In my view he occupies both a place on the Qlippothic tree and on the tree of life.
I believe that Kamael, the Archangel of Geburah, is actually a variant of Samael, which would be the Qliphoth of Hod. The latter usual translates to "The Venom of God". Some hold he is the counterpart of Lilith.
Kamael as I understand it was a deliberate mistranslation of samael by Mathers to keep his students safe from accessing samaels darkside.

I tend that way, though I think one can be scientific in approach. The "science" aspect often advertised can be traced on the one hand to a medieval conception of general knowledge and on the other to the Victorian magical attempts legitimize certain occult philosophies as well as compete with the more materialist progressive and Darwinistic attitudes of their time.
The name Kamael goes at least back to Pseudo-Dyonisius, and I believe he appears in Agrippa as an angel of Mars. However, Mathers like to play games, so there might be a formula or even a booby trap there.
If it is written with a Samech it can be both S or K like the Western C.

I agree with JK, the Occult is art not a science, no book for written rules and guidelines, its more a belief and faith in what we see. So anything can occupy space of something else if we can see and learn from it.
