Azriel: The Wrathful Power of God

Azriel: The Wrathful Power of God

Azriel is known as the “angelic prince of the wrathful palace,” or the “prince of the wrathful emanation of the
Holy Shekinah,” and corresponds with Strict Judgment, which is to say that Azriel is a chief archangel of
destruction; hence, Azriel is called the “angel of death.” This angel of God has another emanation, however,
Mahniel, which means “mighty camp,” and in this form he/she receives prayers for deliverance and
redemption, and uplifts them to the Throne of Glory; and so when it is the will of Ha-Shem, and the divine
authority is given, Mahniel takes action to deliver, joined in the divine action by the many hosts that are with
him.

This archangel presides over the angelic hosts of the wrathful palace, and spirits that are oath-bound wrathful
guardians, along with Abaddon, and Azriel joined by seven other archangels among whom he-she is the chief
angel: Kushiel (rigid one of God), Lahatiel (flaming one of God) Shoftiel (judge of God), Makatiel (plague of
God), Hutriel (rod of God), Pusiel (fire of God) and Rogziel (wrath of God, also known as the “ice of God”
or “hail of God”). These are the seven archangelic princes that preside over the spiritual powers of the seven
hells, but each has a corresponding station in the seven heavens, and therefore along with a wrathful
emanation they also have a peaceful and blissful emanation. They are great powers of God that correspond
with Din-Judgment, and as you might imagine there are invocations taught in the oral tradition for each of
them and the range of their divine actions is vast.

There are many different reasons why Azriel or the wrathful palace might be invoked. Perhaps the most
obvious is for the sake of the defense of the Continuum and Community, or the faithful and elect, from great
evil, or great dark and hostile forces, “fighting fire with fire,” in a manner of speaking. Likewise, in the Way
of Transformation the wrathful palace is invoked for the transformation of all forms of negativity, but most
especially to overcome fear, anger and hatred, the seeds of the greatest darkness and evil, or sorrow and
suffering. Azriel, though, as the Lord’s angel of death has deep knowledge of the process of dying and death,
and of souls in the afterlife, and all of the afterlife states, and so is invoked for knowledge of these mysteries.
Azriel also has knowledge of the “sending of souls,” and is invoked in the “rite of sending souls,” the inner
form of the Feast of St. Lazarus, or the inner and secret empowerment of initiates in the Order of St. Lazarus.

Azriel holds more knowledge of mysteries than this, however, for as we know the ascension of souls through
the heavens is a process of radical transformations, and in the process of the enlightenment of the soul there is
a need for multiple experiences of spiritual, or mystical death, and rebirth. Azriel is invoked for the sake of

Sophian.org • Azriel: The Wrathful Power of God https://www.sophian.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2651&view=print

these radical transformations and rebirths in the Way. As we know, joined with this is the knowledge of the
development of consciousness beyond the body, and the generation of the presence of awareness throughout
all transitions in consciousness and states of consciousness; hence, the wisdom of the transference of
consciousness. Azriel is among the archangels that hold this wisdom, along with Ratziel, Tzafkiel, Metatron
and Sandalfon.

Here we can share an open secret. The ultimate knowledge of “death” is the complete cessation of ignorance,
the cause of all sorrow and suffering, or sin and death. In this we may recall a teaching from the Gospel of St.
Philip, that those who think that they must die before they are resurrected are mistaken, “for first you must be
resurrected, and then you can die” – or experience perfect repose, the complete cessation of ignorance (true
enlightenment and liberation). Azriel holds this wisdom that leads to perfect repose, or conscious
reintegration with the source of our being, the True Light.

“Death” is not death to a true Initiate in Christ, and so the “angel of death” is not the angel of death; but
rather is the angel of perpetual life, eternal life, the realization of bornless being (Messiah Melchizedek)!

Azriel is truly a great power of God, not only in Judgment, but in Mercy and Compassion, and along with the
wrathful emanation of Azriel, so there are the peaceful and blissful emanations that are very holy and
glorious, and most beautiful to gaze upon.

Here it is given that we may speak another open secret. Azriel is the appearance of the angel of death to the
innocent and to the righteous, while Samael is the appearance of the angel of death to the unrighteous and
wicked.

