Re: You know that Castiel is an actual name, right?

No, Cassiel means Speed of God.

Castiel is an angel named in Peter de Abano’s “Heptameron, or Magical Elements” and in subsequent occult tomes.

He is mentioned there as an angel governing the day Thursday, which places him in the sphere of Jupiter, or on the 4th Sephirah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life (Chesed -"Kindness/Compassion") and all things related.

He is often confused with the angels Cassiel or Kaftziel, who are better known in the literature. Some believe “Castiel” refers to one of the above, and was a mistake on de Abano’s part.

Regardless of whether it was a mistake or if in fact de Abano wrote Heptameron, or Magical Elements (it's attributed, but some people think that claim spurious), the name "Castiel" appears in text in the 13th century alongside Cassiel, who is an angel of Saturday, which makes sense, since he is considered the angel of Saturn.
