1) is the name of klepoth related to the concept of qliphoth? are the qliphoth in any way related to thoth?
2) are the inferior spirits mentioned representative or related to organs, possibly as a medical text obsfucation, or symbolic, or like the asian theories of associating feelings and luck to organs. Mersilde certainly looks like a uterus. some certainly resemble organ diagrams as if they were of the flow of the fluids etc or shapes of organs. perhaps frutimere as the intestines or bowels. In this way we could see the 3 superior spirits lucifer, beelzebub and astaroth as the "organs" of the head/mind/brain/soul/will/etc.

pic mostly unrelated, but not totally so.
I see I have forgotten this is a slow board.

Could be? There are a shitton of linguistic corruptions in grimoires. Hell, the Grimoirum Verum calls Beelzebub "Beelzebuth."

Sorry, I should have kept going with my post.

In regards to #2, I do recall in another book (possibly one of the Keys of Solomon? Or was it the Secrets of Albertus Magnus?) there was a link made between either spirits or planets, and the organs/senses. So I don't see why there couldn't be ties there.
But I haven't really gone too far in-depth with it yet, and quite frankly the ceremonial magic stuff kind of bores me. Still, never know when it'll come in handy, huh?
