Aziel
According to Enochian lore, Aziel (“whom

God consoles”) is one of the twenty-eight demonic rulers of the lunar mansions. He presides
over the mansion Sadalabra (“butterfly”) and is

from doing what they need to be doing (see
ENOCHIAN RULERS OF THE LUNAR MANSIONS).

Azkeel
Variations: Ezeqeel
In the Book of Enoch, Azkeel, a FALLEN

Azza
Variations: AZAZEL, AZAZYEL, Samyaza,
Semhaza, Semyaza, Shemhaza, Shemiaza, Uzza
In Enochian lore, the Book of Enoch tells the
story of when Enoch was elevated from a mortal
to an angelic being named Metatron and was
given command of one of the two groups of Angels of Justice. Azza (“the strong one”) is the

angel who commanded the other group,
protested the promotion, and was cast out of
heaven for it. Now, as a FALLEN ANGEL, Azza is
in a state of perpetually falling; one of his eyes is
sealed shut while the other was left open so that
he may see his plight and suffer all the more for
it.
Some sources say that Azza was born of the
union between the daughter of Lamech,
NAAMAH, and the demon Azazel.

Azzael
Variations: Azael (“whom God strengthens”),
AZAZEL
In Enochian lore, in the Book of Enoch, Azzael
(“God strengthens”) is one of the FALLEN ANGELS who swore allegiance to SAMIAZA, rebelled
against God, took a human wife, and fathered
the NEPHILIM. Additionally, he taught the construction of jewelry; the use of cosmetics and
dyes; a type of magic that would allow the moon,
stars, and sun to move closer to the earth where
they can be better worshipped; the science of
metallurgy and minerals; and untold secrets of a
sexual nature.
Through the power of the ring owned by King
Solomon (see SPIRITS OF SOLOMON), Azzael was
forced to reveal to the king the “heavenly mysteries.” Azzael is portrayed as a scapegoat in the

King James Version of the Bible since it was written that the Fallen Angels removed sin from the
people under his protection and gave that sin to
the Devil.
Azzael and Uzza are noted for having pierced
noses; this was no doubt culturally significant.
He and the Fallen Angel AZZA are chained with
iron shackles to a mountain so remote that no
bird can find it. The spot where they are chained
is veiled in complete darkness.

SERVITORS OF BARMIEL (see BARMIEL).
