The Archangels and their Divine Responsibilities
Each one of us has a
Heavenly Support Team which is made up of God, the Archangels, past spiritual
masters (highly spiritual beings who walked the Earth), spirit guides, and
loved ones in spirit. All of these beings hear your prayers which are sent
through the invisible network at heart of our spirits which connects us with
all beings. When praying, many appeal to our Creator, God, with prayers first
and foremost. When calling on specific Archangels, past spiritual masters, spirit
guides, and loved ones in spirit to help, we are asking God’s appointed
specialists and volunteers to assist us directly through the gifts bestowed
upon them by God to act as an advocate on our behalf for the delivery and
answering of our prayers.
The Archangels have been
given the monumental task of managing life on Earth, including the creation and
facilitation of soul contracts, life paths, the spiritual development of souls,
order within the natural world, and much more. Each Archangel has a different
area of expertise which works in conjunction with all of the other Archangels
to ensure the best possible journeys for all on Earth while working in tandem
with Heaven and God’s plans.
The Archangels Assist
Humankind
There are many orders of
angels. The Archangels, by special appointment by God, have been tasked with
the helping of humanity as we journey through our lives on Earth. Each one has
specific areas of concentration and can be called upon at any time for
assistance. The Archangels do not tire and can be in more than one place at a
time. They like us to call on them for help, for it is within the asking that
we acknowledge their presence and can attribute the miracles we experience to
their loving assistance and God’s hand.
While it is comforting to
have a formal prayer to request assistance, it is not necessary. When I ask for
help, I speak to the Archangels as I would with my best friends, in a
conversational tone. It is important to note that the way the Archangels appear
to me may be slightly different for each person with regard to the colors of
the energies, what they are holding, and the form of the animal spirit. Your
personal experiences with the Angels and how they appear to you can be a very
unique experience which is dependent upon your personal symbols and databank of
experiences. Archangels can appear to you with either male or female
attributes. As beings in spirit, there is no set gender and, therefore, will
come to you in the form with which you are most comfortable. The list below
includes some of the more well-known Archangels, including brief explanations
of their areas of expertise and what you can call on them for, as well as how
they appear to me in energetic form, relatable visual images seen through my
gifts of clairvoyance (aka., extrasensory seeing), and symbolic animal forms.
Archangel Michael – The
Great Defender and Protector
Of all the Archangels,
Michael is the head of this order. He is often depicted with sword in hand. He
appears to me as bright and shimmering golden energy (this color is associated
with the higher heavenly energy chakras located well above the head), as an
image of a brilliant golden wing, in human form dressed in white with wings and
carrying a sword or glowing with a gold aura, and in the form of birds of prey,
such as falcons and hawks. He is the Great Defender of all that is good. He can
be called upon for strength and courage, as well as protection. He often
appears to let you know you are protected and loved. His presence is reassuring
and powerful. In healing situations, he is there to strengthen the
determination to heal, provide positive energy through love, and encourage the
continual search for truth within the depths of your soul. His healing extends
to all aspects of the mind, body, and spirit, including healing from the loss
of a loved one, addictions, physical ailments, depression, the restoration of
faith, and assistance with the cutting of relationship cords. Archangel Michael
is also the protector of those who work within the light of God.
Archangel Raphael – The
Divine Healer of Physical Ailments
This amazing Archangel has
been tasked with the healing of humankind on every level, but especially for
the healing of the physical bodies of all living creatures. Raphael appears to
me as deep royal blue energy (this color is associated with the third-eye
chakra located on the forehead between the eyebrows), in human form dressed in
white with wings and hands held at chest-level facing outward to bring healing
or with a stunning azure blue aura, and in the form of a wolf or deer. The
nurturing energies of the wolf as it cares for its young, as well as its strong
loyalty and fierce protectiveness are combined to help with the healing
process. Archangel Raphael may appear in the form of a deer as a sign of
reassurance regarding healing and as a reminder to be gentle with the self and
others as you go through the healing process. Call on Archangel Raphael when
you or those that you love are in need of healing of the physical body.
Archangel Azrael – The
Benevolent Transformer of Mental and Emotional Anxieties
A tower of strength, this
Archangel’s responsibilities include helping us to heal from the loss of a
loved one, as well as from depression and illnesses which affect our mental and
emotional systems. Archangel Azrael also helps those in the process of
transitioning from life on Earth to an existence in Heaven. This Archangel
appears to me as bright red energy, which is associated with the root chakra at
the base of our spines. Red is a grounding energy which helps us to be at home
here on Earth. Archangel Azrael also appears to me in human form dressed in
white holding a red, glowing heart symbolizing the love employed with healing,
and as a reminder of our connection with one another through unconditional
love. Doves are another form Archangel Azrael takes as they are signs of peace
and carry with them the reminder to be at peace with yourself and your
circumstances. When calling on Archangel Azrael for assistance with stressful
situations, addictions, grief, depression and mental or emotional illnesses,
the person on the receiving end of the assistance may experience an unusual
state of calm which settles over them. It is not a euphoric feeling, but rather
one of stability and inner stillness because Azrael is preventing the negative
voice of the human ego from penetrating and taking over the thoughts of the
recipient.
