Lailah

Lailah (also Laj'lah, Hebrew: לילה "night") are Primordial Angels (Spirits of Personality) who, according to the Genesis account, served the Elohim as Spirits of Darkness or Spirits of the Night in their work of creation. They have retained certain characteristics from the Old Saturnian existence, where there was no light and the whole world was immersed in darkness. The Lailah are still active today in the vital formative forces that work on the physical and etheric body during sleep and thereby repair the damage done by our daytime consciousness. In Genesis, they are opposed by the Spirits of Light called Jom (Hebrew: יום "day"), which are the properly developed Spirits of Time.
