Hierarchies Recapitulated from Part VII: The “Seven” Thrones in In Operibus Sigillo Dei Aemeth by David Richard Jones.

“Further, this correspondence would identify the Thrones with the names drawn from the Circumference and the seven Seals, the Archangels drawn from the Septagon would be the Trumpets and the planetary Angels about the pentagram would be the Angels. Compare Part I of this series where these divisions are laid out in detail.” [via, see]

Consider also:

  1. “Although there are a number of hierarchies of spiritual beings in the Sigillum, there are only three sets of letters from which these names are drawn and from these three sets, three principle groups of angelic names, one for each set. The three sets of letters are those of the Circumference, the Septagon or Holy Sevenfold Table and the Isosceles triangles within the Septagon or Mysterious Sevenfold Table.”
  2. “If these three sets of letters are correlated inward to the three angelic hierarchies given in Liber Secundus then the correspondence would be Thrones to the Circumference, Thrones to the Septagon, and Holy Sevenfold Table and Angels to the Isosceles Triangles and Mysterious Sevenfold Table.”
  3. “O God, O God, O God, Thy Name (O God,) be praised ever, from thy 7 Thrones from thy 7 Trumpets and thy 7 Angels in 7, God wrought all things”
  4. “Thrones and the divine order appear again in Dante’s unfinished Convivio or Banquet, a work reflecting his interest in ancient philosophy and modeled on the symposia of the ancient Greeks. Here we find a particular reflection of what we find in Dee and in the Spirit Actions of Liber Secundus.”
  5. “In this way, Thrones became described as various types of fiery wheels in relation to their function in the chariot of God, as in Ezekiel 1: 15–20: Now as I beheld the living creates, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Withersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels of the living creature was in the wheels. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.”
