'''Samael''' ("Poison of God") is the eighth [[qlippoth]] on the [[Kabbalah|Kabbalistic]] [[Tree of Death]]. It is the shadow opposite sphere of [[Hod]], its opposing [[sefirot]] on the [[Tree of Life]].

==Etymology==
The name ''Samael'' (סמאל) is translated as "poison of God" in Hebrew. To avoid confusion with the [[fallen angel]]/[[demon]] [[Samael]], this sphere is often rendered as "the Deceivers" or the "desolation of God," which are additional designations of the angel Samael in the [[Bible]].

It is possible that there is a connection between the [[angel]] Samael and this qlippoth as there is with the qlippoth representing both [[Lilith]] and [[Belial]], but the exact nature of this is ill-defined.

==Description==
Samael is the opposite of [[Hod]], which represents splendor; but this [[qlippoth]] represents lies, false logic, and a corruption of the intellect. There is an overtone of deceit inherent in Samael, and nothing about it can be trusted. It has been compared to a radiating object whose light is so brilliant that we are unable to see what is behind it and must trust that it is pure, when in fact, it is not.

On the [[Tree of Death]], Samael is the first sphere in the Realm of Mud and Clay. This region, located at the very bottom of the Tree of Death, is described in the ''[[Zohar]]'' as a place where prayers of the unrighteous settle into the muck instead of rising to [[heaven]].

==Occult correspondences==
In [[astrology]], Samael corresponds to [[Mercury]].

Its [[demon]] ruler is Adrammelech.

In the [[tarot]], Samael is represented by the [[the Moon]] card.
