| Name: | Azazel |
|---|---|
| Website: | More about me here |
Azazel is an enigmatic name from the Hebrew scriptures, possibly referring to a person, angel or fallen angel, or place. The word's first appearances are in Leviticus 16, when in the ritual for Yom Kippur the scapegoat is to be taken to Azazel and cast into the wilderness, but the text is unclear as to the actual identity of Azazel.
According to the apocryphal Book of Enoch, Azazel was a leader of the grigori (also known as "watchers"), a group of fallen angels who mated with mortal women, giving rise to a race of giants known as the Nephilim. Azazel is particularly noteworthy among the grigori because it was he who taught men how to make weapons of war as well as teaching women how to make and wear cosmetics. Eventually, Azazel's teachings created such iniquity that God decided to destroy all life on Earth with a great flood, sparing only Noah, Noah's family, and seven pairs of each species of "clean" animals, and one pair of each "unclean" species, all of whom escaped destruction by living for forty days and forty nights on an ark that God instructed Noah to build.
N.B: Don't kill me if I get this wrong, I am just learning about this creature and was spurred to create him after seeing Hex episodes. He is not from the show, but the ideas around Hex maybe used.
