The Archangel List

I have many questions about Archangels and who they are. So this post is dedicated to the names and basic info on some of the most popular Archangels. Over the next few weeks we will name ALL the Archangels and their backgrounds as well as how Archangels are connected to our Chakra’s, which Archangel to call for help, which Archangel is associated with each healing gemstone and many other neat facts about Archangels!

This is NOT a complete list as of yet, as I mentioned there will be more to come!!

What is an Angel?

The word angel is thought to be derived from the Greek word “Angelos” which means “messenger”. In Christian, Muslim, Jewish and other theologies an angel can be one who acts as a messenger, attendant or agent of God.
Throughout the bible it is generally seen that the will of God is usually imparted or carried out by angels.

They are messengers from spirit allowing us a greater understanding and connection to Spirit. The word angel comes from angelos which is the Greek word for messenger. Not only are angels messengers, they are also part of our consciousness, representing realms beyond thought and idea. The human mind needs form, so the Light of Spirit takes on the physical form of an angel, to encourage direct communion with God. We create a dimensional blending that enables them to appear in a form that is acceptable to us.

Though the form of angels changes from culture to culture, almost every culture throughout the world has reports of angels. There are angels in Christian, Judaic and Islamic lore. Angels were reported in ancient Assyrian and Mesopotamian, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and Taoism. Ancient Greeks called them horae, Vikings called them valkyries, in Persia they were fereshta, to the Hindus they were apsaras and in the African religion of the Yoruba, angels were called orisha. Traditionally in Shamanism (which is the primordial spiritual path of all indigenous people) there are reports of ascending birdlike spirits. These half-bird/half-human spirits are called the bird people or the bird tribes.

Angels are spirits without bodies, who possess superior intelligence, gigantic strength, and surpassing holiness.
Angels are composed of ethereal matter, thus allowing them to take on whichever physical form best suits their immediate needs.
They enjoy an intimate relationship to God as His special adopted children, contemplating, loving, and praising Him in heaven. Some of them are frequently sent as messengers to men from on high.

Angels are the essence of love and joy and stem from the Heart of God/Goddess. From Archangels to your personal guardian angels, right now angels are bridging our physical reality with their pure spiritual energy. The time is right. For within our planetary collective consciousness, we have put out the ‘call’ and the angels have answered in droves. Like a leaf falling softly on the still pool of our consciousness we will recognize their presence. As you trust and open your heart to them, they will pour out their blessings on you. Angels are real! They are a doorway to the divine within yourself. Angels have been waiting for us to be ready and now is the time. Angels are beginning to manifest for humanity. Expect a miracle. Expect an angel.

Archangels

All Archangels end with the “el” suffix.  “El” meaning “in God” and the first half of the name meaning what each individual Angel specializes in.  Archangels are able to be in many places at one time.  You never have to feel that your “problem” isn’t important enough to bother them with.  That is what they’re there for, to help you grow *.  The most popular Archangels are Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel who are depicted in the Christian Bible.

The Archangels are the captains of all the angelic hosts, having been created as the foremost hierarchs in the angelic kingdom. They are majestic beings who personify divine attributes and are at the service of the mankind of earth. They work tirelessly to defeat evil and promote good. The Archangels have divine complements or twin flames, just as people do. Their feminine counterparts are called Archeiai. (The singular noun is Archeia, and the plural is Archeiai.) Together the Archangels and Archeiai focus the masculine and feminine, or alpha and omega, polarities of the particular color, or ray, of spiritual light on which they serve. Praying to one always invokes the assistance of the other as well.

The Archangels predate us by millions of years and are reported to have been our first teachers on the spiritual path. They are also described as divine architects, whom God uses to draft and execute the plans for his projects. They are cosmic builders and designers in the grandest sense of the word, arcing to our minds the divine blueprint for every endeavor, from the smallest to the greatest.

All of the Archangels are also healers who come as master surgeons to mend our souls and four lower bodies – etheric, mental, emotional and physical. Imagine the power of the Archangels, who for millions of years have done nothing but affirm the reality of God and expand spiritual light in their being. Then when they are in our midst, they minister to us and purify us by transmitting the immense increments of light that they have garnered. Using this boost of energy from the angels properly can help us make much greater progress in our daily life and on the spiritual path.

