Lower Angelic Forces These 9 groups are often some of the most controversial because their existence depends on your personal beliefs. The lower forces include Fallen Angels, Demons, Devils and Satan. Just by their categorization as "lower" does not imply that these angels are evil or less powerful than the "higher" forces, although that is sometimes the case. Rather, they are lumped into this category because their existence is not as universal across the major religions. Demons These lower forces are "fallen" angels in the service of Satan. If you are one of the many people don't believe that "Satan" exists, then you might look at this group as angels doing service in the negative ethers. They inhabit Hell, or the lower energy realms. They assist with the punishment of condemned souls, or play havoc with unsuspecting incarnated souls. Many believe that "soul possession" by these Demon spirits continue even today, but are often misdiagnosed as mental illness. Devils Devils can appear in many physical forms, from animal to human. They are typically gifted with shape shifting abilities. Most of their efforts are spent on tempting the enlightened spirits of the earth plane with explicit pleasures of love, money and physical gratification. Their mission is to destroy feelings of compassion and love through planting doubt and by promoting anger. These lower forces are more powerful than the Fallen Angels. Fairies & Elves Supernatural beings who inhabit the earth and air. They are typically invisible, unless they need to interact with incarnated beings, or if the incarnated being has the gift of Divine site. These beings are most often positive and enlightened, rewarding incarnated beings, both animal and human, for goodness. Most of these spirits are assigned to protecting the nature kingdoms. The Fairy side of this group tends to play pranks, although good natured, where the Elven side is a bit more serious with their duties and interactions with humans. Both have magikal powers and love humans. Fallen Angels In the Christian belief, these are the Angels who followed Satan out of heaven and rebelled against God. In metaphysical terms, these Angels fell from divine grace when they interfered with the progression and evolution of human kind. Their penance was to live as a human and dwell in the trials and tribulations they helped to create. Some scholars calculated the number of Fallen Angels at 133 million which is about 1/3 the Angel population. The chief leaders were: Semyaz, Sariel, Azazel, and Turel. Some see falling stars as angels falling from the Divine realm. Genii Rarely heard of, these beings were originally considered to be guardians of the home and hearth, but their responsibility has grown to include all humans. They enjoy the interaction of humans with humans, especially during situations of true unconditional love, either physical or through intense mental connections. Often the more happy and balanced a person is, the strong their Genii is. It is believed that every person currently incarnated will be assigned to a Genii for protection , guiding and in some issues teaching. Grigori The Watchers sent to earth by God to instruct humans. They are eternally silent and use mental telepathy to communicate with incarnated beings. They are thought of as very large beings, taller than giants in appearance. The more popular of this group are Aramaros, who taught common sense Arakiel, they taught observance of nature Azazel who share knowledge of crafts art and cosmetics. Baraqual, who taught astrology Ezekiel, who shared knowledge of weather and weather events Gadreel, who taught about the sciences Penemue, who shared skills of writing Sariel, who brought the knowledge of the moon signs Semjaza, taught about the sun signs. Lilith A "hot" blooded female who first slept with humans and crossed the "forbidden" line of Divine intervention. She refused to bed with Adam and as a fallen angel turned to the power of Satan. She is depicted as a beautiful naked woman with the tail of a serpent. She despises children, but as part of her punishment for defiance, she was forced to bear Satan 100 children a day. Satan Satan is rather misunderstood. First off Satan isn't an angel, he was a God. Satan is the hebrew translation of the Egyptian God Set. Early Christian lore, adopted this deity and assigned his characteristics to their version of the Devil. The Devil in Christian lore, was once the ruler or head of Seraphim. He rebelled against God and was tossed out of heaven, becoming the ruler of Hades or Hell. As the enemy of goodness, the Devil rules over the evil spirits to cause havoc and chaos for the human race. Floods, storms, diseases and death are said to be created by these forces. Temptations of sinful ways and other evil desires are also associated with the influences of these forces. The Devil has many names, some of which are misconceptions, but include: Beelzebub Deliar, Duma Mastema Gadreel Sammael Satan Shekina A supreme feminine spirit, she is said to be the female aspect of creation. She is credited with being the angel of healing over evil influences and is sometimes referred to as the "Holy Spirit" in some religions. In others she is referred to as "The Fore running Angel". Her appearance: Sitting on a thrown above a cherub, she rests under the Tree of Life. Her light is 65,000 times brighter than the sun and everyone who sees here is instantly cured from disease. She has the ability to turn any evil spirit to good by her mere presence and sight. Therefore Satan and his armies go to extremes to avoid her at all costs.
