Archangels
Angels (Regular)
Seraphim
These are the highest order or choir of angels. They are the angels who are attendants or guardians before God's throne. They praise God, calling, "Holy Holy Holy is the Lord of Hosts". the only Bible reference is Isaiah 6:1-7. One of them touched Isaiah's lips with a live coal from the altar, cleansing him from sin. Seraphim have six wings, two cover their faces, two cover their feet, and two are for flying.

Cherubim
Cherubim rank after the seraphim and are the second highest in the nine hierarchies or choirs of angels. The Old Testament does not reveal any evidence that the Jews considered them as intercessors or helpers of God. They were closely linked in God's glory. They are manlike in appearance and double-winged and were guardians of God's glory. They symbolized then, God's power and mobility. In the New Testament, they are alluded to as celestial attendants in the Apocalypse (Rv 4-6). Catholic tradition describes them as angels who have an intimate knowledge of God and continually praise Him.

Thrones
Thrones are the Angels of pure Humility, Peace and Submisssion. They reside in the area of the cosmos where material form begins to take shape. The lower Choir of Angels need the Thrones to access God.
(top of the page)
Dominions
Dominions are Angels of Leadership. They regulate the duties of the angels, making known the commands of God.

Virtues
Virtues are known as the Spirits of Motion and control the elements. They are sometimes referred to as "the shining ones." They govern all nature. They have control over seasons, stars, moon; even the sun is subject to their command. They are also in charge of miracles and provide courage, grace, and valor.

Powers
Powers are Warrior Angels against evil defending the cosmos and humans. They are known as potentates. They fight against evil spirits who attempt to wreak chaos through human beings. The chief is said to be either Samael or Camael, both angels of darkness.

Archangels
Archangels are generally taken to mean "chief or leading angel" ( Jude 9; 1 Thes 4:16), they are the most frequently mentioned throughout the Bible. They may be of this or other hierarchies as St. Michael Archangel, who is a princely Seraph. The Archangels have a unique role as God's messenger to the people at critical times in history and salvation (Tb 12:6, 15; Jn 5:4; Rv 12:7-9) as in The Annunciation and Apocalypse. A feast day celebrating the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael is celebrated throughout the Church Sep 29. A special part of the Byzantine Liturgy invokes the "Cherubic Hymn" which celebrates these archangels and the guardian angels particularly. Of special significance is St. Michael as he has been invoked as patron and protector by the Church from the time of the Apostles. The Eastern Rite and many others place him over all the angels, as Prince of the Seraphim. He is described as the "chief of princes" and as the leader of the forces of heaven in their triumph over Satan and his followers. The angel Gabriel first appeared in the Old Testament in the prophesies of Daniel, he announced the prophecy of 70 weeks (Dn 9:21-27). He appeared to Zechariah to announce the birth of St. John the Baptist (Lk 1:11). It was also Gabriel which proclaimed the Annunciation of Mary to be the mother of our Lord and Saviour. (Lk 1:26) The angel Raphael first appeared in the book of Tobit (Tobias)Tb 3:25, 5:5-28, 6-12). He announces "I am the Angel Raphael, one of the seven who stand before the throne of God." (Tb 12:15)

Principalities
In the New Testament Principalities refers to one type of spiritual (metaphysical) being which are now quite hostile to God and human beings. (Rom 8:38; 1 Cor 15:24; Eph 1:21; 3:10; 6:12; Col 1:16; 2:10, 15) Along with the principalities are the powers (Rom 8:38; 1 Cor 15:24; Eph 1:21; 1 Pt 3:22; 2 Thes 1:7); and cosmological powers (1 Cor 15:24; Eph 1:21; 3:10; Col 2:15);Dominions (Eph 1:21; Col 1:16) and thrones (Col1:16). The clarity of the New Testament witness helps see that these beings were created through Christ and for Him (Col 1:16). Given their hostility to God and humans due to sin, Christ's ultimate rule over them (ibid) expresses the reign of the Lord over all in the cosmos. This is the Lordship of Christ, which reveals God's tremendous salvation in conquering sin and death at the cross, and now takes place in the Church. (Eph 3:10)
(top of the page)
Angels
These angels are closest to the material world and human begins. They deliver the prayers to God and God's answers and other messages to humans. Angels have the capacity to access any and all other Angels at any time. They are the most caring and socius to assist those who ask for help.

