and every human being ( our soul ). By partaking of them we activate aspects of the divine within us. While we are said to contain all the angelic characters within us and tune to them in different degrees, we probably have correspondence to particular angelic forces more, according to our time and date of birth or conciving time...
Angels are neither male nor female, but they are often referred to as he or she. They do not have a human form because they are made up of divine energy; some call it love and light. Angels will project themselves to us in a manner we are most comfortable with, which means we often see them as human. If they have a message to give us, they may even come to us in the form of a departed loved one, so as not to scare us. Other ways Angels may appear to us is through lights, colors, sounds, feelings, thoughts, dreams and scents.
Angels do not want to be worshipped, they do not want us to pray to them as we pray to God, but we can't expect guidance from them unless we ask for it. God has given all of us free will and Angels are not interfere with that, yet these energy around us is pushing us to do things all the time, to fulfill God wish for advance and push upper our souls. To contact Angels, all you need to do is talk ( real talking or just inside your head ). It's as simple as that. There is nothing you can't discuss with Angels. They know everything, so you're able to discuss anything with them. Nothing is too small or trivial for Angels, they're here to guide and help you.
If you really want, it is very simple to contact your Angels. All you need to do is call them. Many people choose to construct an altar, meditate, read from the bible, light candles, burn incense... there's as many ways to contact angels, as there are people. It's all personal preference. Even though these techniques may set the stage, make you more comfortable and make the Angels feel welcomed, this is not necessary. All you need to do is call out to them. It doesn't have to be in words, all it needs to be is a thought "Angel, I need your help." They always come if you open yourself up to their energy, you will feel their presence.
Once you feel your Angels, ask them questions. Let your mind go blank and allow anything to flow, don't try to make it happen. You may want to keep a journal and write down anything that comes to mind. There are many ways to communicate with Angels, no way is better than the other. It depends on what is comfortable for you. Some people meditate, while others choose to communicate through dreams. Some people actually hear the Angels talking to them, while others "feel" what the Angels are saying. Experiment and find what works best for you.
You'll be able to identify your GuideAngels by the way they "feel". Each GuideAngel has a different energy, just like humans. You may be able to feel their size or color, you may be able to tell how they smell, or how they sound. Again, no one way is better than the other, its how the Angels choose to communicate with you and what's easiest for you to comprehend. With time you'll know which Guide Angel is helping you and from there you'll know what your individual Guides Angels "specialize" in.
Guardian or Guide Angels are like all other angels, with one exception - they've been assigned to stand by us throughout our life, through good and bad. Everyone is given at least two Guardian Angels, most have much more.
Your Guardian Angels know everything you've said, done or thought since the day you were born. They are non-judgmental and they look forward to helping you when requested.
Many religions believe in Angels - Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam all have their Angels and hierarchy. Although I acknowledge the angels from all the religions, the focus of this site is on the Judeo-Christian Angels.
The sources of the angels used in Kabbalah and ceremonial magic are primarily Jewish. The canonical Old Testament books mention only Michael and Gabriel, but apocryphal and Talmudic literature provide richer sources, and there is a suspicion that this was a result of contact with Zoroastrianism during the period of the Babylonian Exile (6th-5th centuries BC). However as we can see, almost all the religions of the old and new world have kind of angel Gods forms, it can point that, many people from all over the world had unique contact and experience with angels, there for they have so many deferent names, yet they can present the same spiritual entities. In next chapters I present some angels examples from all over the world, during deferent times in the human history.
The word "angel" is derived from the Christian Latin "angelos", itself derived from the Greek "aggelos", which is a translation of the Hebrew word "mal-ach", (a messenger or worker of God).
Angels are typically found in groups, reflecting their role in mediating the divine influence.
For example, in Zorastrianism there was a belief in the AmeshaSpentas, seven holy or bounteous immortals who were functional aspects ofAhura Mazda, the Wise Lord.
Angels in Zoroastrianism
The image of angels as we understand them in Western Christian society had probebly some of their origins in the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion during the Persian empires (559 BC to 651 AC) and was the most powerful world religion at the time of Jesus Christ. It is one of the oldest monotheist religions and you can still find it being practiced today, especially in Iran and India. Zoroastrianism recognizes various classes of spiritual beings besides the Supreme Being (Ahura Mazda): The Amesha Spentas, Yazatas, and Fravashis. In practice (cf. Sad Dar, chapter 26), Zoroastrians pick a patron angel for their protection, and throughout their lives are careful to observe prayers dedicated to that angel.
Amesha Spentas (Phl. Amahraspandan) ("Archangels")
Literally, "Beneficent Immortals", these are the highest spiritual beings created by Ahura Mazda (thier name for say God). Their names are:
· Vohu Mano (Phl. Vohuman): lit. Good Mind. Presides over cattle.
· Asha Vahishta (Phl. Ardwahisht): lit. Highest Asha, the Amahraspand presiding over Asha and fire.
· Khshathra Vairya (Phl. Shahrewar): lit. 'Desirable Dominion', the Amahraspand presiding over metals.
· Spenta Armaiti (Phl. Spandarmad): lit. 'Holy Devotion', the Amahraspand presiding over the earth
· Haurvatat (Phl. Hordad): lit. 'Perfection or Health'. Presides over water.
· Ameretat (Phl. Amurdad): lit. 'Immortality', the Amahraspand presiding over the Earth.
