Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·The Watchers
A watcher is a type of biblical angel. It shows up in both plural & singular forms in the Book of Daniel. This is where reference is made to the holiness of the beings. The Book of Enoch (2nd-1st century BC) refer to both good & bad Watchers, with a mani focus on the rebellious ones.
In Daniel 4:13, 17, & 23, there’s 3 references to the class of “watcher, holy ones.” The term was intro’ed by Nebuchaddnezzar who said he saw ” a watcher, a holy cone come down from Heaven.” He described how in his dream the watcher said that Nebuchdnezzzar will eat grass & be crazy. This punishment is “by the decree of the watchers, the demand by the word of the holy ones…” “that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men.”
The 1st Book of Enoch devotes a lot of attention to the fall of the Watchers. The 2nd Book of Enoch addresses the Watchers who are in the 5th Heaven where the fall took place. The 3rd Book of Enoch gives attention to the unfallen watchers.
In the Book of Enoch, the Watchers are angels sent to Earth to watch over the humans. They soon begin to lust for/after human women, & at the prodding of their leader, Samyaza, defect to illicitly instruct mankind & have kids with them, arriving at Mount Hermon. The offspring of these unions are the Nephilim savage giants who pillage the earth & endanger humanity.
Samyaza & his associates further taught their human “charges” arts & tech such as weaponry, cosmetics, mirrors, sorcery, & other techniques that would otherwise be discovered gradually over time by humans, not foisted upon them all at once.
Eventually, God allows a Great Flood to rid the earth of the Nephilim. But 1st sends the archangel Uriel to warn Noah so as not to completely destroy the human race. The watchers are bound “in the valley of the Earth” until Judgment Day (Jude 1:6). This is where some theories pop up. Like they’re in the Marianus Trench or in the depths of the Grand Canyon or in a mountain base.
The Book of Enoch also lists the leaders of the 200 fallen angels who married & consummated unnatural unions with human women, & who taught forbidden knowledge. Some are listed in the Book of Raziel (Sefer Raziel Hamalakh), the Zohar, & Jubilees. Here’s a short list of them:
- Araqiel: Taught humans the signs of the earth (geomancy). However, in the Sibylline Oracles, Araqiel is referred to not as a fallen angel (or watcher) but as 1 of the 5 angels who lead the souls of humans to judgment.
- Armaros: In I Enoch, taught humanity the resolving of enchantments.
- Azazel: Taught humans to make knives, swords, shields, & how to devise ornaments & cosmetics, metallurgy (specifically in the context of war)
- Gadreel: Taught the art of cosmetics (camouflage), the use of weapons & killing blows (martial arts & weaponry).
- Baraqel: Taught the signs of the stars (astrology)
- Chazaqiel: Taught humans the signs of the clouds (meteorology)
- Kokabiel: In the Book of Raziel, he’s a high-ranking, holy angel. In I Enoch, he’s a fallen watcher, resident of Hell, & commands 365,000 surrogate spirits to do his bidding.
- Penemue: Taught mankind the art of writing with ink & paper, & taught the kids of men the bitter & the sweet & the secrets of wisdom.
- Sariel: Taught mankind about the courses of the moon.
- Samyaza: 1 of the leaders of the fall from Heaven in Vocabulaire de l’Angelolgie.
- Shamsiel: Once a guardian of Eden as stated in the Zohar, served as 1 of the 2 chief aides to the archangel Uriel, when Uriel bore his standard into battle, & is the head of 365 legions of angels & also crowns prayers, accompanying them into the 5th Heaven. In Jubilees, he’s referred to as 1 of the Watchers. He’s a fallen angel who teaches the signs of the sun.
- Yeqon/Jeqon: He was the ringleader who 1st tempted the other Watchers into having adult spicy naked time with humans. His accomplices were: Asbeel, Gadreel, Penemue, & Kasdaye, who were all identified as individual “Satans.”
The Jewish pseudepigraphon 2nd Book of Enoch (Slavonic Enoch) referred to the Grigori. They’re the same as the Watchers in 1st Enoch. Chapter 18 presents the Grigori as countless soldiers with human appearance.
They’re located in the 5th Heaven. They’re identified as “the Grigori, who with their prince Satanail (Yes, you are reading that correctly) rejects the Lord of light.” One version of 2 Enoch adds that their number was/is 200 myriads (2 million).
Chapter 29, referring to the 2nd day of creation, before the creation of human beings, says that “One from out the order of angels” or “one of the ranks of the archangels” “conceived an impossible thought, to place his throne higher than the clouds above the earth, that he might become equal in rank to the Lord’s power. And the Lord threw him out from the height with his angels, & he was flying in the air continuously above the bottomless.”
The Mercer Dictionary of the Bible makes a distinction between the Grigori & the fallen angels by stating that in the 5th Heaven, Enoch sees “the giants whose brothers were the fallen angels.”
The longer recension of 2 Enoch 18:3 identifies the prisoners of the 2nd Heaven as the angels of Satanail.
First Corinthians 11:10, according to early Church Father Tertullian, refers to the Watchers. He taught that the lust of the Watchers was the reason for St. Paul’s directive to Christian women to wear a head covering. Tertullian referenced the case of a woman who was touched on the neck by an angel “who found her to be a temptation.”
According to Philo of Byblos, Sanchuniathon mentioned “some living beings who had no perception, out of whom intelligent beings came into existence, & they were called Zophasemin (In Hebrew: “Watchers of Heaven”). And they were formed like the shape of an egg.”
In the 1999 movie Dogma, the character Bartleby (played by Ben Affleck) is mentioned to have formerly been a Watcher. In the TV show Supernatural (season 10), the Grigori with 1 Tamiel (under the name “Peter Holloway”) appears as the main enemy of the episode. At 1 point, a picture is shown that is implied to be a painting of a Grigori. In the original Dragon’s Dogma, the dragon is called Grigori.
In the 1998 movie City of Angels (this is 1 of our founders’ favorite movies), Nicolas Cage plays a watcher angel who falls in love with a human woman (played by Meg Ryan).

