Our Work with him: Our personal expense with his has been that he is a Holy Angel and one who holds dominion over the Darkness. He is the Angel of darkness who walks in the shadows and embraces the creatures of the night. He is an Ambassador of the Angels to the Darkness and is one who is know to the other Archangels as adversarial and one who challenges command and often argues against the word and will of God. He is bold and courageous and is one who follows his own path. He understands and is in tune with the essence of the darkness and he himself holds the keys to the darkness of the angelic divine.

Samael is a unique and incredible Angel. An angel who is the Adversary, the seducer and the destroyer. Often mistaken for Satan, even though they are two very different beings. Samael holds the title of ha-satan, meaning he is an adversary and one who challenges what is considered right. Some do not see him as being negative as being an Adversary has its benefits. You can be an adversary of things you see as wrong in the world. An Adversary of a broken system that needs to be changed. Often times when we are faced with Adversary it leads to positive transformations. For that Samael is sometimes seen as a facilitator of change and transformation. Amongst the angels, Samael is the leader of the “satans” (a title given to those who are an Adversary, different from Lord Satan) and so is the Primal Adversary. He is one who is aligned with the Demons, Darkness and the creatures of the night.

Enochian Talisman of Samael

Being aligned with the night, rituals done to him are best cast under the moon. Calling him the darkness he will come and assist you in the areas that you need and he can help those who are lost and wandering. He can also help those who are having trouble accepting themselves and accepting their own shadows and monstrous sides that have been so rejected by society. He is one who himself has been rejected by the light and so he finds empowerment and power wrapped in the darkness of the night. He has his own unique brand of Magick that he teaches that draws power form the moon and the monstrous shadows which are woven into the darkness. The realm of monsters is greatly aligned with him for he himself has been seen as a monster. It is from these energies that truth and transformation of darkness can be revealed. He can show one the truth of their shadows and the truth of who they are. He is the revealer of truths and the inner darkness of the soul. He can help those who are fighting and struggling with their shadows and dark and sinister desires to find peace and to embrace balance and acceptance. He is one who reveals the depths of the soul and allows the individual to accept and embrace the inner essence of who they are. He shows and reveals the beauty of the monstrous and the beauty of those who are forlorn and different.

His historical contexts has labeled him many things. He has been written about as one of the Watcher Angels who fell from heaven to copulate with humans, to being the serpent in the bible who facilitated the downfall of Adam and Eve, to being the Father of Cain. There are many accounts of this mysterious and seductive Angel who has appeared as Adversary throughout our history. Our experience with him has revealed he is an Angel, an Angel of darkness who understands and appreciates the essence of transformation within the dark currents. He is the Husband of Lilith, and the 3 other Goddesses of Sacred Prostitution, Eisheth Zenunim , Na’amah , and Agrat bat Mahlat. 

His Wives being the 4 goddesses of Sacred Prostitutuion he is one of lust and deep sexual desire. He is an angel who understands the needs and wants of lust and he himself is known for his appetites and dark desires. He can help balance masculine energies and restore sex drive and sexual vitality. He can help one to balance and awaken the energies of their sacral chakra and restore ones vitality. He can help those who walk with him to find new life and to be restored and rejuvenated after times of terrible destruction and horror. He is one of courage and loyalty and will protect and defend those who he works with. He can also help one to awaken the warrior within and help them to embrace their core power and courage. He can help empower the divine masculine and help men to find confidence and strength. He can help them to rise from the ashes of destruction and find balance and purpose. Some sources claim that he was castrated by God, however our work with him as revealed that he was not, he though can help men who have been emasculated to feel empowered and find their purpose and strength. He has a very strong connection to the divine masculine and he is a strong and protective force.

Angelic Signature of Samael

He is a powerful and incredibly skilled and trained warrior and he fights with the power of sword and spear. He is strong and dominate and one who knows himself and his fighting ability. He knows how to defend those who he cares about and loves. though he is one of lessons and he knows that the best guardian is one that teaches those under him how to walk again. He brings empowerment to those who work with him so he will protect them while allowing them to grow. He does not enable those who he works with and instead shields them while they need his protection and gives them the space to grow and make mistakes. Lilith having the qualities of sacred mother in her, Samael has the qualities of a Dark Father, he knows how to shield and protect his children but he knows when he needs to send them to be tested against the cruelty and malice of the world. It is a balance and it one that brings incredible growth to those who walk with him.

He is an Angel who understand aggression and he understands the raw and primal essence of the masculine divine. the merging and sacred union of his and Liliths energies make for a sacred and intimate union between the masculine and the feminine.

Being an Angel of Destruction he can also dissolve connections and cause marriage troubles. He is very connected with Lilith. She is the Queen of the night and he is the King of Darkness. They have a deep and passionate love. When she arrived on the shores of the Red Sea he was the one who she made love with and he was the one who helped her find herself and gave her protection while she claimed her status as Queen. He can evoke lust, passion and sexuality in others and he himself is an Angel of Lust and sacred temptations. He is one of dark sexual appetites and is one who can assist with the removal of shame around sexual desires.

He can help one who calls on him through times of hardship and strife and help them to recover their lost power and find the strength and the might to carry on. He can help those who walk with him who have suffered from abuse find healing and protection. He understands the needs and desires of the divine feminine and he can help the feminine find balance and healing. He can offer protection and act as a pillar of strength for those who are crumbling and having all that is around them fall to destruction. He himself is one of strength and power and he can teach those who work with him how to embrace and claim their core power and purpose. Through the shadows and the flames of the night the power of magick and the monstrous self rises. He is an amazing Angel to work with and one who brings incredible revelations to those who walk with him.

    It has been a long time since I searched for such a source of information about him … There is little or no full article on the net. This powerful archangel is very precious to me and I am happy to read a text which describes him so well. He follows me in all spheres of my existence here since the birth of my soul. I therefore express all my gratitude and admiration to the person (s) concerned for sharing this. I find that his portrait is perfectly respected and interpreted. Thanks again !

    I appreciate this write up.
    So, even though I never sought to work with Samael, I was told by archangel Michael that I would be working with him, and Lilith. I had actually never heard of either of them until a few months ago. It is my understanding that Lilith has now ascended to a higher realm, and is no longer (at least for now) accessible to him. He has been going through some changes as well, and I have been working with him on dreams and Astral traveling. There seems to be a rift in the group of beings he normally works with, they seems to be fighting and harming each other, this is what I see in my dreams. He keeps telling me that things are out of balance, and we need to bring it back into balance. This is what Michael says as well. Previous to this, I really only worked with the more traditional archangels, and was initially afraid to work with him, and he didn’t seem to want to work with me either. This has been quite an experience for me to say the least, and I am interested to see what happens.

    Was wondering what month I should dedicate myself to Samael as my patron? And date?

    Reply
    • Personally, I love the end of November and the Beginning of December for working with Samael, I find the darkness of that time of the year just blends so nicely with his energies. November 28th – December 3rd is my personal favourite time.

    Is it possible to have 2 patron demons? And a matron?

    Reply
    • It depends on the path you follow. Some paths say that you can only have one Patron and that is your Patron for life, other paths say that you can have more than one. I always say to follow what feels right to you.
