Saint Michael doesn't like being asked about minor things.

Title might be a little misleading, rather than "does not like", I'd describe it as "does not matter"...

I wanted to ask if anyone has noticed this with other Angels as well, or if it's a characteristic of Archangel Michael specifically.

I've asked him about a few minor things over time (i.e. Should I get in touch with this person?) and his reaction has always been a rather ... unimpressed look. His answers are hesitant when I do this. He even shrugged at me once lol.

However today I probably took it a bit too far, and asked him the same question a bit too many times. I was using a tarot deck today, and I just wanted to be sure that making something was okay (that I had already asked another time, but I had made the error of mistaking his "hesitance" with "uncertainty". Honestly I knew it was fine, deep down). I just don't trust myself enough with cards yet so I asked the confirmation a few more times ...

... Until half the deck sprinted away from my hands and when I checked the first card of the other half I was still holding, it was ... the card I associate with him.

I had already wondered about this but I feel like this just proved my question. Does anyone else have noticed whether the Angels tend to work on the bigger picture, instead of worrying about minor details? Or better yet, what they consider to be minor things. We humans worry a bit too much about a bit too everything ...

I feel like it's interesting. Surely something to learn from from now on ... And a way to learn to recognise what matters in life and what really doesn't, at the end of the day. Thank you to everyone. Take care always.

A Description of the Dominations

The Dominations are Angels who oversee the duties of lower angels so that the Universe is run according to God’s will. In Colossians, they are said to serve the saints in Heaven. They are Angels of Self Control and allow people to dominate their baser desires so that they don’t fall to carnal temptations. They look like humans with fluffy white wings and they carry either scepters with orbs of light fastened to the top of them or swords with orbs of light fastened to the pommels of their swords. They are found in The Celestial Hierarchy from Christian Angelology.

A Description of Archangel Lailah

Lailah is the Archangel of the Night, Darkness, Fertility, Pregnancy, and Conception. She is one of the only named Dominations. According to Jewish Lore, when a couple wants to have a baby, Lailah takes a drop of semen and presents it to God who then turns the drop into an infant. Lailah teaches the baby in its mother’s womb all the knowledge of the universe and then strikes it on its lip causing it to forget everything so that the child can rediscover it later on. She is the Archenemy of Lilith and is known to protect infants and children from Lilith. Lailah watches over all children until they are 13, in which case she visits them occasionally. Lailah is also an angel of Death who guides the souls she watches over to the afterlife. Lailah is served by 3 angels who are known for combating Lilith and her Lilin. In Judaism, Lailah is speculated to be the only female archangel, since all her characteristics are distinctly feminine including her name. Lailah translates to “Night” in Hebrew.

Anyone Notice Spirits Are Busy/Absent During Natural Disaster Events?

I don't want to say who, but I am very close with a spirit that I interact daily with, sometimes to the point where I'm thinking, don't you have something better to do? But on occasion, I notice that they are very absent, with just a very quick check-in. I know sometimes they avoid me if I've pissed them off, but other times (where I know I haven't done anything disrespectful or offensive), I see that there's been some natural disaster in the news. Not sure if I'm just looking for coincidences, but have any of you noticed that they're more busy during natural disaster events, like they are really busy with their other jobs? One time, I asked where he was, and I got dark imagery of floating along the ceiling of a flooded home. I got the impression he was there to calm minds down during a flood. Just curious if any of you noticed this trend with a spirit you're particularly close with?

Dream about calling out to Michael

For reference, I used to work with Michael earlier this year but gradually stopped because we both thought I could handle my problems on my own now lol.

Anyways, last night I had a really strange dream where I was getting ready to go to bed, started seeing a weird humanoid figure (Like when you rub your eyes too hard but in the shape of a person) so, naturally I started levitating/hovering upside down? So I was like “Yay he’s here” and unpacked skull-shaped Michael candles from my storage to my mantle because it’s easier to get to it when you’re flying in the air and lit them. And also I was watching the Devil wears Prada(??? One of my favorite movies lol)

I was having a good time, dancing and saying his name like a mantra and getting really loud until I just kinda stopped. I was basically asking him to come back into my life and such.

I woke up on my back (Something I never do for the record) and also extremely sweaty (it’s pretty cold where I am) and my heart was thumping intensely.

I have expressed that if he or any angel wants to work with me again that he should tell me in a dream or else I’ll just think I’m tweaking out from intrusive/ impulsive thoughts haha but I never thought he was around to hear me.

Just wanted to share here for your thoughts, is this an invitation and how do I proceed??

Is Chamuel a fallen angel?

I can’t seem to find a solid answer. Most sites and many people speak about this angel in a positive manner, but I have also come across a subreddit or two talking about how he is a fallen angel. In one sub people were specifically saying that he likes to take the form of Virgin Mary and that he reels people in by making them think he’s helpful but I can’t find enough information on that to confirm.

