Unwinding Universal Messages – Angel Numbers

Angel numbers are messages that the universe sends us in times of need. Humans are living in 3D lives. Three directions we are typically aware of in our reality are past, present and future. However, this limitation exists in our mind and physical reality, this vast universe has infinite possibilities and realities. Due to our ignorance of the other universes and realities divine has various ways to send us guidance in this reality. Many times despite receiving the guidance we have a hard time interpreting and implementing in our lives.

Divine and angels reach us through various mediums. This is the very reason the numerical digits or mathematical expressions came into play since numbers are within the human mind awareness and this is frequently encountered in our daily lives in various forms. Divine and angels choose to send us a particular frequency and repetitions to emphasise a particular situation that is boggling our minds. Have you been experiencing repeated numbers and particular digits in your daily lives? Then this is for you, in fact, this particular write-up was guidance from the universe. Here is an interpretation of various numbers to help you understand what the angel numbers could mean…

111 – When you see 111 continuously, angels and divine are trying to make you aware of your spiritual awakening, you might be starting or reaching a new height in that line. You are being sent a message that you will attract what matches your vibration. You are being reminded of starting to think of leaving the past where it was and attract thoughts that are in your best interest. Be Aware!

222 – Are you looking for balance in your life? Pay attention to your thoughts! Divine is asking you to choose your words carefully since they become your manifestations. Life is a long journey and things will fall into its perfect place when you align with the highest vibration of gratitude. Harmonize with yourself and others. Ask and you shall receive is the message you are being sent. Write, say and pray your desires & worries, allow the universe to send you what you are ready for.

Stay positive no matter what, it’s a phase that you are going through and will alter depending on your thought process. Your thoughts are being manifested. Think of the best for yourself and others.

Abundance is your new best friend. Are you aligned?

999 – The infinite force of forgiveness will change your course of life. Move beyond your existing vibration. Release past and move. Give away what you desire most, so it comes back multiplied. Be kind and gentle towards self and others. The road to hope is within your reach by selflessly serving other beings. Angels have been guiding you so far and will lead you further to help you reach new heights of being human.

000 – 0 itself signifies completion and all that starts will end. Nothing is forever. Do not connect with outcomes, give your best effort to opportunities and relationships around you. You might see this when something for you is coming to a completion. What is it? If you have been hesitant of letting go or starting something new, here is the answer your angels have for you. No need to hold yourself back. Horizons of guidance have already been opened to you! Are you aligning your thoughts and actions to support your blessings? It’s about time now you create your own destiny.

Divine is not limited to a series of a particular number. The universe is eternal and ever-changing, there are many messages that you will receive from your angels. The idea is to let go of your ego, hurtful past & welcome new beginnings and monetary opportunities with open arms. When you are afraid of something you align with lower vibrational thoughts. Keep your vibes high by thinking the best of yourself and others, be of service to someone in need. Give away gently so even better things can cover that void in your soul. I wish you luck and love today and always. 

Earth Angels, Lightworkers, and the Watchers

Are you an Earth Angel?

Do you feel different from other people, as if you were dropped off on this planet and wonder when someones coming to take you home? If so, then you may be an Earth Angel. If you have a passion and talent for healing, teaching, or helping others, yet you yourself have substance abuse problems, weight issues, relationship challenges, and the like, then you may be an Earth Angel. If youre highly sensitive and you abhor violence in any form, then you may very well be an Earth Angel!

An Earth Angel is a soul with non-Earthly origins. Although all souls originate from the same Divine source, our environment and personal history often shape our personalities and physical characteristics. For instance, those who spend most of their time surfing at tropical beaches will have different looks and mannerisms than people who hole up in their inner-city offices every day.

Similarly, all of the lives youve previously lived have impacted you. And just as your physical family-of-origins shape your looks, behavior, even your lifes purpose. Again, the inside of everyone is the same: a beautiful, pristine spark for Divine light. However, as a light worker, your spark of light may have spent times in heavenly realms far from the earth. Those lifetimes that youve logged in the angelic realm, the elemental kingdom, or on other planets have influenced who you are today. Although you inhabit a human body, your soul feels like a traveler in a foreign country-because that is, in essence, what you are.

Not everyone is an Earth Angel, of course-for this role, God called in the biggest and brightest sparks of lighter for transition to the New Age of Peace. Those humans who arent Earth Angels are living lives purely for their own growth, rest, or enjoyment. They may seem dense or decidedly unspiritual, yet theyre Divine spark of life, too. Their lives have simply been dedicated to human, Earthly concerns.

