Angel lore, with a focus on Cassiel.
[These are all typed up from my copy of Gustav Davidson's A Dictionary of Angels.]
Cass Cassiah - an angel invoked for the curing of cutaneous disorders. [Rf. Talmud Shabbath, fol. 67.]
Cassiel (Casiel, Casziel, Kafziel) - the angel of solitude and tears who "shews forth the unity of the eternal kingdom." Cassiel is one of the rulers of the planet Saturn, also a ruling prince of the 7th Heaven and one of the sarim (princes) of the order of powers. Sometimes he appears as the angel of temperance. Barrett in The Magus speaks of Cassiel as one of the 3 angels of Saturday, serving with Machatan and Uriel. In the Book of Spirits as well as in The Magus, the sigil of Cassiel is given, along with his signature. In the latter work Cassiel Macoton (so named) is pictured in the form of a bearded jinn, astride a dragon. In Grillot, Picture Museum of Sorcery, Magic and Alchemy (p. 113), there is a reproduction of a page of the Book of Spirits giving the conjuration of Cassiel.
[There's a picture here in the book, and the link leads to it in color - a page from the Magus. The text here is the caption of the picture in the book.] The angel Cassiel, ruler of Saturday, astride a dragon. Reproduced from Francis Barrett, The Magus.
Cassiel Macoton - according to Barrett, The Magus II, Cassiel and Macoton are 2 separate angels, both doing duty on Saturday.
Castiel - a Thursday angel mentioned in occult lore.
Machatan (Machator, Macoton) - a Saturday angel and one of the powers of the spirits of the air, sharing rulersghip with Uriel, Cassiel and Seraquiel, according to Barrett, The Magus; The Ancient's Book of Magic; and other occult sources.
Macoton [Machatan]
Powers (potentates, authorities, dynamis) - the Septuagint first applied the term powers (dynamis) to an angelic order, equivalent to the Greek concept of the Lord's Hosts. [Rf. Caird, Principalities and Powers, p. 11.] Dionysius placed the powers 3rd in the 2nd triad of the celestial hierarchy; he equated the powers (incorrectly) with the seraphim. [Rf. Barrett, The Magus.] According to Fludd, Sammael is the chief of the order of powers, although Camael is commonly so designated. In hermetics, the chief is Ertosi. The principal task of the powers is to see to it that order is imposed on th heavenly pathways. "The powers," says Dionysus, "stop the efforts of demons who would overthrow the world." In Pope Gregory's view, the powers preside over demons. Philo Judaeus classified the 6 highest powers in the following manner: divine logos, creative power, sovereign power, mercy, legislation, and punitive power. St. Paul's references in the various Epistles denote that, to this Apostle of the Gentiles, the powers are (or could be) evil. In Excerpts of Theodotus, the powers are said to be "the first of created angels." Milton in Paradise Lost XI, 221, uses the term as the equivalent of the order of guards (XII, 590).

I'm also taking requests, if anyone wants me to type up info on any other angel. I'm happy to share my book, see!]
