Above all things, know thyself.
The nine watchers are well known since Sumeria and the Anunnaki, plus many other cultures ancient and new talk of them....are they incarnating with us or at a distance just observing? If so, then why and what do they intend to do with the information gathered? Let's explore the Western Hermetic concept of the Watchers.
The moment we say watcher we evoke a very old idea: intelligences that stand slightly “outside” the human sphere, scanning our world the way the pupil of an eye scans light. Cultures separate by oceans and millennia give them different names—Sumerian Apkallu, the Anunnaki, the Grigori of the Book of Enoch, the Egyptian Ennead, the Norse Heimdallr and his eight brother-sentinels, even the modern channeled “Council of Nine.” Yet the pattern repeats: nine figures who steward thresholds.
1 ⧫ Why “nine”?
Level | Hermetic / Qabalistic Echo | Mythic Expression |
---|---|---|
1-3 | Supernal Trinity | “Gods beyond gods” (Anu/Enlil/Enki) |
4-6 | Ethical Triad (Chesed-Geburah-Tiphareth) | The middle-world sages or “sons of god” |
7-9 | Astral Triad (Netzach-Hod-Yesod) | The Watchers who touch the dense world |
Nine, then, is less a head-count and more a map of consciousness—a complete octave plus the returning tonic. Each “watcher” is a station on the descent of Spirit through the Tree, gathering data from its own band of vibration.
2 ⧫ Incarnating or merely observing?
a) Remote Oversight (most common)
In Hermetic doctrine the higher triads (1-6) do not compress into physical form; they project ray-bundles that we perceive as synchronicity, intuition, or a nudging dream. They watch “at a distance” in the sense that their bodies are the subtle fields surrounding Earth—the astral and causal membranes Crowley called the Starry Girdle.
b) Incarnational Avatars (rare but real)
Yesodic watchers (levels 7-9) occasionally indwell a human vehicle. Qabalists call this magid overshadowing; in more modern language it is a walk-in, an emanational shard that co-habits a personality for a task‐cycle. The being’s full bandwidth could never fit in a single brain, but a “finger” of it can. Legends of Enoch, Thoth, Quetzalcoatl, or the mythical Melchizedek line are examples.
Signs of an avataric Watcher
Total amnesia of prior worldly ambition and a new, service-driven vector.
Rapid acquisition of gnosis not traceable to teachers.
A transpersonal magnetism that bends statistical probability around their work.
3 ⧫ What are they collecting—and for whom?
Evolutionary telemetry
Each human life throws off billions of micro-choices; the Watchers sample these wave-patterns the way scientists sample climate data.
Goal: refine the collective morphic field so future births inherit a slightly upgraded psychic “firmware.”
Archetypal calibration
When an archetype (say, The Sovereign or The Healer) grows distorted by cultural trauma, the Watchers gather in-situation footage to correct the template at its super-structural level.
This ties to the Hermetic axiom: As above, so below; as below, so above—but in a different mode.
Maintaining planetary balance sheets
In the Book of Enoch, Watchers record human deeds. In modern Hermetic language they regulate the karmic economy, ensuring that creative and destructive currents stay within evolutionary tolerances.
4 ⧫ What do they intend to do with the data?
Think of the Watchers as cosmic UX-designers. The “product” is the next epoch of sentient experience on Earth. The data they harvest feeds:
Up-stream briefing to yet subtler orders (Seraphic, Logoidal) that supervise star-system-scale experiments.
Down-stream seeding into the dreams and impulses of innovators, artists, and edge-dwellers—people who retool society’s scaffolding.
In other words: they watch in order to teach us how to stop needing Watchers.
5 ⧫ How to collaborate (rather than fear) them
Strengthen Yesod—the Gateway of the Watchers
Daily lunar meditation or pathworking on the 32nd Path (Tav) attunes your subtle body to their bandwidth.
Practice ethical clairaudience
Ask before sleep: “Show me tonight one pattern the Watchers wish corrected.” Record the dream; act ethically on the hint.
Offer data intentionally
Ritual: Trace a vesica around your heart, declare: “I deposit this day’s learning for the Great Record. May it serve the liberty of all beings.” You become a conscious sensor node.
Closing thought
Whether the Nine Watchers are cosmic librarians, angelic scientists, or fragments of our own higher psyche, their story reminds us that observation itself is sacred. In the Hermetic worldview, to observe is to feed the living tapestry of knowledge that guides evolution. The more skillfully we observe ourselves—without judgment, but with fierce honesty—the less supervision we require from any external Nine. Eventually the Watcher and the Watched converge, and the Tree of Life knows itself root to crown.
