Adimiron is one of the twelve princes of the
Qliphoth and is under the service of Uriens (see

[his] wake.” He lives in the tunnel of Uriens.

Adirael

The Book of Enoch names Adirael (“Magnificence of God”) as one of the FALLEN ANGELS
who swore allegiance to SAMIAZA and rebelled
against God. He lusted after and took a human
wife against God’s will, and went on to father the
NEPHILIM. Other sources say that Adirael, a tall
and powerful cherub, is one of the ANGELS OF
PUNISHMENT, an Angel of Judgment who has
dominion over Judgment Day, and one of the
forty-nine SERVITORS OF BEELZEBUB (see
BEELZEBUB).

Adityas
Variations: The Twelve Sovereign Principles
Born the son of Kashyapa and Aditi, the
mother of all gods, Adityas (“Progeny of Aditi”)
is one of a cadre of sun gods. Originally there
were only seven of them, but later their ranks
were expanded to twelve to correspond to the
months of the year. Adityas falls under the domain of the Devas, a generic Hindu term for divine beings. He is represented as the spokes in
the Wheel of Time and is symbolic for the laws
that rule the human society and the universe.

Dwelling in the sky, these sovereign principles
move about in pairs of even numbers and protect
against diseases.
