Fallen Angels in "The Book of Enoch"

Fallen Angels – The Book of Enoch
The Book of Enoch
Who was Enoch? In the Bible, Genesis says Enoch “walked with God” and “was not, for God took him.” The Book of
Enoch reveals that God allowed Enoch to return to earth to give his children certain secrets.
The premise of the Book of Enoch is that rebel angels took on human bodies to fulfill their lust for the “daughters of
men,” and that they taught men to build weapons of war. The Book of Enoch was cherished by the Essenes,The
True Chosen ones, but later condemned by both False Jewish rabbis and Catholic Pagan Church Fathers. The
book was denounced, banned and “lost” for over a thousand years until, in 1773, a Scottish explorer discovered
three copies in Ethiopia.
The Book of Enoch tell of how and where the Caucasian Race originated from,the seeds of theFallen ,this is
why The Book of Enoch has been banned.
The Fallen Angels – Who are They?
The fallen angels are those angels who followed Lucifer in the Great Rebellion.
Their consciousness therefore “fell” to lower levels of vibration and awareness as they were, by cosmic law, “cast
out into the earth” by Archangel Michael and his legions of good angels.
The fallen angels are known by many names: the fallen ones, Luciferians, Watchers, Nephilim, “giants in the
earth,” Satanists, Serpents, sons of Belial, etc.
The word Nephilim comes from the Hebrew, meaning “those who fell” or “those who were cast down,” from the
Semitic root naphal, meaning “to fall. ” In the Greek Septuagint, a late translation of the Hebrew scriptures, the
word Nephilim is rendered as “giants” (Gen. 6:4; Num. 13:33).

The ascended masters reveal that the Nephilim are the fallen angels cast out of heaven into the earth (Rev. 12:7-
10, 12). They are of the lineage and descent of “the Watchers” revealed in the Book of Enoch. Cambridge
scholar and author C. S. Lewis wrote about the modus operandi of “bad angels” in his renowned Screwtape
Letters. His psychological analysis of these bad angels is keenly descriptive of these embodied Watchers.
The fallen angels were constrained by the karma of their disobedience to God and his Christ, and by their
blasphemy of his children. Their punishment was to take on the same dense physical bodies we wear and to
evolve as humans.
The forces of darkness are relentless in their attempts to pull us away from God and unlawfully steal our light.
The tricks and strategies they use are from a well-worn playbook. Unfortunately, their plots and ploys are often
successful, which is why they continue to use them.
But we can arm ourselves against these dark strategies. First we must know what these strategies are. Then we must
learn to recognize them when they are being used against us. And, armed with this knowledge, we must resolve to
overcome darkness at every turn.
This week, we will explore strategies of darkness that include condemnation, flattery, self-absorption, the feeling that we
need to be perfect in order to win God’s love, the temptation to believe that we can go it alone and the lie of relative
good and evil.
When Lucifer and his followers were cast out of heaven, not only did they lose their heavenly estate, they
also lost the ability to gather and garner their own light.
To survive, then, they required an external source. And guess whose light they sought? Ours!
Ever since the rebel angels fell, they have plotted to deprive us of our light. To do this, they have devised a playbook of
unfortunately successful light-stealing strategies.
And because these strategies work so well, they are employed over and over again! However, these strategies can be
easily defeated, once we know what they are and how to counter them.
This is our focus for this week’s program. We’ll call out and expose the fallen ones’ favorite plots and ploys so that you
need never be a victim of them again.
Knowledge by itself may be power, but the right use of knowledge is where the true power resides.
The strategies of light that we will explore will offer you useful knowledge and how to use it to free yourself from
darkness forever!
The Fallen Angels Instruct Humanity

Two hundred of the ‘fallen angels’ descended from the heavenly realm on to the summit of Mount Hermon and
they were so smitten by the beauty of human women that, using their new material bodies, they had sex with
them. This further incurred Yahweh’s wrath and, according to the Bible, the consequence of this miscegenation
between the Fallen Ones and mortals led to the creation of half-angelic, half-human offspring (Genesis 6:4).
These children were called the Nefelim or Nephilim and they were the giant race that once inhabited Old Earth. The
fallen angels taught their wives and children a variety of new technological skills, magical knowledge and occult wisdom.
