Realms

The first sphere would be an intellectual or mental realm of divine beings without physical body which instill divine light unto inferior orders, and distribute duties to all of them.

The second realm belongs to worldly angels, which are divided into many orders and govern planes and stars shinning in sky of divers dimensions. There is a direct relation between the seven known planets at that time and the number of angelic domains, being each of them with their peculiar species and subdivisions. Thus the sun has a conglomerate of solar beings; corporations of angelic beings govern the astrologic relations having for each small aspect an assigned entity, as well for planets and men’s nations. They take care of the destinies of men with skilled beings.

Every one of four elements has an entrusted angelic being furthermore divided by sets of qualities like fire, water, air, earth and oriental, occidental, meridional, septentrional (northern). Hence the fiery beings follow the mind, the contemplation of sublime things; the aerial follow the reason, the rationality; the watery following the imagination, the voluptuous life; the earthly following nature, favor vegetable nature.

They assist everywhere on Earth, rule over large or small places, have unbounded bodies by space and time and receive the direction of the heaven. They are gods, goddesses and demigods of woods, country gods, satyrs, familiar spirits, fairies of fountains and woods, nymphs of the sea, naiads, nereids, dryads, hamadryades,pegasides (nymphs of wells and brooks^[159]), geniis, hobgoblins, the deities Agape (Eros), Pales, Camenae, Muses and the Graces. In this list Agrippa still includes some unusual names such as heliconides, candalides, mionides, and dodonas, which today denominate scientific genera of moths or butterflies, however in cultures, like the Mesoamerican, the butterfly is associated with manifestation of spirits, of the soul and of the "Black Sun" in the underworld.^{[160] [161]} Megaera, one of the Greek goddesses Erinyes, also is the denomination of some species of moths. Greek, Roman and central Asiatic tales tell that human soul leaves the body with shape of a butterfly,^[99] while the writer Castaneda portraits the vision of a moth as a right expression of the “Spirit”.^[70][162]

As to the third domain, proceeds Agrippa, some of these beings become corporeal and mortal, whose bodies are begotten and die, yet to be long lived. They occupy the inferior world, four most malevolent kings rule over others, according to the four parts of the world and under these many princes govern legions. Hence the Gorgons, the Erinyes and Cerberus belong to this kind of spirits. They plot, endeavor mischief, hid and open violence. They appreciate all things done wickedly and competitively.^[163]
