First Hierarchy
Zaphiel.
The holy Dominions have the power to elevate themselves and are liberated from all earthly desires
and yearnings. It is their job to regulate the duties of the angels.
Regulate angelic duties. Through them is manifested the Majesty of God. They hold an orb or sceptre
as an emblem of authority, and in Hebraic lore, the chief of this order is named Hashmal or Zadkiel.
The name of the Virtues indicate a firm and steadfast courage in all angelic activities. Known as the
"brilliant" or "shining ones," the virtues are assoicated with acts of heroism.
Work miracles on earth. They are bestowers of grace and valor.
The Powers are on the same level as the dominions and virtues and possess the power and intelligence
that is subordinate only to God. They keep the universe in balance. Camael is believed to be "chief" of
this choir.
Stop the efforts of demons to overthrow the world, or else they preside over demons, or perhaps
(according to St. Paul) they are themselves evil. Ertosi, Sammael, or Camael (depending on source)is
chief of the Powers.
The Principalities are the legions of angels who protect religions. They provide strength to the tribes
of Earth to pursue and endure their faith. Among those considered "chief" of the principalities are
Nisrock, originally and Assyrian deity considered in occult writings to be the chief chef to the Demon
Princes of Hell; and Anael, one of the seven angels of creation.
Protectors of religion. Nisroc, in Milton, is "of principalities the prime," and others, according to
various sources, are named Requel, Anael, and Cerviel.
The Archangels are "messenger which carry Divine Decrees." They carry God's messages to human
and are ultimately in command of God's armies of angels who constantly battle the Son of Darkness,
with Michael at the helm.
While Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are generally agreed to be three of the seven archangels, the
idenity of the other four is subject to debate. Possible candidates are Urile, Raguel, Zadkile,Saraqael,
Remile, Anael, Orifiel, Uzziel,, Raziel, and Metatron. The Koran only recognizes four and actually
names only two, Djibril (Gabriel) and Michael.
Guardians of people and all physical things.
The order of Angels is closest to human kind. It is the job of this order to act as guardians and
messengers, and at its helm is placed Michael, prince of the Jewish people, who leads all the angels in
their post and guardians of nations. In fact, according to Dionysius, God established the boundaries of
the nations according to the number of angels.
Guardians of people and all physical things.