The Earth Angels Vital Mission

If youre an Earth Angel, then youre a powerful light worker with a legacy of healing and miracles behind and in front of you. You accepted your Divine assignment to come to Earth and spread your teachings and healing energies. How has your assignment been so far? If youve have difficulty adjusting to Earthly life, then youll probably find answers, comfort, and guidance by remembering your spiritual origin.

You may discover that youre an Incarnated Angel or Elemental; a Starperson whose past lives have been extraterrestrial (ET); a Walk-in; or a Wise One, which is a reincarnated Sorceress, High Priestess, or Wizard. Youre a seasoned service worker called into action-an Earth Angel. You may have had past lives on Earth as an Incarnated Angel, Elemental, and such, yet you forgot these incarnations, believing that your past lives where human.

The term Earth Angel is not to be confused with Incarnated Angels, which is one of the five groups of Earth Angels. By learning about your spiritual realm of origin, youll understand more about your personality, behavior, and individual quirks. As I mentioned, this is similar to the was our astrological sun signs group us into meaningful categories.

The Healing Power of Lightworkers
by Doreen Virtue, PH. D.
Lightworkers are those who volunteered, before birth, to help the planet and its population heal from the effects of fear. Each lightworker is here for a sacred purpose. Very often, however, life on earth with its material focus creates a form of amnesia in lightworkers. They then forget their divine and perfect identities, and also their abilities to miraculously help the earth and all living creatures. When lightworkers forget their true identity and purpose, they feel lost and afraid.

You are a lightworker if you:
feel called to heal others want to resolve the world’s social and environmental problems believe that spiritual methods can heal any situation have had mystical experiences, such as psychic premonitions or angelic encounters have endured harsh life experiences that eroded the knowledge of your divine perfection want to heal your own life as a first step in healing the world feel compelled to write, teach, or counsel about your healing experiences feel a sense of time urgency to fulfill your mission before the know that you are here for a higher purpose, even if you are unsure what it is or how to fulfill it feel a sense of time urgency to fulfill your mission before the millennium shift

Everywhere on the planet right now, lightworkers are awakening to faint memories about why they came to earth. They hear an inner calling that can’t be ignored. This call is a reminder that it is now time to stop toying with material dreams, and get to work.

Many lightworkers are discovering innate spiritual gifts, such as psychic communication skills and spiritual healing abilities. These are the gifts that we volunteered to use to heal the earth and her population during the crucial decades surrounding the millennium.

Prophecies predicted our coming, and now it is time for us to fulfill our divine purposes. The world depends upon us!

We, who are lightworkers, don’t necessarily need to add anything to ourselves to prepare for our mission. We already have innate abilities, even if they are presently dormant. Instead, we need to work on releasing fears which keep us from feeling confident in our lightworker abilities. When you remind yourself that your power as a lightworker comes from your higher self and God, not from “you,” automatically you feel more assured of your abilities as a spiritual healer.

With our focused intent, thought, and spirit, we can heal anything. There are no limits, except those we place upon our healing abilities. We definitely can heal the earth with our spiritual approach. In fact, scientists have recently demonstrated that people can change water and air temperature and also cloud structures, purely through their thoughts.

Researchers have known for years that prayer positively affects plants and animals. These studies reveal something that many lightworkers have already known: our collective prayers and healing thoughts can avert prophecies of world trauma.

There is only one spirit and one mind, and we are all part of this collective intelligence and love. Miraculous results in scientific laboratories are demonstrating the factual basis of the oneness of all life. Last year, U.S. and Japanese scientists hooked-up test subjects to blood pressure and heart monitor machines. Simultaneously, in separate and sealed rooms, other test subjects were asked to think loving or angry thoughts about the people hooked-up to the machines.

At the exact instant when a subject held a loving thought, the monitored person’s blood pressure and heart rate significantly dropped. And then, at the precise moment when an angry thought was projected, the person’s vital signs sky-rocketed upward.

We who are lightworkers are already aware of the power of our thoughts. What we are continuing to learn, however, is that our thoughts arel.p. even more powerful than we suspected! A large part of our lightworker function, then, is to continuously monitor our own thoughts to ensure they are from a high and loving plane. When we occasionally slip into fearful or judgmental thoughts, we can release these thought forms to the angels which surround us, knowing that these spiritual companions want to help us fulfill our sacred purpose.

