Occult Literature
Angels, Sigils and Spirits of the Seven Planets
Angelic names, sigils, zodiac signs and planetary symbols are arranged beside the names and characters of Olympic spirits. Waite identifies Plate II as a comparison drawing on the Magical Elements attributed to Peter de Abano, Arbatel of Magic and the Red Dragon. The rows include Michael, Gabriel and Raphael alongside Och, Phul and Ophiel. The plate brings several textual traditions together rather than reproducing one universal planetary alphabet.
