Samyaza's legacy is one that etched itself into the world forever. He stood at the head of the most powerful, wise and righteous band of creatures to ever walk the face of the earth. That sort of power would corrupt any of us. If only he hadn't succumb to it, there would be no bounds to what the Watchers could have achieved.
Despite the fact that Samyaza's actions brought humanity to the brink of destruction and doomed hundreds of angels to damnation. Despite this, I don't want to fully denounce his actions.

This is an old story and it's told over and over again because it never stops speaking to our nature. An obsession with holding on to our victories at any cost can lead anyone to ruin.
Like Chazaqiel, I'm only printing 25 of these, including the ones reserved by my Patreon supporters.

Despite their obvious simplicity, a major aspect of it is always hidden. Seeing the way that both sides take on unique characteristics as you turn it in your hand is magical to me.
I created this coin to accompany the Book of Emanations and I will be creating more unique coins to accompany any future books. Each one represents the core duality that lies at the heart of the continuum of ideas expressed in the book.

To start, we should talk about the most common frustration people have when it comes to ordering things from Angelarium.net. Sometimes, packages get shipped 2-3 weeks after they were purchased.
First, let me explain why and then I'll move on to what we are doing to improve the situation.