The appearance of the Holy Mother and the Messiah in the wrathful palace is as Kali Imma and Kali
Shemesh (the Black Madonna and Child), and as such Azriel is called the “angel of Kali Imma,” having
knowledge of her mysteries, as well as knowledge of the mysteries of Kali Shemesh, the emanation of the
Messiah in his ministry within the hell realms and fierce spirit realms. As we know, beings in hell are
fascinated by magical power, and so Kali Shemesh appears to them with great wonderworking power while
preaching the Gospel. On account of this Azriel is associated with knowledge of radical wonderworking in
Crazy Wisdom that liberates souls from great bondage.

The full teachings and invocations of Azriel and the wrathful palace are inner and secret, and they are shared
in the Continuum with adept initiates, and only with those who have accomplished the generation of the
Sacred Heart, and have a passionate desire for the enlightenment and liberation of all living spirits and souls.
There are teachings elsewhere in the forums that give teachings and practice of Kali Imma, as well as Lilatu
(or Kali Kallah), and they hint at the invocation of the wrathful palace. These are the teachings of the
wrathful palace that can be openly shared.

Messiah Shalom!

The Seven Angels of Wrath

The Seven Angels of Wrath

The seven angels of wrath that appear with Azriel and Abaddon in the wrathful palace all have their root in
Gevurah-Severity and the sixth heaven, Makom, and yet each holds a station as a guardian in one of the
seven heavens, corresponding with the hell realm over which he/she presides. As we know, the sixth heaven

Sophian.org • Azriel: The Wrathful Power of God https://www.sophian.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2651&view=print

is said to contain all of the “plagues, judgments and wraths of God,” all powers of destruction, and the
experience of souls entering into this heaven is a great vision of the End-Of-Days, the universe or great
cosmic cycle passing into destruction. If and when this is received without attachment and aversion, and a
soul remains conscious, cleaving to the Messiah and Yahweh, so it is through this that soul may enter the
seventh heaven, Arabot, which corresponds with luminous realms of formless bliss, or great peace and joy. In
this we may understand Azriel, Abaddon, and these seven, joined by Lilith, the elder and younger, as powers
of God liberating from self-grasping and self-will, and attachment and aversion; if and when a soul is free
from these, so all of these angels of God manifest as very holy and blissful divine powers.

Kushiel: “Rigid One of God”

This archangel presides over the first pit of hell, and so is a great guardian of the first heaven, Tibel-Vilon,
and so holds the knowledge of these. Having knowledge of the first heaven, the paradise of earth, Kushiel
holds knowledge of how souls are able to ascend into the second heaven, and is an angelic presence that may
help transport the souls of the righteous in their ascent.

Joined with this Kushiel holds knowledge of great manifesting power, multiplication, or the generation of
abundance, and materialization, and teaches the wonderworking art of the evocation of spirits to visible
appearance. He/she also holds great knowledge of the “Black Earth” (primordial earth) and the elemental
force of earth.

These seven angels of wrath are said to have accompanied Archangel Gavriel in the destruction of Sodom
and Gomorrah, and as an example of the power of this archangel in wrathful emanation, it is said in the
Christian Kabbalah that when Lot’s wife disobeyed the command of the Lord not to look back, and therefore
was turned into a pillar of salt, it was Kushiel who transformed her body into salt.

Lahatiel: “Flaming One of God”

This archangel presides over the second pit of hell, and so is a great guardian of the second heaven, Rakiya,
and therefore has knowledge of these. As you may recall from teachings on the seven heavens, there is a
great barrier of fire through which souls must pass in order to ascend into the third heaven, and Lahatiel holds
the knowledge of how souls are able to cross through it and serves as a guide to righteous soul in their
crossing.

Lahatiel also holds knowledge of radical transformations, generations and movements of great force or
power, and insights or illuminations concerning hidden or secret things in the wonderworking art, and
likewise knowledge of creative and destructive fire, and the elemental force of fire.

This is an angelic presence that lashes out with flaming fire of incredible fury and force in wrathful
manifestation.

Shoftiel: “Judge of God”

This archangel presides over the third pit of hell, and so is a great guardian of the third heaven, Shehakim, in
which the spiritual light of the Messiah is revealed and known in the outer, astral heavens. This holy angel of
God holds the knowledge of this pit of hell and this heaven, and knows the way into the fourth heaven, and
may serve as a guide to the righteous ones who are worthy of this ascent.

Shoftiel holds great knowledge of the invoking, binding, and releasing of spirits, and of the uplifting and
casting down of spirits and souls, and likewise has knowledge of sciences and ceremony in the
wonderworking arts. Joined with this he/she is also an angel of God who has knowledge of the Great Dragon,

Sophian.org • Azriel: The Wrathful Power of God https://www.sophian.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2651&view=print

its attributes and powers, and how it is ridden.