If your intuition is urging you toward a healing function, you can be sure that this is a Divine voice and not just wishful thinking. During the last several years, a spiritual call has been broadcast like a psychic “help wanted” ad asking for lightworkers to awaken to their healing roles.

Those who have heard the call sometimes contact me, asking for reassurance that this inner voice isn’t setting them up for disappointment or possible failure.

I can certainly understand this fear, since I experienced it myself. When I was a young mother of two and an uneducated housewife, I began having spontaneous visions in which I saw myself as a healer and author. These visions frightened me, because I didn’t think I had the time, money, or intelligence to succeed. So I began overeating to silence the inner voice and visions. I didn’t feel ready or qualified to awaken to my mission.

What I was doing was the equivalent of pushing the “snooze button” on my spiritual alarm clock. Overeating was my way of delaying God’s plan for me, because food would temporarily drown out the sound and sight of my Divine life plan. I gained nearly 50 pounds before I finally surrendered to the Creator and asked for help in making my inner vision a reality. I discovered that as soon as I committed to following my life purpose, doors opened up for me in succession. In miraculous ways that I could never have planned for, everything in my visions became a reality.

We cannot fail when we accept the mission we chose for ourselves prior to incarnation. The power and intelligence of the One mind makes no mistakes. We would not have been assigned our lightworker role, were we not perfectly qualified. Since we are made in the image and likeness of One who is all-knowing, all-loving, and able to heal anything, we can relax in the sure knowledge that we were born to heal.

THE WATCH
Also Known as Grigori)
Watcher Angels according to ThBook of Jubilees, are the sons of God sent from heaven to instruct the children of men; they fell after they descended to earth and cohabitated with the daughters of men — for which act they were condemned and became fallen angels. But not all Watcher angels descended; those that remain are the holy Watchers and they reside in the 5th Heaven. The evil Watchers dwell in the 3rd Heaven or in Hell.

The mysterious eighth order of angels, the gentle Grigori were created by God to be Earthly shepherds of the first humans.

The Grigori were both physically and spiritually gigantic, at least by the standards of the people who later wrote about them. They served early humanity as vast reservoirs of information concerning the finer points of civilization, and their selflessness was beyond compare.

They were also called the Watchers, as it was their job to observe humanity, lending a helping hand when necessary but not interfering in the course of human development.

As has been implied before, angels — though filled with God’s divine grace — are eminently corruptible in the corporeal world (physical plane) and, perhaps more importantly, when in the presence of humans. The Grigori, designed as the type of angels farthest from divine, proved to be so much more corruptible that it wasn’t long before their enormous zest for physical life, proved to be their undoing, from a spirititual perspective.

They took husbands and wives among the humans and led greatly debauched lives, neglecting their heavenly duties.

Legends tell us that the children the Grigori begot were hideous, misshapen monsters, now known in demonic circles as the Nephalim, and that a group of angels were quickly dispatched to destroy the half-breeds, after which the Grigori were damned to Earth for the remainder of their long lives.

This is mostly true. The Grigori, both for the sin of lust and for neglecting their duties, were banned from Heavenly society, doomed to spend the remainder of their days roaming the Earth.

The Seraphim Council believes that even speaking the name of the Grigori disturbs the Symphony — they refer to them as the Watchers, since that was their original duty. What few angels know, even today, is that besides their more famous gigantic spawn, the malevolent Nephalim, the Grigori did successfully engender half-breed children, part-angel and part-human.

Angels are strictly forbidden to associate with the Children of the Grigori or, God forbid, any actual remaining Grigori they might run across in the course of a mission.

The Watchers and the Watchtowers
Know the history of the Watchers and Watchtowers and why they are called upon in circle. If you don’t know their purpose, why call?

Early History
They are considered an old race who have gone past the need for physical bodies. Some claim they are light.

There are legends that say they came from the stars. They are the ones known as the Watchers. It is claimed that each of the four Watchers reigns over one of the four directions of the circle.

There were star cults in Mesopotamia around 3000 bce. One of the beliefs of these cults was that there were four major stars, each ruling over one of the four cardinal points. These stars where known as “Lords” or “Watchers.”

The Watcher of the East was the star Aldebaran.This star marked the time of the Vernal Equinox. The Watcher of the South was Regulus, marking the time of the Summer Solstice.

