Archangels come to us with much love, acceptance, understanding and deep compassion. They work for the highest spirit (God), provide the highest good, and will lay out options for us to choose – always making sure they obey the universal law of freewill. Meaning, they only want to empower you and will leave choice up to you. They are never forceful or pushy, they always encourage and support us.

As a spiritual practitioner, I have learned that you can call Archangels to assist you in specific times. This list will hopefully teach you when those times are. You will notice that most of the Archangels’ names end with “el” – which means “of God”.

A lot of mediums work with Archangels, but not all. And there’s nothing wrong with that. You will relate and resonate with your own spirit guides. Most of the time, we don’t have control of which spirit will come knocking anyways.

His energy is calm, comforting, patient and understanding. His words are softly spoken. You can call on him for medium sessions, or if you need help after you’ve lost a loved one. Usually, he will bring both the spirit and the living relative/friend to a medium that will be the bridge of closure.

He helps with those who are stressed, or those who need focus, motivation, discipline and organization in their lives. He’s also known to help those who are starting a new project and need help with management.
His energy is more human than any other angel. Because he was once human, he is more understanding of how humans work with one another. He also offers more human advice, often being direct and analytical. You can call on him when you need help with your goals, or if you need help managing your personal/work life.

He can also help us with clearing out any negative energies or removing earthbounds from our personal space (work and home).
His energy is masculine and grand. I find that he takes up a lot of space in a room when he’s around, shielding me with powerful light.

Since he was once human, he understands the power of prayer, what it means to pray, and what it means to receive answers from those prayers.
He is the energy link between man and spirit, so his energy is swift and powerful. To me, he doesn’t say much. He is more observant and listens. After all, his intent is to deliver messages from realm to realm. You can call on him to calm you when you pray. His presence ensures that our messages will be heard and responded to.