Makatiel: “Plague of God”

This is the archangel that presides over the fourth pit of hell, and so is a great guardian in the fourth heaven,
Zebul; thus this holy angel of God holds knowledge of these, and how souls ascend into the spiritual heavens
beyond the outer, astral heavens.

Makatiel holds knowledge of blessing and cursing, miraculous healings, veiling or cloaking in the inner
dimensions, invisibility or vanishing, “riding the winds,” and such in the wonderworking art; and likewise,
he/she has knowledge of winds and the elemental force of air.

Hurtiel: “Rod of God”

This is the archangel who presides over the fifth pit of hell, and so is a great guardian of the fifth heaven,
Ma’on, bearing the knowledge of these, and how souls ascend into the sixth heaven and beyond.

This great angel of God holds special knowledge and power of the shattering of klippot and uplifting of
sparks, and holds knowledge of the invocation and movements of great celestial forces, as well as “alien
powers.”

Pusiel: “Fire of God”

This archangel presides over the sixth pit of hell, and so presides over the sixth heaven, Makom, and
therefore holds the knowledge of these. It is said that the power of all seven of these archangels is in Pusiel,
and that he/she is the chief among them under Azriel and Abaddon.

The Holy Fire of this great angel is primordial and supernal, and is a “fire consuming fire” that makes all
“like unto itself.” Pusiel holds knowledge of radical shifts in the Great Matrix of Spiritual Forces through the
power of The Name, and along with Shoftiel, he/she is among the angels of God having knowledge of the
Great Dragon.

Rogziel: “Wrath of God”

This archangel presides over the deepest pit of hell, the seventh pit associated with “snow,” “hail,” and “ice,”
and so is a great guardian of the seventh heaven; thus he/she bears the knowledge of this hell and this heaven.
Rogziel is a holy angelic presence who is near unto the Soul of the Messiah, for he/she holds the knowledge
of how the souls of the spiritual elect ascend into the eighth heaven, the true kingdom of heaven – the
Supernal Abode; and this is an angel of God known to take souls up into this heaven of heavens through
divine rapture.

This angel also known, however, for movements of the swift and utter destruction of dark archons, fallen
angels, and great demons; hence, the full force and fury of the wrath of God.

Rogziel holds the knowledge of great wonders, and the invocations of great cosmic forces in the
wonderworking art, and is said to hold deep knowledge of Initiation and the Light Transmission; joined with
this, Rogziel holds knowledge of the nine gates of the Great Abyss, and the oath-bound wrathful guardians of
the eleven towers and twenty-two tunnels of the Other Side. This great and holy angel of God is also
associated with knowledge of the upper and lower firmaments, and the elemental force of water.

These are the stations, knowledge, and powers of the seven angels of wrath who are with Azriel and Abaddon

in the wrathful palace of the Shekinah. As perhaps you might intuit, these Great Wrathful Maggidim also
hold the knowledge of the seven Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls, and their angels, in the Apocalypse, and
knowledge of all manner of mysteries and powers of the Apocalypse, and especially Armageddon, the “Final
Conflict.”

This is what it is given that we can share concerning these angels of Elyon, the Most High.

God’s Peace to you!

Hello, my name is Dallas. Honestly, all this is very new to me. I briefly spoke with someone when requesting
to become a member about an odd thing that has been occuring in my life the last 5 years or so. I have never
before even heard of the many Angels and their particular roles, but when I finally did I was quite literally
stunned. When I close my eyes to rest quite often a name will come to mind, the name Azrael or Azriel, I had
no idea it was the name of an Angel. I know it probably means nothing but what intrigues me is the nature of
my daydreams and how very alike they are to this Angel and his disposition, if you will. I've never been a
very "religous" man , more philosophical in nature, but having read many of the topics on these forums, am
becoming more inclined to change that. I would just like to know if maybe there is something more going on
here than im aware of. If it could possibly be more than coincidence. This name has been in my mind and
dreams for a very long time, since I was 21 and returned from Iraq badically. I have always been vigilant
towards those who prey on the innocent, even fellow soldiers, and have been preparing to go to Africa for
sometime and battle the LRA because I believe that is where the evil is greatest in this world so that is where
i should be. Is Azriel being "the Angel of Death" in a sense, a warning that i should not go? That death is
near? I have absolutely no idea and would really like some help understanding all of this. Thank you for your
time. Dallas. Let me also say that I am very ignorant of all this that seems so commonplace to you. You speak
of Angels and such matter of factly and I think it is beautiful. However, "mainstream" Christianity leaves a
very bitter taste in my mouth. You seem very much more open and less judgmental than that. I am curious
why, at age 26 I am just learning of this particular sect of Christianity? Sect is probably the wrong word and I
apologize. My heart is open though, and would very very much love to learn more. Thank you. I hope I dont
come across like an idiot!

