I’m currently interested in focusing my study and practice of magick into ecstatic states.

If any of you know a an exercise, practice, book or magickal system I could get into in order to get closer to the experience of a ecstatic state, I would be very thankful.

Preferably angel based or adjacent.

Hello! I have looked throughout this subreddit, but am here with my own question now!

How may I reach out to my Guardian Angel? Are offerings acceptable, and how may I find Their name? What is a Guardian Angel doing for Their person, what do They think of Their person?

I appreciate any and all answers, no matter how short, even if you just want to give me your story with your Guardian. :)

Do you think it works differently for everyone?

I feel like I need a "higher level" help in my life. I believe in spirit world because of many experiences I've had with spirits. But even though I've asked angels, I haven't had answers on my questions about basic things as who are they and where do they come from. Sometimes it's difficult to trust them when I don't really know anything about them.

Angels are usually associated with religion, the bible and other religious books. In religion they are "messengers of god". Is this just a man-made thing? If not, what is god? If god is "everything", like some people say, then what does it mean that the angels are 'messengers of everything'? And when the angels in the bible tell people to "only worship god" who are we supposed to worship - everything? But doesn't 'everything' contain the angels as well?

Are the angels expecting us to become religious during our journey?

Why do they want to help us?

Many different opinions about this topic can be found in the internet. I just wish I knew the truth. Sometimes I even think they can be "aliens" who have been creating this earth with god. And maybe god is an individual being, "the master creator" and "the engineer".

What is the basis you rely on with your angelolatry practises (or spirituality in general) and why? Where have you found your information from and why do you trust it? What have the angels possibly revealed to you about themselves?

I'm new to working with angels. I met someone last year at work who I was confident liked me but I noticed he was shy around me but not others. He ended his relationship about 3 weeks after I met him and I assume he wanted some alone time. I don't work there anymore and emailed him at work with my personal email.

I've asked my angels for help in finding a boyfriend as I want to be married and be in love. I have asked if he is the right person or if I should move on and to help me find the right person. I got a sign last night that he is the right person.

My question is it's been a year and I got my sign last night that he was right but I have been asking for several months about finding someone. I know he has free will. I asked my angels to encourage him to reach out. I don't know if I have to keep waiting. I feel like I have been waiting long enough.

I already love myself and have been single for seveal years and have done a lot of inner work so I feel ready.

How do I get things to materialize? I just don't understand what is going on. I don't want my hopes up and then nothing happens.

As I said I have been speaking for several months with my angels (not just about this) and it wasn't until last week I started getting signs that I could not deny as I am a skeptic.

I think it's good to get signs but I have been following Lorna Byrne a bit and so would like help with earth stuff.

What do people advise?

I am wondering if there is something on Youtube or some other site that has the pronunciation of names? I find many of the names daunting to say so I want to say them correctly.

Also I notice there are many different versions of archangels. I read here about 72 angels but I didn't see archangel Michael but is that because the list is just of angels and not archangels?

I'm just confused and would like to know more of a unified version of who the angels and archangels are.

Thanks

Hey all - would love to hear about peoples experiences with the angels of omnipotence?

How have you found working with them? Best ways to call upon them? Successful workings? Pros and cons? Etc

I’m doing research for a novel and found that Penemue could have been a member of a order of healing angels called the Labbim. Seeing as the source of that information is Wikipedia, I’ve been trying to find out more about what this order could be and there’s almost literally nothing. Does anyone here know anything about this?

I've seen Haniel/Anael pop up often when people are talking about angels that are sweethearted and awesome to work with, such as this great thread from yesterday. I tried looking them up but wasn't able to find much information about them. Could anyone tell me more about Anael, or recommend resources where I can learn more about her? Can anyone give me advice on how to befriend her, or tell me your own experiences?

Thanks for the help. They seem cool and I'd love to learn more about them for knowledge's sake if nothing else.

I am on a long trip and now living with relatives, in a house where there are many people and pets. Of course, I am not comfortable conducting rituals and invocations here, because during the work I make quite loud calls :) in this regard, a question: who of you did invocations and rituals in nature? in the forest, field, etc. Please share your experience, have you ever met people «at the most crucial moment», have you met forest spirits...for example, in the Eastern tradition there is a teaching about forest spirits, to whom offerings are brought and asked not to interfere with work

Hello everyone,

I’ve been studying the topic of connecting with archangels for a while and have read many of the wonderful posts shared here. I deeply appreciate the wisdom and insights from this community.

Despite my efforts, I’ve been struggling to establish a connection. I feel like I might be missing something simple or essential, and I’m looking for a little concise guidance to help me move forward.

