All fictions wrote: That's the thing, the LBRP's formulation was adapting something in Judaism called B'shem Hashem, also called the angel song, a bedtime prayer invoking the four angels watching over the believer as they sleep.

Outside of B'shem Hashem and the LBRP, there seem to be a lot of association of the four archangels with the four cardinal directions. The archangels stay the same, but the directions vary wildly depending on the sources (as this blog helpfully points out, Kabbalists can't seem to agree on what's the correct alignment).

Typical, isn't it? Oh well, what you've found already will be enough for our purposes.