Shalom Dallas:

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the whole armour of God, so that you
may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armour of God, so that you may be
able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand therefore, and fasten the
belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. As shoes for your feet put on
whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with
which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:10-17).

Very glad to meet you, even in such an intense context as Tau Malachi's post on these wrathful emanations of
the Holy One.

Pursuing evil anywhere as a vigilante invokes its eye of misfortune. Adonai Yeshua teaches how evil is
defeated very clearly and unambiguously. St. Paul grounds this with his teaching quoted above of a battle not
with flesh and blood, but with all manner of invisible beings-forces opposing divinity in humanity. One
distinguishes then how evil is skillfully matched and mastered first by going within. In this vein, I'd invite
you to consider a recent post in our forum dedicated to the spiritual warrior: the Order of St. Michael.

There is no mastery of an external opponent until mastering the internal opponent. This is evidenced
throughout scripture, quite precisely where Jacob wrestles with the 'angel' of his wicked brother Esau
(Genesis 32). Many other examples abound. The thread through all of them is that the internal battle is lost
when it becomes external. To conquer evil is to conquer evil within one's heart.

A less religious view of evil is simple narcissism and selfishness, the will to receive for oneself divorced
from sharing. From this grows every kind of evil, small and great. Cherishing oneself above others, fixated
on one's image, and everything relating to, and being about, one's experience is what distorts and obstructs an
innate, basic goodness that causes people to sabotage themselves and others. The only way out of this hell is
to turn towards others, to care about others as much, to think about their needs and act accordingly.

In no way do I mean to sound condescending. Behind what I'm sharing here are many, many layers of
intricate metaphysical reasons why this simplicity is so deep. It's the grain of the Gospel itself, which delivers
from evil and oblivion. What religion adds to this simplicity is what human nature adds to every simplicity.
Set religion and religious people aside to hear how one might become immune and invisible to evil. Fighting
the devil within oneself—the shadow cast by the ego—is the only war that can be won.

These basics are necessary, Dallas, before more subtle conversations about wrathful angels can apply. I pray
it's helpful to you. I wish you well in your journey, that you might meet how the Holy One—not us—is a man
of war.

Thank you Elder Gideon for taking the time to respond to me. I believe I understand what you are saying to
me and am going to spend some time contemplating it. My spiritual awareness is only very new and I'm
doing the best I can to embrace it. I will look into the Order of St. Michael as you say. I apologize that I am
very uneducated in all this compared to yourself, but I promise I will do my best to learn. The only question I
would like to ask is why this name of all names is the one I am seeing so clearly? If my question is foolish I
apologize, I am very ignorant of so much it seems. My gratitude. Dallas.

I do not know, dear brother, where the epicenter of evil or darkness is in this world, but I know that there are
many, many places plagued by great evil, great ignorance and injustice, and I know that evil abounds in this
world and that darkness rules the world. As many external conflicts as we might take up, as many wars and
battles that we might wage, they will never drive out evil from this world. What Gideon has shared is true.
The cause of evil, and all of the sorrow and suffering in the world, is ignorance; hence, the play of self-
cherishing, desire and fear (our selfishness). Understanding this, the cessation of the ignorance, the
experience of enlightenment, is the end of evil, and all of the sorrow and suffering it produces.

Likewise, if we wish to end conflict in the world and bring peace, then we must resolve our own inner
conflict between the good inclination and evil inclination.

Understanding this may be integral to acquiring an answer to your question. You see, there are two aspects to
Azriel as the ‘angel of death,’ one corresponding with actual physical death and the other corresponding with
the experience of a spiritual death and rebirth. If and when we experience a full spiritual death and rebirth,
and we progress in our spiritual realization, developing consciousness beyond the body, then death is no
longer death to us; hence, we may undergo a conscious transition and experience the Great Ascension – the
enlightenment and liberation of our mind, consciousness or soul.

