U<br />

udugg (utukku) A type of Babylonian DEMON who can<br />

be either good or evil. A group of evil ones are known as<br />

the Seven; they are offspring of the sky god, An, and the<br />

Earth goddess, Ki, and they act as assistants to the<br />

underworld god, Nergal. In Akkadian lore, the utukku<br />

are servants of the underworld, whose task is to fetch the<br />

sacrificial offerings made by humans, especially the<br />

BLOOD, liver, and organs of animals. <strong>The</strong> evil utukku are<br />

the ekimmu and the good ones are the shedu.<br />

Ukobach Low-ranking DEMON who invented fireworks<br />

and the art of frying food. Ukobach appears with an<br />

inflamed body. BEELZEBUB assigns him to tend the oil in<br />

the cauldrons of HELL. He throws burning coals on the<br />

souls of the damned or tortures them with flames. In lore,<br />

Ukobach is the lamp oil for the jack-o’-lantern.<br />

Um Es Sibyan Arabian DEMON who, as does LILITH, preys<br />

upon newborn children. Um Es Sibyan has the body of a<br />

chicken, the face of a human, and the chest of a camel. She<br />

flies through the air at night crying, “Warh, warh warh.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> sound is a death omen to any child who hears it. Parents<br />

can ward off the demon by sounding, “Tchlok, tchlok,<br />

tchlok” until it passes by.<br />

Uriel DEMON and wandering duke of the air. Uriel has 10<br />

chief dukes and 100 underdukes with numerous servants.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are evil, false, and deceitful, and reluctant to obey the<br />

commands of an EXORCIST. <strong>The</strong>y appear in the form of a<br />

SERPENT with a virgin’s head and face. <strong>The</strong> 10 chief dukes<br />

are Chabri, Drabros, Nartniel, Frasmiel, Brymiel, Dragon,<br />

260<br />

name of an archangel.<br />

Usiel DEMON among the 31 AERIAL SPIRITS OF SOLOMON.<br />

Usiel rules as a prince in the northwest under the command<br />

or AMENADIEL. He has 40 dukes in the daytime and<br />

40 at night, plus their many servants. All are obedient.<br />

According to King SOLOMON, Usiel and his demons have<br />

more power to hide and discover treasure than any other<br />

spirits. His main 14 dukes of the day are Abariel, Ameta,<br />

Amen, Heme, Saefer, Potiel, Saefam, Magni, Amandiel,<br />

Barsu, Gamasu, Hissain, Fabariel, and Usiniel. His main<br />

Usiel (Uziel, Uzziel) FALLEN ANGEL who is also good. In<br />

kabbalistic lore, Usiel is a fallen angel who married women<br />

and begat giants. (See WATCHERS.) In the Sefer Raziel, Usiel<br />

is a good angel who is among the seven who stand before<br />

the throne of God and the nine who are set over the four<br />

winds.<br />

Uzza (Ouza, Semyaza, Uzzah) FALLEN ANGEL. Uzza<br />

means “strength.” In 3 Enoch, Uzza is named as one of<br />

three primary ministering angels with Azael and Azza,<br />

who live in the seventh (highest) heaven (probably prior to<br />

their fall). <strong>The</strong> three object to the elevation of the prophet<br />

Enoch into the great angel Metatron and are cast out of<br />

heaven as punishment.<br />

Uzza also is a tutelary spirit of Egypt.<br />
