Description the seraphim are often considered to be the highest ranking among all angelic choirs, being tasked with singing constantly in God's presence, such song is the source of reality itself and sets all the angelic choirs in motion. Without the seraphim the universe would be only an infinite abyss of nothingness, the name "Seraphim" (singular Seraph or Saraph, depends on the interpretation) fittingly means "fiery dragons" or "phoenixes" as they are often described as flaming serpentine beings with three pairs of wings and entirely covered in eyes, symbolizing righteousness, power and enlightenment. due to their pure nature seraphim almost never leave God's throne, in the astral plane of Keter (God's "mind"), and when they depart they do so only to bless equally pure souls. Jesus himself is often depicted in mdieval art as being a seraph himself, often in the act of granting stigmata to saint Francis. they are often put under the leadership of the archangel of law Metatron, but according to other sources they served Samael, who later fell and became Satan. it is unclear wheter high ranking angels such as the four elemental archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Azrael/Uriel) belong to this class or not.