Could the arising of this angelic name be an ill omen, a warning of your possible death and destruction if you
continue to follow your present direction in life? Yes, it very well could be. At the same time, though, it can
be a call to a sacred quest, a spiritual journey, and a radical transformation of yourself and your life; hence, a
spiritual death and rebirth. In truth it could be both at the same time, calling you to shift directions in the
circle of life. I suspect this is the case.

Given your background as a war veteran and your aspiration to go on as a mercenary in a fight against evil, or
terrorism, it isn’t surprising that the name of a principle angel of wrath or judgment would arise in your mind.
Perhaps God intends that you learn corresponding spiritual practices, and learn the way of the righteous
warrior, the peaceful warrior – a prayer warrior.

There is one, and only one, Holy War, and that is within oneself. It’s the resolution of the internal conflict
within us; hence, the acquisition of self-knowledge and the unfolding of our self-realization.

Following the path of the desire for the destruction of all evil in the world courts becoming evil itself. This is
one of the reasons why the angel of death is also often given the name of the Adversary or Evil One – Samael
in Judaic teachings, which is akin to ‘Satan’ in Christian teachings.

Given what you have shared about wounds from negative experiences with mainstream Christianity, and
given some of your other experience thus far in life, this angelic name arising may also be a call for active
healing. If understood, Azriel can be a messenger of radical healing, and likewise radical progress in our
spiritual journey.

In the end the most significant part of the meaning of this angelic name arising for you will be your
interpretation of it, how it inspires you and what you choose to do with it – the blessings you choose to draw
from it.

These are some thoughts I can share with you. I wish you well in your journey.

Shalom Aleichem – Peace be upon you!

I thank you so much Tau Malachi and Elder Gideon for taking the time and making me feel like I am not
crazy like others have. I am taking everything to heart and realizing so much from this. I just want to help
people who cannot help themselves, but now I see that it must begin within myself. My greatest adversary is
the evil in myself and I must first conquer it and become one with the Lord before I can truly overcome evil
elsewhere. I feel like I am alone though, like I have no one to teach me how to achieve all this spirituality you
speak of. I understand it but applying it is entirely something else, if that makes sense. Before a few days ago,
I had no idea of the ideals and beliefs that are in all the forums on this site and Ive constantly been reading
them ever since. How is it that having gone to church for many years when I was younger and having many
Christian family members I have never ever heard even a tiny fraction of the truths and fundamentals that
seem so basic to you? I just want to learn and grow and become the best man I can be. I thank you so much
for your time. Dallas

Shalom Dallas:

It encourages me to hear that what Tau Malachi has shared is making sense to you and opening up some of
the many layers of your experience. If churches don't possess greater detail of angels, it's for the divorce quite
early in the beginnings of Christianity from mystical Judaism. This lineage intends to heal and reconcile this
divide, which is why so much is available for free in this forum.

To meet us in real-time is also freely available every Tuesday night 6 pm PST in a chat lead usually by Elder
Sarah. The link to register and participate is the CHAT button in the tool bar on top the main pages of our
website. It's a great community there from many backgrounds and perspectives that will surely assist your
further interest in our Messianc Kabbalah.

As you interact with us over time and are benefitted, we can look into more support for you. I wish you the
heart space of Messiah looking upon the crowds cursing him while he hung on the Cross: "Forgive them
Father, for they know not what they do."

I came across this thread, and found it quite remarkable in so many ways. Ironically, my spiritual journey
proper started on an army base.

I, too, came across Azriel a couple of years ago. His name came to me in meditations, as I was working on
learning more about my soul and connecting to its energetic memory. He came to me as almost a sort of a
"guide" to assist me in accessing whatever was for my highest good. And, every now and then, I would
connect with him. I think angelic connection is soothing, but rather un-emotional, it's hard to describe it in
human terms, angels are not human, after all... In any case, there was nothing bad or ominous about this, and
I didn't really know much about archangels anyway. I think I felt comforted and good about actually getting
to know someone so "high up"

Later on I learned that as a soul, I have probably specialized in being a "guide" to the dying. I'm sure there is
another term for it in your tradition, but in practical terms this means in this life I have always loved funerals,
cemeteries, and on a couple of occasions would suddenly remember someone and start praying for them, only
to find our later that this was the time of their passing. While I steer clear of mediumship experiences, I kind
of feel this aspect (praying for the dying) might be worth cultivating. So to me I felt that is why Azriel
probably came in at that point of the journey...

