Kasdeja, who seems to have been the physician of the Watchers and maker
of strange brews, is an enigmatic figure on whom little can be found. What
is said about him in the Books of Enoch seems to be his only
memorialization 'in print' as it were. There is one reference that I have come
across which may be a clue as to his origins. This is a reference made to the
Kassidim, which is another name for the Chaldeans. So perhaps the good
Dr. Kasdeja was a physician with magian training.

Pages on the web sometimes have a nasty habit of disappearing. It is with that thought in mind that the articles presented here are copies of information that I have collected that may or may not be on a
currently active page. It is not my intention to steal other people's work, but
to put it into a compendium where those who are interested can connect to
this information in one place. Links that are still verifiable are included
with the article.

WARNING!

Due to the nature of the materials here, no one under 18 is allowed.
Whatever you do with the information contained here is not my
responisibility, but yours. It is only presented as information on the
possible nature of this Watcher's knowledge and what appears to be a part of the Watcher traditions through Kasdeja's presence in Enoch and the clue we are given about his particular wisdom. It does not in any way invite the reader to partake of any substances against his or her better judgement or will. Like Azazel, Kasdeja was an alchemist -- not of metals, but of plants.