Archangel Uriel – The
Divine Pillar of Solitary Strength
A symbol of the wizened
hermit, this Archangel assists with feelings of loneliness which may threaten
to overwhelm from time to time. Archangel Uriel appears to me as light blue
energy (this color is associated with the throat chakra for speaking our truths)
or deep ochre or mustard-colored energy, which is associated with the solar
plexus chakra located in the area of the stomach and administrates intuition
and psychic energy. This Archangel also appears in human form with wings and
dressed in white carrying a lantern to light the way or in the animal form of a
blue jay or blue bird. Archangel Uriel helps us to learn how to be alone
without being lonely, how to appreciate our own company, and how to delve
within our spirits to reveal the mysteries of our existence. Any time you or
someone you love is experiencing sadness due to loneliness, call on Archangel
Uriel to help to see the wonders that exist within your soul or the soul for
whom you are praying. Moreover, you can call on Archangel Uriel to explore the
mysteries of the universe. Answers will be delivered through spirit
communication, automatic writing, meditation journeys, and epiphanies. When
this Archangel appears to you in the form of a blue bird or blue jay, it is to
provide a reminder to be mindful of your path and that your current thought
pattern may contain faulty information. Examine what you were thinking of when
you see a blue jay or blue bird to determine if Archangel Uriel was trying to
help you to see another side of a situation in order to steer you toward a more
positive outcome. Seeing the blue bird or blue jay may also provide a heads up
about a potentially negative situation that will appear. This is does not mean
a dire situation is about to occur, but rather one in which learning will be
required. The heads up provides you an opportunity to be ready to accept
whatever comes, knowing the issue is only temporary.
Archangel Chamuel – The
Divine Benefactor of Unconditional Love
This is the Archangel of
unconditional love and self-love. Archangel Chamuel appears to me in energy
form as soft green or pink energy filled with love (these colors are associated
with the heart chakra), in human form with wings and dressed in pink or green
robes with hands placed over the heart, and in the form of a rabbit or hare.
The energy of the rabbit is a reminder of gentle love and warmth. Rabbits
create burrows in the Earth to house themselves and their families. Grouped
together, they snuggle for warmth and care for one another when storms rage
overhead. In this manner, Archangel Chamuel brings us great warmth within our
hearts and encourages us to reach out to others with love and caring, as well
as to provide caring for ourselves. The healing this Archangel brings centers
around the heart chakra and the healing of emotional issues surrounding
relationships with ourselves and others. Call on Archangel Chamuel for help
with loving and appreciating who you are, as well as for help with all
relationships in your life.
Archangel Haniel – The
Divine Healer of Families and Relationships
The healing of family
bonds and relationships is the specialty of this Archangel. Appearing to me
energetically as pale blue energy (this color is associated with the throat
chakra which is important for communications), in human form with wings and
dressed in light blue with a gold chained necklace symbolizing how we are
linked to one another, and in the form of a turtle. The energy of the turtle
highlights relationships, as well as the healing of issues of abandonment. Call
on Archangel Haniel to help mend relationships within your family of birth,
adopted family members including friends who have become family, children, and
romantic relationships. The healing process of Archangel Haniel is a gentle
one. It centers on communication by encouraging the exchange of open dialog in
which both parties exchange thoughts and feelings in ways that can be heard and
accepted by you and others.
Archangel Gabriel – The
Great Messenger
This Archangel has been
tasked with the creation of ideas and creativity, belief in oneself and one’s
goals, and is known as the Great Messenger. Archangel Gabriel appears to me
energetically as vibrant violet energy (this color is associated with the crown
chakra at the top of the head through which spirit communication flows), in
human form with wings and dressed in white while holding the golden horn, and
in the form of a crow, raven, or lion. The energy of the crow and the raven
focus on messages from the Other Side. Archangel Gabriel acts as a muse to share
inspirational messages to those on Earth to stimulate progress and bring new
ideas into being. With that energy comes a strong belief in the self to carry
out the objectives and goals to completion. Spiritual openness and the ability
to utilize the simplicity, trust, and innocence we experience as children are
areas in which Archangel Gabriel assists. Call on Archangel Gabriel for help
with ideas, inspiration in creative pursuits, and the energy, opportunities,
and resources to complete projects. The energy of the lion, which symbolizes
the strength, determination and playfulness brought to us by Archangel Gabriel,
helps us with our goals while reminding us to take a rest when needed to
restore the mind, body, and spirit to full capacity.
