The Hierarchy of Angels 

- Your Angel Network -

The Hierarchy of Angels also known as the Angel Network, is a ranking system that places angels into different orders, typically divided into three main spheres or choirs.

This Hierarchy within the Angelic Realm is mirrored throughout the rest of the universe. The Angel community is the perfect example of this hierarchical order and structure.

In Christian tradition, the highest order includes Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones, who serve directly in God's presence. The middle order consists of Dominions, Virtues, and Powers, while the last order includes Principalities, Archangels, and Angels.

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

1. The Christian Hierarchy of Angels including: 

• First Hierarchical Sphere 
• Second Hierarchical Sphere 
• Third Hierarchical Sphere

2. The Jewish Angelic Hierarchy 

3. 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 hierarchical 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 Hierarchical 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 mission of the first and highest in the hierarchy of angels, the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and the Thrones is to contemplate the infinite goodness of God and the proper goal of all things. The Seraphim communicate the love of God, the Cherubim communicate the truth of God, and The Thrones communicate the purpose of all things to the next hierarchy of angels.

The second in the hierarchy of Angels is the Dominions, Virtues, and Power.

Their mission is to govern the material world, control the elements, the seasons, the stars, even the sun and moon – in short, all aspects of nature.

The third in the hierarchy of Angels is the Principalities, Archangels, and Guardian Angels are closest to humanity.

The Principalities are believed to oversee nations and large groups of people, acting as guardians of the realm of Earth.

The Archangels are leaders and messengers of great importance in the world of man.  These are chief angels, with Michael and Gabriel being prominent examples. They are messengers of God who deliver his most important messages.

The Angels, might just be called "regular angels." They are guardians of people and all things physical and are the most common type of angels. These angels are sent as messengers to humanity. Personal guardian angels come from this category. Angels may protect and warn humans, as well as act as warrior.

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

The Jewish Angelic Hierarchy

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

Common ranks include the Malachim (messengers), Cherubim (guardians of divine spaces), and Ophanim (wheels, associated with visions of Ezekiel’s chariot). Angels serve as intermediaries between God and humanity, carrying out specific tasks like delivering messages and executing divine justice.

The Kabbalistic Angelic Hierarchy

Tree Of Life

According to the Kabbala 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 hierarchical layout is very similar to the Jewish Angelic Hierarchy.
