Hello everyone. I have a question for those who study demonology, grimoires, and occult traditions. Does anyone know if there is any research, catalog, or estimation regarding how many distinct demonic hierarchies have existed throughout history?
I'm not referring only to the well-known systems such as the Goetia, but also to hierarchies found in other grimoires, religious traditions, folk magic, medieval demonology, Renaissance occultism, and modern esoteric systems.
Has anyone ever attempted to compile or classify all these different hierarchies into a larger framework? Any books, articles, or studies on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
