Back on my Table

I know I have been a bit quiet. But there are many things going on around me right now. The angel book I had hoped to write is back on my table. I am excited to continue this work and have gained a few insights into who is helping me push this forward. What I hope to include in this book:

-angelic profiles
-angel spells and rituals
-ideas on how to connect with angels
-touching on angels not mentioned before.
-stoke the curiosity of others about angels
-and more!

I hope you all can send me a positive thought for this project!

Angel Bio - Shekinah : Queen of Light

Shekinah
Compassionate Bride

If there was ever a mother of angels, it would be Shekinah. Her form is lovely and her aura bursts with rainbows. There is never a day that this angel is without a kind word. As an angel of mercy and compassion Shekinah exudes the presence of peace. Not many angels come with a set gender of male or female which makes this one kind of special. Referred to as the 'bride of God', Shekinah is the embodiment of positive female aspects. Her smile is gentle and her forgiveness is unconditional. She can be called upon for healing (of any kind), baby blessings, fertility, weddings, rites of passage, love magick, abundance magick, divination, and more.

Shekinah is the female energy of life and can be viewed as the matron of women, children, and more. She loves children and seeks to protect them in peace. This angel also supports those that would protect the weak (humans and animals), heals the sick, and comforts the downtrodden. Rainbows, doves, and golden hearts are symbols of her happiness. Look out for them as you begin to work with her.

Mabon: Good Spirits Give Thanks

This is a small ritual to celebrate Mabon, the sabbat of thanksgiving and transition. Enjoy!

Supplies:

• 4 white candles 
• 1 glass bowl
• lighter
• bread, fruit, and other feast item
• glass of juice or water
• table and chairs

Preparations:
Place one candle in each direction. In the center set up a table with atleast two chairs, one for you and one empty. More chairs can be added if you like. Set the bowl out and put food into it. All kinds. Light your candles.

Face the east and east-candle. Close your eyes, say:

"To the East comes Raphael, angel of healing, and with him stand all the good spirits of healing."

Visual Raphael, the healing angel, surrounded by bright happy faces of many other good spirits. These are spirits of all kinds, animals, plants, and all help to heal. Conjure up all the happy memories you have had over the summer months. When you feel that joy open your eyes and turn to the south. Face the south, close your eyes, and say:

"To the South comes Michael, angel of protection, and with him stride all the good spirits of guardianship."

Visualize Michael in his gleaming armor and sword in hand. Beside him seems to stand a vast army of all types. From grand predator animals to faery. Think over those times where you may have needed the protection or channeled that protective energy in the past summer months. When you have conjured up that feeling, open your eyes. Face the west, close your eyes, and say:

"To the West comes Gabriel, angel of guidance, and with him walk all the good spirits of counsel."

Visualize Gabriel with his cool colored robes, scroll in hand. He walks beside men, women, and spirits of intellect and guidance. These are the spirits of sound decision and understanding. Remember the times that you may have needed the guidance or have been the guide of another person in your life. When you have this memory in your mind, open your eyes. Face the north, close your eyes, and say:

"To the North comes Ariel, angel of nature, with her rest all the good spirits of nature."

Visualize Ariel, angel of nature, surrounded by the great forests. Around her are animals, faery, and good spirits connected to the Earth. The walk a path of balance with nature. Draw to mind the moments over the past summer where you have been struck by the peace and beauty of nature. Whether it was staring at a beach or spotting an elusive animal for the first time. Take a minute to relive that awe. When it had sunk into your heart, open your eyes. Turn to the center and approach your table. Pull out both chair. Stand before your table and raise your cup, as if making a toast. As you relive each happy moment, let the positive energy fill you up. Say:

"I give thanks to the influence of the angels and all goodly spirits. I share my bounty with those that have aided in its harvesting. Blessed be!"

Sit down at your table and partake of the food. Leave some for the spirit. When you are ready to finish up. Extinguish each candle, saying at each one:

"Go if you must, stay if you will. Blessed be."

Angel Parties!

A great way to bring around any angel is with an angel party. Whether its just you or all your friends, it can be a wonderful experience. The important thing is not to talk or watch angel related things, but to raise your energy to a higher, better place. Watching uplifting or just plain funny movies can be a great way to lift your group up. Good food, games, or simple fun divination. If someone you know does Reiki or other healing practice, let them practice on you. You could curl up in night gowns or PJ's, have bowl fulls of marshmellows and popcorn. Be as silly or sophisticated as you like. Dinner parties can be just as angel-centric. Have everyone wear white and decorate with crystals or feathers. Use art to bring you that energy. Really, as long as you are having a happy and light filled time, you are creating an angel atmosphere. Never let anyone at your party feel sad or disappointed.

