Mentioned in a previous post:
"Yet mightn't they and others like them be considered
agencies of the angelic?" 221. 21/22

Noting as well, the Enochian Cries of Rilke:
The First Elegy
Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the Angelic
Orders? And even if one were to suddenly
take me to its heart, I would vanish into its
stronger existence. For beauty is nothing but
the beginning of terror, that we are still able to bear,
and we revere it so, because it calmly disdains
to destroy us. Every Angel is terror. . . .

Lew, realistically speaking, figures them to be mere Anarchist
terrorists, but Nookshaft notes:
"Tsk. They are shamans, Mr. Baslight. The closest we
in our fallen state may ever come to the uncivilized
purity of the world as it was and shall never be
again---not for the likes of us." 221. 25/27
Lew doesn't buy it, Nicholas says he must "
"If you are who we are beginning to believe you
might be." 221. 29/30
Yashmeen Halfcourt is then introduced as a "Tzaddik":
The word " tzaddik" literally means "righteous one."
The term refers to a completely righteous individual,
and generally indicates that the person has spiritual
or mystical power. A tzaddik is not necessarily a
rebbe or a rabbi, but the rebbe of a Chasidic
community is considered to be a tzaddik.

As well, she's a "seventeenth-degree Adept". I'm not sure
what that really means, but this came to mind:
