The 7 Heavens, The 70 Amulet Angels Invoked at the Time of Childbirth, The 28 Angels Ruling in the 28 Mansions of the Moon, The 64 Angel Wardens of the 7 Celestial Hall (Heaven or Hechaloth)

From this conception of the universe arose the idea of seven “levels of reality,” corresponding to the seven celestial spheres. The ordinary level of humanity’s experience was referred to as the “sublunar” realm, meaning that it is the level below the sphere of the moon. Another popular number was nine, which seems to have been derived by considering the Earth itself as well as the sphere composed of the fixed stars as constituting distinct levels. Given this view of reality, it was natural that the angels should be regarded as being arranged in a hierarchy of levels, hence Dionysius’s schema of nine choirs of angels.

In Neoplatonism (a term created in the 19th century referring to a school of mystical philosophy that took shape in the 3rd century, based on the ancient teachings of Plato and earlier Platonists) the various levels of reality were regraded as having been sequentially “emanated” by the formless Godhead from the realm (freal) of the fixed stars to the physical plane. The Gnostics, a collection of about fifty-two ancient texts based upon the teachings of several spiritual leaders, written from the 2nd to the 4th century AD, introduced an interesting twist on the basic idea by asserting that the physical world was created by mistake and is a prison from which we should attempt to escape. Trapping human spirits in this world, the evil creator established archons (evil archangels) at each of the seven levels to prevent humans from escaping.

Traditionally, the seven heavens are as follows:

FIRST HEAVEN (SHAMAYIN)

The lowest heaven, Shamayin borders the Earth ad is ruled by Gabriel. All angels having any work done in the universe live here. The first heaven contains clouds, the winds, the Upper Waters. It is also home to the two hundred astronomer-angels who preside over the stars and all angels connected to natural phenomena and protectors of natural disasters of Earth.

SECOND HEAVEN (RAQUIA)

Raquia is ruled by the angel Raphael, and according to Enoch, it is within this heaven that the fallen angels are imprisoned awaiting final judgement in complete darkness. Also, held here, waiting their fate, are those who have passed that broke the laws of the “Deadly 7 Sins”.

THIRD HEAVEN (SAGUN OR SHEHQUIN)

According to Enoch, hell lies within the northern boundaries of the third heaven. Sagun is ruled by Baradiel , and is the residence for Iza’ll, the Islamic angel of death. It is here in the northern region that the wicked humans and fallen angels are tortured by angels. However, in the southern regions there exists a bountiful paradise where the river of milk and honey and the river of oil and wine flow where the souls of the righteous will come after death.

FOURTH HEAVEN (ZEBHUL OR MACHANON)
Ruled by Michael, the fourth heaven “is the site of the heavenly Jerusalem, the Holy Temple and it’s Altar” It is here, according to Enoch, that the Garden of Eden is actually housed, not in the third heaven.

FIFTH HEAVEN (NACHON OR MA’ON)
Machon is the secondary home to God in the southern regions, and home to Aaron, and the avenging angels. The northern boundaries, said to be ruled by Sandalphon and his secondary Samael, is home to fallen grigori (the watchers/fallen angels). In the southern regions, on the other hand, reside God and the ministering angels, who endlessly chant the praises of the Lord.

SIXTH HEAVEN (ZEBUL OR MAKHON)
The sixth heaven is ruled by Zebul at night and Sabbath during the day. This stormy, snow-ridden dwelling is home to the seven phoenixes and the seven cherubim who sing the praises of God. All heavenly records are kept here. A multitude of other angelic beings also reside here who study an array of subjects including astronomy, ecology, the seasons, and mankind.
