Hello I would just like to put it out there that I have been working with Angels for quite some time & have even worked as a psychic in New Orleans doing "Angel" readings where I can put someone in touch with their Holy Guardian Angel. My favorite Angel is St. Michael for many reasons. My name is also Ariel, an angels name. If you would like some advice, please ask me. I am here to help.

Welcome to the forum, you might post to the coffee shop too, to introduce yourself to the forum populace at large.

I'm curious about your beliefs on what an angel is, they are beings I have very rarely experienced, and have mixed feelings about them in general, although they've never appeared malevolently.

Whatcha think?

peace

Yo thats kool. i have had many posts with questions on Angels when i first started the spiritual/magical path :-)

I think Angels are the messengers & servants of God. They do his work. They add guidance to the lives of human beings. Everyone has a Holy Guardian Angel & if you studied Crowley you will understand that a lot of his work was getting in touch with the Holy Guardian Angel his was named Aiwass. My Guadian Angel is one of the Archangels "Michael". He has revealed himself to me many times & changed my life. I have seen one real angel when I was in New Orleans but usually they don't appear phyisically to me but I can sense them & read them if they surround a person.

Kool, so here come my questions.. they may seem stupid questions, but i have some deep reasoning before putting these questions:



1) can Angels, well high order angels like archangels heal any type of illness or disease and that also irrespective of Karma.. ?



2) can the angels transmit such a power to humans or another entity?





Well these are 2 questions for the time that i have been wondering. I got some answers but its good to get from people who know the domain.



thanks

Angels are probably the spirits I know least about, I can digest anything you're willing to share, i'm willing to learn.

I know about "Pit" Angels. This is a poor reference, but true reference. If anyone has seen the movie Constantine than you know what "Pit" Angels are. The Halfbreeds as they are called according to the movie are among us.

Greetings Archangel 777,

In Hebrew Tradition according to Kabbalistic Traditions the "Name of an ANgel" represented the duties of an Angel as assigned unto them by Adonai "The Lord." Many instances I have found regarding angels in a traditional sense do indicate they are messengers of God or Intercessors for Humaity.

It appears in the Traidtions of Judaism, at least, that Angels originaly did not have Freewill. They did as they performed their offices as they were created for them. It was not until the Rebelious Angels or "Watchers" according to the Book of Enoch that they refused to obey the Newest Command of God and bow before humanity. This is also evident in the Koran where Shaitan refused to bow before man because he considered man to be imperfect, as well as, bowing before any but God was considered a transgression.

I have also read that each person has a unique Holy Guardian Angel, and then there are ANgels for certain dispensational ages. Crowley's Aiwass, is I would consider, a dispensational Angel. In the Golden Dawn we believe that the Holy Guardian Angel or Higher Genius is actually an Archetypal Aspect of the Unconscious of the Individual. Their is the Unconscious which would be represented by a unique Higher Genius or H.G.A. and then their is the Collective Unconscious of Mankind which in my opinion would be overseen by an even Higher Angelic Archetype, similar to the World Soul or Animus Mundi.

To relate a personal experience of an Angel that has visited me on at least three occassions, Once when I was performing the Sacred Magick of Abramelin to receive knowledge of the Holy Guardian Angel. After performing specific Rituals as outline in the treatise "The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage" and purifying and consecrating myself for a period of 6 months, I received a vision of an Angel that appeared in the midst of the Incense smoke one morning. It first appeared distant but as it flew toward me it grew to fill my vision. It was of a greyish color and covered in light fur, it had feathers around the tufts of its ears like horns, and huge feathered wings. I had been asking to receive a specific guidance in regards to my upcoming college semster classes. Specifically in regards to being able to learn and perform well in Accounting, Business Math, and Keyboarding. I am presently making A's and B's in my college courses. This is something since I had dropped out of high school when I was 16 years old, and that was in 1980.

I believe just the appearance of an Angel especially your H.G.A. opens up the Inner Mind to Knowledge that one would not otherwise be able to access. Whether these gifts can be transmitted to others through human transference, I do not know, but in my estimations there is truly something real behind the manifestation of these Angelic Archetyps.

IMHO this belief is fundamental to most, if not all, religions, even if it is not quite the done thing to admit to the fact. To be quite honest I feel that it is high time that humans reverted to the simplistic views of their ancient forefathers. This modern sophistication is the barrel of the gun that points towards the overall foot of humanity.

So you know a bit about Enochian magic?

Also i have had issues with focusing in on my own gaurdian angel. If you have any suggestions i would be thrilled to try them. Just so you know i have delved into mediumship and have spoken (mainly while awake in trance) to a higher being i believe to be my gaurdian but have never recieved a name even when i ask. Actually this may not be my gaurdian, i have spoken many times to what i learned to call my emmisary but as i said even when asked no name is forth comeing.

I like Michael too - he's quite delicious as a side dish...good quick energy snack too!

Greetings Enochian,

The one central point I would remind any person seeking, or aspiring to an attainemnt of their Higher Genius, or Holy Guardian Angel is to remember that the Holy Guardian Angel of a person is in a sense a Higher Aspect of their own Higher Self. The corresponding aspect of the Hebrew Soul which according to Kabbalists has seven separate, yet, unified aspects has at its highest aspect The Yechidah as the True Self, or High Self of a persons Unconscious Self. It is this aspect that, (in my opinion) guides the individual into discerning his/her True Will. "In discovering ourselves we discover our Higher Self or Holy Guardian Angel", the two cannot be separated, the Higher Genius is the Holy Guardian Angel. This of course is a persoanalized aspect of the attainment of the H.G.A. but remembering that the H.G.A. is an integral part of ourselves, basically inseperable from our Higher Self could be of help in understanding that "to find the Holy Guardian Angel is to discover our True Self."

Thank you that helps a great deal. i have recently actually been working with 'myself" and found a name to be of little or no concern.

Greetings Archangel777,

It is totally groovy to meet an expert on Angels who actually charges people to get in touch with themselves! Or touch themselves? I had no idea Mr. Ariel that Capitalism was a path to enlightenment.

Please answer me this riddle with your wealth of angelic knowledge.

If an Angel drinks a quart of butter milk before he starts. And he runs a mile before he farts. If the further he runs the further he gets. How far can he run before he $hit$?

If you have trouble answering this please do not hesitate to contact Crapiel the lord of defecation and bull$hit.

Mr. Ariel I await your answer with baited breathe.

I am still under the opinion anyone who charges $$$ for spiritual guidance is usually a charletan. The fact of the matter is anyone can get in contact w/ their HGA--all that needs to be done is put forth time and effort--not hard earned $$$. As for Michael, yeah--I am in cantact w/ him as well (for free financially I may add!), its called prayer and meditation along w/ the proper invocations and will used together in magickal harmony. I have also heard (thanx Edun!) that Michael is the 50 Names of MARDUK spirit MARUTUKKU. If that is the case I know Michael quite well--yet I know nothing of him at all! See--the more u discover the more u realize U dont know!

Laterz.....