The Seven Rays of Enlightenment

The most familiar Archangels serve on the seven rays of spiritual light that correspond to the light focused within the seven major chakras in man. I will be doing a post about Archangels and Chakra’s soon…so keep watching our BLOG

Archangel Michael

Meaning- “Who is like God”, “Like unto God”, “Who is like the Divine”

The first Archangel created by God, Michael is the leader of all the Archangels and is in charge of protection, courage, strength, truth and integrity.  Michael protects us physically, emotionally and psychically.  He also oversees the lightworker’s life purpose.  His chief function is to rid the earth and its inhabitants of the toxins associated with fear.  Michael carries a flaming sword that he uses to cut through etheric cords and protects us from Satan and negative entities.  When he’s around you may see sparkles or flashes of bright blue or purple light.  Call on Michael if you find yourself under psychic attack or if you feel you lack commitment, motivation and dedication to your beliefs, courage, direction, energy, vitality, self-esteem, worthiness.  Michael helps us to realize our life’s purpose and he’s invaluable to lightworkers helping with protection, space clearing and spirit releasement.

Michael conquered the fallen Angel Satan, was in the Garden of Eden to teach Adam how to farm and care for his family, spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai and in 1950 he was canonized as Saint Michael, “the patron of Police Officers,” because he helps with heroic deeds and bravery.  Michael also has an incredible knack for fixing electrical and mechanical devices, including computers and automobiles.  If your automobile breaks down, call on Michael.

Michael helps us to follow our truth without compromising our integrity and helps us to find our true natures and to be faithful to who we really are.  Other times when you may find Michael helpful is when your job is too demanding with impossible deadlines to reach, when you have an addiction, if you’re very ill and suffering from a degenerative disease or terminal illness and when you suffer from nightmares

Archangel Chamuel

whose name means “He Who Seeks God” will assist you with seeking inner peace and self-love through your Root or Basic Chakra located at the base of your spine. The life lessons for the Root Chakra are related to the material world, survival, fight of flight.

The Archangel of pure love, Chamuel can lift you from the depths of sorrow and find love in your heart.  Chamuel helps us to renew and improve existing relationships as well as finding our soul mates.  He works with us to build strong foundations for our relationships (as well as careers) so they’re long-lasting, meaningful and healthy.  You’ll know he’s with you when you feel butterflies in your stomach and a pleasant tingling in your body.

If there’s a breakdown of your relationship, if you cling to your relationships and don’t allow your companion the freedom to be able to express themselves freely, call on Chamuel for guidance and support.  The other areas you can Chamuel can help is if you need to strengthen a parent-child bond, if you’re unable to feel love for yourself or others, if your heart has hardened and is full of negative emotions, if you have lost someone close through death or separation, if you and your children have experienced a divorce, if your heart is blocked with depression, hopelessness and despair, if you feel lonely and broken hearted, if you need to be loved, if you are judgmental and cynical or if you don’t appreciate the love that you have in your life.

Chamuel can also help with world peace, career, life purpose and finding lost items.

Archangel Ariel

whose name means “Lion of God”, will assist you with relationships with others and with yourself. Relationship harmony begins first with the Self through your Sacral Chakra located just below your navel. The life lessons for the Sacral Chakra are related to sexuality, work, and physical desire.

Ariel means “lion of God” and is often associated with lions.  When Ariel is near you, you may begin seeing references to or visions of lions around you.  Ariel is also associated with the wind.  Found in books of Judaic mysticism and Cabalistic, Ariel works closely with King Solomon in conducting manifestation, spirit releasement and Divine magic.

Ariel also oversees the sprites, the nature Angels associated with water.  Ariel is involved with healing and protecting nature, including animals, fish and birds.  If you find an injured bird or other wild animal that needs healing, call upon Ariel for help.  Ariel also works closely with Raphael to heal animals in need.

Although he is described as a member of the Angelic hierarchy, he is also at times placed among the evil Angels as one of the fallen Angels who are routed by the stern and obedient seraph Abdiel during the war in heaven.

Archangel Uriel

whose name means “Fire of God” of “Light of God” will assist you with self-empowerment, self-control, tact and foresight through your Solar Plexus located just above your navel, the center of your physical universe, the beginning of life as we know it. The life lessons for the Solar Plexus Chakra are related to the ego, personality, self-esteem, and re-claiming your own power to manage yourself in positive ways.

Uriel is considered one of the wisest Archangels because of his intellectual information, practical solutions and creative insight, but he is very subtle.  You may not even realize he has answered your prayer until you’ve suddenly come up with a brilliant new idea.

Uriel warned Noah of the impending flood, helped the prophet Ezra to interpret mystical predictions about the coming Messiah and delivered the Cabal to humankind.  He also brought the knowledge and practice of alchemy and the ability to manifest from thin air, as well as illuminates situations and gives prophetic information and warnings.