Archangel Ariel – The
Great Earth Mother
As the Archangel who
oversees the planet Earth and all of its creatures, Archangel Ariel emphasizes
the natural world and its incredible healing powers. The Earth, which provides
everything we need to survive on a physical level, is vital to our human
existence. Archangel Ariel’s restorative powers and emphasis on the cycles and
rhythms of all life, assist us with graceful acceptance of life and death, of
love and loss, and brings us the positive energies associated with new beginnings
and balance. This Archangel appears to me energetically as light purple energy
mixed with pink (these colors are associated with the crown and heart chakras
that must remain in balance as we make our way through life), in human form
with wings and dressed in earth-toned colors and surrounded by trees and
multiple animals, and in the form of swans, geese, and ducks. The energy of
aquatic birds symbolizes the emotional nature of the soul, as well as the deep
peace that can be attained by gliding through life with deep trust in the path
you have chosen for yourself. Call on Archangel Ariel to help with prevention
and recovery of natural disasters, to assist with the thriving growth and good
health of animals and plants, and bring peace to your life through natural
means.
Archangel Metatron – The
Great Instigator of Powerful Change
A powerful initiator of
change, Archangel Metatron orchestrates events on Earth with a magical touch.
Miraculous events, transformations, and spirit-to-spirit communications are the
areas Archangel Metatron is passionate about. This Archangel appears to me in
energetic form as shimmering deep violet and silver energies (these colors are
associated with the crown chakra and the higher heavenly energy chakras located
well above the head), in human form with wings and dressed in violet and silver
while holding a spinning cube, and in the form of the butterfly or the majestic
eagles and condors. The energy of the butterfly is one of transformation and
swift change, which are brought about by calling on Archangel Metatron. The
energies of the eagles and condors symbolize sharp attention to detail while
also keeping an eye on the larger scope of events. Call on Archangel Metatron
to clear your mind of unnecessary clutter in order to pinpoint your focus on
what is truly important, to bring about positive changes with lightning speed,
and bring miracles to your life.
Archangel Zadkiel – The
Divine Guide of Life Paths and Sexuality
This hardworking Archangel
assists with issues surrounding forgiveness and all forms of abuse, as well as
occupations and productive use of time. Archangel Zadkiel appears to me as
vibrant orange energy (this color is associated with the sacral chakra located
two inches below the navel and is the seat of earthly experiences, including
sexuality and occupations), in human form with wings and dressed in khaki robes
and a tool in hand, and in the form of beavers and otters. The energies of the
beaver represent hard work while the energies of the otter are reminders to take
time out to play. Call on Archangel Zadkiel for assistance with working through
strong negative feelings and experiences in order to come to a place of
forgiveness of the self and others, for healing from situations of abuse, for
issues surrounding sexuality, when looking for a job best suited for your
skills and life path, and when you are in need of establishing a better
work/life balance.
Archangel Jeremiel – The
Divine Deliverer of Mercy and Grace
Amazing mercy, grace, and
justice is the primary focus of this Archangel. Appearing to me energetically
as shimmering deep emerald green and gold energies (these colors represent the
heart and higher heavenly energy chakras located well above the head),
Archangel Jeremiel provides a spiritual cleansing of our souls through the
provision of mercy, increased faith, and an easing of troublesome situations.
When appearing in my third-eye in human form, this Archangel appears with wings
wearing deep emerald robes shimmering with gold and silver ornamentation. In animal
form, Archangel Jeremiel shows symbolic representation through large felines,
such as the cheetah, leopard, and pumas, who defend their territories, use
quick bursts of speed and agility to accomplish goals, and move with great
confidence on the Earth. Archangel Jeremiel may also appear in the form of the
owl, known for its wisdom, attention to detail, and excellent sight and
hearing. Calling on this Archangel brings swift transformation of painful
situations while also providing an interlude to gather ones’ resources for any
pending battles. This is especially true for pending lawsuits and legal issues.
The meting out of justice in a way that benefits all parties, whether through
lessons or mercy, is overseen by Archangel Jeremiel.
Archangel Jophiel – The
Great Giver of Joy
Presenting as deep fuchsia
energy swirled with lighter pinks (these colors represent the emotional
portions of the heart chakra) in energetic form, Archangel Jophiel is the angel
of joy and positive transformations. When this Archangel appears in human form,
it is with wings and fine robes of deep and light pink with a jeweled scepter
in hand. In animal form, Archangel Jophiel appears as a heron, which is
symbolic of soaring to great heights and living life in a unique way by listening
within. Archangel Jophiel provides assistance with refocusing on positive
experiences of life, encouraging inner journeys which lead to the discovery of
soul-specific solutions for your life’s passions, and raising your energy
levels and thoughts toward the light to inspire the giving and receiving of
unconditional love. The keen intelligence, playfulness, and communal
relationships of the dolphins are additional animal energies which represent
Archangel Jophiel. Call on Archangel Ariel whenever you are in need of a boost
of strong positive energy.
