Reading about the belief that angles are chained to the planets made me wonder why anyone would believe such beings would be held in the material realm, but then I remembered Revolution mentions angles chained under the Euphrates, so it makes more sense then I expected it to. I doubt that's what Jude was getting at, though, and Enoch isn't scripture.
The Mandaeans sound like an interesting bunch. Obscure religions are deep wells for novelists to draw inspection.

Another name for Mandaeans is Sabia. Though for my Sabia I pulled more from pre-Temple Judaism and Zoroastrianism.
