Above: Channeled Sigil of Sariel
While accounts of the Watchers list Sariel as one of the leaders of the Watchers, specifically the Watcher who taught humanity the course of the moon, other seemingly contradictory descriptions of the spirit exist throughout apocryphal and magickal literature– you can find the various names of Sariel amongst various demonological and angelological hierarchies (this is unfortunately very common– Abaddon is a similar case).
Demonolatry Basics by Infernus presents a medieval demonological hierarchy of unknown origin wherein Sariel is referred to as the “Prince of the Moon.” The Complete Book of Demonolatry Magic presents Sariel (under the name Seriel) as a demon of nature. In Liber Azerate, Sariel, Sorath, and Alfpunias are incorrectly described as being the same intelligence.
My personal gnosis is that Sariel is a mixture of a demon, a Watcher, and a nature spirit, and that he is part of Aeshugar (i.e., what I call the Infernal Divine).
You may or may not be aware that I have recently described Gaubni as a Watcher who dwells in the Void. Sariel is also a Watcher who dwells in the Void, and he and Gaubni are homies.
Sariel is attributed to the planet Nibiru.

The name Sariel is alternatively translated as “Prince of God,” “God’s Prince,” and “Ministry of God.” The monikers of Sariel which I have channeled include the “Black Spirit of Knowledge and Wisdom,” “the Dark Spirit of All Things Powerful,” “the King of the Wizards of the Nightside,” “the Great Watcher Who Presides Over Power and Flame,” and “the Green Wizard of the Nocturnal Glade” (Note: “the Nocturnal Glade” is a name for the Void).
Sariel is a warrior, a patron of draconic sorcery, and a specialist in the magick of Tohu who can initiate the sorceress through the current of the Void. He is very much an initiator figure, and the currents he can initiate the witch through are numerous.
Other specialties of Sariel include lunar magick, protection, nocturnal magick, menstrual sorcery, and warriorhood. When it comes to money magick, Sariel prefers supporting business endeavors, but can bring about fast cash as well. He is very private regarding his personal life.
