[Tutorial] The 7 spirits that rule the planets and their seals

Informative post.
When we use planetary seals or perform rituals with instruments related to the planets, we do nothing but recall to us the energies and therefore spirits linked to that particular planet. The spirits belonging to the various planets are many but, like everyone, they also have a hierarchy. During a ritual in which planetary energies are used we invoke, or evoke, such spirits but we do not know what degree of evolution they have.

The spirits and their seals that I will describe today are called “head spirits”, they are the spirits that govern the 7 planets, they are among the most evolved planetary spirits.

The first spirit is ARATRON


Aratron governs the planet Saturn accordingly rules all things related to the planet. It provides excellent family spirits, reconciles underground spirits to men, teaches alchemy, magic and medicine, confers secrets for invisibility (we always mean astral invisibility), can make fertile barren earth and confers a long life. It must be evoked on Saturday, at Saturn’s hour or at the hour when the Sun rises. Its element is Earth. The color of the candles must be black.

The second spirit is BETHOR


Bethor rules the planet Jupiter therefore all things related to the planet. It can help to reach illustrious positions, it can gain riches and discover treasures, it reconciles elemental spirits to man so that they can give true answers, it can compose medicines having miraculous effects, it grants very evolved family spirits, and it is able to prolong life. Its element is fire. The colour of the candles must be blue or purple. It must be evoked on Thursday, in Jupiter’s hour.

The third spirit is PHALEG


Phaleg rules the planet Mars and all things related to the planet. He can raise the person to have great honors, helps in military affairs, gives invincibility. Its element is fire. The color of the candles must be red. He must be summoned on Tuesday, at Mars time.

The fourth spirit is OCH

Och rules the Sun Planet all things related to the planet. He can prolong life with perfect health, impart great wisdom, from excellent familiar spirits, can compose perfect medicines, can convert anything into purest of metals. Its element is fire. The colour of the candles must be yellow, orange or gold. It must be evoked on Sunday, in the hour of the Sun.

The fifth spirit is HAGITH


Hagith rules the planet Venus all things related to the planet Venus. He gives beauty, confers very faithful family spirits, rules all things related to love. Its element is earth. The color of the candles must be green. It must be evoked on Friday, in the hour of Venus.

The sixth spirit is OPHIEL

Ophiel rules the planet Mercury all things related to the planet Mercury. He provides familiar spirits, teaches all the arts. Its element is air. The colour of the candles must be yellow or light blue. It must be evoked on Wednesday, in Mercury’s hour.

The seventh spirit is PHUL

Phul rules the planet Moon all things related to the planet Moon. He can turn all metals into silver, heals from hydropsia, provides familiar spirits linked to the water element that serve men in body and visible form. Its element is water. The colour of the candles must be white or silver. It must be evoked on Monday, at the hour of the Moon.

Removed the links to the seals as they lead to some weird sharing site with ads.

Interesting...in my practice the planets are associated with certain angels and a corresponding seal related to each. I've attached an excerpt from one of the texts I study for reference.

These names have been used and reproduced for nearly 500 years, and their singular source is the Arbatel. This book presents a fully self contained system, and is all you need to work with these spirits.

That said, many people do get creative with these names. I've seen people approach them with evocation as they would a spirit from the Lemegeton. BrotherM (not Brother Moloch) wrote a detailed ritual outline here: https://wizardforums.com/threads/br...planetary-spirit-of-jupiter.3788/#post-108394

I've consecrated their sigils and used them as talismans effectively, and have also played around with them in a custom radionics machine with some interesting results.

These are usually seen as very approachable spirits for people to work with, and imo there is a lot of room for experimentation with them for this reason. Respectfully, of course. I remember someone having a pretty bad time with Hagith years ago because they wanted to be lazy and cut corners when summon her.

The planetary correspondences from both the Sefer Yetzirah and the Arbatel have historically been listed together by many sources. They aren't considered interchangeable, they're seen as different things entirely; planetary angel/archangel vs olympic spirit.

Yet another, completely different scheme of associating angels with planets. I've already seen Michael as four different planets, though Mercury is a new one. Maybe I should start collecting them somewhere as a sort of occult curiosum.

feels a bit silly to say everything, but i’d say my interests lately have been really leaning into astrology , celestial alchemy and all the corresponding spiritus and angels. I’m sure there’s an inumerable amount of things to learn but i’d like a good place to start

The most common correspondence and debate is over Michael and Raphael being associated with either the Sun or Mercury. I'm pretty sure the one with Michael/Mercury and Raphael/Sun is the oldest. The Olympic Spirits from the Arbatel and the op aren't angels.

Check out the esoteric archives link I posted to the Arbatel, that's a pretty good place to start. It's fairly short.
