FAQ page
This page answers frequently asked questions about a specific subject from a Satano-Grigorist perspective. For the main article, see Watchers.
Who are the Watchers?
The Watchers are 200 fallen angels who rebelled against Yahweh to pursue their own desires, which involved incarnating on earth, teaching forbidden knowledge, and having sexual relations with humans.
Are the Watchers angels?
No, the Watchers are not angels anymore. They were angels before they rebelled against Yahweh.
Are the Watchers fallen angels?
Yes, the Watchers are fallen angels, because they were once angels but ceased to be angels when they rebelled against Yahweh.
Are the Watchers demons?
That depends on the definition of "demon" being used. Satano-Grigorists typically avoid using the term "demon" entirely, as it has no meaningful use in the Satano-Grigorist framework.
How many Watchers are there?
There are two hundred (200) Watchers.
Who is the chief (leader) of the Watchers?
Samyaza is the Chief of the Watchers.
What are Dekadarchs?
Dekadarchs are the leaders of the Watchers. Each Dekadarch leads a tribe of ten Watchers (himself and nine others), so there are twenty Dekadarchs.
Who are the twenty leaders of the Watchers?
In order, they are Samyaza, Arakiel, Asbe'el, Kokabiel, Tamiel, Ramiel, Danel, Shahaqiel, Baraqiel, Asael, Harmoniel, Matariel, Ananiel, Zaqiel, Shamsiel, Sathariel, Turiel, Yomiel, Sariel, and Penemue.
Why did the Watchers descend to earth?
They wanted to experience the physical pleasures of the world, especially sexual pleasure, and to teach their secret knowledge to humans face-to-face.
What did the Watchers teach humans?
They taught a variety of arts and technologies both physical and spiritual, including but not limited to reading and writing, metalworking, manufacture of medicines, astronomy, seafaring, mountaineering, agricultural innovations, sexual knowledge, contraception, establishment of courts of law, natural magic, defensive magic, spirit work, and several forms of divination.
Did the Watchers have children with humans?
Yes. The women they impregnated gave birth to strong and beautiful hybrid children called Nephilim.
Are the Watchers the fathers of the Nephilim?
Yes, they directly fathered the first generation of Nephilim and became the ancestors of all subsequent generations of Nephilim.
Are the Watchers mentioned in the Bible?
Yes, but they are not called "Watchers" in the Bible. Genesis 6:1-4 describes the "sons of God" taking wives from among the daughters of men and having children called Nephilim.
What apocryphal books cover the Watchers?
Mainly the First Book of Enoch, the Second Book of Enoch, the Book of Giants, and the Book of Jubilees, but there are several other books that mention them more briefly.

Are the Watchers still alive?
The bodies they incarnated with are no longer physically on earth, but they reside in the spiritual realm as immortal spiritual beings.
Are the Watchers gods?