Archangel Raguel – The
Divine Peacekeeper of Synchronicity
This Archangel is tasked
with the role of peacemaker for those on Earth and in Heaven. Archangel Raguel
has the unique position of maintaining balance and harmony while managing the
real time facilitation of events related to our soul contracts. For every
action, there is a reaction which affects the paths of our lives. Appearing in
energetic form as illuminated medium brown energy interspersed with gold hues
(these colors represent the warm and friendly energies of the Earth chakra
located below the feet and the higher heavenly energy chakras located above the
head), Archangel Raguel reminds us that we are here to help one another on our
journeys through life. This Archangel also coordinates with all of the other
Archangels to ensure the synchronicity of their collective services to humanity
and the natural world. In human form, Raquel appears with wings in flowing
white robes and a large book in hand. The book represents the Akashic records
stored within the Hall of Records, which contain all of the information about
what was, is, and will be for each being in existence. This Archangel appears
in animal form as the mouse, groundhog, opossum, skunk, and raccoon, all of
which reside out of site from humans. The energy of the mouse is quiet
productivity of the multitudes, while the groundhog digs deeper for answers and
represents the world of dreams, the opossum represents family nurturing, and
the skunk and raccoon represent the cleanup crew. Bees and ants are also
symbolic of this Archangel, as they represent working together in harmony, with
each member of the hive or hill following through with important tasks down to
the last detail. When faced with situations that seem out of sync, call on
Archangel Raguel to restore order and balance through peaceful means. You can
also appeal to Archangel Raguel for changes to your soul contracts, help with
teamwork or group situations, assistance with creating a harmonious environment
in your home and at your place of work, and the opportunity to explore the Hall
of Records through meditation and visions.
Archangel Raziel – The
Divine Keeper of Mysteries
As the gatekeeper of
divine information, Archangel Raziel governs the veil between the worlds of
Heaven and Earth, the subconscious, dreams, and the gifts of mediumship, also
known as spirit-to-spirit communication or spirit communication. This Archangel
appears to me in energetic form as brilliant white energy interspersed with
radiant rainbows of color (these colors represent the energy of Heaven, as well
as all of the combined energy centers of the soul). In human form, Archangel
Raziel emanates incredible white light while holding aloft a blazing ring in
the shape of a figure eight (also referred to as an infinity ring) representing
the infinite existence of our souls. Call on this Archangel when you are
searching for answers about the mysteries and inner workings of the universe,
when you need help with the interpretation of dreams, and when you need
assistance or are ready to work with the higher energies of Heaven through
spirit communication. In animal form, Archangel Raziel appears as birds with white
feathers, which represents the beauty and purity of the unconditional love from
which we were created. Additionally, this Archangel symbolically appears in the
form of fish, representing the fluidity of divine communications, situations of
divine emotional importance, and the surreal world of dreams.
Archangel Sandalphon – The
Divine Nurturer
Music in Heaven and on
Earth, as well as the sending and receiving of prayers, are the specialties of
this Archangel. Appearing as light beige energy swirled with pink and light
green (these colors represent the warm and friendly energies of the Earth
chakra located below the feet and the heart chakra), Archangel Sandalphon
nurtures our souls with music and is responsible for auditory communications
between Heaven and Earth, including prayers and clairaudient (extrasensory
hearing) spirit communications. In human form, Archangel Sandalphon appears
with wings in robes of white and carrying a glowing golden harp. In animal
form, this Archangel symbolically appears as frogs, crickets, cicadas, birds,
and other animals and insects that sing and make unique melodic sounds. You can
call on Archangel Sandalphon when you need assistance with the creation of
music, greater clarity and understanding with communication, sleep and
relaxation issues, anxiety, meditation, and the swift delivery of prayers
through this special advocate. Archangel Sandalphon calms the soul, encourages
smooth communications spoken from the heart of the spirit, and dutifully keeps
track of all of the prayers you send to Heaven with an emphasis on those in
need of special attention. Working in tandem with the Akashic Records of all
that was, is, and will be for your soul, Archangel Sandalphon reviews your life
path when prayers are received to determine the most beneficial ways to answer
them.
Archangel Barachiel – The

This Archangel loves to
boost your confidence and morale. Archangel Barachiel helps you to maintain a
positive outlook and has been given the task of facilitating miracles on Earth.
Appearing in energetic form as pink, red, white, and silver energies (these

as the higher heavenly energy chakras well above the head), Archangel Barachiel
opens your mind, body, and spirit to the pure loving energies of Heaven. In
human form, this Archangel appears with wings wearing flowing white and pink

Heaven. Call on Archangel Barachiel when you are in need of miracles in your
life, help with maintaining a positive outlook, assistance with a boost to your