Marking the Autumnal Equinox was Antares, Watcher of the West. The North Watcher was the marker of Winter Solstice, Foralhaut.

Actual towers, called Ziggurats (cosmic mountains) were built as a form of worship. Each tower bore the symbols of the Watchers. During ritual celebrations the symbols were traced in the air with torch flames or wands, and the Watchers names were called.

The Watchers were thought of as gods that guarded the heavens and earth. Lunar and Solar cults eventually replaced the Star cults.

The Watchers became the gods of the four winds to the Greeks. The Christians took them over as “guardian angels.”
The Hebrews taught that all angels, known to them as Watchers, were ruled by four “higher” angels. They became the “Archangels” to the Cabalists.

John Dee 1527-1608 and Edward Kelly 1555-1597 and Enochian Magic

It is said Edward Kelly was a seer and alchemist, and John Dee was a sage. Kelly “received messages” from a group of beings of the spirit who claimed they were the same who had instructed Enoch. As Kelly received these messages, Dee wrote them down. His writings now compose the magickal system known as Enochian Magic. It is a system of angel magic influenced by Judeo-Christian beliefs.

The doctrine of Enoch is mathematical. According to Dee and Kelly, there are 49 tables of large number and letter squares. There are 48 Gates of Understanding, one gate can not be opened. The 49 tables has 49 rows by 49 columns. The directions of the angels, known as the Enochian Keys, were extracted from these charts.

There are 48 “Calls” or “Keys” that open the gates of these “astral residences.” These are symbolically represented by a large letter square. It is divided into four parts by a large cross, called “The Black Cross” by Dee. These four quadrants are called the Watchtowers. You are able to access 12 astral cities through each Watchtower.

The Watchers are the angels who live in these astral cities. In order for the angels to leave their cities and enter human consciousness the gates to the Watchtowers must be opened. Each city is represented in the table by a set of letters in numerical and geometric pattern.

The four Watchtowers guard the 4 extremities of the universe. These Watchtowers are said to have been formed at the time Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden.

The Watchtowers contain all human knowledge and command the elemental spirits. They are said to also have the power of the transformation of things. They hold the secrets to all of mankind.

Modern Use of the Watchtowers
The Modern use of Watchtower Elementals is said to be derived from the works of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelly.

It is also said that Aleister Crowley introduced Gerald Gardner to the Elementals (see below), who then wrote them into his own work.
Many Wicca systems have their own versions of the Watchtowers and Watchers. Some see the Watchers as demi-gods, spiritual teachers, cosmic intelligence or beings composed of light. In some eclectic solitary systems, they may not be used at all.

The Watchers are known as Lords, Elemental Rulers or Guardians of the Elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. These Elements are said to be populated by Elementals, a type of spiritual creature.

The Gnomes populate the Element of Earth and are seen as “Little People” or green light. They are the givers of stability and material gain. They also protect circles cast outdoors.

Sylphs are of the Air and are seen as fairies or white light. They hold the keys to knowledge, dreams and wishes, and are protectors of magickal applications.

The salamanders inhabit the Element of Fire and may be seen as dragons or lizards. They are protectors of the home or business. Undines, the Elementals of Water, may be “merpeople”, sirens, or pink light. Undines are protectors of the gates of death and karma.

It is taught in some systems of magick that there are two sets of portals in a magick circle. Picture a circle within a circle. The inner circle contains Portals of the Elementals at the East, South, West and North. The outer circle contains the Portals of the Watchers, also known as Astral Portals. The corridor between the circles is known as “The World Between the Worlds.”

Some are taught that this dimension must exist for ritual and/or magickal energies to flow between the Worlds. The Elemental Portals represent the point of access to the Elemental Plane which exists between the Physical and Non-Physical, or Astral, Dimensions. The Elemental Rulers guard the Portals between this World and the Astral.

Some consider it a circle within a square, with the Watchtowers at the outer corners.

The Watchers are said to guard the direct access to the Astral Plane. Each Watcher has its own Watchtower. It is taught they have the power to cancel your magick.
GreyWing does not agree with the above teaching. She does not use the Watchers, nor does she think they are necessary, but that is her opinion. She does call on the powers of the Directions. If a spell has not worked she feels it is not right to say “The Watchers were against my working.” It is more likely that you were unsure of what you were doing, and your subconscious overrode your intended outcome. The mind is a powerful thing, conscious and subconscious.

