Finding Spirit Names From Your Natal Chart?, A question about a method in Agrippa's Occult Philosophy Book III Options

In Book III, of Agrippa's Books of Occult Philosophy, in Chapter 26-27, there is a method to discover (supposedly) the name of a good, and a bad spirit, that has been "assigned" to you at birth.

I'm trying to do this, but I can't quite make sense of it, I'm going to be buying another translation before Christmas, and hopefully that will help clear it up, but I thought I'd try here first.

From what I can understand (which may be all wrong), the method in Chapter 26, is to take your birth chart, and starting at your Ascendant, assign in order the letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, and wherever a planet rests, that letter is part of the Spirit name. But how do you order the letters to get the name? I've figured out my seven letters, but from there, I don't know how to arrange them to find the name.

I've also read two different explanations on getting the name of the bad spirit, one is you label the letters backwards from the Ascendant, the other is you use the letters (degrees) opposite of wherever a planet rests in your chart.

Can anyone clear this up for me?

As for chapter 27, I'm just lost, so any help there would be much appreciated.

i haven t thought a lot of this method but sounds interesting.
But let me ask you this: the arraz of the planets should be:
A. chaldeean , Luna, Mercur, Venus, Sol, Mars, Jupiter Saturn?
B. the alignment that is actuallz in the natal chart, in the order that the planets line themselves up? Luna, Saturn, Sol, etc etc etc a million possibilities

B. the alignment that is actuallz in the natal chart, in the order that the planets line themselves up? Luna, Saturn, Sol, etc etc etc a million possibilities

You're to go around the chart, using the order of the planets in your chart. So if your Moon is in the first house, Jupiter the second, and Mercury the third, your order is Moon, Jupiter, Mercury etc.

B. Alegorically, the Aries mentioned is supposed to be the Ascendent, while Libra is the descendent.

Part B would be more logical, since it would mean that each person has its own code, of the 360 possible Ascendent situations.

I agree. I think the Aries/Libra are examples, not so much you start with Aries, but that you start with the Ascendant.

Now the problem of the negative genius remains: Starting from the Ascendent but in clockwise manner, opposite to the Angel s, or in counterclocwise manner, like the angel s code , but starting counting the letters from Libra?

You can try both, I've found that starting at the Ascendant and going clockwise worked well to produce my Demon though.
