Ranks of Angels

I'm not sure why I wanted to know this, but here goes:

Angels come in three sets of three, from the top down:

• Seraphim
• Cherubim and
• Thrones

Then

• Dominions
• Virtues and
• Powers

Finally

• Principalities
• Archangels and
• Angels

Obviously this is a very Christian view of things. I know that angels are traditionary in most of the religions of the book. This page talks about messenger and writing angels which is quite interesting. If I have given anyone offense by this posting, then it was unintentional and I apologise.
