Grigorology

As a Luciferian and Demonolater, my experiences with these spirits have only left me eager to meet with and learn more from them. I’ve always had a love for the fallen angels- their stories, their wisdom, their personality- you name it. But there are those who aren’t so popular. Those who aren’t so well known. And these angels are the Grigori, the Watchers.

All we know of the Watchers are the basic stories: they were among the first to descend to earth, they fell in love with mortals, taught them the forbidden arts, and thus had sinned and were cast out of Heaven. But surely, there is much more we don’t know. Those who were cast out with Lucifer get the spotlight. They have had countless grimoires written with their names and powers and personalities, most famously by Solomon’s doing. These spirits are much more recognizable by people, even across the centuries, and the ones who are most commonly worked with, and even bonded with. But what about the Watchers?

What became of these leaders? What are their stories? What do they have to offer to us, if anything anymore? Where do they reside? Perhaps they exist in the same realm as the fallen who followed Lucifer, or somewhere else entirely. Perhaps they endlessly wander between the many planes of existence, lone and free. Or maybe they really were bound and thrown into the abyss.

In any case, it’s safe to assume they don’t get much recognition for who they are and what they did for humanity. But there is so much mystery surrounding them. They fascinate me. And I’ve decided it’s time I reach out to these wandering spirits. I want to learn more about them, I want to commune with them, I want to create experiences with these mysterious fallen angels.

And so I came up with the term Grigorology- the study of the Grigori, the study of the fallen Watchers. I find that these spirits don’t quite fit in with the terms Angelology or Demonology, at least in my personal opinion. They are not angels of Heaven any longer, yet I also do not see them aligned with the alleged hierarchy of Hell and Lucifer himself. I see them as loners, as wanderers, forgotten and part of no system. They are outside both Heaven and Hell. Perhaps that is what draws me to them the most. These Watchers, once hosts of Heaven, they are now damned in sin; however, belonging to neither side. They are true Outcasts. Some could simply say that since they are fallen angels, they are automatically demons, thus they reside in Hell. But I believe there is more to the story. And I want to learn.

If anyone else out there is interested in these fallen angels, in Grigorology, I’d very much love if you’d chat with me! And yes, I highly doubt I’m the first to reach out to them, but hey…I haven’t met a single soul out there who is fascinated by them like I am. I hope I do, or at least I hope this long rant post will spark some interest in some of you. Or simply do me a favor and spread this post around. I think something great could start out of this, alongside others or even on my own!
