All I know about Seraphim is that they are or may be manifested as serpents (of fire or light?), suggesting the fundamental Circle pattern; and there is something in Dante (or a Note?) about their being associated with Love (as, of course, are Cherubs), which is next round the Circle again.* Seraphim would, presumably, be the first (i.e. last) before God, barely distinguishable to us.**


*at Archangels; cf. xP in [2] talking about what moves (or connects) the Angels of the Net: Love.

**(Note, however, the possible derivation from (Hebrew word) 'Fire', & the original word used for them as serpents: δρακοντες [drakontes], dragons) {in [the Book of] Enoch}.
