Pillar hubs of the Academy

Each pillar gathers a complete tradition: every named spirit, deity or angel with the courses, grimoires and compendium articles that study them.

  • Ars Goetia — The Ars Goetia is the first book of the Lemegeton, or Lesser Key of Solomon, a seventeenth-century grimoire cataloguing 72 spirits traditionally called demons. Each entry gives the spirit's name, rank, legions, seal and office — the specific field of knowledge or capability it teaches. This pillar indexes all 72 Goetic demons with a study article, a course and a grimoire for each, treating them as intelligences to be worked with respectfully rather than forces to be commanded or feared.
  • Demonology — Demonology is the systematic study of demons: their names, hierarchies, offices and the historical texts that describe them. It spans theological demonology, which classified spirits within a religious cosmology, and practical demonology, which works with them directly through grimoire method. This pillar is a structured curriculum rather than a list — the major spirits, the primary source texts, the ranking systems, and a course, grimoire and article for each intelligence studied.
  • Shem HaMephorash Angels — The Shem HaMephorash is the seventy-two-fold name of God derived in Kabbalistic tradition from three verses of Exodus 14, read boustrophedon to produce seventy-two three-letter units. Each unit, suffixed with -el or -iah, names an angel with a defined field of influence, a governing psalm verse and a five-degree segment of the zodiac that ties it to specific calendar days. This pillar indexes all 72 angels with their duties, their calendar windows and the attunement courses, grimoires and articles that study them.
  • Olympic Spirits — The Olympic Spirits are the seven planetary governors named in the Arbatel of Magic, published at Basel in 1575: Aratron of Saturn, Bethor of Jupiter, Phaleg of Mars, Och of the Sun, Hagith of Venus, Ophiel of Mercury and Phul of the Moon. Between them they govern 196 provinces of Olympus and rule the world in succession over a cycle of 490 years. This pillar gives each spirit its planet, province, seal, timing and the courses, grimoires and articles that teach it.
  • Norse Deities — The Norse gods fall into two families: the Aesir, the sovereign and martial powers centred on Odin, Thor, Frigg, Tyr and Heimdall, and the Vanir, the fertility and prosperity powers centred on Njord, Freyr and Freyja, joined after the Aesir-Vanir war. They are known chiefly from the Poetic Edda, Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda and the sagas, all written down in thirteenth-century Iceland. This pillar covers the full pantheon deity by deity, with the sources, the modern devotional revival, and a study article, course or grimoire for each.
  • Celtic Deities — The Celtic gods are not one pantheon but several regional ones: the Irish Tuatha De Danann, including the Dagda, the Morrigan, Brigid, Lugh and Danu; the Welsh figures of the Mabinogi such as Rhiannon, Arawn and Cerridwen; and the Gaulish and British deities known largely from Roman-era inscriptions. They survive through medieval Irish and Welsh manuscripts, folklore and archaeology rather than through any single scripture. This pillar covers each deity with its sources, domain and the courses, grimoires and articles that study it.
  • Greek Deities — The Greek gods are honoured today within Hellenic polytheism, a living reconstructionist tradition built on the same ritual logic the ancients used: kharis, the reciprocal exchange of honour and favour. Practice distinguishes the Olympian gods, approached in daylight with raised hands and shared offerings, from the chthonic powers such as Hecate, Persephone and Hades, approached at night with poured, unshared offerings. This pillar covers the pantheon deity by deity, with ritual method, sources and the courses, grimoires and articles that teach each one.
