The 4 Major Archangels
Archangel Michael
Also known as: Beshter, Mika’il, Sabbathiel
Maybe the most well known of the Archangels, Michael’s name means “Who is Like God” and was the first Angel created by God. Michael is the leader of all the Archangels and is in charge of protection, courage, strength, truth and integrity. Michael protects us physically, emotionally and psychically. He also oversees the lightworker's life purpose. His chief function is to rid the earth and its inhabitants of the toxins associated with fear. Michael carries a flaming sword that he uses to cut through etheric cords and protects us from negative entities.

First and foremost, call on Michael if you feel you need strength or courage in any area of your life. More specifically call him if you find yourself under psychic attack or if you feel you lack commitment, motivation and dedication to your beliefs direction, energy, vitality, self-esteem, worthiness. Michael helps us to realize our life's purpose and he's invaluable to lightworkers helping with protection, space clearing and spirit releasement.
Michael helps us to follow our truth without compromising our integrity and helps us to find our true natures and to be faithful to who we really are. Other times when you may find Michael helpful is when your job is too demanding with impossible deadlines to reach, when you have an addiction, if you're very ill and suffering from a degenerative disease or terminal illness and when you suffer from nightmares
In the Bible, Michael conquered the fallen Angel Satan, was in the Garden of Eden to teach Adam how to farm and care for his family, spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai and in 1950 he was canonized as Saint Michael, "the patron of Police Officers," because he helps with heroic deeds and bravery. Michael also has an incredible knack for fixing electrical and mechanical devices, including computers and automobiles.
Archangel Raphael

“Raphael” means “The Healing Power of God” and he is a powerful healer who assists with all forms of healing - humans and animals. He helps to rapidly heal body, mind and spirit if called upon.

Raphael is full of joy and humor and is often pictured chatting merrily with mortal beings. He's very sweet, loving, kind and gentle and you know that he's around when you may see sparkles or flashes of green light.
Part of Raphael's healing work involves spirit releasement and space clearing. He often works with Michael to exorcise discarnate entities and escort away lower energies from people and places.
As well as a healer, Raphael is known as the "Patron of Travelers" because of his help with Tobias and his travels. Call upon Raphael when you are traveling, to assure safe travel. In addition, he assures that all your transportation, lodging and luggage details go miraculously well.

Call on Raphael if you're a student entering the healing field and you're looking for the right school and/or are in need of help with studies, as well as getting the time and money for school.

Archangel Gabriel
Also known: Abruel, Jibril, Jiburili, Serafili
The only Archangel depicted as female in art and literature, Gabriel is known as the "messenger" Angel and is one of the four Archangels named in Hebrew tradition and is considered one of the two highest-ranking Angels in Judeo-Christian and Islamic religious lore. Apart from Michael, she is the only Angel mentioned by name in the Old Testament. She is a powerful and strong Archangel, and those who call upon her will find themselves pushed into action that leads to beneficial results.

Gabriel also helps us to find our true calling. Ask for Gabriel's guidance if you have strayed from your soul's pathway, if you wish to understand your life plan and purpose. She can also help if you can find no reason for being or if changes are ahead and you need guidance. If you are contemplating a house move, major purchase or thinking of changing careers.
Call Gabriel if your body is full of toxins and needs purifying and if your thoughts are impure or negative and need clearing and cleansing. Gabriel is also very helpful if you are being under psychic attack or if you feel that you have absorbed someone else's problems.

Archangel Uriel
Also known as: Uriah
“Uriel” means “The Fire of God” and is considered one of the wisest of the Archangels because of his intellectual information, practical solutions and creative insight. To some people he is very subtle. You may not even realize he has answered your prayer until you've suddenly come up with a brilliant new idea. But to others Uriel comes on very strong, and when that happens you will know that he is an extremely powerful force in your life.
All this considered, Uriel's area of expertise is divine magic, problem solving, spiritual understanding, studies, alchemy, weather, earth changes and writing. Considered to be the Archangel who helps with earthquakes, floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, natural disaster and earth changes, call on Uriel to avert such events or to heal and recover in their aftermath.
In the Bible, Uriel warned Noah of the impending flood, helped the prophet Ezra to interpret mystical predictions about the coming Messiah and delivered the Cabal to humankind. He also brought the knowledge and practice of alchemy and the ability to manifest gold form lead and anything from thin air, as well as illuminates situations and gives prophetic information and warnings.
Historically in the eighth century, the Christian Church became alarmed at the rampant and excessive zeal with which many of the faithful were revering Angels. For some unknown reason, in 145 A.D. under Pope Zachary, a Roman council ordered seven Angels removed from the ranks of the Church’s recognized Angels, one of them being Uriel. In modern times Uriel has been placed again as one of the four major Archangels.