This suggests that psychic abilities and magical powers were originally an ancient inheritance from the angelic realm
given to early humans. In the Luciferian tradition this is known in spiritual and metaphorical terms as the ‘witch blood’,
‘elven blood’ or ‘faery blood’ that is possessed by witches and wizards.
In the Book of Enoch it says that the leader of the fallen angels was called Azazel, and he is often identified with Lucifer
(the Lightbringer) or Lumiel (‘the light of God’). He taught men to forge swords and make shields and breastplates (body
armour). Azazel also taught them metallurgy and how to mine from the earth and use different metals. To the women he
taught the art of making bracelets, ornaments, rings and necklaces from precious metals and stones. He also showed
them how to ‘beautify their eyelids’ with kohl and the use of cosmetic tricks to attract and seduce the opposite sex. From
these practices Enoch says there came much ‘godlessness’ and men and women committed fornication, were led
astray and became corrupt in their ways.
This was the basis for the early Church condemning the fallen angels for teaching women to make necklaces from
pieces of gold and bracelets for their arms. St Paul said that women should cover their head in the synagogue
(Corinthians: 11:5-6). This was because the fallen angels were supposed to be attracted to human females with long
flowing hair. The custom of women covering their hair in churches is still found in Roman Catholicism and also in the
customs of Islam.
The fallen angel Shemyaza, another form of Azazel, is said by Enoch to have taught humans the use of root cuttings
and the magical art of enchantment; the fallen angel Armaros taught the resolving (banishing) of enchantments;
Baraqijal taught astrology; Kokabiel, the knowledge of the constellations (astronomy); Chazaqiel, the knowledge of the
clouds and the sky (weather lore and divination); Shamsiel, the signs of the sun (the solar mysteries); Sariel the courses
of the moon (the lunar cycles used in horticulture and agriculture and the esoteric lunar mysteries); Penemuel instructed
humans in the art of writing and reading; and Kashdejan taught the diagnosis and healing of diseases and the science
of medicine.
It is obvious from these descriptions of the teaching abilities of the Watchers that they were cultural exemplars and the
bringers of civilisation to the early human race. It is therefore strange that in orthodox Judeo-Christian religious texts
they are misrepresented as evil corrupters of humanity.
Some idea of the original exalted status and real nature of the ‘sons of God’ and ‘the angels of the Lord’ can be found
hidden in the ancient annals of angelic lore. For instance, Kokabiel is described as “a great angelic prince who rules
over the stars.” In the Sibylline Oracles, Araqiel is one of the fallen angels who guides the souls of the dead to
judgement in the underworld.
Shamsiel, possible originally a Babylonian sun god, was called “the prince of Paradise” because he was one of the
guardian angels who watched over the gates to Eden. In this role he took Moses to see the heavenly garden and he
also watched over the treasures of King David and his son Solomon the Wise. This reference may be to spiritual

treasures rather than physical gold and jewels. In the Jewish Zohar he is named as the chief aide-de-camp to the mighty
Archangel Uriel and bore his standard into battle.
Sariel was an angel associated with fertility of the earth and the spring equinox (northern hemisphere) in March. He
governed the martial zodiac sign of Aries the Ram and was invoked for protection against the malefic power of the Evil
Eye.
Azazel – Lucifer – Lumiel
Azazel, the leader of the Watchers, as mentioned before, was identified with Lucifer or Lumiel. In the Quran it is
said that Lucifer-Lumiel (Iblis) rebelled against Allah because he was told to bow down and worship the clayborn
“man of earth” Adam and refused. He was forced to fight a battle in Heaven with the Archangel Mikael or
Michael and his Army of the Lord. As a result Lumiel and his rebel angels were cast out of Heaven and fell down
to Earth. Here Lumiel became the “Lord of the World” and in Christian mythology he was falsely identified with
the bogeyman Satan. However, esoterically in the Luciferian tradition, Lumiel or Lumial is not an evil satanic
figure luring humankind into temptation and acts of evil as the Church represents him. He is “the angel of God
[who] rebelled against the static, established cosmic order and set in motion the forces of change and
evolution…”
It is possible that Lumiel may have originated in Canaan as Shahar, the god of the morning star (Venus). He had a twin
called Shalem, who was also symbolised by the planet Venus, but as the evening star. These divine bright and dark
twins represented the solar light emerging from the darkness of night at dawn and descending into it at dusk. They were
the children of the goddess Asherah, and there is archaeological evidence from the Middle East that the Hebrews
adopted her worship when they settled in Canaan and practised it alongside reverence of the tribal storm god Yahweh.
