I've seen books with long lists of names, too many books and names to remember even with a memory like mine that rarely forgets much at all.

An apocryphal book called the Book of Enoch adds more detail to a strange passage in Genesis about them. Genesis never mentions their role, but mentions what got them into trouble with the boss. "...and the Sons of God took as wives the daughters of Men and with them bore children. These were the Nephilim, the men of renown...." So for breaking the rule of just watching humanity and deciding to breed with mortals, 200 of the Watchers were banished from heaven, their leader was the angel Azazel, who is, in his human guise, claimed by some mythologies as both the father of jewelry, cosmetics and of warfare. His punishment was to never be of flesh and blood again, a disembodied spirit forever wandering in the desert, lost, alone and angry. 030401 ... cube Under the headphones, I envision Him laying down tracks, each from a distant point in the universe.

Zadkiel- has a dynamic but ultimately balancing influence, particularly on the extremes of human behavior. Zaphkiel- brings in sustenance for the soul, making you more conscious of soul and so of the possible of reconnecting with divine unconditional love. Raziel- brings radical change into your life in the form of a new understanding. Metatron- empowers transformation, the ability to change the old into the new, making a sacred space for the process of rebirth required by the upward pull of evolution, and changing anything which fails to resonate with the highest truth. Raphael- the healing of human emotions and the search for harmony in all aspects of life. Hanael- brings confrontational energies to the fore, and exposes them so that they cannot be ignored. Gabriel- prepares human minds and brings in more understanding before great changes take place. Samael- permits you to accept the limitations of earthly time and physical life while also giving you an understanding of the immortality of the soul. Sandalphon- guardian of Earth.
