We have all heard about the existence of angels and archangels. But did you know that you can work with them daily? The purpose of angelic beings is to help us with life’s challenges and they are always available and willing to help us. In the hierarchy of angelic beings, archangels are higher than angels. The suffix el in the names of archangels means of God. Please note that angelic beings have no gender but unfortunately when we adopted their names we associated those names with gender. Therefore Michael, Raphael, etc. sound like male angels. Still, we use the male gender due to the limitations of the English language. Let us look at the role of archangels in our lives.
The Role of Archangel Michael
The name Michael in Hebrew means who is like God. Archangel Michael‘s special colour is blue. He is considered to be the right hand of God which implies mercy, lovingkindness, caring, and openheartedness. Michael is the archangel that is in charge of night time, the north direction, winter season, the air element, our dreams, and the protection of women and children. He is the one to invoke when we want co-operation, reconciliation and peace since he encourages us to live in harmony with others and the earth. Call on Michael when you or someone needs protection in a particular situation or during a journey. When you meditate on him, reflect on times of great generosity, caring, sharing and being available to help others.
Archangel Gabriel’s Role in our Lives
Gabriel in Hebrew means the justice and righteousness of God. His special colour is white. He is the one in control of noontime, the summer season, the south direction and the water element. He stands at the left hand of the father therefore he is the one that metes out punishment as opposed to Michael who protects. Gabriel is the angel of revelation and hope. Invoke him to heal dysfunctional families. He is also the angel of business therefore if you want to succeed in any business endeavor you can invoke archangel Gabriel.

Archangels are always available and willing to assist us any time we need them.
That is their reason for being. We can call upon any archangel to assist us with business, health, relationships, emotions, courage, justice or anything that we need. Calling upon archangels is easy as it involves meditation. Some people like elaborate rituals to invoke archangels. However that is not necessary since we can simply go into the silence and call upon any archangel without any props.
