Kushiel
In Judeo-Christian folklore the angel Kushiel, meaning "Rigid One of God", punishes individuals in Hell.
In Hebrew writings
Kushiel is one of seven angels of punishment along with Hutriel, Lahatiel, Makatiel, Puriel (also written Pusiel), Rogziel and Shoftiel.
As a "presiding angel of Hell," he is said to punish nations with a whip made of fire, although, along with the other angels of punishment, is reported in Second Book of Enoch 10:3 to dwell in the third heaven.
In fiction
Kushiel appears as a character in Jacqueline Carey's series of novels entitled Kushiel's Legacy. Kushiel was the punishing angel of the Yeshuites' One God.
The main antagonist from the video game King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 - Jivatma - runs an assassin's syndicate named Kushiel (or Kusiel).
Kushiel is a recurring character in John Connolly's books featuring private eye Charlie Parker. Kushiel is referred to as The Collector and is only referred to by name in The Reflecting Eye: A Charlie Parker Novella and the recent The Whisperers. He also appears in The Unquiet and The Wrath of Angels.

Coachella
by: Brooke FraserBefore a neon night's lighting
I'm right beside you
The fire in motion
The fire in motion
The desert sun sinking
Sleepy and low
But we're just waking
We are waking
River time is a mountain tonight
Before tomorrow she flows on
Carving valleys in the skin on our faces
I am bright as the sun
You are high as a kite
We are daughters, sons
Brothers and sisters tonight
At Coachella, Coachella
Come on now, darling
Let's shake off these blues
I'll let my hair out
You'll slip off your shoes
I feel like a baby
Newborn in the spring
I'm setting down the sadness
And I won't remember it
When I'm bright as the sun
And you are high as a kite
And we are daughters, sons
Brothers and sisters tonight
At Coachella, Coachella
I'm a warm bleeding heart
You're a generous soul
And I love you though
I'd never met you before
To Coachella, Coachella
We are standing on the shore
In the smoke, in the starlight
On the edge of a human sea
And the tide is in
I am bright as the sun
You are high as a kite
We are daughters, sons
Brothers and sisters tonight
At Coachella, Coachella
I'm a warm bleeding heart
You're a generous soul
And I love you though
I'd never met you before
To Coachella, Coachella