The Old Testament has several references to the continued worship of Asherah as “Queen of Heaven” by the allegedly
monotheistic Hebrews. This took place at shrines in sacred groves on hills where they made offerings of cakes and
incense to the goddess. In Canaanite mythology, Shahar, as the Lord of the Morning Star, was cast down from heaven
for defying the high god El in the form of a lightning bolt. In that form he fertilised Mother Earth with his divine phallic
force.
Azazel is represented as a metal-smith and a fire-working sorcerer or magician. He has also been compared to the
biblical first smith Tubal-Cain, a descendant of the half-human, half-angelic “first murderer” Cain. The actual name
Azazel has variously been translated as ‘god of victory’, ‘the strength of God’, ‘the strong god’ and even ‘the goat god’.
In the apocryphal Apocalypse of Abraham, he is called “the lord of heathens” suggesting he was originally a pagan god.
He has also been identified with the serpent in the Edenic myth that seduced the first woman and “Mother of All Living,”
Eve. In a Persian text known as the Urm al-Khibab or The Primordial Book, dating from the 8th century CE, the angel
Azazil or Azazel is said to have refused to acknowledge the superiority of Adam over the angels. As a result Allah
expelled him and his rebel angels from the heavenly realm to live on Earth. More generally in Islamic lore Azazel or
Azrael is the angel of death and he acts as a guide for the souls of the dead.
In Leviticus 16:8-10 and in the Dead Sea Scrolls a curious Hebrew ritual is recorded that features Azazel as the name
for the ‘scapegoat’ that takes on the communal sins of Israel. It says that the high priest Aaron took two goats from the
flock and cast lots (practised divination) to choose which one would be the scapegoat and sacrificed as a “sin offering.”

The Scrolls say that the high priest confessed all the “impurities of the children of Israel” over the head of the Azazel
goat. By this ritually symbolic act he transferred to the unfortunate animal all their guilt and sins so they could be
absolved of them. The goat was then either cast out into the wilderness to die or thrown over a cliff to be dashed to
pieces on the rocks below.
This ancient and archetypal concept of the scapegoat sacrificed for the sins of the human race and abandoned in the
wilderness is a powerful and potent motif that appears several times in biblical myths. It can be seen in the story of Cain
who becomes an exiled wanderer on the Earth after being marked by God and banished “east of Eden” after killing his
brother Abel. In one Jewish legend the wise King Solomon, a powerful magician who could summon and control
demons, fell from grace because he “whored after foreign gods.” He was forced by God to leave Jerusalem and wander
in the desert disguised as a beggar.
Also after their exodus from slavery in Egypt, Moses and the Israelites were forced to spend forty years wandering in the
desert before they were allowed to enter the Promised Land (Canaan). In Ancient Egyptian mythology, the dark god Set
is represented as a divine outcast who dwells in the desert and, after she left Adam, his first wife Lilith or Liliya fled to
the wilderness away from human habitation. In the New Testament Jesus wandered in the wilderness for forty days and
nights. He was not accepted as a teacher in his own town of Nazareth and was rejected as the promised messiah by his
people. When Jesus was crucified he symbolically took on the role of the sacrificial scapegoat who dies to cleanse the
sins of the human race.
It is possible that the account of the ritual of the goat-god Azazel may have been an autumn equinox or harvest rite of
Syrian, Hittite or Canaanite origin adopted by the Hebrews. Originally a goat would have been selected by means of a
divination ritual and then offered to a desert god or demon that had to be placated by the shedding of blood. Eventually
the sacrifice was made to Yahweh as a petition to forgive the sins of his followers. Azazel was popularly believed to
have a retinue of hairy he-goat demons known as the se’irim who, like the Watchers, lusted after human women. It
cannot be a total coincidence that the Church imagined the Devil or Satan in the form of a hairy half-human he-goat with
a massive erect phallus who had sexual intercourse with his female worshippers at the Witches Sabbath.
Shemyaza is seen by some modern Luciferians as either the emissary of Lumiel or one of his avatars (an incarnated
divine being in human form). He not only fell in love with human women, but also with the Babylonian deity Ishtar, the
goddess of love and war. She promised to have sex with him if he would in return reveal to her the secret name of God.