Here’s where I need help:

1. Are there specific practices or techniques that worked for you, especially as a beginner?
2. How do I open myself up more fully to their presence or messages?
3. What are the best ways to prepare myself and protect my energy before trying to reach out to archangels?

I’d be so grateful for any advice, even just small tips or things to focus on. Thank you for your time and for sharing your light! 💫

Hi there! This subreddit looked like a good place to ask my question so now I'm here.

I'm new to being a pagan as well as Hellenism. I have a question in regards to when it comes to practicing with angels. Is it fine to do so? I feel as though I'm drawn to wanting to incorporate them into my practice and archangel Michael has seemed to come up for me twice now in terms of a dream and also meditation wise. I'm worried that this could be seen as disrespectful and of course the last thing I want to do is be disrespectful.

I'm an ex Christian, formerly Baptist, and while I know many angels are within the Bible I also understand that they also have ties to other religions as well, which is also part of my worry of not wanting to be disrespectful considering some are part of closed parts, like Judaism for example.

I've also been considering reaching out to some deities I'm interested in and am unsure if and when I do reach out they'd even be okay with incorporating angels into my practice alongside them. I'm still new to all this so any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated.

1. A soul guardian based on the hour a person is born.

2. A moral guardian based on the month and day someone is born.

3. A physical guardian based on the month and day someone is born.

In Valentinianism, there is a sacrament called Bridal Chamber in which a person marries their Guardian Angel who will then help them ascend to the 8th Heaven of Chaos when they die. In the 8th Heaven of Chaos, our Guardian Angels and Bridal Angels pray for us in a role similar to Bodhisattvas. These angels cannot enter the Pleroma without us. When souls get to the 8th Heaven of Chaos, they partake in the Wedding Feast set out by Pistis Sophia. This is where they will meet their Angelic Spouses who will enter with them into the Pleroma. The Gospel of Philip mentions the Bridal Chamber Sacrament as well as four other sacraments (Eucharist, Chrism, Baptism, Redemption). Iraeneus also mentions Bridal Chamber in one of his Heresisiological Texts. Excerpts from Theodotus and possibly the Heracleon Fragments also mention Bridal Chamber.

Since worshipping other deities is a sin in the bible and christian religion, does that apply also in working with deities? I mean, to me God almighty is the highest authority and the most powerful, he is our Father so i would never betray him or do something he asked me not to do as his child. Men is sinner its true but if you sin cause you are a man, you can repent so you can be forgiven but if you sin just cause "he will forgive you" then you are rejecting God, am i wrong? Since i came closer to him i just stopped my practice, cause i saw and i feared, i begged for forgiveness, now i dont want to make the same mistake twice so i want to be sure that im not doing an unforgivable sin/blasphemy against the holy spirit.

Who is the softest and gentlest archangels?

First time poster here and newbie to angelology.

I've recently for the last few days been drawn to Raphael, and asked for a sign he is answering me. I was getting nothing back but today I was playing a game and first card I drew was the emerald stone. Would this be considered a sign as green is his energy?

Maybe I'm off the mark but any opinions welcomed. Thanking you!

I'm afraid of contacting him again. I've been having this weird depression phase lately in my life and I haven't done anything I should do. I just eat and lie on the couch and get fat. I've asked him what's happening to me and what can I do. But he gives answers like "just do the things you should" and "get up from bed". The problem is that I just can't. I have asked if this is something physical, if something's happening inside my body but he hasn't answered that.

I feel like he's frustrated with me. I fear a lot and find it difficult to trust him, I still don't even know if he's real or not :D I've even heard his voice (if it's him). That voice is very deep, deeper and lower than any human voice. Even that makes me a bit scared because I wouldn't like to think of him as a male. I've heard angels don't have gender. I often wish I had a more feminine angel with me. I have this feeling that the masculine is asking too much from me.

Anyway, I once heard him muttering about me fearing as if he doesn't like it. I took it as an insult, like I've taken a lot of things lately.

Sometimes I fear that his character is sort of cold and distant, not loving. I haven't felt angels' love in a long time. I think that for some reason I'm looking for a friend more than a teacher... I don't think he can be my friend. And I'm tired with this "teachers and lessons" thing that this world maybe is about. I don't want any learning and lessons anymore.

I've been so tired with this "masculine world" where everything is so unfair and harsh. I have started to want softness, love, warmth, freedom...

And then I have this fear about him. What if he "revenges" me and something horrible would happen in my life? I couldn't take it. And I've told him that I would never forgive him if something like that would happen. I know I've been unfriendly to him and the other angels sometimes. I'm just so tired and everything in my life is so difficult. I hope they understand my feelings though it sometimes feel like they understand nothing about feelings.

About six - nine months ago I began having visions. One memorable vision I had while meditating, was of a giant eye with lots of wings, hovering majestically in the night sky amongst clouds. What does the appearance of this angel mean? I don't know anything about angelolatry practices.

