Virtues
Virtues are a choir of angels in the hierarchy of angels. They are the fifth choir.
According to Meteorologica Cosmica by Robert Fludd, this choir is ruled over by the Archangel Michael.
Duties
Angels from the Choir of Virtues are responsible for making miracles occur upon the Earth. They possess an unshakable energy welling forth from their Godlike abilities. Virtues are known for their control of the elements. Some even refer to them as “the shining ones.” This may be a reference to the Egyptian decans, which were also called by that name.
In addition to being the Spirits of Motion, they also assist in governing nature.
They encourage humans to strengthen their faith in God.
