I'm seeking practitioners' experiences to understand the practical distinctions between three overlapping planetary hierarchies: the Seven Archangels, the Seven Olympian spirits, and the Seven Planetary Intelligences from Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy (e.g., Agiel, Jophiel, Nachiel). Agrippa derived the latter's names through numerology. What I don't understand, why did Agrippa feel the need to derive new names, when he could already work with the higher forces assigned to each planet.
Could anyone share any personal anecdotes or first-hand accounts of working with these intelligences? In practice, what unique advantages or specific outcomes do the 7 Intelligences offer that the Archangels or Olympic Spirits do not? What practical niche do they fill exactly and where do they sit in terms if hierarchy?
