According to the Kabbalah as described by the Golden Dawn there are ten archangels, each commanding one of the choir of angels and corresponding to one of the Sephirot. It is similar to the Jewish angelic hierarchy. It should be noted that the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn did and does take huge liberties with the original Jewish teachings and will completely change tradition to fit the pre-established theology.
