Ezekeel
Variations: AZKEEL, Ezekiel (God will
strengthen”), Ezeqeel, Ezequiel, Ezequeel
(“strength of God”), NEQAEL
Ezekeel (“strength of God”) is, according to
Enochian lore, one of the CHIEF OF TENS (see
GRIGORI) who swore allegiance to SAMIAZA, rebelled against God, took a human woman as his
wife, and fathered the NEPHILIM. This FALLEN
ANGEL went on to teach mankind how to foretell
the future by the patterns of the clouds, but this
may possibly be an attempt to explain early meteorology.

Fallen Angels
Variations: GRIGORI, WATCHERS

A fallen angel is an angel who has fallen out
of the grace of God for having committed a sin
or transgression; in some instances, the condition
of being a fallen angel is temporary. There are
three spheres, or levels, of fallen angels. Each
sphere has three categories under it.
The first sphere consists of the original fallen
angels, those angels who were made by God in
the beginning, before he constructed the Heavens
and Earth. The three subcategories under this
heading are the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and
the Thrones. These angels acted as heavenly
councilors. The second sphere contains the Dominions, the Virtues, and the Powers. These angels acted as heavenly governors. The third and
final sphere contains the Principalities, the
Archangels, and the Angels. Angels in this sphere
acted as heavenly messengers.
In the first heavenly rebellion, it is said that
LUCIFER was the first and most powerful of the
angels ever created. His intelligence and beauty
were unmatched among his peers. Eventually, he
succumbed to the sin of pride as he grew ambitious and self-centered and ultimately declared
himself God’s equal. Gathering like-minded angels to his cause, nearly one third of the heavenly

Fallen Angels
host, a rebellion followed that ended in God’s
victory over LUCIFER and those who followed
him. They were all expelled from Heaven and
sent to live in the lower worlds.
A second rebellion occurred not from a powerplay but rather out of a lust-driven pack
mentality. The GRIGORI, or the WATCHER angels

as they were also called, were supposed to assist
the Archangels in the construction and maintenance of Eden. However, it was these angels who
were the first to fall. These WATCHER angels
came to find that they desired to live among the
humans, even lusting after the women. Afraid to
act on their impulses, it was decided that if they
acted as a group that God would certainly not
punish them all. Making a pact among themselves, they descended from Heaven to reside on
Earth and live among the humans, marrying
human women and having children with them.
They even taught mankind certain skills that
God forbade humans to know, such as astrology,
cosmotology, gemology, sorcery, and weaponsmithing.
Regardless of their reasons for doing so, the
actions of this group of angels were in direct opposition of God’s desire. The worst sin they committed was having children and diluting their
most pure and holy bloodline. As punishment
for their actions, God cursed the rebel angels, exiled them from Heaven, and in some cases, physically punished them. They were made mortal
and demonic. In a final act to clean the world of
their sin, God sent a great flood to cleanse the
land of their half-breed children, the NEPHILIM,
who were by their very nature destructive and
murderous. The Hebrew word for giants is
NEPHILIM, whose root word is “to fall.”
Some sources say that the fallen angels (fallen
because they fell from their state of grace) are
bound to wander the Earth until Judgment Day
and thereafter they will be banished to Hell.
However, very early church teachings claim that
by the practice of virtue the fallen angels, as well
as demons, can return to a state of grace and become an angel again through God’s eternal love

and mercy.
There is no true or complete list of all the
fallen angels, as names have been pulled from
various sources through the millennium. What
follows is a list of two hundred sixty-three angelic
beings collected from various religions and
mythologies that are in a fallen state of grace:
AATXE, ABADDON, ABAROS, ABBADON,
ABEZETHIBOU, ABIGOR, ACAOS, ACHAS, ADIRAEL, ADRAMELECH, AGARES, AGNIEL, AHRIMANES, AKIBEEL, AKIKEL, ALASTOR , ALDE -
