Angelic hierarchy
Archangels of the sephirah and the angelic choir it leads. Maimonides gives the ten choirs; the sephirothic pairings are later Kabbalistic tradition.
Agrippa explicitly names Raziel as Chokmah's intelligence in 1533. The status remains unsourced because the transmission from medieval Jewish materials into that specific table is not established by an originating source. WHERE IT IS FIRST SEEN, read off the page in October 2026: Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Book III chapter 10, second sephirah, spelled Raziell against the divine name Iod. The spelling is recorded so the locator can be checked rather than taken on trust.