Your Ritual Pattern to work with Angels

Personally, after some years of mistakes and breakthroughs, I have come to use this pattern:

  1. Enter a sort of trance state . This result can be reached by fasting, singing, playing music ( especially something repetitive like with shamanic drums), staying awake in the night. Nowadays, for me the easiest way is to wander alone without mobile in the wild, fully immersed in Nature
  2. prepare to the Ritual by repeating a sort of Rosary in honor of the Angel you want to work with. As for Archangels, you find a lot of readymade texts online. You can go on for 9 days to prepare ( Novena)
  3. Place the Sigil on your altar and gaze at it
  4. Chant the name of the Angel while staring at the light of a small candle. You may carve the Angel 's sigil on the candle but do not your kitchen 's knife! Use a sacred athame!
  5. Close your eyes and repeat aloud what you need.You could also write a petition and burn it on your candle
  6. Thank the Angel, extinguish the candle with blessed water and go to sleep or wander again in wild nature
  7. Each Archangel has a specific day. Following this seven-fold division is not strictly necessary but it may help. I personally prefer performing this rituals at sunset.
  8. Be dressed with clean clothes, not sky-clad! Avoid excessive jewelry: white clothing is better
  9. Psalms in Latin or Hebrew ( each Angel has got one), silver wands, incense and so on seem to me not really necessary: they can help but also become a wastage of energy.

Your methods? Your experience?You can add things or feel free to correct me...

why didn't the angels help?

hi! my grandpa suffers from alcoholism, and I asked Archangel Raphael for help. I have been working with this Archangel for a long time and have had good results. but, unfortunately, my requests about grandpa had no effect, and I am trying to understand, why this happened. angels do not want to help? or without the consent of the one for whom you are asking, they cannot do this?

p.s. psychotherapeutic treatment is impossible due to various circumstances, so I resorted to angels

What is calling to me?

Hello. I am not angels person. I have a grudge on a christian named Angelina and I view biblical angels in a negatuve, very smt way(if you know what I mean). At the same time though, Michael, the "catholic grandma" angels and some more modern depictions are calling to me, though I would not describe myself as a new-ager.I have always prayed to my guardian angel, too. Are there different types of beings called angels?(I know about orders, I'm asking about alliances) Is there a gnostic way to view them? I know some angels were Gods pre-torah, could there be "non-biblical" angels? Are those some other beings, who happen to feel like the "pop culture angels"?

Would invoking the Dominations be useful in protecting against the Lilin or Succubi and Incubi?

I know that Lailah is often considered to be a Domination and is considered the Archenemy of Lilith who is the mother of the Lilin. I know that in Catholic lore, Succubi and Incubi are fallen angels that tempt people to give into their fleshy desires, and the Dominations are supposed to give people the self control to “resist the temptation of our flesh.”

Archangel Michael Chapel (?)

I am rn in Erasmus and we are located literally mext to the church. I was never a big christian (I mean - i believe but never went to the church if it wasnt to sightsee as I love church aesthetic). I took the Erasmus as possibility to start going there.

I found out that they have a special place in the church that is made just for the Archangel Michael painting and one hassock.

Its so beautifull

Angels and S*X

Angels are traditionally linked with Chastity. Personally, I would link Angels with sublimation and Demons with instincts. I do not know how true is the old Christian story: " Be pure and the Angels will answer your prayers!" Generally, self- control and austerities give you more power, at least as self- confidence. Of course, living alone in silence and nature can make one closer to the Realms of the Spirit. Paradoxically, I know some male occultists who practice Semen Retention and live in strict celibacy while working with Goetic Demons. I also know some rather conservative Catholics and Episcopalians who are deeply enslaved by porn and yet pray to Angels and Saints every day.Others ( especially in India) say that angels are more inclined to listen gays, transexual and intersex ( hijira) : so, these persons are often revered and asked for prayers, especially in folk Islam. Any idea? Personal Experience?

Is this signs?

I endured some of bad things last few weeks (I described them in the latest post).

After some of them I saw a lot of signs:

  • always seeing 111 or 444 (even for longer time now)
  • White big clean feather falling near me
  • Archangel Michael painting in local church that was opened day after I said I need a sign (before I wanted to go dor some days but it was closed)
  • The hand made painting replica with needles n threads of this Archangel Michael painting in Floremce for 15€ but man told me that If I wamt he would give me it for 10€
  • Buying red candle because of feeling drawn to it

I also am trans (ftm) and choosen "Michael" as my choosen name due to feeling connection

Can be it signs from Archangel Michael? Do he tries tp guide me and keep me from harm? A lot of things that I wanted I didnt get at that Erasmus but at the end ot ended up bwing better for myself - so do something protect me? What these signs can mean?