Religious beliefs of Yezidi [Melek Taus and Angels]
Melek Taus, the peacock angelIn the Yazidi worldview, God created the world, which is now in the care of a Heptad of seven Holy Beings, often known as Angels or heft sirr (the Seven Mysteries). Preeminent among these is Melek Taus (Tawûsê Melek in Kurdish), the Peacock Angel. According to the Encyclopedia of the Orient, "The reason for the Yazidis reputation of being devil worshipers, is connected to the other name of Melek Taus, Shaytan, the same name the Koran has for Satan"[6]. However, according to the Kurdish linguist Jamal Nebez, the word Taus is most probably derived from the Greek and is related to the words Zeus and Theos, alluding to the meaning of God. Accordingly, Malek Taus is God's Angel, and this is how Yazidis themselves see Melek Taus or Taus-e-Malak[7].
Yazidis believe that Melek Taus is not a source of evil or wickedness. They consider him to be the leader of the archangels, not a fallen angel, and therefore comparable to the Christians' Saint Michael, who is likewise considered the leader of the "seven who stand before the Lord" and of all other good angels. Also, they hold that the source of evil is in the heart and spirit of humans themselves, not in Melek Taus. The active forces in their religion are Melek Taus and Sheik Adî. The Kitêba Cilwe (Book of Illumination) which claims to be the words of Melek Taus, and which presumably represents Yazidi belief, states that he allocates responsibilities, blessings and misfortunes as he sees fit and that it is not for the race of Adam to question him. Sheikh Adî believed that the spirit of Melek Taus is the same as his own, perhaps as a reincarnation. He is believed to have said : "I was present when Adam was living in Paradise, and also when Nemrud threw Abraham in fire. I was present when God said to me: "You are the ruler and Lord on the Earth). God, the compassionate, gave me seven earths and throne of the heaven."
Yazidi accounts of creation differ from that of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They believe that God first created Melek Taus from his own illumination (Ronahî in Kurdish) and the other six archangels were created later. God ordered Melek Taus not to bow to other beings. Then God created the other archangels and ordered them to bring him dust (Ax) from the Earth (Erd) and build the body of Adam. Then God gave life to Adam from his own breath and instructed all archangels to bow to Adam. The archangels obeyed except for Melek Taus. In answer to God, Malek Taus replied, "How can I submit to another being! I am from your illumination while Adam is made of dust." Then God praised him and made him the leader of all angels and his deputy on the Earth. (This likely furthers what some see as a connection to the Islamic Shaytan, as according to legend he too refused to bow to Adam at God's command, though in this case it is seen as being a sign of Shaytan's sinful pride.) Hence the Yazidis believe that Melek Taus is the representative of God on the face of the Earth, and comes down to the Earth on the first Wednesday of Nisan (March/April). Yazidis hold that God created Malek Taus on this day, and celebrate it as New Year's day. Yazidis argue that the order to bow to Adam was only a test for Melek Taus, since if God commands anything then it must happen. (Bibe, dibe). In other words, God could have made him submit to Adam, but gave Taus the choice as a test. They believe that their respect and praise for Melek Taus is a way to acknowledge his majestic and sublime nature. This idea is called "Knowledge of the Sublime" (Zanista Ciwaniyê). Sheikh Adî has observed the story of Melek Taus and believed in him[8].
One of the key creationism beliefs of Yazidism is that all Yazidis are descendants of Adam rather than Eve.[9]
Yazidis believe that good and evil both exist in the mind and spirit of human beings. It depends on the humans, themselves, as to which they choose. In this process, their devotion to Melek Taus is essential, since it was he who was given the same choice between good and evil by God, and chose the good.
Yazidis, who have much in common with the followers of Ahl-e Haqq (in western Iran), state that the world created by God was at first a pearl. It remained in this very small and enclosed state for some time (often a magic number such as forty or forty thousand years) before being remade in its current state. During this period the Heptad were called into existence, God made a covenant with them and entrusted the world to them. Besides Melek Taus, members of the Heptad (the Seven), who were called into existence by God at the beginning of all things, include Sheikh Adî, his companion Shaikh Hasan, and a group known as the four Mysteries, Shamsadin, Fakhradin, Sajadin and Naserdin. The Yazidi holy books are the Kitêba Cilwe (Book of Revelation) and the Mishefa Reş (Black Book).
Two key and interrelated features of Yazidism are: a) a preoccupation with religious purity and b) a belief in metempsychosis. The first of these is expressed in the system of caste, the food laws, the traditional preferences for living in Yazidi communities, and the variety of taboos governing many aspects of life. The second is crucial; Yazidis traditionally believe that the Seven Holy Beings are periodically reincarnated in human form, called a koasasa.
A belief in the reincarnation of lesser Yazidi souls also exists. Like the Ahl-e Haqq, the Yazidis use the metaphor of a change of garment to describe the process, which they call kiras guhorîn in Kurdish (changing the garment). Alongside this, Yazidi mythology also includes descriptions of heaven and hell, with hell extinguished, and other traditions incorporating these ideas into a belief system that includes reincarnation.[9]

