The Book of Samahel was dictated by more than sixty Angels, appearing in what these Angels called "glorified bodies," to four teenagers called José Antonio, Luis Miguel, Paqui and José, between 1987 and 1989, in Paiporta (Valencia, Spain). What a "glorified body" actually means is uncertain; while some claim these Angels did appear in physical bodies, others claim it meant a "transfiguration" through which the dictations were actually channelled. The four teenagers who received the dictations haven't clarified the controversy.
