took a vow to one another that they all act upon
their desires. Each of the Chief of Tens and the
GRIGORI under them, two hundred in all, then
chose for themselves a wife from which the race
known as the NEPHILIM were born. Some of the
Chief of Tens then went on to share with
mankind knowledge that God had forbidden
them to share, such as astrology, astrometry, geology, herbology, how to counter magical spells,
magical incantations, and the art of weapon making, to name but a few. When God discovered
their treachery, He punished them all, albeit
some more than others. The Lord was outraged
that his angels had defiled their bodies with humans but His true anger lay in the fact that they
had created, in His eyes, unclean offspring.
There are many sources that list the names of
the GRIGORI, but the Book of Enoch only names
the twenty Chief of Tens. Other names mentioned as being one of the two hundred GRIGORI
are: AGNIEL, ANMAEL, Araqiel, Araquiel, ARAZIEL, ASBEEL, Azael (“whom God strengthens”),
AZAZEL, AZAZYEL, AZIEL (“whom God consoles”), Baraqel, Chazaqiel, EXAEL, Gadreel,
Kakabel, KASADYA, Kashdejan, PENEMUE, Penemuel, Pharmoros, SAMIEL, SATANAIL, Shamsiel,
TALMAIEL, URIEL, and USIEL (see also FALLEN
ANGELS).

Chiton

Variations: SEIKTHA
In Burmese demonology there is a type of
demon known as a chiton that lives in groves,
shrines, and trees. On occasion, one of these
demons has been known to take on the role of
village guardian or teacher. A shrine that has been
made to it must be well maintained and supplied
with drinks and food or it will abandon the village. These cults had become so widespread that
at one time the chiton almost achieved godhead.

The Theurgia Goetia, the second book of the

Chordeva
Variations: Chordewa, Cordewa
From the hill tribe of the Oraon people in
Bengal, India, comes the vampiric demon or
witch known as chordeva (“thief-demon”). It
shape-shifts its soul into the form of a cat that
then goes out and preys upon the sick by stealing
their food and poisoning whatever small morsels
it leaves behind. It is for this reason that all cats
are kept away from a sick person even though the
demon can be recognized for what it is by a very
specific type of mewing sound it makes. While
utilizing this form, the chordeva can kill a person
simply by licking their lips.
Even though the chordeva has the ability to
shape-shift into a werecat, it is still only as strong
as the average person; however, while in this form
it has the ability to place a person into a trance
by making direct eye contact with them. It is
completely indestructible while in its werecat
form.

The chordeva is repelled by water of any kind,
as well as by hawthorn. Any means that would
kill a normal cat will also kill the demon when it
is in its cat form. Any damage that is done to the
cat form will also instantly appear on the
chordeva’s human body. When the demon is in
its human guise, an iron or wooden stake driven
through its heart will kill it, as will prolonged exposure to sunlight.
