The Watchers: Who Are They? - Angels Of Jewish Lore (Part 4): Angelology

The Watchers. Who are they? They are a high order of angels also called the Grigori. Graceful and magnificent in splendor, taller than giants. They do not sleep. They are the sons of the Most High, sent by him to instruct the children of men. But when they came to earth and saw the beautiful daughters of men, they desired them for themselves. Being shapeshifters, they assumed the forms of men and began cohabiting with these mortal women, fathering a race of half-angel half-human hybrids called the Nephilim, the giants. And thus, they fell from grace and in the eyes of the Lord. In the Book of Enoch however, the Watchers did not fall because they cohabited with mortal women, but because they failed to show up in time for the tasks assigned to them. These Watchers who failed in their tasks are said to be seven in number. Kabbalistic lore on the other hand, say contrary to Enoch, that the Watchers sent by God to tutor men were more than seven, for they were quite many. They say not all the Watchers descended from grace, for there are good and evil Watchers, Watchers who stayed holy and true to their purpose and Watchers who deviated. The chiefs among the good Watchers are Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Zerachiel, and Ramel. While the chiefs of the Watchers who became deviants include Salamiel, Azazel, Samyaza, Shamshiel, Kokobel, Sariel, and Satanel, who is popularly known as Samael. The good Watchers still dwell in the fifth and higher heavens, while the fallen Watchers dwell in the third heaven, some in the second heaven, and some in the first. This is contrary to what most believe, that all fallen angels reside in hell, which is situated under the earth, in a dark gloomy underworld of stench and suffering. But in the Enoch 2, Testament of the Levi, as well as many apocryphal texts, the first three heavens, Shemayim, Rakhia, and Sheachim, are home to the fallen angels, depending on the elements they are made of. In the northern regions of the third heaven, there is a realm of fire, which one might equate to hell, and there do the fallen angels of the element of fire dwell. From this, one can deduce that the fallen ones of the element of water dwell in the second heaven, Rakhia, which is composed of water, and the fallen ones of the element of air dwell in the first heaven, Shemayim, which is composed of the clouds, and fallen ones of the earth dwell on the earth and under the earth. Nevertheless, be them holy or fallen, be them good or evil or in between, the Watchers indeed taught humans valuable skills, which, although might evolve from generation to generation, will serve them till the end of their days. Azazel taught men how to make knives, swords, and shields. He taught them to make ornaments and coloring tinctures for the beautification of women. Samyaza taught enchantments and root cuttings, and Amoros taught the resolving of enchantments. Arakel taught the science of the earth, and Ezekiel taught the knowledge of clouds. Gadriel introduced other weapons of war, and Kokobel taught the science of the constellations. Sariel taught the course of the moon, and Penemu instructed mankind in writing. And so, many sinned from eternity to eternity, and until this day. For man was not created for such a purpose, so says Enoch. Penemu also taught children the bitter and sweet of wisdom, the secrets of wisdom. Barakajal taught astrology, and Shamshil taught the signs of the sun.
