There were reports of a big bright circle in the sky earlier today, I dismissed it as witchcraft

Durianrider stumbles on a 'scoop' that everyone else takes for granted. The guy is such a ... Even the Rapha Wiki page references the origins of the name.

I am sure that the scholars on this forum will relate to this entry in the catholic encyclopedia.
The name of this archangel (Raphael = "God has healed") does not appear in the Hebrew Scriptures, and in the Septuagint only in the Book of Tobias. Here he first appears disguised in human form as the travelling companion of the younger Tobias, calling himself "Azarias the son of the great Ananias". The story of the adventurous journey during which the protective influence of the angel is shown in many ways including the binding "in the desert of upper Egypt" of the demon who had previously slain seven husbands of Sara, daughter of Raguel, is picturesquely related in Tobit 5-11, to which the reader is referred. After the return and the healing of the blindness of the elder Tobias, Azarias makes himself known as "the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord"
As you can see ownership of the name goes back to Ananias not to be confused with banana.
But what interests me is a traveling companion disguised in human form (dressed in Rapha?) who would be a protective influence, cheap at half the price I say.
