The Spirits of Cunning Craft

The cunningmen have invoked and called upon a wide variety of spirits over the years. Perhaps the chief three of these invocations are the Grigori, or fallen angels of apocryphal lore; the Good Folk, or fae creatures; and ancestral spirits.

The Grigori

These are the leaders of 200 angels in 1 Enoch that are turned into fallen Angels because they took wives, mated with human women, and taught forbidden knowledge. Their children were a race of giants called the Nephilim.

• Araqiel (also Arakiel, Araqael, Araciel, Arqael, Sarquael, Arkiel, Arkas) taught humans the signs of the earth.
• Armaros (also Amaros) taught men the resolving of enchantments.
• Azazel taught men to make knives, swords, shields, and how to devise ornaments and cosmetics.
• Gadriel taught the art of cosmetics.
• Baraqel (Baraqiel) taught men astrology
• Chazaqiel (sometimes Ezeqeel) taught men the signs of the clouds (meteorology).
• Kokabiel (also Kakabel, Kochbiel, Kokbiel, Kabaiel, and Kochab), instructs mankind in astrology and the commanding of spirits.
• Penemue "taught mankind the art of writing with ink and paper," and taught "the children of men the bitter and the sweet and the secrets of wisdom."
• Sariel (also Suriel) taught mankind about the courses of the moon (at one time regarded as forbidden knowledge).
• Samyaza (also Shemyazaz, Shamazya, Semiaza, Shemhazi, Semyaza and Amezyarak) is one of the leaders of the fall from heaven, and taught men the governing of others and the skills of leadership.
• Shamsiel, once a guardian of Eden, teaches the signs of the sun.
