The Book of Enoch and Angelic Lore

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T U V W Y Z

Overview

The Book of Enoch is an ancient apocryphal text attributed to the biblical figure Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It contains one of the most detailed and expansive cosmologies of angelic beings, celestial hierarchies, and divine mysteries found in ancient writings. Revered in mystical, esoteric, and some early Christian and Jewish traditions, this sacred work outlines a profound vision of angelic activity, spiritual realms, the fall of the Watchers, and the future judgment of both heavenly and earthly forces.

Although not included in the canonical Bible (except in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church), the Book of Enoch has greatly influenced angelology, apocalyptic literature, and mystical thought across many traditions.

Authorship and Structure

Attributed to Enoch, a righteous man who “walked with God and was not, for God took him” (Genesis 5:24).
Believed to be written between 300 BCE and 100 BCE, though it likely compiles much older oral traditions.
Survives in full primarily in Ge’ez (Ethiopic), with fragments found in Aramaic, Greek, and Latin.

Key Themes and Angelic Lore

➜ The Watchers (Grigori)

A group of 200 angels sent to watch over humanity.
Led by Shemhazai and Azazel, they descend to Earth and mate with human women, producing the Nephilim—giants with great power.
These angels also teach forbidden knowledge (weapons, astrology, cosmetics, sorcery).
Their actions cause corruption, leading to divine judgment.
The Watchers are imprisoned in the Abyss (Sheol) until the Day of Judgment.

➜ The Role of Archangels

The text names seven archangels, each with specific roles:

Archangel	Function
Michael	Defender of the righteous; protector of Israel.
Gabriel	Bringer of messages; guides souls.
Raphael	Healer of Earth and humanity.
Uriel	Overseer of Tartarus; guide of lights and stars.
Raguel	Bringer of justice; reconciler of angels.
Remiel	Guide of souls to judgment.
Saraqael (Sariel)	Supervisor of spirits and fate.

These archangels actively participate in the judgment of the Watchers, restoring cosmic order.

➜ Celestial Mechanics and Divine Order

The Astronomical Book presents advanced cosmology—detailing the movements of the sun, moon, stars, and portals through which they travel.
Emphasizes divine harmony, balance, and the heavenly calendar (364-day solar year) aligned with angelic order.

Symbolism and Spiritual Interpretations

Symbol or Theme	Meaning
Fallen Watchers	Misuse of power, the temptation of pride, interference in human evolution
Nephilim	Hybrid consciousness, unchecked power without wisdom
Heavenly Tablets	Akashic Records or divine blueprint
Fire and Light	Divine purity, judgment, and angelic radiance
The Elect One / Son of Man	Messianic archetype and spiritual redeemer

Mystical and Esoteric Influence

➜ In Kabbalah & Jewish Mysticism:

Enoch is often identified with Metatron, the exalted angel and scribe of heaven.
The Book of Enoch helped shape concepts of angelic hierarchy, divine chariots (Merkabah), and celestial realms.

➜ In Early Christianity:

Influenced the New Testament, especially the Book of Jude, which quotes Enoch directly.
Contributed to apocalyptic imagery, ideas of resurrection, and final judgment.

➜ In Modern Esotericism:

Seen as a cosmic record of humanity’s spiritual journey, including past falls and future redemption.
Inspires Starseed cosmology, watcher archetypes, and sacred geometry through Enochian symbolism.

The Book of Enoch and the Akashic Records

Many metaphysical traditions view the Book of Enoch as a fragment of the Akashic Records—a preserved spiritual archive of angelic history, universal law, and soul destiny. Enoch, as the heavenly scribe, becomes a symbolic figure for the divine witness, the record keeper, and the intermediary between realms.
