Who needs salvation when there's instant gratification? That is the mind-set of most people in this day and age. The occult is more prevelent in society, though most don't know the true dangers of these practices. It is more than just funny little boards and dolls; these harbor dangerous spirits. However, most people don't see the harm in this. These demons can given them what God never did: immortality, power, seduction. It seems that everyone has become Attracted to Sin.

Seraphim
---
Seraphim, also known as "fire makers" or "carriers of warmth", are the highest order of Angels. They surround the throne of the Creator. They were created with perfect and total understanding of the Creator. The worship God and praise him highly for all he does and all he will do. They represent total peace, contemplation and perennial love. One could even say they are spirits of love. The seraphim set up the vibration of love, which in turn creates the fires of life. Humans rarely perceive the seraphim, but they can alter their subtle vibrations to be seen or felt by humans. When they do come in contact with humans, they have a warming effect. The fires of life can be used to create life anew or save a struggling one. They are impervious to all human strife and pains, but demonic forces can weaken or even kill them. They have very little use in combat, but can change many things on the grand scheme.

Book of Revelations
 
Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."

Cherubim
---
Also known as "fullness of knowledge", the cherubim are second in rank in the choir of angels. They are considered God's record keepers as well as guardians of the light and stars. Some think of them as spirits of the harmonies. They guard access to celestial wisdom, which we know as the Akashic Records or the Book of Life. When we seek spiritual knowledge these are the ones that reveal to us what is hidden. They use their ability to tap into the human psyche to aid the will of God and rid the world of evil. They also have to power of light so that they can vanquish any demons that feed on the darkness.

John Milton - Paradise Lost
 
When I am thy captive talk of chains, Proud military cherub.

Thrones
---
Thrones, also known as "ophanim" or "galgallin" are very close to God. In fact, they are forever in presence of Him. They symbolize all seeking wisdom. They also serve as the court to consider the dispositions of God. They determine the will of God and, like most angels, manipulate the will of humans. Since they must be forever in the presence of God, they are given the power of omnipresence. This means they can be in multiple places at once. This allows them to place there own insight into God's will, which may cause some discrepancies when humans ask for guidance from a Throne.

Richard Baxter
 
Ye holy angels bright,/Who stand before God’s throne/And dwell in glorious light,/Praise ye the Lord each one./Assist our song, or else the theme/Too high doth seem for mortal tongue.

Dominations
---
Dominations also go by the names of dominions, lords and kuriotetes. They regulate duties of angels, govern the physical plane, working exclusively with the kingdom of nature and the elements. There powers also encompass those things. They are in control of all elements and able to bend them to their will. Some Dominations can only control one or two elements, while others can control them all. All Dominations have a strong connection to animals and nature. They can command anything on land. They also decide what needs to be done to accomplish God's infinite goals. They are considered to be the Spirits of Wisdom.

Martin Luther King Jr.
 
The universe is under the control of a loving purpose, and that in the struggle for righteousness man has cosmic companionship (angels). Behind the harsh appearance of the world there is a benign power.

Virtues
---
"The shinning ones" or "the brilliant ones" and names also used to describe virtues. These beings in charge of granting and providing courage to those who perform deeds of nobility and virtue against all things evil. They have the abilities of power bestowal, power absorption, and power negation. Some Virtues only contain one of these while others contain all three. Power bestowal is the ability to increase the strength of a human being; power absorption is the ability to take the powers of a demon or another angel; power negation is the ability to drain another of all their powers. All these acts can only be done by touching the person. They are also called the Spirits of Movement.

Plato
 
The most virtuous are those who content themselves with being virtuous without seeking to appear so.

Powers
---
"Potentiates" or "dynamis authorities" are other names by which the Powers go by. These beings act as warrior patrols on alert for the forces of darkness, both in spirit and earth realms. They work to maintain balance between Good and Evil in God's universe. The reason they are so apt at doing this is because they have the gift of foresight. They can see potential futures, though what they see is not always how things turn out. They are only capable of seeing what will happen if things continue to follow the current thread. Some Potentiates are more powerful than others, and they can see multiple potential futures. Though these are more powerful, they are more scatter-brained because it is hard to tell what variables are causing each individual vision. They are also known as the Spirits of Form.

Francis Bacon
 
The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.

Principalities
---
The "principle powers" - as the are also called - watch over the actions, karmas, and destines of earth beings. They posses the power to govern the rise and fall of respective nations and are also are in charge of religions on earth. They are equipped with a high level of intelligence that not even the smartest of humans can reach. This is what enables them to strategize so well when trying to find was to manipulate the humans into bending to Gods will. It is also how the access which nations should rise and which should fall. They are considered either the Spirits of personality or time.

Romans 8:38
39
Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God.

Archangels
---
Archangels act as the liaisons between God and man. They are in charge of heaven's armies and battle against hell. Because they act as heaven's soldiers, their skill is brute strength and mastery of weaponry. Some of them know how to wield the weapons, but many also know how to make the weapons. They have even bestowed some of there weapons to worthy humans. The also act as supervisors of guardian angels and will even be guardian angels themselves sometimes, but not often. They can inspire artistic creations and are in charge of waking all humanity to God and the path to Him.They are considered Free Spirits.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
The man who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world

Angels

These beings are closest to the material world because they were once part of the material world. These beings - also known as Sons of Life - were once human beings, but they have long since passed away. They now serve as holy messengers between humans and God. They intercede taking our prayers to God and return with the answers. They are our guardians, protectors and minister to our needs. They may appear to humans in many different forms, normally human, but sometimes animal (never animal human hybrid). This is so they can easily blend into society. They posses an aura of great power, though they are the weakest of the angels, and can inspire both fear and awe in those they come in contact with.

George Elliot
 
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.
