having levels to them. Azazil (“strong mountain”
or “strongest of mountains”) spent a thousand
years worshipping God on each level, starting at
the lowest in Hell and ascending upwards. On
each level he was given a new angelic name. He
was named Azazil upon reaching the fifth level
of Heaven. He was so thorough in his devotions
it was said that in Heaven not an area the size of
a man’s hand wasn’t prayed upon by him. When
God commanded that he worship at Adam, Azazil
asked why a “son of fire should bow before a son
of clay?” God cast him out of Heaven and changed
his name to EBLIS, which means “despair.” For
three thousand years he waited at the Gates of
Paradise for an opportunity to do harm to Adam
and Eve; he has a deep hatred for them still.
Azazil, in Zoroastrian demonology, is named
as being the lord of the DJINN and is described
as once having had a pair of wings made of emerald. A powerful sorcerer, he has dominion over
the zodiacal sign of Taurus.

Azazyel
Variations: Azazyeel, AZZA, SATAN

In the Enochian lore, the Book of Enoch tells
us that Azazyel was one of the FALLEN ANGELS
who swore allegiance to SAMIAZA, rebelled
against God, took a human as his wife, and fathered the NEPHILIM. Additionally, he taught
man how to make and use armor, dyes, jewelry,
knives, make-up, shields, and swords and is
thereby particularly responsible for the corruption
of mankind.
Azazyel was deemed to be the ringleader of
the angels who rebelled, and his punishment was
the greatest. The Lord ordered the angel Raphael
(“healing one of God”) to capture Azazyel, tie
him up, take him to a place of darkness in the
desert, make a hole and throw him in it face
down, hurl upon him sharp stones, and to make
sure he stayed there, denied of light, until the
end of days, when he would finally be destroyed
by fire. Those who followed Azazyel were also
greatly punished. They were bound and buried
as Azazyel was for seventy generations or until
the end of days, whichever came first. Additionally, the children that the FALLEN ANGELS fathered were all slain.
The demon of corruption, fornication, and immorality, Azazyel planned on corrupting the
earth.

Azemo

In Enochian lore, Azemo is one of the FALLEN
ANGELS who swore allegiance to SAMIAZA, rebelled against God, took a human as his wife,
and fathered the NEPHILIM. In Christian demonology Azemo is one of the nocturnal SERVITORS OF CAMUEL (see CAMUEL). When summoned, he appears in a beautiful form and is very
courteous to his summoner.

In Iranian, Vedic, and Zoroastrian mythology,
Azhi-Dahak (“fiendish snake”) is a snakelike
storm demon that has three heads and six eyes.
In Shah Namah, he is described as a man with
two snakes that grew up out of his shoulders from
where AHRIMAN kissed him. He has been described as being a vested sovereign who looks like
a dragon or snakelike creature. In some descriptions, he is described as having as many as three
heads and six eyes. He is known to harm people
and steal cattle. Although he is a storm demon,
he is also part human (see CAMBION). His personal adversary is AHI.
Azhi-Dahak was captured by the warrior
Thraetaona and was then placed in a prison on
the top of Dermawend Mountain. At the time