When Shemyaza told her, Ishtar used this forbidden knowledge to ascend to the stars and she reigned over the
constellation of Pleiades or the Seven Sisters. While the other Watchers were rounded up by the archangels and
punished by God, Shemyaza voluntarily repented his error and sentenced himself to hang upside down in the
constellation of Orion the Hunter, with whom he is sometimes identified in the Luciferian tradition. In the Qabalistic
tradition, Naamah, the sister of the biblical first smith Tubal-Cain, seduced Azazel and she has been associated with
Ishtar.
“A race between Gods and men”
As we have seen, the end result of the illicit relationships between the Watchers and “the daughters of men”
was, according to Judeo-Christian propaganda, the spawning of a monstrous race of warlike, blood-drinking
cannibalistic giants called the Nephilim. Genesis 6:4 less dramatically describes them as “the mighty men of old,
men of renown.” At first they were fed manna (ambrosia or the food of the Gods?) by Yahweh to stop them

consuming human flesh, but they rejected it. They slaughtered animals for food instead and then began to hunt
down and eat human prey.
It has been speculated that this legend is based on the culinary habits of the nomadic desert herdsmen in the Middle
East, who were voracious meat-eaters. In the biblical myth of Cain and Abel the dispute between the two brothers that
led to the first murder is over the nature of the offerings made to Yahweh. Abel, a “keeper of sheep” or nomadic
herdsman offered the “firstlings of the flock…” and Cain, who was “a tiller of the ground” or farmer-gardener offered “the
fruit of the ground” (Genesis 4:2-4). Abel’s burnt offerings of animal flesh and blood were pleasing to Yahweh, but he
rejected the vegetables, cereal and fruit offered by his brother. On a purely material level, as opposed to a mythic and
spiritual metaphor, this story may reflect the struggle for dominance between nomadic herdsmen and the early farmers
of the Neolithic Age in the Middle East.
The idea of semi-divine heroes was born from the ancient myths of unions between the Gods and mortals. The poet and
writer Pindor (518-438 BCE) described the heroes of the past as “a race between Gods and men.” In the Dead Sea
Scrolls the terrible human-eating Nephilim are in fact described as the guardians of arcane knowledge who “knew all the
mysteries of nature and science.” There are also oblique references to the breeding techniques they taught that suggest
they instructed early humans in the domestication and rearing of animals.
Additional references also hint at experiments that led to the creation of ‘monsters’ by the interbreeding of animals with
different and unrelated species. In modern theosophical occultism there are legends about the lost continent of Atlantis
that claim its scientists bred half-human, half-animal hybrids as a slave race. In our own time scientists are
experimenting with genetic research and animal cloning experiments. It is widely rumoured that in China there have
recently been abortive attempts to create a new half-human, half-animal hybrid species. These unnatural experiments
led to the cataclysmic disaster that destroyed Atlantis. This also relates to the destruction of the Nephilim and the early
human race in the biblical Flood. Records of such an event can also be found in the mythology of ancient peoples
worldwide and especially among the Babylonians in the Middle East. In fact, it is claimed that the story of Noah and the
Flood in the Old Testament originated in Babylonian and Sumerian myths.
10,000 BCE and the End of the Ice Age
It is known that around 10,000 BCE there seems to have been a cultural explosion that transformed early
humankind. At the end of the last Ice Age the first signs of agriculture appeared in the Middle East with a shift
from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle to that of settled farming. This marked the beginning of civilisation in
this area. As early as 9500 BCE barley, wheat and rye were being cultivated and oats, peas and lentils were
being grown by our Neolithic ancestors in what is now modern Kurdistan, between Turkey and Iraq. At the same
time dogs, goats and sheep were also domesticated. Within a thousand years copper and lead smelting was
being practised in Anatolia (modern Turkey) and archaeologists believe this process was first discovered in
Kurdistan, along with weaving and pottery making. The ancient Kurdish culture was also the first to develop a
script and was one of the earliest literate societies in the Middle East.