There are magickal gestures to announce that a magickal rite will be performed. Such a gesture is the drawing in the air of a Pentagram.

These gestures, along with tools and clothing such as robes, are to get you into the proper frame of mind for magickal work, a signal to let your subconscious mind that something special is about to happen.

The Watchers may be called upon to guard the Circle and witness the ritual to be performed. Every time you perform a spell you are sending out strong vibrations to the entire universe. No matter how good your intentions are, you may be at risk when you work a spell. For this reason some witches call upon the Watchers for protection. If in your self-initiation ritual you called on a Watcher to be with you, he/she will always watch and aid you in future magickal endeavors, if you so choose.

They may also assist in a Wiccan’s spiritual growth, but that too, in GreyWing’s opinion, is actually in your own hands. If you are not ready, your mind will drift, letting you know the time is not right for you.
Every time you perform a spell you use the essences of the four elements, earth, air, fire and water. For example, candle magick uses Fire and Air.

It is important to know what each element means when you call on them. What do you mean by Air? You have to know which manifestation of Air you need for your working. This needs to be decided before you begin your circle so that the aspect of the element you wish to call is correct for what you are doing.

Will you choose the Watchers or not? It is for you to decide.
“the Fathers of the beginning,…the Mothers, the Spirits who were before the first spirit…” 

A Ritual With Seven Angels

This would be a suitable ritual for welcoming a new baby or child into a family whether in birth, by adoption or through the joining of two existing families.

It may also be used for sending a teenager out into the world.

You can also adapt the ritual to welcome adults into a family or help them to move on to a new phase or place.

You might like to use a seven-branched candlestick, like the Jewish menorah, and light a candle on seven consecutive hours throughout the day.

You could carry it out on the baby’s christening or a naming day or on a quiet day with the teenager.

Alternatively, you could perform the ritual for seven days at the same hour of the day on the week before the christening or departure and make this a special family-orientated hour.

It does not matter in which order you invoke the angels.

Start at the hour that suits you best.

If you keep to the same hour, you will work with the energies of each of the archangels over a seven-day period.

Alexandra, a friend who carried out the ritual for her son Sam who was going away to college, began on the first hour at sunset on Wednesday, which meant the ritual used the energies of the archangel Michael.

The final ritual on the Tuesday was Sam’s leaving party. Sam joined in the final candle-lighting just before his party and later said that when he was lonely or scared at college, he remembered the candles and felt protected.

If you cannot obtain candles of the right colour, use white. If you cannot find the right angelic fragrance, substitute lavender or sandalwood – these are all-purpose.

For angelic crystals, use any of the colours associated with the angel, if the specific ones you want are not available.

The crystals need only be tiny. I have set this out as a seven-day ritual but if you are instead holding the ritual on seven consecutive hours, then consult the tables above for the order of angels, as this will be different.

You can start at any day or hour as long as you use the fragrances and candles or their substitutes of the ruling angel.

Take your seven angel candles and place them in holders.

Light a golden candle as the hour begins and then light your frankincense incense.

Take a small, clear crystal quartz for Michael and pass it through the candle flame,

saying:

Flame high, O power of illumination, enter might of Michael’s sword, inspiration, life-bringer.

Pass the crystal through the smoke of the incense, saying:

Enter through this fragrance the clear vision of Michael, fire of the Sun, light-bringer.

Hold the crystal high in the air and circle it deosil, over the child, if present. If they are absent or would be self-conscious, use a photograph or personal item belonging to the child,

saying:

Endow, O Michael, – [name the child] that he/she may have the powers of originality and the creativity to make the world a better place by his/her presence here.

Place the crystal in a clear dish in front of the candles and blow out the candle, sending the light to the person.

Leave the incense to burn through and spend the rest of the hour in a pleasurable way with the focus of the ritual or in a family-orientated activity.

On the second day at the same hour, light the Michael candle and the silver Gabriel candle, plus some myrrh incense.

Take a moonstone, or other crystal of Gabriel, and pass it through the flame of the silver candle,

saying:

Flame high, O mystical guardian, with thy mighty sceptre, ruler of the waters of the Moon and the oceans, bringer of dreams.

Pass the crystal through the incense,

saying:

Enter through this fragrance, the compassion and understanding of Gabriel, truth-bringer and clarion of hope.

Hold the crystal high in the air over the child or their symbol and circle it deosil,

saying:

Endow, O Gabriel, – [name the child] that he/she may speak always wise words and gentle counsel, drawn from the depths of the universal well of wisdom.