On Elohim[plural]
#In the Levantine pantheon, the Elohim are the sons of El the ancient of days (olam) assembled on the divine holy place, Mount Zephon (Jebel Aqra). This mountain, which lies in Syria, was regarded as a portal to its heavenly counterpart. The Elohim are ruled by the El called Hadad the most high (elyon) who was known among the common people as "the master" ("Baal"). Assembled on the holy mountain of heaven and ruled by one, the pantheon (Elohim) acts as one. The enemy of the Elohim is Yam whom El also created.
In the Hebrew Bible Elohim is predominantly a singular noun used as a name for God. Some have suggested that this is evidence of polytheistic or henotheistic roots of Judaism. Others have suggested that this indicates the Judaic roots of pagan religions.

from Wikipedia [Samyaza]
#Samyaza (Aramaic: שמיחזה, Greek: Σεμιαζά) also Semihazah, Shemyazaz, Sêmîazâz, Semjâzâ,Samjâzâ, Shemyaza, Shemhazai, and Amezarak (Ethiopic corruption) is a fallen angel of Christian tradition that ranked in the heavenly hierarchy as one of the Grigori (meaning "Watchers" in Greek). The name 'Shemyazaz' means 'infamous rebellion', the combination of 'shem' [meaning 'name' or 'fame' {whether positive or negative}] + 'azaz' [which means 'rebellion' or 'arrogance' as a negative particle]. Michael Knibb lists him as “the (or my) name has seen†or “he sees the nameâ€. The interesting thing about the second interpretation is there is a tale about Semjâzâ knowing the explicit name of God and making a deal with a human Istahar to tell her the name.
Christian views
Samyaza is most likely another name for Satan (Heb: 'the adversary'), who was originally an entity created in the service of God; he was the caretaker of God's throne, but later fell from the heavens because of his pride according to Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekiel 28:12-18. Jesus states that he saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning in Luke 10:18. His name could be read as, 'infamous rebellion', rather fitting since he was originally the most powerful angel in heaven but then he sinned by rebelling against God.
Sins of Samyaza and his associates
In the Book of Enoch he is portrayed as the leader of a band of angels called the grigori that are consumed with lust for mortal women and become Fallen Angels.
And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin. 4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' 5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it." - Chapter 6, Verse 3-5."
A full listing of the leaders of the group can be found on the 1 Enoch page. Semjâzâ convinced several other Grigori to join him in fornicating with women. As a result, he and the other sinful Grigori begot giant offspring (in Genesis called Nephilim or 'fallen ones' in Hebrew) that dominated and feasted upon humans during the days of Enoch. The Watchers' other sin was to teach humans various creative arts — especially Azâzêl's, who taught the secrets of war, which brought down the wrath of God.
God commanded the angel Gabriel to cause the Giants to wage Civil War:
"And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have." - Chapter 10, Verse 9
The judgement of the associates of Shemyazaz is described in Chapter 10 verse 12-14 of the Book of Enoch.
"11. And the Lord said unto Michael: 'Go, bind Semjâzâ and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. 12. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. 13. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: 〈and〉 to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations." - Chapter 10, Verses 11-14
After the destruction of the Giants, God caused the Great Flood (Noah's flood) to wipe out the humans who had become corrupted. For a more detailed treatment please see the Book of Enoch page.

His name could be read as, 'infamous rebellion', rather fitting since he was originally the most powerful angel in heaven but then he sinned by rebelling against God.
Sins of Samyaza and his associates
In the Book of Enoch he is portrayed as the leader of a band of angels called the grigori that are consumed with lust for mortal women and become Fallen Angels.
And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin. 4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' 5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it." - Chapter 6, Verse 3-5."
A full listing of the leaders of the group can be found on the 1 Enoch page. Semjâzâ convinced several other Grigori to join him in fornicating with women. As a result, he and the other sinful Grigori begot giant offspring (in Genesis called Nephilim or 'fallen ones' in Hebrew) that dominated and feasted upon humans during the days of Enoch. The Watchers' other sin was to teach humans various creative arts — especially Azâzêl's, who taught the secrets of war, which brought down the wrath of God.
God commanded the angel Gabriel to cause the Giants to wage Civil War:
"And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have." - Chapter 10, Verse 9
The judgement of the associates of Shemyazaz is described in Chapter 10 verse 12-14 of the Book of Enoch.
"11. And the Lord said unto Michael: 'Go, bind Semjâzâ and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. 12. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. 13. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: 〈and〉 to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations." - Chapter 10, Verses 11-14
After the destruction of the Giants, God caused the Great Flood (Noah's flood) to wipe out the humans who had become corrupted. For a more detailed treatment please see the Book of Enoch page.

