be an angel before his fall from grace. Interstingly, the head of the Grigori, or watchers, according to many sources, was Azazel, the yellow-eyed demon. Genesis talks about them as responsible for guarding man, yet they took humans as wives, fathering the nephilim.
As for biblical angels, Michael and Gabriel and the only named in the traditional Bible. Raphael is spoken of in the Catholic version only. Uriel and others are mentioned in the apocryphal book of enoch.
Zoroastarians claim that angels come from their religion orignially, and that Judaism, and hence Christianity, absorbed the idea during Babylonian captivity. However, angels are mentioned frequently in Genesis, which was written before the conquer of Judea.
Azrael is the islamic angel of death. That is not to say he isnt compatible with Judeo-Christian angelology. The angel of death is spoken of in Exodus, but not named. Whatever the name ascribed to him, the concept is the same. As for Sammael, he is in most traditions a demon, the one who gathers to souls of those destined for hell. A demonic angel of death so to say.
Of course, Supernatural is a TV show, and can do what they want. Yet the attention to the actual mythology is what I love about the show. I had been waiting for the introduction of angels and God, since it goes hand in hand with demons. Originally, Dean’s disbelief in their existence is easy to disprove, yet I never heard Sam use this arguement: The things used to combat demons (ie: latin exorcism, holy water, etc) derives its power from God. You invoke God’s power when you use them, so the fact that it works proves God’s existence in the show (and in my personal belief, in reality, though for obviously different reasons).

Castiel is a Jewish name with its roots in the Maghreb region of North Africa and is of spanish origin from latin and means castellum”small castle”. There is also a link to the hebrew name Shalt-el which means “I asked God”, but is also named in the bible as the father of Zerubbabel, governor of Judah at the time of the Persian King Darius. The pronunciation is Arabic, Hebrew or Berber and the spelling tends to very by country and language.

No Lucifer is NOT Christian and is not the same is Satan. It is really logic people. Angels are also VERY pre-Christian. We are assuming this is an Abrhamic God that this “angel” is talking about (assuming he is an angel) and that this is all about the Christian one.Now, going on that it is made in a Westernized culture of North America where Christianity is prevalent, it might just be so. However, the producers,directors and writer are very creative and have thrown in many cultures so, you never know.

AbsintheMinded:
Lucifer is a name mentioned in Daniel. It also is the roman name for Morning star, which is a name attributed to Satan during the Babylonian captivity. Literally it means light-bringer, because many traditions ascribe him as the former head of the seraphim, the ones responsible for praising God.
Remember that just because you can’t find it in the Bible you buy at Wal-Mart doesn’t mean it isn’t from the Christian tradition. There are thousands of apocryphal books that form what christian angelology and demonology is. Regardless if the actual Satan is called Lucifer, Jim, or Leroy Jenkins, the concept is the same. Lucifer is the morning star, a reference to Satan, and very much a part of Christian tradition.
Also, I don’t believe they will depart from the Judeo-Christian version of God and angels. Mainly because of their audience. But also because of the show’s past events. They use the catholic exorcism, holy water, etc to combat demons, so having the correct force behind that would make sense. Also, the angel’s name, Castiel, is in line with Judeo-Christian angels. If you look, all angels have a name ending in -El, which is a hebrew word for God. Michael, for example, and don’t quote me on this, means sword of God.
Azrael is a cool name | Oct 15, 2008 | Reply
So yes there has been a lot of argument about this whole thing that the original author has said. To answer all your questions:
1. Castiel is the angel of thursdays and travel, the name was thrown in as a humorous nod from the producers of the show to the viewers.
2.Why are we arguing semantics? The angels are part of the bible, but are also part of many other religions and “holy” books (zoroastrians, etc.)
3. Lucifer means “light-bringer” translated in Roman and haven’t you heard the story? He was trying to overthrow God as the supreme ruler, and he was thwarted by God and the angels so he was booted out of heaven and was made to forever protect hell until the Rapture.
4. As far as i know, Sam has developed his powers tenfold beyond what they were last season, and he is also apparently being corrupted. Dean has apparently sided with the angels and God, so it would be interesting to see a face-off between them.
5. and yes, Supernatural is a TV show so they can create as many plot lines and mythology as however many they want to.

I have thought regarding Ruby dagger. If it only kill deamons but not angels. Could that dagger be a peice of Arch Angel Micheal sword. Or could be something else. What about Ruby character some how I don’t think its Ruby but Lilith herself trying to turn Sammy into a deamon.

Please remember that michael,gabriel, and raphael are names that are not the old names they had before creation, and yes heaven and angels existed before the Holy big bang (:D). Yes its a show but theres some truth behind it all, but one thing i didnt like is Uriel they made his personality kinda assholeish and Uriel is strong willed not an asshole, and would certainly not call a human a mudmonkey.
What IF? | Mar 10, 2009 | Reply
What if Angels are not actually Angels in the biblical sense (as in divine). What if they are just creatures of great power that don’t like Demons. They are on the opposite side that doesn’t make them ‘good’. What if the God that is mentioned is just another being of great power that thinks himself to be God (maybe throught years of humans kissing ass).
Sam is human but powerful (more powerful than Demons) is he more powerful than an Angel yet?
Does it matter what they are? Maybe Angels and God were once humans just like demons and all other creatures just exist because humans believe in them (thought forms anyone).
Its just about power and what power does i.e. corrupt and whether love can over come this…
I mean the one thing thats for sure in the supernatural universe is that there is power and thus magic an mystical beings.
So if there is a source to all this and Sam and Dean destroy it.
Then humans just go on being human and just have themselves to contend with.
Isnt the big battle the brothers are fighting just a metaphor for the battle that takes place within us all?

Great minds think alike… gods, angels and the like probably are just a bunch of other worldly beings. Many cultures for thousands of years have been mentioning these ‘gods from the skies’and, somehow I don’t think that they were referring to the fluffy, white heaven that most of us were brainwashed into believing exist….but who knows for sure?…

Geez folks! First let us all hit the reality check, Supernatural is a television show created first and foremost for entertainment! Ok,now that we have got that important reality check out of the way let us move on. Lucifer, The Devil, El Diablo, Methostopolese, Diabolese and so on and so on and so on all refer to an “evil” being, presence, essence and so forth. Are all meant to be one in the same; hmmm some scholars and so forth would argue yes, but ah ha were they there when those titles (respectively) came into play!? Nope, nope! Nor were those same scholars and so forth around for the angelic titles, gods titles, goddesses titles and so on…get my drift here yet!?
If the educated can NOT come up with 100% factuality then let us not even look toward the world of television and its shows for a ten trillion billioneth percent of factuality!
We could all sit here and debate and argue day after day but why??? Sit back, relax and enjoy the TV SHOW!