Place this crystal in the dish with the crystal quartz and blow out first the Michael and then the Gabriel candle, sending the light to the child.

Leave the incense to burn.

Again, spend a quiet but joyful hour.

On the third day at the same hour, light the first two candles and then the red Samael candle and some dragon’s blood incense.

Take a bloodstone and pass it through the Samael candle,

saying:

Flame high, O protective spirit, dispelling danger and darkness, warrior of flame, bringer of faith.

Pass the crystal next through the incense,

saying:

Enter through this fragrance, the courage and determination of Samael, defender of the weak and oppressed.

Hold the crystal high in the air over the child or symbol, and circle it deosil,

saying:

Endow, O Samael, – [name the child] that he/she may never falter from a challenge and fear none who seek to oppress or intimidate with harsh words or unjust deed.

Place this crystal in the bowl with the others and blow out the candles, ending with the Samael candle, sending the light to the child and leaving the incense to burn through.

On the fourth day at the same hour, light the first three candles and then the yellow Raphael candle and lavender incense.

Take a citrine and pass it through the Raphael candle,

saying:

Flame high, great messenger, with thy pilgrim’s staff, bringing safety to travellers far from home, O guide and keeper of all.

Pass the crystal next through the incense,

saying:

Enter through this fragrance, the healing and nurturing powers of Raphael, teacher and uplifter of the spirit.

Hold the crystal over the child or symbol and circle it deosil,

saying:

Endow, O Raphael, – [name the child] that he/she may pass between the dimensions and be as at home in the world of spirit as of matter.

Place the crystal in the bowl with the others and blow out the candles, ending with the Raphael candle, sending the light to the child and allowing the incense to burn through.

Again, spend time in a positive family way.

On the fifth day at the same hour, light the four candles, then the blue candle of Sachiel and some sandalwood incense.

Take a lapis lazuli and pass it through the blue candle flame,

saying:

Flame high, lord of all abundance, bringing increase of all that is good and noble and joy-giving.

Pass the crystal next through the incense,

saying;

Enter through this fragrance, the benign and all-encompassing powers of Sachiel, bringer of knowledge and understanding of the universe and its creatures.

Hold the crystal high over the child or symbol and say:

Endow, O Sachiel, – [name the child] that he/she may know prosperity of spirit as well as of material blessings, and share willingly with others the fruits of good fortune won by endeavour and application.

Place the crystal in the dish and blow out the candles, ending with the Sachiel candle, sending its light to the child and leaving the incense to burn through.

On the sixth day at the same hour, light the five other candles and the green Anael candle and some rose incense.

Take a rose quartz crystal and pass it over the green candle,

saying:

Flame high, gentle peace-bringer, spreading harmony and goodwill even where there is division.

Pass the crystal next through the incense,

saying:

Enter through this fragrance, the love and fertility of Anael, bringer of reconciliation and connections between souls as well as mind and body.

Hold the crystal high over the child or symbol and circle it deosil,

saying:

Endow, O Anael, – [name the child] that he/she may love all creatures, man, woman, child, bird, animal, plant and all sacred places, which is the whole world.

Blow out the candles, the last being the Anael candle, and send the light to the child.

Leave the incense to burn through. Finally, on the seventh day at the same hour, light a purple candle and cypress incense for Cassiel.

Take an obsidian crystal and pass it through the purple candle flame,

saying:

Flame high, you who bring silence and contemplation to a noisy world, spreading stillness and detachment in which the spirit may thrive.

Pass the crystal next through the incense,

saying:

Enter through this fragrance the patience and perseverance of Cassiel, bringer of wise caution and preserver of all that is of worth in our heritage.

Hold the crystal high over the child or symbol,

saying:

Endow, O Cassiel, – [name the child] that he/she may turn obstacle into challenge and maximise opportunities within the constraints of what is possible, rather than lamenting what is not, and build on the foundations of the old world a new and better place.

This time, leave all the candles and the incense to burn through and if the child is present express in your own words, even to a tiny baby, how much you treasure them in your life and how they have enriched your being. Give the crystals to the child.

Archangels and their Seven Days of the Week

Michael

Michael is the archangel who rules the Sun.

Michael’s day is Sunday.

Michael, the Initiator, brings illumination and inspiration in many spheres of life, through the efforts of our individual creative spirit.