Ideas...
-At the start of your party, stand in a circle, hold hands, and ask for an angel blessing.
-When the party is wrapping up, stand in a circle and ask for the angels to bless everyone on their way home.
-Do things in honor of a specific angel if you have an intention in mind. Play games for Sandalphon! Read tarot card with Uriel. Gather up a donation for a local animal shelter in honor or Ariel and Camael. The list goes on..
-Decorate for your party! If you want love angels to come in, decorate with pinks, reds, and rose quartz. Think themes!
-Serve foods and snacks that give the same feeling as the energy you want. Or set out a food or snack that a specific angel likes. Marshmellows for Sandalphon, red velvet cake for Iophiel, cinnamon buns for Ambriel.
-Lay out a special place in your home or party for the angels to sit. Set out a place mat with a card that requests the presence of your angels.

Types of Parties the Angels can Help With...

-Speed dating! You'd never guess, but this would be a great way to incorporate angels. Or if your trying to bring singles together, why not ask Anael to come along? Decorate with rose quartz and carnelian. Nothing too pushy.
-Birthdays! While a birthday may have its own theme, you can hang a few sun catcher crystals in your windows to invite he angels to celebrate.
-Weddings! If you are throwing a bridal shower, why not decorate with white feathers? Or crystals? An engaged couple needs all the blessings they can get.
-Baby showers! Who isn't happy to celebrate a new life? Plush animals are a great tribute to angel Ariel and Camael. Though Uriel isn't one to cuddle, he may show up if you ask for a blessing for the expectant mother.
-Anniversaries! While becoming rarer now-a-days, the angels love to come and celebrate a lasting union. Iophiel loves helping with any kind of party, but seems well suited for the weddings and anniversaries.
-Initiations! Whether your being inducted into a coven, high scoll, college, or a new job, the angels enjoy blessing you in new endeavors!


With so many ideas, I'm sure any party can be not only great but blessed. Party on!

Michael Protection Spell

Purpose: To protect your home.

Place the candles around the room in the center of your home. Light them and stand in the center of them. Take a deep breath and lift up your hands above your head. Visualize Michael, the archangel, standing before you. Feel the warm southern winds moving around you. Say,

"Before, around, walking Michael. With sword in hand the angel moves!"

Feel his energy gather around you. Michael is a warrior and protector, keeping all safe. Visualize a ball of golden energy form in your hands. Say,

"The angels protect me and mine. My home is safe from harm, from fear."

Take in a deep breath and imagine the ball growing and growing until it surrounds your entire home. Visualize it crystalizing, solidifying around your home as a crystal shield. Relax and take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Say,

"With Michael's blessing, this space be kept. So mote it be!"

Give thanks to the archangel.  

Angel Atmosphere

Angels are like many other spirits. What defines them is their vibrational energy and motivations. So when bringing them into your spell work you just need to treat them like other spirits. Learn to keep your energy in harmony with their's and invite them into your life. Here are some simple things you can get to bring angels into your life and workings:

-Create an angel altar
Whether for healing, love, prosperity, or just in general, this gives a physical anchor for angelic energy in your home.

-Angel Statues and Art
While they can serve as a physical focus of angel energy they also serve as reminders to take time to connect with the angels. If you charge them they can even energize and calm a room.

-Potted Plants and Flowers
Plants and flowers bring energy into a room and if you especially want a natur/animal loving angel energy in your home these can be very useful.

-Incense and Candles
There are so many varieties of scents and colors that you really need to research what angel relates to what. White is a good general angel color.

-Crystals
As the above, there are tons of different crystals. One of the most positive crystals you can bring into your home is a sun catcher crystal. They are crystals made to hang in a window to shine rainbows in your home. While not very valuable, they send out a very uplifting and positive energy.

Of course you don't need to buy anything to invite angels into your life. Just a sincere desire to connect is all you really need. Everything else just helps create atmosphere.
Enjoy bringing angels into your life!

Angel Bio - Assiel: Water Bearer

Assiel

Angel of Healing Waters

Anyone who has ever visited the ocean knows the awesome power of water. Waterfalls, hot springs, rivers, and lakes, all of these things are favored by Assiel (Aye-see-el or Aw-see-el). While not a very popular or heard of angel, this healing angel has a lot to offer. Through the use of water, Assiel can be called on to help heal yourself and others.

Assiel's presence is very subtle, making him hard to detect. But once you establish a good connection, there is something very calming about him. Although you may me sitting in the middle of a heat wave when you meditate, while connecting with Assiel you will feel like you are in the middle of a hot spring.

Using Song - Cleansing my room

Today an old friend is coming in to visit. We don't get many visitors so I wanted to try and cleanse my office, which is where he will be sleeping. I didn't feel like trying to cleanse with the LBRP because, let's face it, it is so formal. So, with my new angel-horn bell-rattle in hand I started up a little song. Turning to the east I shoot my bells and closed my eyes. I visualized the rising sun, the soft warm colors of the sky and rang my bells. They are soft and gentle, the type of bells you can find in craft stores. I took a breath and held the image of the dawn. Then I started thinking of the angel Raphael, healer and angel of the east. Here is what I came up with (I paraphrase, since I was winging it):

"Raphael, come from the East.

Dawn light cleanse this space.

Angels of the dawn, come through this place.

Fill and cleanse it of darker things.

Raphael, angel of the East,

fill us with your energy.

Dawn rises and I embrace,

its cleansing energy."

