1452	ENT_ISR_SATAN	received_as	ENT_GNO_SAMAEL	medium	Samael in Kabbalistic theology (Zohar) is the chief of the "other side" (sitra achra), the adversarial force opposing the divine — the direct reception of the Satan tradition. The Zohar explicitly identifies Samael as the great serpent/Satan figure: "Samael is the great dragon of the sea" (Zohar III.282a). The name Samael (Hebrew: "venom of God" or "blind God" in Gnostic contexts) appears in Jewish literature from the 2nd century BCE onward as an adversarial angel drawing on the Satan archetype. In the Apocalypse of Moses and the Life of Adam and Eve, Samael is identified as the devil who tempted Eve.	SRC_ZOHAR	reviewed	PER_LATE_ANTIQUE
