Planetary and Seasonal Angels
The ancient Romans associated the days of the week with the seven visible planets. The association gradually took on more and more elements, including angels. The first documented evidence of this comes from twelfth-century Spain. Esoteric philosophy flourished at that time, and European scholars began translating valuable books from the past, discovering many insights in the process. Here are the planets and angels that are generally associated with each day of the week:

Tuesday……..Mars…………(Also Sammael)
Wednesday….Mercury……..Raphael (Also Michael)
Thursday…….Jupiter……….Zadkiel (Also Sachiel and Zachariel)
