Hierarchy of Angels

Traditionally this has been held to relate to an order of ranks, an immutable structure of authority, but this is a very Earth bound and mundane view.

Angels do not see themselves as separate individuals in the way humans do and this Hierarchy is held to be more of a way of defining the functioning of the Angelic realms for human understanding.

This has been almost impossible to explain because discussion gets too esoteric. All is one and one are all. I've found that some physicists seem to understand what is meant quite well.


Some lists have a different order

A traditional hierarchy of angels is ranked from lowest to highest into the following nine orders, or choirs: Angels, Archangels, Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Dominions, Thrones, Cherubim, and Seraphim.


The Nine Choirs of Angels


ANGELS OF PURE CONTEMPLATION
Govern all Creation
1. Seraphim
2. Cherubim
3. Thrones


ANGELS OF THE COSMOS
Govern all the Cosmos
4. Dominions
5. Powers
6. Virtues

ANGELS OF THE WORLD
Govern all the World
7. Principalities
8. Archangels
9. Angels

i think those who deserve or shadow deems worthy of custom ranks
should choose from the list i provided

yeah i agree, idk its kinda confusing though based on the fact that are we just gonna call undeserving members angels? then all the active important members are a custom one like one of the names or types you mentioned

i actually was thinking more along the lines of these 10 rankings

metitron for shadow
custom
custom for the current angelsd of chaos
divisoin sups should have a dual title
such as "names + seraphim"
then go to " names + cherubim"
the rest of the ranking we can devise from the list
i think in active members
and unpaid or very low ranking members could be do gooders or something else
