Azazel - Azazel According to the apocryphal Book of Enoch, Azazel was a leader of the grigori (also known as "watchers"), a group of fallen angels who mated with mortal women, giving rise to a race of giants known as the Nephilim. Azazel is particularly noteworthy among the grigori because it was he who taught men how to make weapons of war as well as teaching women how to make and wear cosmetics. Eventually, Azazel's teachings created such iniquity that God decided to destroy all life on earth with a great flood, sparing only Noah, Noah's family, and two animals of every species then in existence, all of whom escaped destruction by living for one year on an ark that God instructed Noah to build. Azazel is also.
Yom Kippur - the third for the large intermediate class. The fate of the thoroughly wicked and the thoroughly pious is determined on the spot; the destiny of the intermediate class is suspended until Yom Kippur, when the fate of everyone is sealed. The liturgical piece Unetanneh Tokef, states: God, seated on His throne to judge the world, at the same time Judge, Pleader, Expert, and Witness, opens the Book of Records. It is read, every man's signature being found therein. The great trumpet is sounded; a still, small voice is heard; the angels shudder, saying, "this is the day of judgment": for God's very ministers are not pure before God. As a shepherd musters his flock, causing them to pass under his rod, so dooes God cause every living soul to pass before.
Erast Fandorin - about Fandorin. Paul Verhoven is going to make a film about Fandorin, using the first novel of the series, Azazel. There are already several translations of Akunin works in Europe and USA. Azazel was named Winter queen in USA. The Crime Writers' Association of Britain announced Akunin as Dagger awards winner for 2003 Boris Akunins translation of the novel "Azazel" The Winter Queen.
Demon - demons mentioned in the Bible are of two classes, the "se'irim" and the "shedim." The se'irim ("hairy beings"), to which some Israelites sacrificed in the open fields are satyr-like demons, described as dancing in the wilderness (Isa. xiii. 21, xxxiv. 14), and are identical with the jinn of the Arabian woods and deserts. Possibly to the same class belongs Azazel, the goat-like demon of the wilderness (Lev. xvi. 10 et seq.), probably the chief of the se'irim, and Lilith (Isa. xxxiv. 14). Possibly "the roes and hinds of the field," by which Shulamit conjures the daughters of Jerusalem to bring her back to her lover (Cant. ii. 7, iii. 5), are faunlike spirits similar to the se'irim, though of a harmless nature. The (Job v. 23) "stones of the field"), with.
Demons and animals - according to some folkloric superstitions (they are mainly nocturnal, and besides people feared the shining of their eyes during the night). Goats were said to be preferred for the Devil, because it was believed that he took the shape of a male goat to be present in the Sabbaths, and many priests and judges of the Inquisition believed that zoophilia was practised during the Sabbath with this animal. De Lancre was a firm supporter of this idea. Some authors preferred to describe a figure more similar to a satyr, part goat, part man. As the demon Azazel was associated with a goat, it could have had an influence on this belief. The toad was believed to be used as a parody of the Christian host, being, according to what interrogators investigated.

Satyr - the Cyclopi is the only extant example of this kind of drama. The older satyrs were called Sileni, the younger Satyrisci. By the Roman poets they were often confounded with the Fauns. The symbol of the shy and timid satyr was the hare. In some districts of modern Greece the spirits known as Calicantsars offer points of resemblance to the ancient satyrs; they have goats' ears and the feet of asses or goats, are covered with hair, and love women and the dance. The herdsmen of Parnassus believe in a demon of the mountain who is lord of hares and goats. In the Authorized Version of Isa. Xiii. 25, xxxiv. 14 the word "satyr" is used to render the Hebrew sh'lrlm, "hairy ones." A kind of demon or supernatural being known.
Scapegoat - goat was offered as a burnt offering, as was the bull. The second goat was the scapegoat. The high priest placed his hands on the head of the goat and confessed the sins of the people of Israel. The goat was then led away into the wilderness, bearing the sins of the people with it, to be claimed by the fallen angel Azazel. Figuratively, a scapegoat is someone selected arbitrarily to bear blame for a calamity. See scapegoating.
Sin - also has an old present participle of esse in the word sons, sont-, which came to mean "guilty" in Latin. The root meaning would appear to be, "it is true;" that is, "the charge has been proven." The Greek word hamartia is often translated as sin in the New Testament; it means "to miss the mark" or "to miss the target". Biblical conceptions of atonement for sin Atonement for sins is discussed in the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament. Rituals for atonement occurred in the Temple in Jerusalem, and were performed by the Kohanim, priests. These services included song, prayer, offerings and animal sacrifices. The rites for Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, are prescribed in the book of Leviticus. The ritual of the scapegoat, sent into.
Names of the demons - by mentally ill persons (energumens) that were considered demon possessed, imaginative priests, etc. In this way we have Jewish names like Asmodai (Book of Tobit), Azazel (Leviticus 16:8-10), Belial (Deuteronomy 13:13, Book of Judges 19:22, Books of Samuel, part 1, 1:16, 2:12 10:27 and 25:17, and part 2 16:7 and 22:5, Books of Kings part 1, 21:10-13, Books of Chronicles, part 1, 13:7); Semitic deities like Adramelech, Baal (see Baal (demon)), Moloch, Astaroth (derived from Astarte); Greek, Roman and Egyptian names like Bifrons (See Bifrons (demon)), Lamia, Phoenix (see Phenex); and so on.

Some grimoires like The Great Book of Saint Cyprian, Le Dragon Rouge, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and The Lesser.
Mystique - in the miniseries Sabretooth #3. At the time she used the identity of deceased German secret agent Leni Zauber. Both Leni and Victor had been assigned with the assassination of a scientist in East Berlin. Raven completed the mission in place of Leni. Then she and Victor had to hide in a safe location for a while. They became lovers but she soon faked her death in order to leave him. The result of this short-lived affair was reportedly the birth of Graydon Creed, her earliest known descedant. A number of stories have reported that soon after his birth, Raven gave him for adoption. Others depict Mystique making arrangements for him from a distance. Graydon reportedly spent most of his childhood in a boarding school. Raven kept track of his activities.
