Hierarchy of Angels

Light and Dark, Angels and Demons, Good and Evil - a duality that has been occupying human awareness for so long...can indeed be seen as illusory at any given moment!

In this blog, I will outline the hierarchy of Spirits that are in the Abrahamic lore referred to as Angels and/or Demons.

Illustrated Goetia shares info on some of these Spirits as though they are fallen. "The Fall", that mystic and quite a vague event, is said to have taken place a long time ago.
In my (subjective) experience, however, this fall is taking place at each moment in our minds.

No need to divide Freedom into duality. Why limit oneself to only Light or Dark?

Here we go:

The Angels are also divided into nine hierarchical so-called Orders or Choirs:

– the First Order of Angels is the Choir of the Seraphim,
– the Second Order of Angels is the Choir of the Cherubim,
– the Third Order of Angels is the Choir of Thrones,
– the Fourth Order of Angels is the Choir of Dominations,
– the Fifth Order of Angels is the Choir of Virtues,
– the Sixth Order of Angels is the Choir of Powers,
– the Seventh Order of Angels is the Choir of Principalities,
– the Eighth Order of Angels is the Choir of Archangels and
– the Ninth Order of Angels is the Choir of Angels.

The Angels of the Ninth Order are closest to the material world, and the human begins. They deliver the prayers to God and God’s answers and other messages to humans. Angels can access all other Angels at any time. They are the most caring and social to assist those who ask for help.
Goetia spirits Camio and Murmur are of this Order.

The Archangels are taken to mean “chief or leading angel”.

In the New Testament Principalities refer to one type of spiritual (metaphysical) beings which are now quite hostile to God and human beings.

The Powers or Potentates are Warrior Angels against evil defending the cosmos and humans. They are known as potentates. They fight against evil spirits who attempt to wreak chaos on human beings.
Beleth, Gaap, Uvall, Crokel belong to this Order as per Goetia.

The Virtues are known as the Spirits of Motion and control the elements. They are sometimes referred to as “the shining ones.”
In Goetia, these spirits are of this Order: Agares, Vassago, Sitri, and Barbatos.

The Dominions are Angels of Leadership. They regulate the duties of the angels, making known the commands of God.
Goetia spirits Paimon, Marchosias are of this Order.

The Thrones are the Angels of pure Humility, Peace, and Submission. They reside in the area of the cosmos where material form begins to take shape.
Purson is of this Order, and Forneus, Raum, and Murmur, as per Illustrated Goetia.

The Cherubim are the second highest in the nine hierarchies or choirs of angels. They were closely linked in God’s glory. They are manlike in appearance and double-winged and were guardians of God’s glory.

The Seraphim are the highest order or choir of angels. They are the angels who are attendants or guardians before God’s throne. Seraphim have six wings, two cover their faces, two cover their feet, and two are for flying. Seraphiel, Yahoel, Lucifer, and Gabriel are of this Order.


The spirits listed in Goetia are not dark and Angels from the tree of life are not only pure light, far from it! 

Actually, a lot of "demons" are little blond schoolgirls in comparison to certain "angels" (Seraphiel or Gabriel for example). Gabriel has killed, destroyed, and obliterated at will, i.e. committed genocide, for example. And try to summon Seraphiel and see him in his full form...well, good luck.

Good and Evil is justa subjective mental designation, nothing more.

What do you think?
