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 directly names Haniel as the intelligence of Netzach working through Venus. His later planetary list also gives the variant Anael.

Elohim (Gods)
Seventh of Maimonides's ranks. Confusingly, 'Elohim' is here a rank of angel, not the divine name; the plural form suggests a collective of divine emanations.

Golden Dawn attributes
Correspondences established by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn between 1888 and 1912.
The Sevens reach beyond present conditions without yet securing the result. Their promise depends on what follows and on the cards around them.
Book T classifies the Sevens under Netzach and treats them as powerful but conditional possibilities rather than guaranteed outcomes.