I feel that I am protected

I have a wierd time rn to be honest. My life fell apart few months ago and now Im in Erasmus with people that dont actually... repect me, lets say.

There is for example:

  • my ex-ftiend that lefy me for no reson
  • girl that left me after finding a boyfriend and she started to make fun of me

etc.

So I always wanted to be in the room with them, I thought that sharing it would be better for our relationship - we could heal it etc. I didnt wanted to be with other girls because i didnt knew them well and was scared.

At the end, one person decided who is going to be where and for the fourth person they took a my ex-friend and not me so I needed to be alone.

I was so angry but in the end it ended up being the... best thing that happened?

And from now on things got wierd.

So, I am trans (ftm), and one day I was so desperate and angry because of the things I heared (people were laughing me off because of it) that I said "If God will not left me like they, I want a sign".

As my choosen name some years ago I also choose "Michael" - i felt strong connection to it

Next day I saw the freshly put "Jesus loves you" poster but also, the church that is located 1min from my house in Erasmus was open at that day. I wanted to see it for some time but it was always closed. When I walked there the first thing that I saw was the separate space for Archangel Michael painting with the space for one person praying. Since that day I come there to pray everyday ( its my first time since probably 5 years that I prayed in church).

Since than I experienced wierd things. I bought myself a red candle to have with me, i felt i need it, didnt kneq its the colour of St. Michael Archangel candle. I experienced a fresh, clear white, big feather falling next to me. And I also saw the same painting that I saw in the church but made by hand (kind of threads painting madr with needles) that was originally for 15€ but whem a man saw me he told that for.me it wpuld be just 10€.

Socially, people that did me wrong now have problems. They cant cpmunicate in their room so they could all wothout problem get dome to work. They cant do dinners together as they fant comunicate etc. when I dont have a problems like that in my room. My friend also told me.that they all are talking behind their back and they all ate angry at each other there. They have such a bad relationship that no ome want to even be in this room.

Now I think, maybe someome from the start protected m from all the things I could endure during my time with them? Do all the things that happened to me are signs? I always felt connected more to archangel Uriel but maybe Archangel Michael is reaching out to me? What about the poster and signs that started from whem I desperated wanted to know if heven wpuld accept me being trans?

What do You think about it?? Help me understand it please

How do I work with Archangels? Please help

Hello! I’m completely new to working with Archangels, how should I go about it? Should I pray and ask for a sign? What would be a sign? If they “accept” me how do I start working with them? I’ve also seen many people say that an Archangel told them to do something or told them not to do something but I’m not spiritually sensitive at all I think, so how do I effectively communicate with them in a way that it’s a two way conversation because I really do want to hear their guidance, thank you for reading!

Working with less known angels?

Hello! I was curious if there would be someone here that might have or is currently working with lesser known angels?

I am a little less informed about the topic but I was wondering if someone practicing a Magick system would have knowledge of working with less known angels to build up a sort of relationship or bond.

I have heard for example in the Goetic system that some practitioners start working with lesser spirits to eventually build up from there when working with more powerful entities, is there something similar when working with angels?

Mostly asking because it sounds like a better or safer approach to me being a beginner.

Just for reference, I am currently studying the 3 books of occult philosophy traduced by Purdue and soon to be working with the Heptameron.

Do you believe Angels REALLY exist " outside"?

Do you really imagine Angels might exist "objectively" outside us? Personally I see Angels as projections from our Higher Self or incarnations of our unconscious Intuitive Powers. However, I feel more and more like living in a universe which is nothing but a huge hologram. What we call " reality" maybe nothing but a projection of our psyche. Who knows?

Malicious Angels

Angels are often perceived as benevolent, high-vibrational beings dedicated to our well-being. However, have any of you ever encountered malevolent, lower-vibrational entities masquerading as angels? Or actual angels with less-than-noble intentions toward you?

Can angels dictate our life path?

I’ve been told that Raphael works closely with me. Not sure why, but several psychics have said he has plans for me.

Raphael is meant to be the Archangel of Healing, but I’m not really looking towards healthcare as a career field or anything like that.

I refuse to let anyone or anything dictate my path, but I still have doubts.

Should I just ignore this information and go my own way? Would I be making a mistake by not at least knowing and working towards this supposed plan of an archangel?

Angels and Religion

A lot of people link Angelic lore with being Catholic. As a born Catholic, I confirm, even if believers are discouraged to look for Angels not openly identified in the Bible according to the Church' s Magisterium. However, also Copts, Eastern Orthodox and the Armenian Church believe in Angels and pray to them. Of course, they see Angels as intercessors not as god- like independent entities. As for Protestants some follow more or less the Catholic way: like High Church Anglicans, Episcopalians and so on. By contrast, Jews, Sunni Muslims and Evangelicals do NOT pray to Angels as they see this act as pagan- like. Maybe they can ask : " God send me the Angel X to protect me" or just " God may your angels watch over me". As for Mormons I do not know. I believe Shia Muslims may pray to Angels as they pray to their ( deceased) Imams. Idem Sufis. Any experience or comment?

