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. There is a debate as to the name of the
other Archangels. In the eighth century, the
Christian Church became alarmed at the rampant adoration of Angels by the
Christian community. For some unknown reason,
in 745 A.D. under Pope Zachary, a Roman council
ordered seven Angels removed from the ranks of the Church’s recognized Angels,
two of them being Archangels Uriel and Raguel. This website recognizes there
are many Archangels, and there's much debate to who they are and how many there
actually are, but we've listed the seven Judeo-Christian Archangels as:
Michael
Raphael
Gabriel
Uriel
Chamuel
Jophiel
Raguel
Additional Archangels
* Remember when you make your requests to an
Archangel, they are not able to interfere with your karma.

Michael
Also known:
Beshter
Mika'il
Sabbathiel |
Meaning
- "Who is like God", "Like unto God", "Who is like the Divine"
The first Angel 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

Raphael
Also known:
Labbiel
|
Meaning -
"Healing power of God", "The Divine has healed", "God heals"
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".

|
Meaning -
"Strength of God"; "The Divine is my strength"; "God is my strength"
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.

Uriel
|
Meaning
- "God is light", "God's light", Fire of God"
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.

Akrasiel
Raguil
Rasuil
Rufael
Suryan
|
Meaning -
"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

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."
Despite his exalted position,
for some unexplained reason Raguel was reprobated in 745 A.D. by the Roman
church (along with some other high-level Angels, including Uriel). At this
time Pope Zachary described Raguel as a demon who "passed himself off as a
saint".

Ariel for help. Ariel also works closely with Raphael to heal animals in

Angels as one of the fallen Angels who are routed by the stern and obedient

Azrael
Hebrew, Muslim |
The much feared Angel of
death in both Islamic and Hebrew lore, Azrael’s name means “whom God
helps.” Azrael’s primary role is to help people cross over to Heaven at the
time of physical death. He comforts people prior to their physical passing,
makes sure they don’t suffer during death and helps them assimilate on the
other side. Working as a grief counselor, he surrounds grieving family
members with healing energy and helps them cope and thrive, and absorbs
their pain.
Azrael has eyes and tongues
exactly equal to the number of people inhabiting the world. Each time he
blinks one of his eyes, it signifies that another person has died. Azrael
also keeps track of the dying by recording the births of the living and
erasing the names of those who have died.

Jeremiel
Ramiel |
In ancient Judaic texts, Jeremiel is listed as
one of the seven core Archangels, his name meaning ("mercy of God" or "whom
God sets up"). He is credited with helping Baruch, a prolific
author of apocryphal Judaic texts in the first century A.D., with his
prophetic visions. It is also said that he took Baruch on a tour of the
different levels of Heaven. The coming of the Messiah was one of
Jeremiel's visions. Jeremiel is that Archangel who review's our lives with
us after we've crossed over. He is also able to do this for us while
we're still living, helping us to review our life up till now so we can
correct the wrongs we've done by making positive adjustments. Through
this, he's able to help us make life changes, making us stronger and lead us
to the right path.

Metatron
Judaic, Cabalistic |
One of the only two Archangels whose name does not end in "el" and one of
the only two Archangels who were humans before becoming Angels (his brother
Elijah/Sandalphon being the other). His human name was Enoch.
The meaning of Metatron is unclear, but some believe it means "he who
occupies the throne next to the Divine throne", "the Angel of the Presence"
or that his name is a derivation of the name Yahweh, the Jewish term for the
unspoken sacred name of God. One of the most important Angels in the
Western tradition, he represents the supreme Angel of death, to whom God
daily gives orders as to which souls will be taken that day. Metatron
transmits these orders to his subordinates Gabriel and Sammael.
On earth Enoch was a prophet and scribe. He was also a scholar on
heavenly secrets, having received "The Book of the Angel Raziel", a textbook
about God's workings penned by Archangel Raziel and given to Adam, Noah,
Enoch and Solomon. As a result, God escorted Enoch directly to the seventh
Heaven - the highest level - to reside and work. Enoch was given wings and
transformed into a great Archangel named Metatron.
Since Metatron excelled at his work on earth, he was given a similar job
in Heaven to scribe the records of everything that happens on earth and keep
the Akashic records, which is the "Book of Life". He is the chief recorder
in Heaven and in charge of recording and organizing all the records. He
helps us understand Heaven's perspective and to learn how to work with the
Angelic realm.
He has a special place in his heart for children, especially those who
are spiritually gifted. After the Exodus, Metatron led the children of
Israel through the wilderness and into safety. He continues to lead children
today, both on Earth and in Heaven and helps them to adjust to Heaven after
crossing over.

Raziel
Judaic, Cabalistic |
Raziel works very closely with the Creator and its believed he knows all of
the secrets of the Universe and how it operates. He wrote down all of these
secrets in a tome of symbols and Divine magic called "The Book of the Angel
Raziel". After Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden, Raziel gave Adam
the book for guidance about manifestation and God's grace. Later the prophet
Enoch received the book prior to his ascension and transformation into
Archangel Metatron. Noah was also given a copy of the book by Archangel
Raphael and Noah used the information to build his ark and help its
inhabitants after the flood. Raziel can help you understand esoteric
material, manifestation principles, sacred geometry, quantum physics and
other high-level information. He can also open you up to higher levels of
psychic abilities and increase your ability to see, hear, know and feel
Divine guidance. Like a Divine wizard, Raziel can also assist you with
alchemy, clairvoyance, and divine magic.

Sandalphon
Judaic, Cabalistic |
Only one of the two Archangels whose name doesn't end with an "el",
Sandalphon is the twin brother of Archangel Metatron. The twins are the only
Archangels in Heaven who were originally mortal men. Sandalphon was the
prophet Elijah and Metatron was the wise man Enoch. God gave both men their
immortal assignments as Archangels to reward them for their good work upon
Earth, allowing them to continue their sacred service from Heaven.
Elijah's ascension occurred when he was lifted up to Heaven in a fiery
chariot pulled by two horses of fire, accompanied by a whirlwind, an even
recorded in the second chapter of the Book of 2 Kings.
Sandalphon's chief role is to carry human prayers to God so they may be
answered. He's said to be so tall that he extends from Earth to
Heaven. Ancient Cabalistic lore says that Sandalphon can help expectant
parents determine the gender of their forthcoming child and many also
believe that he's involved with music as well.
