All things Samael

[Hekabe]

Samael has always been very near and dear to me- he popped up into my life one day and I've never been the same. I'm still not sure what he is quite yet- simply Death? Or Destruction itself? Whatever he is, he is wickedly delightful. To me, he stands for change- not always a peaceful process, sometimes a total upheaval.

Have any experience with the entity? Any thoughts on his nature? Angel, demon, Satan himself? How does he appear to you? I'd like to know how others perceive him.

I've read about Samael in the past, he is quite interesting. I don't have any experiences with him, though.

I've been having a relationship with Lilith before Samael came into my life recently. I've researched about him sometime before but I never felt any drawn to him until after he contacted me. Let me say that he scares the living crap out of me when we first met because of a dream I had about him. It wasn't a nice experience and I even threatened to banish him because of it (but that was out of anger really). I cooled off and told him I give him a chance if he tones things down a little. He did (but he's no teddy bear) but I realized through examples with having Lilith in my life that this is just one of the ways he communicates because Lilith first scared the crap out of me also, but I have grown to love her. So Samael grew on me. So I now accepted Samael into my life (yet still cautious of him since we're slowly getting to know each other. I found this whole experience odd because I never thought I would accept any male influence of worship since I before decided not to work with any male deities). Let me also say that I only honor Lilith and Samael and that's how my relationship will stay. They don't serve me, I only serve them thru worship (and that goes for all deities). Since my experience with Lilith, she doesn't like being told what to do and with Samael, he is also not the type to mess with either. They have been very helpful (and strict) in my life nonetheless, and have taught me some lessons. Weather or not he's an angel,demon or satan I don't know honestly. He has too many faces just like Lilith. To me he's a very strong presence and I view him as well as Lilith as part of the divine or one of the faces of the divine.