On Dudael
#Dudael is the place of imprisonment for Azazel (one of the "fallen" angels), cohort of Semjaza. It is described in the book of First Enoch chapter 10 verse 4-7:
And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire.

I HAVE BEGOTTEN A STRANGE SON
-----------------------------
And after some days my son, Methuselah, took a wife for his son Lamech,
and she became pregnant by him and bore him a son. And his body was
white as snow and red as a rose; the hair of his head as white as
wool and his demdema (long curly hair') beautiful; and as for his
eyes, when he opened them the whole house glowed like the sun ...
And his father, Lamech, was afraid of him and fled and went to Methuselah
his father; and he said to him, I have begotten a strange son. He
is not like an (ordinary) human being, but he looks like the children
of the angels of heaven to me, his form is different, and he is not
like us ... It does not seem to me that he is of me, but of angels...'
......................................................................................
These words form the opening lines to what must be one of the most
astonishing yet chilling fragments of religious text ever written.
They are the assertions of the antediluvian patriarch Enoch as he
describes the sheer distress and horror that accompanied the miraculous
birth of a son to his grandson, Lamech. The passage is taken from
the Book of Noah, an ancient script of Hebrew origin appended to the
more famous Book of Enoch, a pseudepigraphal (i.e. falsely attributed)
work, considered by scholars to have been put together in stages during
the first half of the second century BC. The predicament conveyed
by these revealing lines seems manifestly clear: Lamech has recently
taken the hand of a woman who has given birth to a child that bears
no resemblance whatsoever to its immediate family. His appearance
is entirely unlike other human beings, for his skin is white and
ruddy, his long curly hair is white and beautiful, while his eyes
mysteriously enable the whole house to glow like the sun.
From this specific appearance Lamech can only
conclude that his wife has been unfaithful, since
the infant resembles the children of the angels who arenot like
US. This seems an extraordinary conclusion on the part of Lamech,
and a very strange subject for a religious scribe to invent without
good reason. If it can, for a moment, be accepted that this account
records an actual event in the history of human kind, then it implies
that the strange appearance of this child matched the offspring of
angels, and must by inference have been the product of the union between
a mortal woman and a divine messenger, a heavenly intelligence in the service of God himself. Surely this is impossible, for according
to Judaeo-Christian tradition angels are incorporeal, having neither
form nor substance. They are certainly unable to reproduce by immaculate
conception. If this is correct, then the story of the birth of Lamechs
strange son is in direct contradiction to the rabbinical teachings
of Judaism and the creed of the Christian faith. Yet here it is, in
print for all to see - heretical words implying that angelic beings
were able to produce children by cohabiting with mortal women. For
any reader with an open mind, this is a perplexing enigma further
deepened by a more personal portrayal of the birth of Lamechs son,
which is to be found in a poorly preserved fragment of religious text,
discovered with manv other rolled-up brittle scrolls inside a cave
overlooking the Dead Sea in 1947. Known to scholars today as the Genesis
Apocryphon, this unique work was written in Aramaic, the Syriac language
adopted by the Hebrew scribes following the Jews exile in Babylon
during the sixth century BC. Dating back to a similar age as the
Book of Enoch, the Dead Sea Scroll in question would have originally
contained an alternative, fuller account of the events featured in
the Book of Genesis; however, it was so badly damaged when found
that only the birth of Lamechs son, an account of Noahs Ark and
the biblical Flood, along with the wanderings of the patriarch Abraham,
have been preserved. The fragmentary text was translated by Nahman
Avigad and Yigael Yadin in I954 and published under the title A Genesis
Apocryphon two years later by the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. With
respect to the account of the strange birth of Lamechs son, it
differs principally from the version given in the Book of Enoch, in
that the narrator has altered from the patriarch Enoch to Lamech himself
- it is he who recalls the scene in his own words. The narrative
begins just after the strange birth as Lamech starts voicing his suspicions
concerning the suspected infidelity of his wife, here named as Bathenosh
- and referred to also as his sister - for he says:
Behold, I thought then within my heart that conception was (due) to