A nicely carved Archangel Michael slaying a dragon, found in the Thistle Chapel of St Giles, Edinburgh.
In geomancy, pinning the dragon is a metaphor for the action of fixing the meandering telluric currents in place when constructing a sacred site.#Geomancy #DragonSlaying #EarthEnergies #ArchangelMichael #StGilesCathedral #Edinburgh

Here's a beta test of a Geomancy board where I overthought things and made it more complicated than it needed to be. (Imagine that.)
See alt-text for details.
Newer versions will be slightly different, with the throwing sticks on either side instead of both on one side.
I'll make a test run of that idea soon. This one was sold last year, but I have a few more prints.

"Where there is darkness, the saving powers also rise" (Hölderlin), just when it all feels too bleak to contemplate, an opportunity arises, out of your natural openness and willingness to receive what life has to offer.
Today's geomantic figure Laetitia, shows someone who has climbed the mountain, put in the effort - now is the time to stop and admire the view, to look back at how far you've come, retreating inwardly from the world to purify yourself.

So far, uncovered a lost "tablet" but not the item they've lost. -

"Thinking begins in what may fairly enough be called a forked-road situation, a situation which is ambiguous, which presents a dilemma, which proposes alternatives. In the suspense of uncertainty, we metaphorically climb a tree; we try to find some standpoint from which we may survey additional facts and, getting a more commanding view of the situation, may decide how the facts stand related to one another." (John Dewey/1910)

Cauda Draconis, an ability to let go of your "shadow", the darker ♂ emotions that are prompting a martial response to circumstances.

27/12/2024:
Today it definitely feels like you're up against it.
There's a task to complete and in your mind it has no prospect of resolution or profit.
Lost in a dark sea of deep thought you can find no way to break the shackles you find yourself in.
Some out of the box thinking is required here."To live outside the law you must be honest" (Bob Dylan)
-
Life has gone through changes, it's true but these haven't been swift enough for you, always trying to organise revolution without taking the time to adjust to each new situation.
Has change been traumatic for you in the past, were there situations where you didn't feel like you were in control?
Maybe it's time to look back on these events and you'll come to realise - actually you were coping, you just didn't realise it because it came so easily to you.
#geomancy -
Disruption comes to its conclusion.
There's an emotional intensity about you at the moment, dark gloomy energies are manifest within and there is a danger that they might turn on you unless they are redirected.
It's therefore a time to overcome the repetition of your past emotional reactions when dealing with others.
Now is a time to recognise that they have emotional issues also and to focus on what you have been avoiding.
#geomancy #astrology -
Today is signified by a bringing together of opposites.
There's an impetus to overcome the status quo - so use your intuition and reflective abilities to assess if you are making the most of your powers, look to the past for answers and align this with where you are now.
There will be conflicts but this will bring out the best in you especially in regards to goals and property.
Paradoxically this will be a fleeting opportunity to act but it will bring about long term gain.
#geomancy -
So right now things feel fairly bleak, in the past it's as if you've been waiting around for direction with current circumstances stale and not moving forward.
Creativity was being curtailed by overthinking everything and all that spontaniety had been hindered by intellectualising the processes involved.Today however there's a different energy in the air, your addiction to precision and detail is actually going to be useful instead of holding you back.
#geomancy -
-
At this point in time, you require the courage of your convictions when putting forward your ideas. Be self confident to trust your own observations and feelings and not be persuaded by the opinions of others who have seen something different. Stick to your point of view and to the truth you have discovered for yourself as "the eternal student" within you will testify to.
"Where there is darkness, the saving powers also rise" (Hölderlin)
#geomancy -
Everything is in a state of flux, constantly changing.
In the past and lately you've felt like you're in a rut, even though there's been some relief of late - things haven't been progressing as quickly as you'd wished.
Try to go with the flow and not to block the normal ebb and flow of events.
Prepare for the emotional response this situation incurs, trust that there is a purpose to all of this and all things will soon come to pass.
#tarot #geomancy #dowsing -
Today is a rare and temporary opportunity to influence your future and gain rewards from past efforts.
Paradoxically it's time to relinquish the old in order to make way for future growth and to set the stage for rebuilding what has been lost (through acceptance of what no longer serves you).
Collaboration is also important today, looking after the wellbeing of another (human or animal!) will bring psychological reward.
A new and unfamiliar way of making money presents itself
