Journal History

The Celestial Hierarchy

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 25, 2009, 6:39 PM

My name is Martin Silvertant. I'm a Dutch freelance graphic designer and illustrator. I have two graphic design businesses.

My first business is called "Ba'al Graphics". The focus is graphic design and esoteric illustrations for bands with a darker sound or theme. In this business I work under my pseudonym "Médan Savamhel". The business was founded in 2006.

My second business is called "Célente Design". The focus is graphic design for alternate music genres and more commercial clients. The business was founded in 2009.

I also run a small label called "Bibliotheca Apostolica Septem Coronatorum" (BASC). With BASC I concentrate on producing unique and high quality products for excellent Black Metal bands with strictly esoteric themes. The label was founded in 2007.

In my free time I like to research various esoteric subjects, particularly about angelology, demonology, eschatology, qabalah and qliphoth. I occasionally also write about these subjects. I started writing a book called "The Occult Labyrinth", though I have no idea it will ever be done.




The Celestial Hierarchy

The following article is a an excerpt from my book "The Occult Labyrinth":

In the monotheistic religions, we acknowledge a system adopted from two original texts: the “Heavenly Hierarchies” by Dionysius, and the “Summa Theologica” by Thomas of Aquino. According to this system, there are nine celestial orders, circling around a celestial core that is God. The nine celestial orders can be divided into three triads: the Highest Triad, containing Serafs [1], Cherubs [2] and Thrones [3], the Medium Triad, containing Dominions [4], Virtues [5], and Powers [6], and the lowest choirs of the Celestial Intelligences, the Lowest Triad, containing Principalities [7], Archangels [8] and Angels [9]. Those of the Highest Triad (Serafs, Cherubs and Thrones) dwell eternally in the presence of God, and cleave to Him. They are the most exalted of the Hierarchies and are immediately about God and nearest to Him above all others. Therefore they receive the First Light, which is the unfiltered Holy Light of the Godhead. The next triad (Dominions, Virtues and Powers) receive God’s Holy Light through the first triad and reflect the Holy Light unto the third triad (Principalities, Archangels and Angels), who reflect the Holy Light unto us, mortals.

the autopsy is a scientific investigation involving more or less complete dissection of the dead body.
:iconodiumediae:
I watched Vidocq a few days ago. I’d like to use Edmund Blackadder’s words to describe my opinion about the movie: “Well it started badly anbd it tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the end the better... but apart from that, excellent.” So it was not my kind of movie, really. But I could understand the movie without having to read the undertitles, which gave me a small experience of success.
