Hierarchy of Angels- DominionsThe Dominions according to Jewish traditions, are attributed with the success or failure of nations was decided by this Order of Guardian Angels as they are the angels who preside over nations.

Dionysius claims that he Dominions (Latin: dominatio, plural: dominationes), also known as the Hashmallim hold the task of regulating the duties of lower angels.

It is only with extreme rarity that the angelic lords make themselves physically known to mortals. Instead, they quietly concern themselves with the details of existence.

The Dominions are believed to look like divinely beautiful humans with a pair of feathered wings, much like the common representation of Angels, wearing long albs, or gowns reaching to their feet, hitched with a golden belt.

The Dominions are physically characterized from other groups as wielding orbs of light fastened to the heads of their sceptres or on the pommel of their swords.