Hello everyone! First of all I'd like to mention that my native language isn't english, so I apologize for any mistakes.

Me and my family are religious (we are orthodox), although my faith has kinda been all over the place recently. I developed an interest in astronomy since last year and since then I am kind of stuck in between believing that a higher being who created us exists and believing that there is no purpose to life and we don't know why all of this exists.

Angelolatry started to fascinate me and I couldn't help but wonder how everyone started working with angels. Did you always feel a connection to them or a certain angel in particular? Before you started working with angels did you ever doubt that the experiences are true?

I would like to start working with angels too and hopefully strengthen my faith, but I don't know how. I don't have a job yet so I don't know if I can aford building an altar. Do you have to be religious to work with angels? If I lost faith for a period of time, can I still work with angels or would I be seen as unworthy?

I'm not part of any religion, but i do believe in angels. So lately i have been feeling super sick and i read that Raphael could heal so without thinking about it much i just started to repeat in my mind "Raphael, heal me, please, heal me please" Yesterday i went to bed feeling sick and i dreamt i walked out of my room and saw someone soo incredible tall at the window i got scared at first but after realizing that my cat was calm i realized it was him, i saw him as a young handsome man really strong and wearing green, i wanted to kneel down to show him my respect but he told me "no need for that" and just hold me. He told me i shouldn't worry about a serial illness for now, he said "you know you have to leave those worries for the future, for now you're fine" and i just remember he was hugging me when i woke up. Don't know if he's accepting to help me but today i got an appointment with a new doctor. I'm feeling nervous after the dream for some reason. Any help will be appreciated my friends.

In the orthodox tradition today the Michaelmas or the Feast of the Archangels/Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels is celebrated 🖤 From evening to morning there will be a solemn service in churches, and although I cannot call myself a religious person, I still plan to attend the service.

In the pics you can see what orthodox icons of the Archangels look like. The first is Michael and Gabriel, the second is the Council of the Archangel Michael, 8 Archangels revered in the Orthodox tradition: Raphael, Michael, Uriel, Gabriel, Selaphiel, Barachiel and Jehudiel

For me this holiday is associated with joy and light, as for a person working with the Archangels. I thought you might be interested in learning about this holiday too!

I had a rather odd and wonderful experience recently, and I wanted to ask for some advice and thoughts from this group.

Background: (Skip this if you just want to get to the questions). I work for a large tech firm, and I was preparing to make a presentation to a major customer. I've been working on this for months. As is my practice, prior to the meeting I spent some time in prayer asking God to bless the meeting and for the best possible outcomes for all involved, etc. At the end of this prayer I heard, very, very clearly whispered into my mind, "Tzaphkiel" and I actually stopped praying, opened my eyes and looked around.. I thought maybe they had manifested. It's happened before.

I am a Christian Hermeticist so I'm very familiar with the Sephirot, and archangels, etc. I work with angles often in my practice, usually Uriel, Raphael, and Metatron. While I know of this angel I couldn't recall in the moment the correspondence and what they cover, so a quick search and I was thinking "wow, this is perfect! THANK YOU!" The meeting went swimmingly by the way, as one would expect after something like that :-)

Question: I feel like I have been sort of officially "introduced" to Tzaphkiel now. They seem quite amazing. So I would like to know if anyone here works with them regularly, if there are any actual sigils, seals or signatures that you utilize, candle colors, etc. They are aligned with Saturn, and Binah in the Sephirot, so.. those could apply, but before I go off just making stuff up, I thought I would ask here to see if anyone works regularly with them. Also, any downsides to working with them? All thoughts welcome.

Final thoughts: I've been at this for a while, and I can't tell you how just surprised and happy I was when this occurred. I am not sure if Raphael (He's my wonderful friend) brought them in, or if Tzaphkiel just saw the need. Raphael is not spilling any tea about it lol. I even tried to do a pendulum session to figure it out and I got the deadest of dead hangs I've ever received in my entire life :-) That thing might as well have weighed 11 pounds, lol. Message received... "let it be what it is"

Hey everyone, I’ve been a long-time lurker here, and this is my first post. I’ve seen a lot of great advice shared in this community, and I’m hoping to get some guidance on meditation techniques. Lately, I’ve realized that I may have subconsciously manifested some negative energies in my life. Everyone’s experience is unique, but I wanted to share my journey and thoughts, and hopefully get some advice from those who may have gone through something similar. (Just for clarity, I’m from India, so in my context, 11th grade refers to Junior Year and 12th grade is Senior Year of high school.)

