The sevenfold division as a prism for divine expression is really compelling here. What stands out is how these aren't just alternative planetary spirits but structural governors, which explains why the Arbatel placed them so centrally. The link between the sigil geometry and potential Stone Age totems is fascinating too, suggests there's continuitty in symbolic language that predates the grimoire tradition by millennia. That Och/Helios Apollo connection through archaeological evidence adds real weight to this not being just Renaissance syncretism.
I have been working on this idea for about ten years now and it seems to have legs.... I will get more into it in part two... it is amazing to see how many talismans or seals have these figures slapped on them.
