Chariel

97
In Judaic mysticism, Chaigidel (“Confusion of
the Power of God”) is named as one of the twelve
Qliphoth, the beings that are the cause of all evil
and suffering in the world who appear as empty
shells or husks or as black giants with snakes entwined around them.
It is said in the Clavicula Salomonis that
Chaigidel was cast down from Heaven after Adam
and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge. His personal adversaries are the Auphanim, the spirits of
Wisdom. When you feel as if you are being attacked by him, it is advised to meditate upon a
circle that is filled with grey and white dots.
Christian demonology places Chaigidel under
the command of BEELZEBUB (see SERVITORS OF
BEELZEBUB).
