Tyr's day Angel

Sammael is the ruler of Tuesday, the day associated with

Mars. In astrology Mars is associated with aggression, conflict and emotional passion, as well as with physical skills.

Sammael (whose name is an amalgam of sam, “poison,” and el, “angel”) is an angel of death, the prince of demons, and a magician in rabbinic literature.

In the Sayings of Rabbi Eliezer he is charged with being the one, who in the guise of a serpent, tempted Eve, seduced her, and became the father of Cain.

In the Zohar Sammael is the dark angel who wrestled with Jacob at Peniel.
