Hierarchy of Angels - Your Angel Network

The Hierarchy of Angels also known as the Angel Network, this Hierarchy within the Angelic Realm is mirrored throughout the rest of the universe. The Angel community is the perfect example of this hierarchal order and structure.

(The Blue Text below are links that will move you to specific areas quickly, making referencing that much easier)

On this page you will find a discussion around your angel network, on each of the following spheres in the Angelic Sphere:

The Christian Hierarchy of Angels including:
The Jewish Angelic Hierarchy
The Kabalistic Angelic Hierarchy

Your Angel Network - The Christian Angelic Hierarchy

The nine orders or choirs of angels in the Hierarchy of Angels are divided into three hierarchies, each of which is divided into three orders: the highest, the intermediate and the lower. Each section of the community has its own purpose and energy.

In the table below the left hierarchal organization of Angels are according to Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in the Fourth or Fifth century, in his book "The Celestial Hierarchy" and is considered the standard in the Western World.

In the right table is the Hierarchal organization of Angels from the comparative study of the Old Testament and New Testament passages, including their etymology (history of the words) and semantics, several theological works (which contain variations) and esoteric Christian teachings.

The First Hierarchal Sphere

Heavenly Counselors - (Old Testament sources)

Hierarchy of Angels Dionysius the Areopagite	Hierarchy of Angels Old and New Testament
1 - Seraphim	Seraphim
2 - Cherubim	Cherubim
3 - Thrones	Ophanim (Thrones/Wheels)

The Second Hierarchal Sphere

Heavenly Governors - (New Testament sources)

Hierarchy of Angels Dionysius the Areopagite	Hierarchy of Angels Old and New Testament
4 - Dominions	Thrones (Greek language - thronos)
5 - Virtues	Dominions (Greek language - kuriotes)
6 - Powers	Principalities (Greek language - arche)

The Third Hierarchal Sphere

Heavenly Messengers

Hierarchy of Angels Dionysius the Areopagite	Hierarchy of Angels Old and New Testament
7 - Principalities	Powers (Greek language - exousia)
8 - Archangels	Archangels
9 - Angels	Angels

Personally I like to add the Elemental Kingdom to the Angel Network just below the angels and don't forget your own personal helper from the Angelic Kingdom... your Guardian Angel!

The Jewish Angelic Hierarchy

According to Jewish Encyclopedia, "Angelology", Maimonides, in his "Yad ha-Chazakah: Yesodei ha-Torah", states there are ten hierarchal ranks of Angels in the Jewish Angelic Hierarchy, and as above the Angel Network following begins at the highest rank.

Rank	Angel	Notes
1.	Chayot Ha Kadesh
2.	Ophanim
3.	Erelim	See Isaiah 33:7
4.	Hashmallim	See Ezekiel 1:4
5.	Seraphim
6.	Malakhim	Messengers, Angels
7.	Elohim	"Godly Beings"
8.	Bene Elohim	"Sons of Godly Beings"
9.	Cherubim	See Talmud Hagigah 13b
10.	Ishim	"Manlike Beings", see Daniel 10:5

The Kabalistic Angelic Hierarchy

Tree Of Life

The Tree of Life is one of the most familiar of the Sacred Geometry Symbols. The structure of the Tree of Life is connected to the sacred teachings of the Jewish Kabala. The Tree of Life describes the descent of the divine into the manifest world, and methods by which the divine union may be attained in this life. It can be viewed as a map of the human psyche, and of the workings of creation, both manifest and not.

According to the Kabala as described by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn the Angel Network, Angelic Hierarchy is as follows:

There are ten Archangels, each commanding one of the choirs (orders) of angels and corresponding to one of the Sephirot as seen in the "Tree of Life" above. As you can see this hierarchal layout is very similar to the Jewish Angelic Hierarchy.

Rank	Choir of Angels	Translation	Archangel	Sephirah
1.	Chayot Ha Kadesh	Living Ones	Metatron	Keter (Crown)
2.	Ophanim	Wheels	Raziel	Chokmah (Wisdom)
3.	Erelim	Thrones	Tzaphkiel	Binah (Understanding or Intelligence)
4.	Hashmallim	Brilliant Ones	Tzadkiel	Chesed (Mercy or Grace)
5.	Seraphim	Fiery Serpents	Khamael	Gevurah (Severity or Power)
6.	Malakhim	Messengers, Angels	Raphael	Tipheret (Beauty)
7.	Elohim	Godly Beings	Haniel	Netzach (Victory or Constancy)
8.	Bene Elohim	Sons of Godly Beings	Michael	Hod (Glory or Majesty)
9.	Cherubim	Strong Ones	Gabriel	Yesod (Foundation)
10.	Ishim	Souls of Fire	Sandalphon	Malkut (Kingdom)
