The Celestial Hierarchy

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 25, 2009, 7:39 PM


Excerpt from "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.

Thanks a lot! It's important for me, because I've started recently to make graphic works and every good word is very very important for me.
No, the drawings are by Emil Saparevsky (the owner of Bulgarian neofolk and metal label Corvus Rec.) I made the complete design of CD booklet, I just hope that I managed to find the correct way to combine the atmosphere of Emil's drawings and Damiano's wonderful music... Thank you for your words and accepting my request on myspace. Best wishes to you!
thanks very much for the new fav!!

Your work is seriously stunning and I would be honoured if you could help me on getting a new logo for my band Master's Memorial.

Last year we went into the studio but everything went wrong and we broke up but we decided to give it another shot and are recording in two months, and would love to start over with your creative input.

Feel free to mail me here or on the myspace, thank you very much for your time.
