Tuesday's angel is Samael, whose name means "blindness of God". This angel was often associated by Gnostics with the demiurge, Ialdalbaoth. Later texts seem to have been leery of mentioning this angel, considered to be of ill-omen as head of the Left-Hand Emanation, and one often finds the invented names "Kamael" or "Zamael" inserted as "blinds", instead.
