I am trying to find an accurate list of which Goetic spirits are ruled by what kings. I also found sources listing the zodiac decans but I don’t know how to place those with what direction. I have Agrippa’s (supposed) list. But would appreciate help

On the internet many posters do not use their real names - and may lie about their skills and connections.

I wonder if spirits do the same.

About 1900 the spiritualist church was having a lot of trouble with lying spirits. Eventually the church was given a password. If the newly arrived spirit did not know the password it was assumed to be a lying spirit. I am amazed.

The real name is supposed to give power over the entity - but that seems illusory as all the names I have met are functional. That is necessary in hierarchies as individual spirits get promoted to new positions.

I like to test/measure every spirit I meet - but I have met very few humans that do that

Hence I have very little faith in human or spirit accounts of spirits and hierarchies

Amor makes some good points that track with my own skepticism, but Agrippa is one of those more-or-less authoritative sources (if only because so many copied from him). Skinner's "Complete Magician's Tables" has some, well, tables, based on a couple sources. Hulse's "The Western Mysteries" also has several charts and tables related to the various names, seals, and whatnot for various angels and demons.

I read the tables, not much info there on what I am looking for
