Paths to Power

The Book of Spirits - Concerning the Magick of the Planetary Olympic Spirits.

Planetary Olympic Spirits are esoteric entities associated with the seven classical planets of ancient astrology: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Moon. These spirits are central to Renaissance magic traditions and notably featured in texts like the Arbatel de Magia Veterum, a 16th-century grimoire illuminating their significance. Each spirit governs distinct celestial influences that correspond with various human endeavors and spiritual states. For instance, Bethor is linked to Jupiter and is believed to bestow wealth and expansion; while Phaleg corresponds with Mars, guiding matters of conflict and bravery. Practitioners invoke these spirits through meticulous rituals intended for divine communication or gaining insights into the cosmos' higher truths. Aligning with Hermetic principles and the cosmology of their time, Olympic Spirits embody an intricate interplay between celestial wisdom and terrestrial life—serving as intermediaries for achieving both mundane desires and profound philosophical understanding.

It may seem strange that this Path Book is dealing with the Planetary Olympic Spirits. Well not so, as the Spirits are under the domain of the Planetary Archangels, and therefore they may be evoked through the archangels.

The Arbatel of Magick, published at Basle in 1575 and translated by Robert Turner, 1655, was originally written in Latin and believed to be of Christian origin, produced in Italy by an unknown author, and is one of the lesser known Grimoires of Magick.

The Arbatel of Magick writes of the Olympian spirits: "They are called Olympick spirits, which do inhabit in the firmament, and in the stars of the firmament: and the office of these spirits is to declare destinies, and to administer fatal Charms, so far forth as God pleaseth to permit them." The interesting fact is that the Arbatel introduces for the first time the concept of Olympic Spirits who had never previously been mentioned in other Grimoire up to that date.

The Olympic Spirits who under God, presides over the natural world. There are seven chief Olympic spirits, each corresponding one each of the planets of our solar system, and having under them a certain number of provinces being 196 in number which using the principle of numerology equals 7 ( 7 Olympic Spirits, 7 Planets). We are also informed that Aratron has 49 provinces; Bethor, 42; Phaleg 35; Och, 28; Hagith, 21; Ophiel, 14; and Phul, 7. Each of the Olympic spirits rules alternately for 490 years. By applying these calculations the book informs us that Bethor ruled from 60bc to 430ad, Phaleg ruled until 920ad, then Och until 1410, Haggith ruled until 1900. Therefore, the current ruler is Ophiel.

This work introduces the reader to the Magick of the Olympic Spirit, who are under the domain of the Archangels and gives simple but effective ritual to perform to attract the powers of the Spirits.