My Reflection and Realization

I’ve recently been reflecting on Lucifer's story, particularly around the themes of pride and free will that led to his fall from Heaven. It got me thinking about how these energies might manifest in my own life. In the Bible, Lucifer's pride and desire for unrestricted free will led to his rebellion. After reading the story of Cain and Abel, I saw how Lucifer deceived Cain, leading him to murder Abel. What struck me was how Lucifer mixed truth with lies, which eventually resulted in Cain’s curse and suffering. From what I understand, Lucifer’s jealousy toward humans grew because God gave us more time to develop than he did his own family. These stories made me realize how deception and manipulation for selfish gain can backfire.

From this, I’ve concluded that while it may be possible to work with darker energies or demons, it’s incredibly risky, and you must be extremely cautious. If anyone is new to exploring these paths, I highly recommend reading and learning extensively about both angels and demons before diving in. Ideally, take a year to study and reflect before making any decisions.

My Personal Journey and Struggles

Let me share a bit about my own situation. I’ve been going through a tough phase, feeling trapped in a cycle of self-sabotage. In 10th grade, I was a high achiever, studying advanced topics and doing really well in my exams. But over time, I became overconfident, thinking I was smarter than my peers. By 11th grade, I began wasting time on distractions like porn, YouTube shorts, and other things that led to a noticeable drop in my performance. I didn’t fail, but I wasn’t performing at my best anymore, and that created a cycle of guilt and frustration.

By 12th grade, I tried to get back on track. I started studying again, but it didn’t feel like I was making any progress. I started doubting myself, feeling like I wasn’t as smart as I used to be, and developed an inferiority complex. The negativity lasted for months, and I eventually realized that my own actions were the cause. I misused my free will and wasted time, and now I’m dealing with the consequences.

The Impact of Negative Energies

After some deep reflection and reading, I’ve come to believe that I may have manifested these negative energies into my life, and they seem to be holding me back. Even though I’ve corrected the mistakes I made in 11th grade and I know I’m working hard, I still feel stuck. I know I’m capable of achieving my goals, but about once a month, I experience a breakdown, feeling like I’m not enough, like my mind isn’t sufficient, and like I’m being played by forces beyond my control. Despite making progress and working hard—about 12–15 hours a day now, compared to just 4 hours in 11th—I still face strong mental blocks and demotivation.

To give you a bit more context: physics, which used to be my strong subject, started slipping in 12th grade, even though it was the one subject I studied consistently in 11th. My chemistry was okay, but math was a huge struggle due to a bad teacher (side note: yes, a good teacher really matters). Despite my hard work and the fact that my focus and study hours have drastically increased, these mental blocks continue to hinder my progress.

Seeking Help: Meditation and Clearing Negative Energies

So, I’m reaching out for guidance. I really want to move forward and not let these negative energies ruin my potential or career. I’m seeking advice on meditation techniques that can help clear these blockages—whether it's grounding, dynamic meditation, mindfulness, or something else that has worked for you.

How can I call upon God and the holy angels to help remove these negative influences from my life? Are there any effective banishing techniques I can try? Should I be using things like saltwater under my bed for cleansing, or other methods to clear my space? How can I invite more positive, uplifting energies into my life?

Any advice, personal experiences, or insights would be greatly appreciated. I’m committed to turning things around and overcoming these challenges. Thank you all for your time, and may God and the Holy Spirit bless you all.

Hello dear friends . I'm a andean magician but more than covering my hair with a silk bonnet or having an egg cleanse after any ritual or having obsidian with me. I don't know how to protect my self. I do tarot naturally but I always end up opening portals or having high inflammation issues. Can you please teach me how to protect myself in order to start working with angels and tarot. Also I pray a lot the rosary but need extra protection. Thank you

Hi so start off I am very catholic not traditional catholic but something called “Mexican catholic” in short words I believe in god, saints, and angels and consider myself a very spiritual person. Being this type of catholic I grew up with having shines in the house and lighting candles with various images in various colors. I have always been somehow connected towards angels since I was a child but as an adult now I am learning to understand that connection more . They definitely have given me signs a good couple of times. Couple years ago I had purchased archangel figurines and have them on a high shelf in my room and I often light white candles for them and incense sticks. Recently I have sat with a psychic who works with them as well and she told me on Fridays to offer them candies specifically individual ones that are wrapped in plastic *I bought jolly ranchers *. Can anyone please explain to me what this does or can help me understand?

Asaliah is one of the 72 Shem angels of Kabbalah and this is my tribute to Him/Her! I have created a pentacle with the corresponding Psalm inscribed in Greek at the bottom, and Latin at the top.

Disclaimer: Sorry if I butchered the name I'm Hebrew. It's my first experience with the language.

Disclaimer 2: I have written the name in English for future reference.

Disclaimer 3: I only had time to write only at the first candle. I will do the next one later.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
