Stromata
Angels said to have become incontinent, seized by desire, and to have fallen from heaven.
Indeed, even certain angels, becoming incontinent and being seized by desire, fell down here from heaven.
that those angels who had obtained the lot above, slipping down into pleasures, told out the secrets to the women — as much of them as had come to their knowledge — while the other angels concealed them, or rather kept them for the Lord's coming.
De Cultu Feminarum
The Watcher angels of Enochic tradition who descended and taught humanity forbidden arts, including the crafts of feminine adornment
But if those same angels who uncovered both materials of this kind and their allurements—of gold, I mean, and of illustrious stones—and handed down the workings of them, and already taught among the rest the very art of the eye-paint and the dyeings of fleeces, were condemned by God, as Enoch relates—how shall we please God, rejoicing in the things of those who provoked the wrath and the animadversion of God thereby?
For those too who established them are reckoned as condemned to the penalty of death—those angels, namely, who rushed from heaven to the daughters of men, so that this ignominy too is added to woman.
Let nothing be imputed to those angels except the repudiation of heaven and the marriage of the flesh.
