Azazel is generally viewed as a Promethean figure, magickal initiator, and harbinger of philosophical insight and all manner of innovation. He is held to be a teacher of crystal magick, geology, the liberal arts, and other sciences in Hebrew lore, and he is known as one of humanity’s foremost black magickal gods as well as one of the most elevated infernal authorities.
The Yezidi have given various names for Azazel, including Melek Taus, Ta’us Melek, Izrael, and Melek Anzazel.
