In some respects, the planetary intelligence many be thought of as the positive aspect of a planet's energy, while the planetary spirits embody the negative aspects of a planet's energy. Through the many centuries of scholarship on this topic, these positive and negative traits have been conflated into [[angel]]s and [[demon]]s, although they are not explicitly good or evil. | In some respects, the planetary intelligence many be thought of as the positive aspect of a planet's energy, while the planetary spirits embody the negative aspects of a planet's energy.

Most [[magician]]s view these intelligences as somewhat violent in their natures, being possessed of a thought-process which exists completely outside the capabilities of mortal humans to comprehend. Their power and abilities are similar to the fictional "old ones" found in the writings of [[H.P. Lovecraft]], which imagines cosmic gods who are blind and insane, causing madness among any human who makes contact with them. Most ceremonial magicians are extremely wary of working with the planetary intelligences and [[planetary spirit]]s. | |||
In his book, ''The Practice of Magical Evocation'', [[occultist]] Franz Bardon stated: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
"These intelligences ... are not at all well-disposed towards human beings. It takes great effort to control them, and only a very competent magician will be able to succeed in bringing them completely under his control." | |||

Planetary intelligences are invoked through [[ritual magic]] to control the forces of the planetary spirit, specifically in the creation of astrological [[talisman]]s. The planetary intelligences are also formally invoked to help ameliorate poorly dignified planets in a natal chart. | Planetary intelligences are invoked through [[ritual magic]] to control the forces of the planetary spirit, specifically in the creation of astrological [[talisman]]s.