All this considered, Uriel’s area of expertise is divine magic, problem solving, spiritual understanding, studies, alchemy, weather, earth changes and writing.  Considered to be the Archangel who helps with earthquakes, floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, natural disaster and earth changes, call on Uriel to avert such events or to heal and recover in their aftermath

In the eighth century, the Christian Church became alarmed at the rampant and excessive zeal with which many of the faithful were revering Angels.  For some unknown reason, in 145 A.D. under Pope Zachary, a Roman council ordered seven Angels removed from the ranks of the Church’s recognized Angels, one of them being Uriel.

Archangel Jophiel

whose name means “The Beauty of God” will assist you in healing emotional wounds, seeing past appearances, seeing beauty, and Unconditional Love through your Heart Chakra located in the center of your chest. The life lessons for the Heart Chakra are related to love, forgiveness, compassion, and healing.

Jophiel was the Angel present in the Garden of Eden and later watched over Noah’s sons.  The Archangel of art and beauty, he is the patron of artists, helping with artistic projects, thinking beautiful thoughts, to see and appreciate beauty around us.  Helping to create beauty at home and at work, Jophiel is the Archangel for interior decorators.   He illuminates our creative spark by giving us ideas and energy to carry out artistic ventures.  He also helps us to see the beauty in all things, including people.

As well as helping our creativity, Jophiel helps us to slow down and smell the roses.  Call on him if you need joy and laughter in your life or if you feel you’ve lost the light in your life.  He will also help if your soul is sleeping and needs awakening and if you wish to awaken a deeper understanding of who you are and seeking a connection with the higher self, so that you may take your first steps along your spiritual pathway.

You know Jophiel is at work if you are searching for answers to the questions in your life and wish the greater wisdom to be revealed to you, and all of a sudden you experience flashes of insight in which everything suddenly becomes clear.

Archangel Zadkiel

whose name means “Righteousness of God” will assist you in listening, hearing and beings heard with integrity learning to discernment truth from untruth through your Ear Chakras. The life lessons for the Ear Chakras are related to hearing, being heard, willing to listen with compassion and empathy.

Archangel Zadkiel is one of my favorite archangels because he brings so much joy into my world in the form of the violet flame.

He works on God’s seventh ray which is the ray of light that is violet. This ray is such a high frequency that it literally scrubs us clean on the etheric level of our being.

Our negative thoughts and feelings tie up the energy that God gives us daily, and this can weigh us down. It leaves us feeling dense and unhappy.

However, if we invoke the violet flame using mantras and visualization, it transmutes the bad karma we have made (cleanses us from ‘sin’) leaving us feeling joyful and light.

Zadkiel with his consort Holy Amethyst bring us soul freedom, justice, mercy, and forgiveness.

Have you ever noticed the wonderful joy and happiness you feel when you have truly forgiven someone? This is why Archangel Zadkiel is the bringer of joy. By enabling us to forgive with the help of the violet flame we then become joyful. I know I am certainly so much more joyful now after having given many years of violet flame mantras.

I remember the first week I started using violet flame mantras in the morning, I arrived at work each day grinning from ear to ear! It was such an amazingly happy experience. Archangel Zadkiel and his angels have been diligently dissolving the painful memories and negative traits that I have been holding on to ever since (because I keep asking them to).

You can call to Zadkiel to help you with being more tolerant and diplomatic too. If you are a scientist, engineer, architect, actor or performer he invites you to look to him for inspiration.

Isn’t it painful when you see on the news another war or strife between different ethnic groups? They seem to be held in an endless round of tit-for-tat actions, getting back at their enemies for past atrocities…

Well now you no longer need feel powerless in the face of these situations because you can just send a prayer to Archangel Zadkiel and his bands of violet flame angels. Ask them to dissolve the memories of the difficulties between these people and inspire the peaceful agreements.

You can also ask Zadkiel to inspire the creative negotiation and writing of laws because justice is another interest of his.

Zadkiel and Amethyst have an etheric retreat called the Temple of Purification on the spiritual level above the islands of Cuba. You can ask the violet flame angels to take your soul there while you sleep at night.

Archangel Gabriel

whose name means “Messenger of the Word of God” or “God Is my Strength” will assist you in speaking your truth with clarity, loving kindness, and integrity through your Throat Chakra. The life lessons for the Throat Chakra are related to will, self-expression, speaking one’s truth. It is not always about speaking your truth allowed, it is essential to speak your truth to yourself, accepting who you are.

