Ialdabaoth's Twelve
Creator Angels
Other Angels

According to Excerpts of
Theodotus, the Powers were
"the first of created angels."
Their principal mission is to
maintain order in Heaven
and to keep the fallen angels
from destroying the world.
According to Pope Gregory,
they preside over demons.
And, St. Paul suggests that
the various letters in the
New Testament (the
Epistles) imply that the
Powers either are or could be
evil.

Among the duties assigned
to this order are the
recording of human history
and being present during
the birth and death of all
mortals. They also preside
over all world religions,
providing them with the
celestial energy needed
to carry on their work.

The Powers communicate
with man through intuition,
dreams and premonitions
that warn of impending
danger. The divine has
also given them permission
to punish, forgive, and
create, according to his will.
Philo Judaeus ranks their
duties, from most to least
important, accordingly:
divine logos (carrying out
God's orders), creating,
exectuting thier sovereignty,
granting forgiveness and
mercy, enforcing divine law,
and punishing those they
find deserving.

The Powers help humans to
resist temptation and to
follow God's laws. They are
also guides for lost souls
and guard the path to the
celestial realms. Other
names that they are known
by include the Authorities,
Potentialities, Dynamis
and Potentates. And in
Milton's Paradise Lost,
the Powers are an order of
Heavenly guards.

It is in the Septuagint that
the term Dynamis is first
used as a name for an order
of angels, those who fit the
Greek's idea of the Lord's
Hosts. Dionysius, who
ranked the Powers as being
third in the second triad of
his celestial heirarchy,
mistakenly equated them
with the Seraphim.

Eerosi, among the hermetics,
Sammael, according to
Fludd, and Camael have all
been said to be the chief
angel of the Powers, though
it is Camael who is usually
so designated.