Now as I sit in my office, I feel very calm and happy. I know that the angels are helping to circulate the energy of my home.

Ritual : Healing Waters of Assiel

 picture not owned by AU blog

Assiel (Ay-see-el  or Au-see-el) is an angel of healing, but healing through water. While he mainly deals with the bladder, kidneys, and blood his healing touch can be applied further than just these areas. This small ritual is for sending healing energy into your body or the body of one who needs healing.

Supplies:
-Green or teal ribbon
-Teapot
-Lavender, raspberry leaf, or peppermint
-bathtub
-Photograph of person in need of healing (if it is not yourself or if they are not present. This picture should also be disposable)

Preparations:
Fill your teapot with water and heat it up. As it sits on the stove or in the microwave getting warm, cut a length of ribbon.  Place the ribbon to the side, it should be long enough to tie around the affected area of the body. For a picture, cut just enough to tie around the picture. Next set out less than a handful of your herb of choice. Take your supplies into the bathroom. Return to gather your teapot when the water is hot.

Ritual : Healing Waters of Assiel

Bring your teapot, now full of very hot water, into the bathroom and place it on the counter. Pull the lid off and set it to the side. Scoop up your herb and hold them in both hands. Close your eyes and hold your herb up as if you were offering it up. Take a deep breath and imagine a soft blue light hovering just over the herb, feel it rushing over your hands and shedding soft energy into the herb. Say,

"Through this bounty of the earth our bodies partake of health."

Open your eyes. Drop the herbs into the teapot and put the lid back on. Hold your hands just over the teapot, close your eyes. Visualize the blue light swirling around the teapot and move into the teapot to fill up the water. Say,

"Through the essence of water our hearts partake of wellness."

Open your eyes and take up the ribbon. Tie the ribbon around the part of your body in need of healing. If this is your torso, neck or head, make sure you cut a long enough piece of ribbon to tie it loosely around the area. For the picture tie the ribbon around the photograph. When you are done, close your eyes and say,

"Through my intention I mark the place that healing is needed."

While the herbs are soaking draw yourself a bath. If you can't draw a bath run the shower. If the area is small you can use the sink. Fill the sink for the photograph. As the water is running, close your eyes. Visualize the swirling blue light moving around and into the waters. It infuses the water with light. Say,

"The angel Assiel bless these waters. On this day where your guidance and help is needed, please aid me with your blessing."

Open your eyes. Continue filling up the tub/sink/(let the shower run) until it is filled enough to accommodate you. Step back and reverently take your teapot and place it on the floor (or counter) beside your tub/sink/shower. Get into the water and take a few deep breathes to relax you. The ribbon should be on still and the area/photograph should be submerged or soaked. Take the teapot and slowly pour its steeped water into the tub/sink. If using the shower pour the water slowly over the affected area. Make sure it is not hot enough to hurt you. Close your eyes. Visualize that water seeping deeply into your body. It is blue light that spreads from your skin down to your bones. It moves and fluctuates in your body. Take a deep breath in and feel its warm energy bringing healing. Exhale and see bit of grey oily substance leaking out of your skin, being replaced by the light. With each exhale, see more of the oil move from your body and into the surrounding water, or down the drain for the shower. For the photo, imagine the other person encased in the water of light and see the oil rising to the surface to be destroyed.
When you are ready to get out of the tub take one more deep breath. Let your gratitude and love of life overwhelm your heart. Imagine your body strong and healthy. Open your eyes and get out of the tub or shower, Take the picture from the sink. Sit back and unplug the tub or sink, let the shower run a few seconds longer. Watch the water move down the drain and as the last of it goes say,

"And the blessing of Assiel be with you."

Take the ribbon off and let it dry. Once dry it can be used again and again. It can also become a trigger for healing even without the ritual.

Suggestions:
-Do first ritual on a full moon
-Do ritual once a week for 1 month or more if needed
-You can place amethysts into the tub/sink for extra healing energy
-Rubbing the affected area of your body with a healing stone can amplify the energies

Note: If you feel more comfortable using Raphael instead of Assiel, you can substitute them

A scoop of fiddling..

So I finished up writing lesson one of Angel Magick & Communication elective class for MDAP. AND I was fiddling around with a video/recording for a guided meditation for the class. If this goes well I may be able to make it a full time thing. I hear no complaints from the peanut gallery of angels. Since getting busy they've kept a cheerful eye on my goings-on, but keep to themselves. I'll enjoy getting back to regular meditating and back to dieting soon.

Angel Elective

As I have mentioned, I am the admin and a teacher at The Witches Collective.com. It has been requested that I write a small Angel Magick elective class for the witch school. I'm waiting one more day before really starting to craft it out. I am already starting the brain storming process. If anything I could always use the material for my book!

Research is Key

In order to better understand how angels work with the magickal folk I have tentatively began to study the history of angel magick. First, I am cracking open my fears and getting past them to read up on Enochian magick. This system of magick has been given a lot of bad press, so learning that reading and doing are two different things is important for me. So stayed tuned friends as I research, learn,. and develop my own personal practice of angel magick!
