The atlas carries a sephirah for each of the nine Dionysian choirs, but no source is recorded for the arrangement and it matches none of the schemes the atlas itself describes. This collection places Cherubim at Binah. Its own article on that row states that Agrippa places Cherubim at Chokmah, and that the Golden Dawn table, under the transliteration Kerubim, places it at Yesod. Pseudo-Dionysius assigns no choir to any sephirah at all, the Tree of Life being no part of his subject. So the column holds a fourth arrangement whose provenance is unrecorded, and it may be an editorial convenience: the nine were fitted to sephirot 2 through 10, which leaves Kether free for the Kabbalistic first rank and produces a tidy result no source is known to assert.
What would resolve this A citation to a published table that makes these nine assignments, which would settle it outright. Failing that, a survey of the Renaissance and modern occult reference works that pair the Dionysian hierarchy with the Tree of Life, establishing whether any of them places Cherubim at Binah, or whether the arrangement entered this collection from a secondary compilation, or was constructed to avoid a collision with the Kabbalistic orders. A negative result is a real answer here and the values should then be retired rather than kept.
Resolution Resolved 2026-08-14 by w1393-smallitems6. The divergent arrangement this question asked about was this entry's own entity-description, not a second source: it stated Binah where the sourced sephirah property (Agrippa, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, already cited on this entity) states Chokmah. An audit trail check found no insert record for either the description or the property, only a 2026-08-04 note-recovery touch on the property; the divergence traces to the original unaudited bulk port with no recoverable author. No source was found supporting the shifted value, so per this question's own resolution path the value has been retired: the description now names Chokmah, agreeing with the sourced property. · 08/14/2026 12:00:00 AM