The Kurds claim to be the descendants of the ‘Children of the Djinn’ (spirits), the offspring of a mating between the
djinns and mortal women. In some parts of Kurdistan, especially among the sect of Yezedis, who worship the Peacock
Angel (Azazel, the leader of the fallen angels), can be found tall, fair-haired people with blue eyes. Although

anthropologists believe they may be of ancient European ancestry, popular folk belief among the Kurds says they are
descendants of the ‘Children of the Djinn’, who in ancient times brought civilisation to early humankind.
In general the ancient Middle East was known as ‘the cradle of civilisation’ with the earliest city-states being founded in
the Mesopotamian area (modern Iraq and Iran). The early indigenous people of the region, the Sumerians and
Akkadians, developed the first written language, studied astronomy and created libraries. The Babylonians and
Assyrians followed them and in the mythology of all these races are stories of how the Gods descended to Earth and
taught them the arts of civilisation.
In the Book of Enoch it says that when Yahweh saw the lawlessness, chaos, corruption and sexual immorality that had
been caused by the interaction of the Watchers and humans he decided to intervene through the agency of the
archangels Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel. He commanded Raphael to bind Azazel hand and foot like a sacrificial
goat and cast him into a deep ravine in the desert. Gabriel was sent on a divine mission to destroy “the bastards and
reprobates” and “the children of the Watchers amongst men.”5 The Archangel Michael, the commander of the Army of
God, was sent to arrest Shemyaza and bind him “under the earth” until Judgement Day. As we have seen, the fallen
angel repented his sins and sentenced himself to cosmic exile among the stars.
The Book of Jubilee says that the archangels bound the Watchers “in the depths of the earth” and in Judaic lore they
are imprisoned in a mysterious “second Heaven.” However, it is also said that some of these “mighty warriors” have a
special place reserved for them in Sheol, the Jewish underworld. There they are said to lie in state “with shield and
spear intact.”
Christian O’Brien has suggested6 there is a connection between the biblical Watchers and the semi-divine, semimythical
Tuatha De Danann (Children of the goddess Dana). This race of ancient magicians descended to Earth on the
sacred hill of Tara in prehistoric Ireland. With the coming of Christianity, the Tuatha De Danann was banished into the
‘hollow hills’ and became the Sidhe (Shee) or ‘Shining Ones’, the elves and faeries of Irish folklore. There has always
been a strong belief among the peasantry in Ireland that the Good People or faeries were originally the fallen angels
who sided with Lucifer in the Battle of Heaven.
In this article we have constantly referred to the Watchers as angelic beings with a spiritual form who incarnated in
physical bodies to have sexual relations with mortal women. In recent years a considerable amount of speculative
literature has been published suggesting that instead they were of earthly origin. Popular best-selling authors such as
Andrew Collins,7 Graham Hancock and Ian Lawson have claimed that the biblical myth of the Watchers represents
memories of a primeval ‘elder race’ of super-humans belonging to a lost civilisation who taught their technology to more
primitive people. Lawson has claimed that this (unknown) ancient race may have been spiritually advanced souls who
incarnated to help early humankind and were corrupted by them in the process. Collins has also recently launched a
new project to investigate the magical aspects of the legend.
Symbolism: the Myth of the Fallen Angels
What is the esoteric significance behind the myth of the fallen angels, the expulsion of Lucifer from Heaven and
the Fall of Man as represented by the Garden of Eden saga? In the Bible Lucifer is often depicted in the reptilian

form of a dragon or serpent and in the West this creature is symbolic of evil and the powers of chaos.
Babylonian, Hittite, Canaanite, Iranian, Egyptian, Greek and Norse myths all describe in various forms a
struggle between a supreme father-god, representing cosmic order and harmony, and a younger rebellious god
who challenges and tries to overthrow divine authority. Although these conflicts usually take place in a prehuman
epoch, they are also sometimes depicted as occurring in world history and are often connected with the
creation and early development of the human species and the rise of ancient civilisations.
Symbolically, Lucifer or Lumiel is known as the Lord of Light as he is the first-born of creation. He represents the active
cosmic energy of the universe and has been identified with fire, light, phallic power, independent thought,
consciousness, progress, liberty and independence. The founder of the modern Theosophical Society, Madame Helena
Blavatsky, described the Lightbringer as “the spirit of intellectual enlightenment and the freedom of thought” without
whose influence humanity would be “no better than animals.”