the Watchers and the Holy Ones ... and to the Nephilim . . . and
my heart was troubled within me because of this child.
Turning to his obviously distraught wife, Lamech makes her swear by
the Most High that she will tell him the truth and admit if she has
lain with anyone else. In reply she beseeches him to accept her word,
saying:
O my lord, 0 my [brother, rememberl my pleasure! I swear to thee
by the Holy Great One, the king of [the heavens] ... that this seed
is yours and that [this] conception is from you. This fruit was planted
by you ... and by no stranger or Watcher or Son of Heaven ... I speak
to you truthfully-
It is clear that Lamech is accusing his wife of sleeping not with
angels in general, but with having had relations with a specific race
of divine beings known in Hebrew as 'irin' ('ir' in singular), meaning
those who watch or those who are awake, which is translated into##
Greek as 'egregoris or grigori, meaning watchers. ##These
Watchers feature in the main within the pages of pseudepigraphal and
apocryphal works of Jewish origin, such as the Book of Enoch and the
Book of Jubilees. Their progeny, according to Hebrew tradition, are
named as nephilim, a Hebrew word meaning those who have fallen or
the fallen ones, translated into Greek as 'gigantes',
or giants - a monstrous race featured in the Theogony of the hellenic
writer Hesiod (c. 907 Bc). As in the biblical account, this ancient
Greek work focuses on the creation of the world, the rise and fall
of a Golden Age, the coming of the giant races and finally a universal
flood. Bathenoshs touching plea of innocence to her husband and brother
Lamech comes across as most convincing, and provides
tantalizing evidence that this ancient account may contain some
grain of truth. Somehow it could just be based on a real-life event
that occurred in a past age of mankind. If so, then exactly who, or
what, were these Watchers and Nephilim who could lie with mortal
women and produce offspring recognizable by their physiological
traits alone? Are there any grounds whatsoever on which to con-
sider that these apocryphal stories were based on the miscegena-
tion between two different races of human beings, one of whom
has been misidentified or falsely equated with the angels of heaven?
If not, then exactly what were such stories meant to convey to the
reader?
The Book of Enoch seems to provide an answer. Lamech, fearful
of his predicament, consults his father, Methuselah, who, unable to
alleviate the situation, embarks upon a journey to find his own
father Enoch, who has withdrawn from the world and now lives
among the angels'. After Methuselah has tracked him down in a
far-off land (referred to in the Genesis Apocryphon as 'Parwain' or Paradise)
and conveying the fears of his son Lamech, the ever-
righteous Enoch throws light on the situation when he states:
'I have already seen this matter in a vision and made it known to you.
For in the generation of Jared, my father, they [the angels] trans-
gressed the word of the Lord, (that is) the law of heaven. And behold,
they commit sin and transgress the commandment; they have united
themselves with women and commit sin together with them; and they
have married (wives) from among them, and begotten children by them
... And upon the earth they shall give birth to giants, not of the spirit
but of the flesh. There shall be a great plague ... and the earth shall be
washed clean (by "a deluge') from all the corruption. Now, make
known to your son Lamech that the son who has been born is indeed
righteous, and call his name Noah, for he shall be the remnant for you;
and he and his sons shall be saved from the corruption which shall come
upon the earth . . .
So the lid is finally lifted as the reader of the Book of Enoch is told
that some of the angels of heaven have succumbed to carnal sin
and taken wives from among mortal women. From this unholy
union have come flesh-and-blood offspring, giant in stature, who, it
must be presumed, match the description of the child born to Bathenosh.
This betrayal of the heavenly laws of God was seen as an
abomination that would bring only corruption and evil to the human
race, the punishment for which was to be a deluge to cleanse the world
of its wickedness.

Find your Celestial Choir
Well... i changed some answers and here's what i got...

Find your Celestial Choir
[Kai]
Mercurium would fall under this choir -Mercury rules air Gemini,mercurial twins: duality and intellect,the 'androgynous' youth - fast moving and ever shifting.#Mercury is the fastest planetary orbit.#Mecury also rules Virgo -mutable [changeable] Earth, another elemental aspect.
b]VIRTUES[/b]#Virtues are known as the Spirits of Motion and control the elements. They are sometimes referred to as "the shining ones." They govern all nature. They have control over seasons, stars, moon; even the sun is subject to their command. They are also in charge of miracles and provide courage, grace, and valor.
