THE FIRST SPHERE
These beings operate at the highest level of the astral, closest to Divinity. Silver thinks they can manifest things bypure contemplation.
The SeraphimThey are considered angels of pure love, light, and fire. They keep the vibes around Divinity clean of negativity,and send out Divinity's vibes to the other Spheres and us, keeping the ball spinning. They shine too brilliantly formost humans to deal w/. You don't just run into them, it's an INVITATION ONLY thing.But they'll listen if you ask for their help in a ritual for humanitarian and planetary workings (especially grouprituals). Burn a white candle for Divinity and a purple candle for the Seraphim.
The CherubimThey function as the guardians of light and stars; they create and channel positive energy; they watch out for theentire multiverse, collecting and dispensing energy as needed; they guard any religious temple/place of worship;they can function as personal guards who wield flaming swords, should that be necessary.In looks, they're very far from the fat babies of art; they're usually half-human half-beast (in fact, says Silver, manyEgyptian deities can be seen as Cherubim; e.g. Sekhmet, Bast, Anubis). Their name means “those who intercede”; they're beings of knowledge and boundless love.Call them if you need divine protection, wisdom, and knowledge. Burn a white candle for Divinity and a bluecandle for the Cherubim.
The ThronesThese are the PIs of the angel realm, and justice is very important to them. They'll searchlight any injustice andsend healing energies to the victims (usually working through the Guardian). They create, channel and collectincoming and outgoing energies and teach humility.They are usually assigned to planets, so most planetary angels are Thrones. Their name implies their stability;Divinity stands on their capable shoulders.If you need smoothing out between groups of people or individuals; for stability; and anything related to planets orplanetary energies, call the Thrones.
THE SECOND SPHERE
They're concerned w/ the cosmos and interconnectedness, and flow in an intensity of power. They carry out ordersfrom the higher-ups and take an interest in the orders of those below them. They also concern themselves w/ thegoverning of a specific planet.

The DominionsThese are the Divine leaders; they're the epitome of cause/effect; they are perfect mediators and arbitrators; they goabout integrating the material and the spiritual.If you have any issue w/, about or relating to leadership, the Dominions are the first ones to call. They're concernedw/ leaders and leadership, and the fairness and balance that ought to go w/ it – like the Angelic ANTI-CORRUPTION
HOTLINE. They bestow 'natural' leadership and help all types of leaders. They're also great to call when starting a newproject or if you get stuck w/ a continuing one. Burn a white candle for Divinity and a pink candle for theDominions.
The PowersThey are warrior angels, and function as regulators of chaos. Working out of encompassing love, they dispensejustice. They organize the world's religions and send divine energy to keep the positive aspects of them going. Theywork through the human sixth sense to warn of someone set to harm you, and ferret out hidden agendas.Call them when in trouble. They ferret out hidden agendas designed to harm others and will help you spot this ifyou ask them. They'll defend your home, property, kids, or any group of people who call on them for defense. Burna white candle for Divinity and a yellow candle for the Powers.
The VirtuesThese are the “miracle angels” - they move massive amounts of energy to the earth plane and collective humanunconsciousness. They bestow grace and valour and are fond of the “underdogs” who strive to work beyond theirrestrictions and achieve when others say they can't. They love go-getters and positive people striving towardsharmony.They are the nature angels, so the elemental energies fall under their auspices – earth, air, fire, water, spirit,weather patterns, planetary upheavals. They'll also help w/ healings; they'll be the hotline if you're in trouble, sick, or scared. Burn a white candle forDivinity and an orange candle for the Virtues.
THE THIRD SPHERE
They are the earth angels who mingle w/ humanity and are closely involved in human affairs.
The PrincipalitiesThey guard large groups, like continents, countries, cities, towns, and other grandscale human activities. They'reabout global reform, and watch and work w/ human leaders in political or religious affairs, to try and help themmake good decisions. You'll find them, says Silver, where any large group of people is gathered, whether to makedecisions or have fun.They are Divine Human Rights Lawyers, and will help in times of discrimination. They fight against extinction.They'll sort out inadequate leadership, whether in a company or a city or a country, and will help w/ making wisedecisions regarding these.
The ArchangelsThe Archangels deal w/ everyone, says Silver, from the top brass to the newborn babe. They're often involved inone of the other Spheres.The four established Archangels are Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel. Others include Metatron, Jeremiel,Chamuel, Zadkiel, Raguel, Raziel, Jophiel, Azrael, Ariel, Sandalphon, and Haniel [from A:CIM and Doreen Virtue'sArchangel Cards].To contact them, burn a white candle for Divinity and their personal corresponding candle colour.
The AngelsThese are the guardian angels, those assigned to individuals. Everyone has one. They may hail from one of theother spheres, if you're a revolutionary or working towards something big. Whatever the case, they link themselvesto human and physical matters, and funnel energies from you to Divinity and back. They're constantly it touch w/the other angels, and work w/ you and w/ them to accomplish things.Silver describes them as our best friends and closest companions. They stick it out w/ you from birth to death,

through all your incarnations.If you want their help, ask and believe. They'll rally whatever they can; they'll do everything in their power if youjust ask. You'll still have to do some footwork, of course, but they rock w/ bringing out hithero unseenopportunities or beelining activities; they'll help plot out solutions and soundboard them if you want them to.Burn a white candle for Divinity, and choose your favourite candle colour for your guardian.
