==Nine degrees of diabolical spirits==
English [[occultist]] [[Francis Barrett]], in his book ''[[The Magus]]'', gives numerous lists of demonic spirits and attempts to rank them all according to office or to their abilities. Barrett calls this the "Nine Orders of Devils."
[[Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa]], in the final volume of his ''[[Three Books of Occult Philosophy]]'', lays out nine orders of demons as the theologians of his time thought of it.
