Leda is a mortal Aetolian princess who becomes queen consort of Sparta by marriage to King Tyndareus.

In modern esoteric/Theosophical literature he is also depicted as an advanced spiritual teacher in a hidden hierarchy, a distinct framing from the classical Buddhist accounts.
Malkuth is the tenth sefirah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the lowest sphere representing the manifest world or 'Kingdom'.

Nisroch is a theonym attested in the Hebrew Bible as a god of Assyria whose temple is the scene of King Sennacherib's assassination (2 Kings 19:37; Isaiah 37:38). Modern scholarship finds no Mesopotamian deity securely attested under this name and generally treats the biblical reading as likely corrupt; post-biblical traditions recast Nisroch variously as a wooden idol (Talmudic legend), a named demon in early-modern demonologies, and a Victorian-era label misapplied to excavated eagle-headed protective figures.
Orias (also spelled Oriax) is a named spirit from grimoire-style demonological catalogues, described as a Great Marquis who commands thirty legions and is credited with teaching astrological virtues, granting dignities and favors, and transforming men.

Patience Worth is an alleged disembodied personality that was communicated through the medium Pearl Lenore Curran beginning in 1913. Credited with producing novels, poetry, and prose via Curran (initially during Ouija-board sessions), Patience Worth was presented as a 17th‑century English woman and drew both popular interest and skeptical psychological critique.
Phaethon (Ancient Greek: Φαέθων, "radiant") is a mythic youth of Greek tradition, usually described as the son of the sun‑god Helios and the Oceanid Clymene, who borrows his father's sun‑chariot for a single day, loses control, produces cosmic disorder (scorching and freezing of the earth), and is killed by Zeus' thunderbolt; his death and his sisters' mourning supply etiologies for amber and other natural phenomena.
Phenex is a Goetic spirit listed in The Lesser Key of Solomon as a Great Marquis of Hell who appears like the mythical phoenix, sings with a child's voice, governs twenty legions, and is said to teach sciences and poetry when compelled into human form.

In Kabbalistic and later Western esoteric frameworks the qliphoth (singular qliphah) are the impure or oppositional spiritual forces that mirror and invert the sefirot; they belong to the metaphysical realm called the Sitra Achra and are later personified and mapped by Hermetic Qabalah traditions.
Qlippoth (Hebrew קְלִיפּוֹת, qəlippōṯ, singular qəlippā) are the "husks" or "shells" in Jewish mystical literature that constitute the impure, obscuring counterpart to the sefirot.

Rahovart is an infernal being named in Collin de Plancy’s Dictionnaire Infernal (1818), which cites an earlier Renaissance moralité attributed to Durzel.

Sachiel is a named angelic intelligence attested in Jewish and later Western occult sources, functioning as a planetary correspondent for Jupiter and associated with wealth, abundance, charity, and Thursday. The name is a product of textual transmission and conflation in medieval occult books and appears in talismanic and grimoire contexts rather than as a narrative visionary figure.

The figure functions mainly as an eponymous ancestress (mother of Taras by Poseidon) and the toponym anchors springs and local cultic/occupational memory; later herbalists and early modern medical writers use the name for orchids and sexual remedies.
Seere is a named entry in modern listings of entities drawn from the goetic grimoire tradition, appearing in compilations such as the Ars Goetia. The supplied sources present Seere only as a catalogue entry name and do not provide descriptive, ritual, or folkloric detail for the being itself.
Serapis Bey is presented in modern Theosophical and Ascended Master movements as an Ascended Master and the Chohan (lord) of the Fourth Ray, described in these traditions as overseeing the Ascension Temple and guiding students in the qualities associated with that ray (purity, discipline, mastery).