The only Archangel depicted as female in art and literature, Gabriel is known as the “messenger” Angel and is one of the four Archangels named in Hebrew tradition and is considered one of the two highest-ranking Angels in Judeo-Christian and Islamic religious lore. Apart from Michael, she is the only Angel mentioned by name in the Old Testament.  She is a powerful and strong Archangel, and those who call upon her will find themselves pushed into action that leads to beneficial results.

Gabriel can bring messages to you just as she did to Elizabeth and Mary of the impending births of their sons, John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth. If you are considering starting a family, Gabriel helps hopeful parents with conception or through the process of adopting a child.

Contact Gabriel if your third eye is closed and your spiritual vision is therefore blocked. If you wish to receive visions of Angelic guidance regarding the direction you are going in. If you wish to receive prophecies of the changes ahead. If you need help in interpreting your dreams and vision.

Gabriel helps anyone whose life purpose involves the arts or communication. She acts as a coach, inspiring and motivating artists, journalist and communicators and helping them to overcome fear and procrastination.

Gabriel also helps us to find our true calling. Ask for Gabriel’s guidance if you have strayed from your soul’s pathway, if you wish to understand your life plan and purpose. She can also help if you can find no reason for being or if changes are ahead and you need guidance. If you are contemplating a house move, major purchase or thinking of changing careers.

Call Gabriel if your body is full of toxins and needs purifying and if your thoughts are impure or negative and need clearing and cleansing. Gabriel is also very helpful for women who have been raped or sexually assaulted and feel dirty as well as being under psychic attack or if you feel that you have absorbed someone else’s problems.

Archangel Raphael

whose name means, “God Heals” will assist you in healing the past, the present, in all directions of time and space through your Third Eye Chakra, allowing you to see your inner core essence of Divinity. Your Third Eye Chakra is located just above your eyebrows in the center of your forehead. The life lessons for the Third Eye Chakra are related to mind, intuition, insight, and wisdom.

Hebrew word rapha means “doctor” or “healer”.  Raphael is a powerful healer and assists with all forms of healing – humans and animals.  He helps to rapidly heal body, mind and spirit if called upon, as in the biblical story of Abraham and the pain he felt after being circumcised as an adult.  You may call upon Raphael in behalf of someone else, but he can’t interfere with that person’s free will.  If they refuse spiritual treatment, it can’t be forced.

The chummiest and funniest of all Angels, Raphael is often pictured chatting merrily with mortal beings.  He’s very sweet, loving, kind and gentle and you know that he’s around when you see sparkles or flashes of green light.

Part of Raphael’s healing work involves spirit releasement and space clearing.  He often works with Michael to exorcise discarnate entities and escort away lower energies from people and places.

As well as a healer, Raphael is known as the “Patron of Travelers” because of his help with Tobias and his travels.  Call upon Raphael when you are traveling, to assure safe travel.  In addition, he assures that all your transportation, lodging and luggage details go miraculously well.  Raphael also helps with inward spiritual journeys, assisting in searches for truth and guidance.

Raphael taught Tobias how to make balms and ointments from a fish which cured Tobias’ father blindness.  Raphael can be called upon to help healers such as doctors, therapist and surgeons.  Call on Raphael if you’re a student entering the healing field and you’re looking for the right school and/or are in need of help with studies, as well as getting the time and money for school.  He also assists with establishing healing practices when your schooling is finished.  Raphael not only helps you to heal from physical, emotional and mental pain, he also heals wounds from past lives.

Other areas Raphael helps with is finding lost pets, reducing and eliminating addictions and cravings, clairvoyance, bringing unity to your life, if you feel out of touch with your spirituality, if you’ve lost a partner and/or your soul/body doesn’t feel “whole”.

Archangel Taharial

whose name means “Purity of God” will assist you in opening your Crown Chakra, expanding your Spiritual connection with the Divine Source of All That Is. Your Crown Chakra is located just above the top of your head. The life lessons for the Crown Chakra are related to spirituality, oneness with the Divine, accepting Divine Guidance.

Archangel Raguel

Whose name means -  “Friend of God”

Referred to as the Archangel of Justice and Fairness, Raguel oversees all the other Archangels and Angels.  He watches over them to make sure they’re working well together in a harmonious and orderly fashion according to Divine order and will.

Raguel is the Archangel for the underdog.  Call on him for help when you need to be  empowered and respected.  He helps to resolve arguments, helps with cooperation and leads to harmony in groups and families.  Raguel defends the unfairly treated, and provides support with mediation of disputes.

In the Revelation of John, Raguel is referred to as an assistant to God in the following account: “Then shall He send the Angel Raguel, saying: Go and sound the trumpet for the Angels of cold and snow and ice, and bring together every kind of wrath upon them that stand on the left.”
