The LORD God:

The LORD God is a spiritual being that can exist in the spiritual realm.

It is written: "I saw THE LORD GOD of Israel SITTING upon His throne, and all the host of heaven had stood about Him, on His right and on His left" (1 Kings 22:19).

It is written: "I was looking until when thrones were set, and THE ANCIENT OF DAYS WAS SITTING; having a covering like snow, and the hair of His head like white, pure wool; the throne like a flame of fire. And a river of fire was going out opposite His presence. Thousands of thousands were serving Him, and ten thousands of ten thousands had stood by Him" (Daniel 7:9-10).

Angels:

Angels are spiritual beings that can exist in the spiritual realm.

They can fly: "I-saw another ANGEL FLYING in mid-heaven" (Revelation 14:6). 

They can appear as men: it is written about "Mary" (John 20:11) that at the tomb "she-sees TWO ANGELS in white" (John 20:11) and in another account these two angels can be described as "TWO MEN stood-near them in gleaming clothing" (Luke 24:4).

Seraphim:

Seraphim are spiritual beings that can exist in the spiritual realm.

It is written: "I saw the LORD sitting on a high and having been exalted throne, and the house was full of His glory. And SERAPHS had stood round about Him" (Isaiah 6:1-2).

They can have six wings: "EACH ONE HAD SIX WINGS; and with two they were covering their face, and with two they were covering their feet, and with two they flew" (Isaiah 6:2).

Cherubim:

Cherubim are spiritual beings that can exist in the spiritual realm.

It is written: "the sound of the wings of the CHERUBIM was being heard as far as the outer court" (Ezekiel 10:5). 

They can have four wings: "their WINGS having been stretched out above to the FOUR; to each TWO having been joined to one another, AND TWO were covering upon their bodies" (Ezekiel 1:11).

They can have specific legs and feet: "their LEGS WERE STRAIGHT; and their FEET WERE FEATHERED, and sparks as bronze flashing like lightning, and their wings were light in weight" (Ezekiel 1:7).

They can have four faces each: "EACH of the CHERUBIM HAD FOUR FACES: the first was THE FACE OF A CHERUB, the second THE FACE OF A HUMAN, the third THE FACE OF A LION, and the fourth THE FACE OF AN EAGLE" (Ezekiel 10:14). 

They can be full of eyes: "their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were FULL OF EYES round about the four wheels of them" (Ezekiel 10:12).

Living creatures:

Living creatures are spiritual beings that can exist in the spiritual realm.

Living creatures can resemble several creatures: "the first LIVING-CREATURE (is) RESEMBLING (A) LION. And the second LIVING-CREATURE (is) RESEMBLING (A) CALF. And the third LIVING-CREATURE (is) HAVING THE FACE LIKE (OF A) MAN. And the fourth LIVING-CREATURE (is) RESEMBLING (A) FLYING EAGLE" (Revelation 4:7).

They can have six wings: "the four LIVING-CREATURES, EACH ONE (OF) THEM HAVING SIX WINGS apiece" (Revelation 4:8).

They can be full of eyes: "the four LIVING-CREATURES, EACH ONE (OF) THEM [...] ARE-FULL (OF) EYES AROUND AND INSIDE" (Revelation 4:8).

Horses:

Horses are spiritual beings that can exist in the spiritual realm.

It is written: "Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, open the eyes of the servant, and let him see.” And the LORD opened his eyes, and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of HORSES, and chariots of fire round about Elisha" (2 Kings 6:17).

It is written: "the armies in heaven were-following Him on WHITE HORSES" (Revelation 19:14).

Eagles:

Eagles are spiritual beings that can exist in the spiritual realm.

It is written: "I-saw, and I-heard one EAGLE flying in mid-heaven, saying (with a) loud voice. “Woe, woe, woe (for) the (ones) dwelling upon the earth, because-of the remaining blasts (of) the trumpet (of) the three messengers being-about to-trumpet!”" (Revelation 8:13).

Demons:

Demons are spiritual beings that can exist in the spiritual realm.

It is written: "He-cast-out many DEMONS, and was not permitting the demons TO-SPEAK, because THEY-KNEW Him" (Mark 1:34).

It is written about "(a) SPIRIT (of an) UNCLEAN DEMON" (Luke 4:33).

The expression "DEMON" can be used interchangeably with the expression "EVIL SPIRIT" (Luke 8:2), as it is written: "the twelve (were) with Him, and some women who had-been cured from EVIL SPIRITS and infirmities, Mary, the (one) being-called Magdalene, from whom seven DEMONS had-come-out" (Luke 8:1-2).

Familiar spirits:

Familiar spirits are spiritual beings that can exist in the spiritual realm.

It is written: "If a person turns to mediums and NECROMANCERS, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people" (Leviticus 20:6). 

NECROMANCERS would be known as ones calling out (the spirits of) the dead, as it is written: "When someone tells you to consult mediums and NECROMANCERS, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why CONSULT THE DEAD on behalf of the living?" (Isaiah 8:19).

The goal of NECROMANCERS would be to invoke the spirits of dead people in order to consult them. Because the Bible condemns this practice, it may be inferred that NECROMANCERS could also invoke SPIRITS OF DEMONS which may take the appearance of the SPIRITS of people who once died in order TO DECEIVE the ones wanting to contact the dead. The Bible even mentions "DECEIVING SPIRITS" (1 Timothy 4:1). Because someone may contact a NECROMANCER in order to consult a dead person that could include a dead FAMILY member, and such SPIRITS could appear instead to deceive them, these SPIRITS could be called "FAMILIAR SPIRITS".
