-'''[[Qlippoth]]''' (also spelled '''Klipot''' or '''Qliphoth''') are the representation of evil or impure spiritual forces in [[Judaism|Jewish]] mystical [[Kabbalah]]. They are the opposites of the [[sefirot]]. The schema commonly utilized to visualize the qlippoth is known as the [[Tree of Death]] (sometimes, "Tree of Knowledge") instead of the [[Tree of Life]], where the sefirot reside. Many [[occultist]]s have interpreted the qlippoth in different ways, depending on their personal cosmological beliefs as well as their personal experiences working with qlippothic energies. In broad terms, the qlippoth are the left-over remains of a previous incarnation of the universe in which we live. They represent shadows of a distant cosmic past which sometimes influence our present world.
+The '''[[Hierarchy of Hell]]''' represents the organizational structure of [[Hell]] as envisioned by [[occult]] authors in their [[grimoire]]s concerning [[demon]]s, especially [[Goetic demon]]s. Depending on the source, different authors ascribe varying ranks and positions to different infernal spirits. The best sources for this information are ''[[The Grand Grimoire]]'' and the ''[[Lesser Key of Solomon]]''. The concept of the hierarchy and the categorization of spirits into various ranks seems to have been a serious preoccupation with the early authors of occult literature. Nearly every book on magic mentions at least a few demons and attempts to assign them a structure analogous to governments common in Europe at the time. They are all monarchical in nature.

+In most works dealing with the 72 [[Goetic demon]]s, there is a rigid hierarchical structure for the demons, grouping each of them into ranks of nobility (including a knight and presidents). [[Occultist]] author [[Travis McHenry]] further explored these demonic ranks in his book ''[[The Grimoire of Heaven and Hell]]'', giving the reasons various demons were assigned to their specific class of nobility.