So, I have schizophenia. Along with this, I get voices and images of faces and form with them. Many are
angelic. Some are not so much. My contemplation is about the lofty Presences of Wrathful emanations. I
have worked with Archangel Azrael for years, even calling on Him to help me get sober, and he delivered me
above and beyond all circumstances! But now I am working with Archangel Samael as the Good Prince in
Heaven, as hearing demonic voices I can only be reassured that these are emanations of the Most High and
Samael knows them, and this comforts me in the One, and this beautiful pale green and diamond blue prince-
like magician Presence (which I see as Samael) replaces the evil. The name Lillith Elyona keeps coming to
mind in this as well. Can you speak some to this? I have also worked with Abaddon as a binder of evil and a
protector, who can make mistakes, but is so powerful in the One. I love these angels truly and yearn to learn
more about this.

Blessings to you in Hayyah Yeshua, the Risen and Ascended Messiah!

There is a distinction between angels of wrath and demons that needs to be understood. While outwardly,
from the perspective of mortals, an angel of wrath and a demon may appear to be much the same, inwardly,
in their intentions and actions, they are not the same at all, not in the least! You see, an angel of wrath
corresponds with a divine intervention, action, of severity that holds the intention of delivering from klippot -
husks of impurity and darkness - and stirring teshuvah - turning to God, reintegration with the Light of the
Infinite One. In this, though outwardly appearing as 'wrath,' or as 'judgment,' their intention and actions are,
in fact, a manifestation of mercy and compassion. These angels are in direct service to the kingdom of heaven
and Ratzon Elyon - the will of the Most High.

A demon is another sort of entity, or spiritual force, with an entirely different intention. The intention of arch-
demons and demons is to oppose the kingdom of heaven and God, to further separate living spirits and souls
from God, and divide people against one another, and to prevent their reintegration with the Infinite Light.
They pull souls further and further into the ignorance, the darkness, delighting in havoc, chaos, the infliction
of pain, suffering, death and destruction. Though it may rightly be said that there is a spark of holiness, light,
even within the darkest of demons, for nothing actually can exist apart from the Holy One, Holy Shekinah, do
know and understand that demons are dark, evil forces, creatures of fear, anger, hatred, and all manner of
self-destructive negativities. They are not good, and do not intend good, not in the least!

There is a relatively modern pseudo-gnostic community with false prophets, sorcerers, claiming to be
"gnostic masters" and taking the names of arch-demons for themselves, claiming to be those evil forces
"redeemed" and now "good." They, and other deceivers like them, put forth all manner of strange and false
teachings, leading astray many who are lacking the foundation of a true spiritual education in mystical and
gnostic spiritualities born of actual spiritual and supernal realization. The founder of that very movement took
the name "Samael" for himself, made great claims for himself of "superiority" over other people and true
tzaddikim, creating what can only be called a 'cult' in the most negative sense. You see, Samael, which is
another name for the Satan, has not been redeemed. That is the name of the 'dragon' that appears in the Book
of Revelation, the force of the spirit of the Other Side behind the power of the 'great beast' and 'whore of
Babylon' - the klippot of the Six and Malkut, or Zer and Nukva.

There is a serious, and dangerous, confusion of teachings going on my brother, and the possibility of such
confusion made me have hesitation when I originally contemplated sharing these deeply esoteric teachings
openly. In fact, in the moment, part of me is inclined to delete this thread, for if it encourages people to
actively invoke demons as though they are 'angels of wrath' then it is causing great harm! I do not encourage
novice aspirants or new initiates to work with the wrathful palace, such practices are for experienced initiates
with a strong inwardness, and with instruction and guidance from their tzaddik on the compassionate, skillful
means involved, and the Way of Transformation that is applied. The same is true of works with Lilith, for
venturing into such esoteric mystical devotions requires sharp spiritual discernment, a deep generation of the
Sacred Heart - love and compassion - and a strong recognition of the ain nature underlying all things, and
knowledge of how to actually transform and uplift negativity and negative spiritual forces. These are not
practices, devotions, appropriate at the outset of the journey in the Gnostic Path. There are other devotions
that need to be well in place, along with the process of deeper spiritual realization that unfolds with them,
before devotions working with wrathful angels, and such, are good and true.

