The Thrones (Greekθρόνοι thrónoi; Latin throni), also called Spirits of Will by Rudolf Steiner, belong together with the Cherubim and Seraphim to the first hierarchy, whose physical expression is the Zodiac. Like all entities of the first hierarchy, they have the "immediate sight of the Godhead" and do not act out of themselves, but are the executors of the divine will. Their dominion is the sphere of Saturn.

By the Hebrews they are called Galgalim (Hebrewגלגלים "wheels", from גַּלְגַּל}} Galgal "wheel") or also Aralim[1] (Hebrewערלים "warriors, heroes, brave ones"). Occasionally they are also equated with the Ophanim (Hebrewאוֹפַנִּים "wheels"), the wheels of the Merkabah, the Throne Chariot of God.
