23. The 9 Choirs of Angels: Understanding Angelic Hierarchies and Divine Guidance

In this episode of The Spiritual Sanctuary: Wisdom for the Divine Feminine, we explore the ancient and mystical teaching of the 9 Choirs of Angels. Rooted in sacred texts, mystical traditions, and centuries of spiritual study, the angelic hierarchy reveals how celestial beings are organized into nine choirs—each with their own purpose, vibration, and divine responsibility.

From the fiery illumination of the Seraphim to the gentle protection of the Angels closest to humanity, each choir carries a distinct role in the divine order. Together, we will look at how these angelic realms interact with the world, how they support spiritual evolution, and how we can connect with them in meaningful, grounded ways.

Along the way, we also explore deeper questions, including how angelic hierarchies formed, what makes each choir unique, how these realms communicate with us, and how angelic guidance becomes part of healing, intuition, and spiritual practice. You’ll also learn how this knowledge supports modalities such as Angel Reiki, where specific archangels and angelic energies assist in healing, protection, and transformation.

If you would like to deepen your work with the angelic realm, my Angel Reiki Master Class is available in person and as a self-paced course at bertena.org.

Bertena Varney

Bertena is a spiritual teacher, priestess, and intuitive guide who blends ancient wisdom with grounded, modern insight. She is the creator and host of The Spiritual Sanctuary, a podcast devoted to the Wheel of the Year, Divine Feminine wisdom, goddess traditions, ritual, meditation, and soul-aligned living.

With decades of experience as a college educator and a deep background in spiritual studies, Bertena brings a rare combination of academic depth and embodied spiritual practice to her work. Her teachings weave together seasonal spirituality, priestess paths, somatic awareness, tarot and oracle wisdom, and contemplative ritual—always with an emphasis on empowerment, discernment, and personal sovereignty.

Bertena is the founder of the Ancient Arts of the Priestess Academy, where she offers self-paced courses, seasonal lessons, and immersive spiritual education rooted in the cycles of nature rather than hustle culture. Her work is especially supportive for women seeking a slower, more meaningful spiritual path—one grounded in trust, rest, and inner authority.

Through her podcast, courses, and writings, Bertena invites listeners into a sanctuary space where wisdom is remembered, not rushed, and where spiritual growth unfolds in its own time.
