An Historical Summary of Angelic Hierarchies from Part VII: The “Seven” Thrones in In Operibus Sigillo Dei Aemeth by David Richard Jones.

“This description is particularly appropriate to their placement on and derivation from the Circumference of the Sigillum, in that the Circumference itself is one great wheel and the names as drawn therefrom form both wheels about and within this larger wheel, as well as figures like unto lighting bolts.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “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”
  2. “It is also clear from these references that the description and function assigned to the Thrones became a means of accounting for the symbols and metaphysics of the visions of Ezekiel and probably to a lesser degree similar visions of Daniel.”
  3. “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.”
  4. “Again, it is not our purpose to elaborate the somewhat complicated history and understanding of these texts and their authorship, but it should be understood that until the 16th C. these texts were attributed to Dionysus the Areopagite (Acts 17), otherwise known as St. Denys, though scholarship has determined definitively that they are the work of a 4-5th C. Neoplatonic follower of Proclus.”
