How do you distinguish Planetary Intelligences, Planetary Spirits, and Olympic Spirits in real practice?

I’ve been studying the differences between Planetary Intelligences, Planetary Spirits, and the Olympic Spirits, both in theory and in ritual application.


In many texts, the Planetary Intelligence seems to represent the ordering, harmonizing, and elevated current of the planet, while the Planetary Spirit appears as its more raw, forceful, and unstable expression. The Olympic Spirit, however, often feels like something different from both: not merely an “intelligence” and not merely an unshaped force, but the planetary power as it operates concretely in nature and reality.


So my question is for those who work practically with these currents: In your actual experience, how do you distinguish the contact, manifestation, or effects of a Planetary Intelligence from a Planetary Spirit, and both from an Olympic Spirit?


Do they feel different in ritual atmosphere, results, dreams, omens, or the kind of movement they produce in life? And do you see the Olympic Spirits as governors of the planet in a more “natural” and operational sense, rather than strictly within the same hierarchy as the classical planetary intelligences and spirits?

So far I have not noticed a difference on ambient feeling. Solar spirits tend to increase the temperature, saturnian the opposite. Olympic Spirits tend to be more "nice" on their energy while intelligences seem to be always in a hurry. Planetary spirits are kind of like in the middle. In the long run all of them do things and are effective. Intelligences so far are the best to get things done fast.

Would you place the Olympick Spirits inside the same hierarchy as the classical planetary spirits and intelligences, or more as governors of the current in the sense the Arbatel presents them?
