Evildoer Added to Evildoer: The Story of Satan, Azazel and the Rebellious Angels An excerpt from:
Beltane is a Celtic holy-day celebrated on May 1 which commemorates the entrapment of Azazel and his angels (along with Azazel‘s human wife) within the earth at the time of the Biblical Flood the day following the slaughter of their angel/human hybrid children. Beltane festivals featured ritual acts designed to protect people from harm by Otherworldly spirits. Corresponding to a cross-quarter day, this holy-day was celebrated in the Northern Hemisphere as Samhain (in medieval Ireland, Samhain became the principle festival where ritual bonfires were lit on hills, which is to say, on the high-places, throughout Ireland. The ancient Celtic festival of Samhain included a ritual celebration of the union of a chieftain god (representing the angel Azazel) and a mother-goddess (representing Azazel‘s human wife), as well as seeking the propitiation of the spirits), from whence comes our celebration of Halloween (October 31), also showcasing the demons, ghosts and goblins which represented the fallen angels entrapped within the earth and the spirits of their dead angel/human hybrid offspring. In commemoration of the deaths of the human/hybrid offspring of the angels, Samhain is called the ‗Greater Sabbat of the Dead‘ in Wiccan magic (‗Wicca‘ is the Old English name for a male witch). Cernunnos is the Wiccan Horned God. His ‗death,‘ or rather, his interment within the earth, is marked on Samhain (October 31). In Wicca, Samhain (October 31) also marks the descent of the Goddess, who represents Azazel‘s human wife, into the Underworld. In Celtic legends, the place within the earth where the angels are entrapped is called the Otherworld (this is also true of the Egyptians, from whom this concept likely originated. According to noted Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge in The Egyptian Heaven and Hell (p.87), the term ‗Other World‘ was synonymous with the term ‗Underworld‘). As noted by Whitley Stokes in KZ 40:245 (1907), the word ‗Samhain‘ is etymologically similar to the Proto-Celtic *samani, meaning ‗assembly,‘ a word also etymologically similar to the Roman word ‗manes‘ and the Etruscan word ‗mani,‘ other worldly beimgs who represent the assembly of imprisoned fallen angels in whose honor this festival is celebrated. The Koran 6.128 likewise speaks of such an ―assembly of jinn‖ (from Arabic jinn, collective plural, meaning "demons, spirits, angels"). The assembled group of jinn, which is to say, angels spoken of therein include Azazel and his group of imprisoned fallen angels. The book of magic known as The Greater Key of Solomon likewise speaks of such ―assemblies‖ of ―Evil and rebellious Spirits (read: angels) dwelling in the Abysses of Darkness‖ of whom its practitioners sought to ―conjure‖ (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VII). The Seventh Tablet of the Assyrian Story of the Creation Line 1 and Fragment-K 3449 Line 4 (See Records of the Past 2nd series, Vol. I ed. by A. H. Sayce/University of Oxford (1888 A.D.)) speak of such an ―assembly‖ of ―gods,‖ which is to say, of the existence of such an ―assembly‖ of angels on our Earth whom the ancients revered as gods).
