Flaming Swords were supernatural weapons sometimes wielded by angels.
The Mad Gardener who guarded the Conservatory of the Strange and Wonderful House — by all appearances a version of the Garden of Eden — wielded a flaming sword, although, under his glamour as a wizened old man, it appeared as a machete. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: Back to the Garden)
Aziraphale once had a flaming sword with which he was supposed to defend the Eastern Gate of Eden, but gave it away. In one universe, he rather faced this when faced with the Hounds of Tindalos; Jenny Cornelius lent him what she described as her “own” Flaming Sword, actually a lightsaber, which worked well enough for their purpose but rather confused the angel, who quibbled with the characterisation of it as a Flaming Sword as he understood the term even if it literally fit the description.
