Who's Samael
"Fallen angels chose to fall from Heaven. They will argue against this point, and have done with me, but the memory of it is in their genetic core. God, or Spirit, whichever name suits you best, wanted to learn about all 'its' nature, and the reverse of Love is also part of 'its' nature. In my understanding, God spoke to one of the Elohim and asked 'her' to become the opposite of Light. She is called Samael, Angel of Illumination - and illumination means, in that case, the bringing in of knowledge. So she fell into darkness, and took one third of the angels/elohim with her.
Every being needs a home and Earth was given to Samael as her home, and the place where she and her followers felt most comfortable - a world of chaos and illusion. The humans chose to follow in three stages, and that is why the Christian church writes that humans are fallen .. hence Adam and Eve."
Samael is an important figure in Talmudic and post-Talmudic lore, a figure who is accuser, seducer, and destroyer. Legends mentioning Satan refer equally to him, such that Samael is often taken to be the true or angelic name of the Devil, some also use the name Lucifer (light-bearer), but this is a mistranslation of Isaiah 14 where Helel was a Babylonian / Canaanite god who was the son of another Babylonian / Canaanite god named Shahar. An early Christian translator used the Latin word lucifer as a translation for Helel (both have the same meaning of "morning star." So Lucifer as a name for a devil came about as a result of a translation of a word being used by later people as a proper name.
Helel was the god of the morning star and his father was Shahar, god of the dawn. So Isaiah is saying that with the fall of the King of Babylon so falls his false gods Helel and Shahar. Ergo Lucifer is not a name of Samael. Samael cannot always be simply identified with Satan, because some translations of the Book of Enoch confirm Satan's angelic name to be Satanail.
The etymology of Samael is "Venom of God," as he is sometimes identified with the Angel of death. But the name could also be derived from that of the Syrian god Shemal.
Every being needs a home and Earth was given to Samael as her home, and the place where she and her followers felt most comfortable - a world of chaos and illusion. The humans chose to follow in three stages, and that is why the Christian church writes that humans are fallen .. hence Adam and Eve."
In Jewish lore, he is said to be the Angel of Death, the chief ruler of the Fifth Heaven, one of the seven regents of the world served by two million angels. Yalkut I, 110 of the Talmud speaks of Samael as Esau's guardian angel. In Sotah 10b, Samael is Edom's guardian angel, and in the Sayings of Rabbi Eliezer, he is charged with being the one who tempted Eve, then seduced and impregnated her with Cain. Though some sources identify Gadreel as the angel that seduced Eve, other Hebrew scholars say that it was Samael who tempted Eve in the guise of the Serpent. Samael is also sometimes identified as being the angelic antagonist that wrestled Jacob at Esau, and as being the angel that held back the arm of Abraham as he was about to sacrifice his son.
