Description

On the 27th of October, we celebrate the Advent of Samael (סמאל).

Judaism and Christianity have attempted to remove from their traditions the presence of the Angel Samael (סמאל), yet the scriptures are clear when expressing his important role in Genesis and Revelation, two of the most important books in religion.

The Zohar, the most important book of Kabbalah, explains that Samael is the ruler of Madim [מאדים], Mars. In the Greek and Roman mythology, he is known as Mars, Ares. In Hinduism, he is Kartikeya and Kalki. He is the god of war in any religion. That war is against the causes of suffering: our defects.

The name סמאל Samael has profound meaning: it simultaneously means "the medicine of God" and "the poison of God." Both come from God (EL אל): Samael brings  medicine for the soul, and poison for our defects, egos, and vices.

Samael is the force that can aid you in your battle against your defects. The best way to do this is to meditate daily on your defects. Become serious about eliminating the causes of suffering that are within you.

Need a lot of help? Consider making a sacrifice to Samael / Ares. What can you offer in exchange for help with your suffering?
