Beings · Enoch literature; LeviticusAzazelA strange word in an ancient ritual tells priests to send one goat into the wilderness "for Azazel," and the text never says who that is. Centuries later the Enoch writers answered: a fallen Watcher who taught swords, metalwork and makeup, locked in a named desert prison. Did they find a being, or invent one?Beings · Enoch literatureSemjaza (Shemihazah)Before two hundred angels came down to take human wives, their leader got cold feet. He feared he alone would pay for the sin, so the others swore an oath to bind themselves together. One medieval retelling says he later hung himself upside down between heaven and earth, and still hangs there. This is the page about him.Beings · Enoch literatureThe Watchers (Grigori)The story says some angels who never sleep came down to a real mountain summit, picked up human wives, and taught people metalworking, spells and astronomy. Their leaders are named, each in charge of ten others. The same word shows up in the Book of Daniel as a heavenly council. So who exactly were the Watchers?