In the Bible Lucifer (or Satan as he is mistakenly called) is often depicted in reptilian form as either a dragon or a
serpent. In Western mythologies this creature is commonly misrepresented as a symbol of the powers of darkness,
chaos and evil. In contrast, in Eastern mythology the dragon is a good omen representing fertility and good fortune.
Lumiel-Lucifer is often identified with the serpent in the Edenic myth described in Genesis. In the Luciferian tradition, the
biblical serpent is regarded as the personification of knowledge, wisdom and enlightenment who liberated the first
humans from the spiritual ignorance imposed on them by Yahweh. The serpent is seen as the symbol of an outside
liberating force that quite literally opened the eyes of Adam and Eve to the reality of the created universe and the
wonders of the material world.
The snake, serpent or dragon is an ancient mythical and archetypal image of the solar phallic power or life force that is
associated with Lucifer and the explosion of light following the divine celestial event that created the universe (known by
modern scientists as the Big Bang). When the first man and woman ate the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the
Knowledge of Good and Evil in the astral or heavenly garden, they became consciously aware. Their first realisation
was that their physical ‘cloaks of flesh’ were naked. They rushed to cover their genitals as they had become aware of
the so-called ‘serpent power’ or kundalini that can be raised by sexual intercourse and non-reproductive sex acts. They
also ate from the Tree of Life which initiated the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth and of human souls incarnating in
physical form.
Interestingly, the anthropologist and shamanic teacher Dr. Michael Harner has described an experience he had in the
jungle of the Peruvian Amazon after partaking of the hallucinogenic vine ayahuasca. He had a vision of a dragonprowed
ship with a crew of bird-headed humans. He then encountered an ancient race of reptilian entities that he
believes exist within each human being in the brain stem at the base of the skull and the top of the spinal column. These
reptilian life forms told Dr. Harner they had arrived on Earth aeons ago from the stars. Allegedly, they created life here
so they had somewhere to hide and were the true masters of the planet. The anthropologist mentioned this to an old
Indian shaman and he said he knew about these entities and called them the “Masters of the Outer Darkness.”
The myth of the Watchers, the Fall of Lucifer and the Fall of Man all represent the primeval Dreamtime or ‘Golden Age’
of cosmic and earthy harmony and primal innocence that may have existed on the material plane or on some kind of
astral or pre-material plane. It is the symbolic or actual physical destruction of this heavenly or earthly paradise, where
humans and animals lived together and communicated by a universal language, which is reflected in such myths and
legends. In shamanic terms it is known as the Great Separation when humans no longer knew or understood the

language of the animals. It was also a time when humans began to communicate together in different languages and
this is represented by the biblical story of the Tower of Babel.
The myth of the Golden Age or Paradise on Earth is closely linked with the fall of Lucifer from Heaven and the
diminishing of his former status as the first-born of creation to become the Lord of the World. On a symbolic and
metaphorical level, as well as a physical one, it is also connected to the separation of humans from nature and their
natural environment that is manifesting in our modern times. It was the deliberate intervention of Lucifer and the fallen
angels in human evolution, rather than any defiance of cosmic authority, which ultimately lead to their fall from heavenly
grace. The Watchers’ only ‘crime’ was that they wanted to help the progress of their human flock. However, the refusal
of Lucifer-Iblis to recognise the creation of human beings means that the Fall from heavenly grace was inevitable.
In the Luciferian tradition Lumiel is promised redemption and the restoration of his former status in the cosmic plan. This
can only come to pass when the human race spiritually evolves. So it is to the benefit of Lumiel and his teaching angels
to help us achieve that end. The relationship between humanity and the leader of the Fallen Ones is therefore very
much a symbiotic one, as they need each other.
Watcher (angel)
Watcher (Aramaic עִיר iyr, plural עִיִרין iyrin, IPA ʕiːr(iːn); Theodotian trans: ir; from the root of Heb. `er, "awake,
watchful"; Greek: ἐγρήγοροι, transl.: egrḗgoroi; Slav transliteration, Grigori, "Watchers", "those who are
awake"; "guard", "watcher") is a term used in connection with biblical angels. Watcher occurs in both plural and
singular forms in the Book of Daniel (4th–2nd century BC), where reference is made to their holiness. The
apocryphal Books of Enoch (2nd–1st centuries BC) refer to both good and bad Watchers, with a primary focus
on the rebellious ones.
