-Although only 124 pages, The Grimoire of Heaven and Hell is fully illustrated with pictures and [[summoning sigil]]s for all 144 spirits commonly referenced in [[King Solomon|Solomonic]] ritual magic. The opening chapter explains the nature of [[angel]]s and [[demon]]s in a general sense, before delving into the various degrees of celestial and diabolical spirits. Most of the information in this section was collected from earlier works, relying heavily on [[Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa]]'s ''[[Three Books of Occult Philosophy]]'' and [[Athanasius Kircher]].

 The text then continues to discuss the angels of the [[Shem HaMephorash]] and the [[Goetic demon]]s in more depth. This opening chapter also covers the [[Hierarchy of Hell]] and the [[Hierarchy of angels]], it is the first book to explore the theology behind the Goetic demons as [[fallen angel]]s and the specific reason each demon has its rank.
