Following up on my own message - I found Michael, Uriel and Gabriel in
the TaNaKh, which I luckily have in both English and Hebrew, so I only
need spelling for Raphael (he's from Tobit, in the Apocrypha, which I
don't have in Hebrew, alas!)
But I'd still love to identify symbols for all 4. My Jewish Lore and
Legend dictionary says Raphael's symbol is the serpent, but doesn't
provide anything similar for the other 3.
Thanks, in advance!

someone is asking about angels???? their names will be found on a book
about amulets. I have it but don't remeber its name. also Kabbalah and
the books on it tend to have info.
the names of g-d and of the angels are said to have great spiritual
power.- hope I don't sound too snotty but it might be good to read about
them and know what you are invoking before you invoke it. i will look up
the book's name and get it to you.
as in writing the Torah- it is also important, halacha wise to use kosher
ink and to not make any mistakes in the calligraphy... again thats the
minhog of making the amulets.
naomi who is really not a halcha maven usually

Thanks, Naomi, for your suggestions and comments -
The person I'm making the tallit for wanted the angels because of that
song people sing about them. Seems reasonable to me to have that spirit
attached to a tallit. But then I'm a scientific monist of Spinozist
mystical leanings... And I make amulets, too - Shekinah amulets at this
point. Don't ask me why I like things like amulets, given my belief
system. Maybe because I like symbolism, which figures since I'm a poet
from way before I ever was a visual artist.

Thanks - I'd like to have the information and check it out.

Kosher ink is not likely in this case, sorry. It is a silk piece, and it
will be hand-washable, which kosher ink is almost certainly not. (I also
use laser-printed scrolls to "hold the space" in my mezuzah cases - people
who want kosher scrolls acquire them separately. By me, it's the words
that matter.)
BTW - slightly-related halkhic curiosity question. Do frum folk wear only
kosher leather shoes?

Nope. The nonfood-ingredient-from-a-kosher-animal rule only applies
to certain ritual objects (like tefillin and sacred-scroll parchment
and... well, that's all I can think of at the moment). At least, if
that restriction did exist, I suspect I would have read about it or
been told about it by now. (I wouldn't be surprised if some haredi
sect or some individual Jews did this as a mark of stringency way
above and beyond the law, but I've never heard of anyone doing it.)