Michael is the guardian of all who stands alone with their unique vision for bettering the world and are not prepared to compromise their ideals for humanity, purely for money or fame.

This archangel can be invoked in ritual for all creative ventures, for original ideas and individuality, for contact with the Divinity and the Spirit Guides, for reviving barren land despoiled by industrialisation, and for cleansing air pollution.

He is sometimes called the Severity of God and as such is an angel of cleansing and of righteous anger.

One of the seven regents of the world and said to be served by two million angels, he is also called the Dark Angel who in the guise of the serpent tempted Eve.

This is a very ancient concept in which kings and rulers were constantly tested to prove worthy of their sacred trust and so he is not an angel to invoke lightly.

Samael is also the avenger who offers protection to the weak and vulnerable and cleanses doubts and weakness, replacing them with spiritual courage to stand against what is corrupt, especially those who abuse power.

He can be invoked for rituals to relieve those in war-torn lands, minorities who are being oppressed and endangered species.

Angelic Correspondences

You can, if you wish, use angelic rulers instead of planetary ones for the magical hours, or combine the energies of both.

In practice, if your magick has a spiritual focus or is concerned with healing or global or ecological matters, angels work better than planets.

If you have calculated your daily planetary hours, your angels will correspond exactly.

As with the planets, each archangel rules the first hour after sunrise of his own day.

Though many people do regard the Archangels as male, they are androgynous and so I have called them ‘he’ merely for convenience.

Many magicians from the Middle Ages onwards have used angels as part of formal rituals.

They have long been a potent form of psychic protection both for guarding the four corners of the ritual circle and as personal guides in less formal magick.

A Ritual to meet your Guardian Angel

Spirit work in the hoodoo and conjure tradition often involves enlisting the psychic aid of discarnate entities in order to accomplish specific prayerful, spiritual, or spell-casting goals.

Spirit Work is also a term that covers a broad range of altar work and prayer as well as magical traditions of spell casting in which root doctors may contact or seek the aid of spirits, angels, and spirit guides.

Items Needed

Altar Candle

Day candle

Offertory Candles

3 Violet candles

3 White candles

Crystal ball or glass of water

Anise,

cardamom, or coriander incense

Jasmine,

lemon,

rose, or sandalwood oils

Cinnamon,

frankincense,

myrrh, or sandalwood bathing herbs

Preparation

Breathe deeply and build a ball of protective light around you.

While soaking in your ritual bath, meditate on the whole ritual:

the steps you will take and what you wish to say to your Guardian Angel when you make contact.

Ritual

Enter the circle and light the incense. With the oil, dress the altar candle and the day candle while concentrating on the purpose of the ritual.

Light the anointed candles and state your intent:

I am here to make contact with my Guardian Angel and to acknowledge him or her.

With a sharp instrument (perhaps an athame), inscribe the violet candle 1 with the word “Angel.”

Dress it with oil. Light it, direct your energies into it, and say:

Here do I light the first Lamp of my Guardian Angel. May its light reach out across the barriers from this world to the next.

May it make contact with that World of Angelic Realm into which we will eventually enter.

Take your censer or incense wand and swing it around censing the whole area around the altar, while rhythmically repeating the word “Merge” and building up energy to focus.

Replace the censer and pick up violet candle

2. Inscribe it again with the word “Angel” and dress it with the oil.

Put it back on the altar, light it, direct your energy into it and say:

Here do I light the second Lamp of my Angel.

May its light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next.

May it make contact with that World of the Angelic and help spread the light, illuminating the passageway between our worlds.

Again, take the censer or incense wand and cense the entire area around the altar while chanting the word “Merge” Build up your energy to focus.

Take violet candle 3, inscribe with the word “Angel,” dress with oil, charge with your energy, light it and say:

Here do I light the third Lamp of my Angel.

May its light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next.

May the light from these three lamps blend and grow, dispelling all darkness and lighting the way that my Guardian Angel may come to me and speak with me here today.

Inscribe the 3 white candles with the word “Truth” and anoint each candle with oil.

Light the 3 white candles in order of 1, 2, 3, and say:

Here do I build Truth. As these candles burn throughout this ritual, their power generates nothing but the truth in all that transpires between this world and the next.

Through these candles there is truth in all communications that come to me.

Again, cense the entire altar area while chanting the word “Merge.”

Replace the censer and continue chanting.

Sit comfortably while chanting, and gaze into the crystal ball or the clear glass of water.

