Planetary Spirit Sigils With Baleful Influences

In the Western Occult Tradition, each planet has traditionally possessed both a spirit and an intelligence: ethereal souls responsible for the baleful and beneficial influences (respectively) of the individual planet.

Each planet has traditionally possessed both a spirit and an intelligence: ethereal souls (sometimes called daemons) responsible for the baleful and beneficial influences (respectively) of the individual planet.

It was logical to occultists that the planets also possessed their own souls.
