The εὐδαίμονες (“good spirits”) are the lowest non-corporeal entities in the Ogdoadic hierarchy of Yetziratic or Astral beings. These spirits are this the closest to the realm of matter, and while that often makes them the most useful for the magician who would produce physical effects, it also makes them the most chaotic and difficult to control as they are the farthest realm of spirits from the Divine Unity.
The Intelligences and Spirits represent in different modes the essential characters of their spheres. Thus [Aschia] is lofty, silent and remote, and [Abethes] is keenly perceptive in matters of material prosperity; [Zathanat] and [Demoros] perceive directly the needs of a moral situation, but [Zathanat] with royal mien emphasises the philosophic or religious interpretation, while [Demoros] genially assists the social aspect. Of the Intelligence and the Spirit of Mars, [Zostheme] is stern and just, [Nazirias] fiery and enthusiastic. Similarly [Baltha] radiates the effulgent light and spiritual generosity of the Sun-sphere; [Sobias], its joy and warmth. [Anaitos] is the high and inspiring Lady of Beauty; [Izethos], the translator of beauty to its more earthly connotations. [Astaphia] is the Intelligence of prophecy and of the interpretation of oracles; [Psarchias], the Spirit of all communication. Finally, [Kamaira], the Queen upon the Waters, shining with the serene radiance of the Moon above the sea, is the controlling Intelligence of the Sphere of Change, of birth, of renewal; [Ierochos] dwells within that Sphere of change, and is the veritable Spirit of that fluctuation.
