Line 1:

[[Samyaza]] or '''Šamayazzu''', also called '''Yaqum''', is the Watcher of leadership, courage, pharmacy, herbalism, and natural magic. He is the first [[Watchers#Dekadarchs|Dekadarch]]. He is one of the best-known Watchers in the [[Satano-Grigorist]] tradition, as well as one of the few Watchers who are relatively well-known among occult-inclined ''[[nikaru|nikarūma]]''. He is a very popular choice for ''nikaru'' occultists who dabble in work with the Watchers.

== Name ==

Line 18:

Only some of these variants of Samyaza's name are accepted by the [[Grigorist Temple of Satanael]]. Most of them are listed below.

:'''Acceptable variants:''' Samayazzu, Samyaza, Samyazaz, Samyazazu, Samyazu, Samyazu, Samyazzu, Šamayaza (Shamayaza), Šamayazzu (Shamayazzu), and Šamyaza (Shamyaza).

=== Other aliases and conflations ===

In some texts, Samyaza is referred to as simply Uzza or Ouza ("power"). These names, however, may also sometimes be applied to other beings. A few obscure online lists report the names Tanvir and Onik as alternate names of Samyaza, but no source has been found for these claims, and no known ancient texts apply these names to him.

He is sometimes wrongly conflated with [[Azazel]] (Satanael), the Watcher [[Asael]], or even the angel [[Samael]]. Some [[neo-occultism|neo-occultists]] and new-age mystics envision Samyaza and Azazel as aspects of one composite being, usually called Shemyazazel. These interpretations are baseless and rejected by Satano-Grigorists.

=== Titles and epithets ===

Samyaza has a few titles and epithets, usually used during prayer or invocation. These include "Chief of the Watchers" and "Great Herbalist."