Azrael is one thing, Samael is another. They are, in fact, opposites, just as Kamael and Samael are opposites
representing Gevurah among the Sefirot of Beriyah - as a Divine Attribute - versus the klippah of Gevurah -
an attribute of the Other Side. According to the Zohar, speaking of the mystery of the 'angel of death,' it is
'Azrael' who appears to the faithful and righteous at the time of death, but to the wicked, and to evildoers, it is

'Samael.' With the former there is an uplifting and blessing action, and the possibility of ascent into the
heavens, as well as the possibility of enlightenment and liberation, but with the latter, an action of strict
judgment, a pull into hungry ghosts, fierce spirit and hell realms; hence an even greater bondage to the
ignorance, darkness, illusion of separation, and the gilgulim in unfortunate circumstances - potentially
endless rounds of birth, life, aging, illness and death, and the corresponding sorrows and sufferings. Samael is
not good, but as the name implies - is the 'poison of God,' the 'poisoner of the good.' Samael is a name
commonly used for Satan in the Kabbalah, and Zohar, as I shared in my original writing, and is understood to
be an arch-demon, not an archangel. Samael is a very toxic and dangerous spiritual force of darkness, evil,
that can bring great deception and harm, not something to be invoked by the sons and daughters of God, the
True Light, as though a 'friend' or 'comrade.'

Do know my brother, even great apostles, prophets, tzaddikim will not invoke Samael, Satan, save under
relatively extraordinary circumstances, and with a leading of the Holy Shekinah, Holy Spirit, for the
subjugation and diminishment of the power of Samael, Satan - the spirit of the Other Side. An example of
this occurs in the gospels with Yeshua Messiah when the Holy Spirit sent him into the wilderness to 'be
tempted by Satan' during a vision quest after his baptism in the Sacred Jordan. That, of course, is the
recounting of a perfect tzaddik who was called and able to do so, empowered to actually subjugate and
diminish the power of the Adversary as he opened the way for the preaching of the gospel to the people - the
word of God with power.

You do not want to take counsel or comfort from an arch-demon about demons, as though an arch-liar,
deceiver, is going to convey truth or what is real.

There are, however, archangels that hold most intimate knowledge of dark archons and demons, among them
are Michael and Kamael, the leader of the angelic warriors of heaven and the champion among them,
respectively. Rather than the wrathful palace or wrathful angels, the devotions of Templar initiates would be
wiser for you, and rather than invoking Samael, invoking Michael or Kamael would be wiser, and would be
advised. The devotions in the 'Order of St. Michael' are among the proper 'gates,' or ways of preparation, for
works with wrathful angels, or the wrathful palace of the Shekinah, assuming such works were among those
given to an initiate by the Holy One, Holy Shekinah.

As for "Lilith Elyon," this seems to be playing off of the confusion regarding Samael. If and when that term
might be used and speak truth, what it would hint at would be very different then one might think. It would
be pointing at a primordial and supernal reality beyond our ability to comprehend in this world. But then
what is actually meant by phrases like the 'redemption of Lilith,' or what Partzufim of Kali Imma or Kali
Kallah are, is very different than what many would think when first hearing about them. These are relatively
human terms and imagery indicating very deep spiritual and metaphysical mysteries, not to be taken literally
or at face value - they point to realities of the Divine beyond which, in truth, there are no words.

In closing I can share that when faithful people are living with schizophrenia, and are taking up mystical
practices, venturing into the 'wrathful palace,' or those with 'wrathful angels,' this is not advised. While
seeking some comfort in those teachings and practices, such practices tend to stir and amplify the more
troubling aspects of the illness, often in ways the person themself may not recognize. A focus on the Straight
Path teachings, and more common devotions will be of more benefit, and may help bring a greater comfort or
refuge, and clarity. It is like an initiate living with severe heart failure, there are ways of charismatic worship
and sacred ceremony that would not be advisable because they require more intense or extended physical
exertion that would be too much for them and would harm them, and so it is not good for them. Living with
any fleshly disability we need to take it into account and adapt, adjust, our devotions accordingly, seeking
what is actually good and true for us, and what will actually facilitate progress in our spiritual or supernal
realization in this life.

Thank you Tau! I will shift my focus back towards the more common practices and see what light this can
shed on my experience. I will also say that I felt the presence of Samael be more distant and not as near as
before after sharing today. I'll turn to Yeshua instead, its just overwhelming sometimes, but never too much. I
think I'm going through some phases trying to cope with this. Thank you Tau for the clarity, this brings me a
lot of joy!