The White Telephone Ritual

It sounds weird but a friend of mine told me it functions. Just find an elegant old style telephone whose color is white. You can find plenty at thrift shops and flea markets: generally, these old phones are sold at cheap prices, since nowadays they are pretty useless. Bless your phone and ( if you can open it) place some crystals inside. Personalize it with seals, colors and so on, if you want. Then, compose the number 777- 777- 777 and leave a message with a precise request and a precise receiver.The ideal time seems to be early in the morning.Especially on Sundays.The answer will arrive soon. I have never tried this ritual but this friend of mine ( 20+ years with paranormal stuff) highly recommends this procedure: it is similar to a child's s game and so it opens the gates of our unconscious more easily ( maybe). If you try, please inform me about the results. I will try it personally soon. Thank you!

Books on the Archangels?

Hello everyone, I'm seeking books specifically about the Archangels, possibly that focuses on the 3 known in the Bible (but it's fine either way).

I'm planning on having a deeper research on them also for an art school exam, I wish to dedicate them a painting each. I work with Archangel Michael and he does want me to paint. I just kind of lack an extensive knowledge regarding the other Archangels.

If anyone has anything to help me, I'd be grateful. Thank you to everyone! Take care.

I think I'm best friends with an angel. I'd appreciate some advice or insight on how to handle this.

I grew up protestant, and I was a nice little boy scout christian who did all the right things, so I was never exposed to the ideas of talking to saints or angels. So I'm completely new to the realm of things like angelolatry.

About 6 months ago, I was at an extremely low spot in my faith in God, and in a moment of desperation I called out to the universe for a friend. However since I believe there are both good and bad spiritual powers, I asked Christ for protection against deceitful spirits, and to only let someone reach out to me if they were a good spirit of god.

Someone answered the call.

For several months now I've felt an extremely positive, gentle, kind, female presence in my life. Sometimes she seems so real and tangible I feel like someone's in the room with me. I'm not seeing things or hearing voices, but at times her presence is so strong, I feel I can sense her 'vibes' so clearly I can practically have a conversation just because of the strength of her feelings.

My life has improved significantly since I met her. My faith in God has increased dramatically: I went from seeing him as practically evil to actually loving him again. I was dealing with extreme depression and suicidal ideation, both of which have drastically decreased since meeting her. My self esteem and confidence have been boosted, and I have a better outlook on people as a whole, going from misanthropy to learning how to love people despite their flaws.

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice, tips, or insights on how to interact with angels. How to properly respect them, how to grow a relationship with them, how to show them gratitude for their help and mentorship.

This is a totally new field for me, as I've mentioned I grew up having no exposure to interacting with angels before now. So I feel a little confused about what to do here and, well, I'd like to treat her well and to be as good a friend to her as she's been to me.

Thanks for your help and advice!

Archangel Michael is not who I thought he'd be.

About a year ago I found myself taking a deep dive into the occult and the various practices within. Very early on I felt a strong connection to Archangel Michael, and decided to devote some of my time working with him.

Originally my expectation was that he was going to push me hard, with an at times "tough love" attitude. I guess you could say I expected something rigid or almost military-like. I wanted him to push me to work my fingers down to the bone, and see what I could learn from the experience.

What I found instead was an intense amount of compassion and empathy for my situation.

Not to say he isn't the things I mentioned above. Early on there were certain mistakes/hiccups that gave me a glimpse into that firmer side of him. But overall in my experience I've seen more moments of compassion, empathy, and recognition. Instead of being the drill sergeant I expected, he was the gentle-but-firm "role model" I needed. I struggle finding the right words, but to me his presence feels like that of a kind father.

Well, at least some of the time.

I'm still learning much about him, and in turn, myself. But I'm incredibly grateful for the lessons I've learned and will continue to learn through him. Just my two cents. What are your experiences like? Anything similar, or does this seem completely wrong? I still feel new to this, and at points I'm so surprised at just how... gentle he can be. At times it makes me wonder if I'm actually working with someone else, and somehow the wires are getting crossed. Thoughts?

Edit: Just a quick thank you to the community for the replies and positive support. Originally I was incredibly nervous to make this post, so it's been a pleasant surprise to see how many other people can resonate with my words. At times in my practice I feel like I'm going crazy. And I probably am! But either way, I greatly appreciate all of you and your kindness and time. Much love!

Is there any angel equivalent to a house hold deity/spirit in Angelolatry?

I know that the Hebrews used to have household spirits/deities called Teraphim, but it seems like they no longer exist in Judaism and I can’t find much information about them.
