I have always been a fan of the Katana.I know that the Japanese did horrible things with these swords but I have certain drawing towards them. The same could be said about the Roman Gladius. Has anyone else felt this driving force that I’m assuming is Azazel?
There isn’t a type of sword that horrible things were not done with. That is the point of a sword.
The Sword is more tied with close quarters and executions than any other weapon. Should it be more connected to Azreal? The Angel of Death? Are Azreal and Azazel linked? I only speculate out of curiosity.
I am unsure why you are connecting swords to Azazel. In his mythology, as the leader of the Watchers, it says he introduced weapons to humanity, but I don’t recall anything tying him specifically to swords. I mean, he was also said to be responsible for giving us make-up…
Gotta disagree with you there actually. From what I have seen it does specifically mention swords and Shields and such. But yes also makeup. Which is why my eyeliner is always on point.
Thank you. I have never seen swords specifically mentioned before, only weapons generally, but I guess it makes sense, since at the time the Book of Enoch was written, the main weapons would have been the sword and spear.
I always aligned with Belial and Baal in the past. after studying Azazel and how it literally gave man the knowledge of crafting blades; I cannot ignore. I can’t shake it. I am a sword fan.
Imagine opening eyes…

I peel potatoes with mine
Why the creation of sword an offensive weapon and then a shield for defense, seems kind of counterproductive. I feel this is a human translation of something more.
Research time
Shields were developed independently from swords even in cultures around the world who didn’t have swords ( such as various African tribes and Native Americans) but the offensive weapons are pretty much always developed first and then a method of defense against it.
This actually aligns well with a thought of invoking Azazel before practicing with my sword as both a way to honor him and strengthen my body for more intense workings
Same. I have a dusack (a real one, not those leather practise things) that was consecrated by Azazel that I train with and use in ritual work, but only rituals involving him.
Mine was a gift from a friend that he made, his attempt to a katana by grinding as opposed to smithing. I need to better hea treat the steel and straighten it out a bit, but it was useful enough for him to kill a deer he stalked for five days (they got so used to him that he could just walk up and strike the blow, hence the bend). I have been using it to train with for a few years now, and recently proved to be a good gardening tool as well