Continue chanting until you feel it is right to let the chant taper off.

Continue to quietly look into the crystal ball or glass, not trying to picture anything.

Keep your mind blank, so whatever comes will appear in its own free will.

Gaze into the center of the crystal.

There is no need to try not to blink.

Look into the crystal and blink naturally.

Try not to notice anything in your peripheral vision, just the center of the crystal.

Eventually, an angelic face or angelic figure will appear.

This may take a long time, or it may appear almost immediately.

If it doesn’t come at all within approximately 20 minutes, abandon this attempt, extinguish the candles in the order in which they were lit, leave the altar set up, and try this ritual again in three days.

You should have results within a month at most.

When a figure does appear, ask if he or she is your Guardian Angel.

You will hear an answer.

You may not hear it out loud, or even see the figure’s lips move, but you will be aware of the answer.

This is how most of your conversation will proceed.

You will ask your questions mentally (or out loud) and the answers will be clear inside your mind.

Ask if you have more than one guardian angel. If yes, ask the others to appear also.

You may ask anything you wish to know, but it is suggested to establish a connection first where your Angel may appear to you at any time, or at specific times so that you can converse with other spirits through him or her.

When you have finished speaking with your Guardian Angel, thank him or her, and then sit for a moment with your eyes closed, meditating on all that you have learned.

Extinguish the candles in reverse order to clear the circle.

Different classes of angels

There are many different classes of angels, and they can vary from the merciful Healing Angels to the daunting Angels of Judgment, and the fierce Reapers.

Planets and Angels

Different days of the week and hours of the day and night are associated with specific energies and each particular time is ruled by a planet and an archangel.

Though these were primarily centred on ceremonial magick, they can also be used to give focus and potency to informal spells.

The planetary and angelic hours can also be applied to the everyday sphere.

For example by choosing the appropriate day and even hour for beginning a money-making scheme or a first meeting with a potential business partner or lover.

You can further amplify the salient qualities and strengths of these times by using oils, incenses, colored candles, and crystals linked with the specific planets and angels.

There are also strong connections between the planet and the angel of the day, though angelic magick tends to be used, not surprisingly, for rituals with a more spiritual and ecological or global focus.

As you discover particular combinations that work well, you can add them to your Book of Shadows.

Planetary Magical Days Of The Week

The planets have had a special place in both ritual magick and astrology.

Since the Ancient Babylonians and Chaldeans first observed them wandering across the sky

The word ‘planet’ derives from the Greek planets, meaning ‘wanderer’ against the fixed constellations of the zodiac.

The ancients knew of only five planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus.

Neptune and Pluto were discovered only after the invention of the telescope and so have not assumed the importance in magick that they have in astrology.

What is more, the first astronomers also counted the Sun and the Moon as planets and credited them with certain qualities that have become woven into the Western astrological and magical traditions.

Astrologers believe that the positions of the planets in the zodiac at the time of an individual’s birth can influence and indicate that person’s fate.

In magick, the planetary strengths can be applied to any purpose under the As above, so below’ principle that stresses the interconnectedness of the whole universe.

You can create your own spells by using the associations, much as you create recipes by knowing the qualities and blending power of individual ingredients.

And just as in cookery, those spells or recipes where you break away from the set formula are often the most successful.

For example, if you wanted to do well in an interview for a job, you might burn a wish in a candle of the colour blue – for careers – on Thursday.

Thursday is the day of Jupiter, who is associated with employment and worldly success and all matters of increase.

For extra potency, the candle could be surrounded with small blue sodalite or lapis lazuli, Jupiter’s special crystals.

You could also burn cedar, one of Jupiter’s incense, or sandalwood oil.

If you need more general career success, you could make or buy an amulet of tin, the metal of Jupiter.

Perhaps this could be a coin from a museum shop that you charged with power every Thursday by sprinkling it with salt, passing it through cedar incense, a blue candle flame, and the fragrance of burning sandalwood oil.

If your projected job was to do with communication, technology or the media which are ruled by Mercury, you could carry out the spell on two consecutive days, beginning with the communicative power of Mercury on his hour, the third after sunset on a Wednesday.

You could light yellow candles and use a Mercurian crystal, such as yellow jasper or a yellow-banded agate, and burn dill incense and fennel essential oil.

On the second day of the spell, the Thursday, carry out the spell again at the third hour after sunset, which on this day is Jupiter’s evening hour, to add his authority and opportunities for expansion.
