I have a question. Do you know any tips for contacting your personal guardian angel? Any information would be helpful. Thank you in advance!

I'm so flattered for you to describe my blog like that, thank you so much. It really made my day

So sorry to keep you waiting, as I've been away from the blog for a while 👼

I don't have exact tips for contacting your personal guardian angel as I don't actually work with my personal one! I acknowledge that they are watching over me and trust their work, though.

I do want to offer something! So here's this:

CONNECTING WITH YOUR PERSONAL GUARDIAN ANGEL

🌟 Express your gratitude for their presence (in the same vein as acknowledging their part in your life). Recognising the angels in your life can help them connect with you and show more prominence in your life. They wait for our invitation as we have free will!

🌟 If you want to do a little something for them, light a candle and dedicate it to your personal guardian angel. It can be a tealight or something bigger. You could always get a large candle and light it at a frequency that works for you (nightly, weekly, monthly).

🌟 Expanding on the previous idea, you could make a bit of a ritual out of it. Light a candle, dedicate some incense, and say a prayer to thank them for watching over you.

🌟 Research about guardian angels! It tends to be a great devotional act or a way to connect with the angels. There are different interpretations of what guardian angels are in our lives. For example, some believe each has their own name. I consider this very likely though don't endeavour to try and figure it out

🌟 Decorate your space with angelic imagery or objects. This is a general tip for letting angels know your space is safe for them and that you would like them in your space and life

Hermes came to me when I finished high school, and that was when I was learning about independence and having adventures in life. not being boring and having fun. and also such a great inspiration as i began my undergraduate studies in communication

over time the connection to helpol and hermes faded. I always kept him in mind, had his imagery around, kept my blog name the very same (yes, hats off to Hermes indeed!)

one of the key things i've found in my worship of the gods is how i wish to worship them because of the values they embody. i continue to carry everything Hermes has taught me with me, from how my life has changed to even the foundations of hellenic polytheism when i first learnt about it

now we're here, a few years later.

Hekate entered my life in 2021, after my birthday. Or maybe she'd been around longer than that

I look back to the post I made years ago wondering if Hekate was around due to what I noticed. At the time I felt young and intimidated of worshipping her.

Now I am still young and intimidated but at least more ready to be devoted to her — in that she has become part of my primary practice.

The time I have spent with Hekate so far has been incredible. Truly she is an inspiring goddess of change and confidence. I could not imagine a better goddess to worship at this time of my life. In that, I truly appreciate the psychopomps in my life. The lovely Hekate and the winged Hermes.

DEVOTIONAL ACTS - ARCHANGEL ZADKIEL

Hey there majowatarot! Thanks for this ask :) Let's get right into Zadkiel (love him! he's my moon angel). Read the others here: Archangel Michael, Archangel Uriel, Archangel Haniel, Archangel Jophiel.

Archangel Zadkiel is a wonderful archangel of Mercy, his name meaning "God is my Rightousness". He is great for bringing relief from pain, turmoil, stress, anxieties and tension, he helps people stay calm, and helps with opening up spiritual abilities.

💜 Call on him when you need help calming down

💜 On a similar note, ask for his guidance in what to do if panicking or anxiety props up again. You may gain inspiration in what methods will work best for you

💜 Ask for him to make his presence known in unknown situations

💜 If someone is having a difficult time, you can ask Zadkiel for his presence to help the situation

💜 If you often self-sabotage, Zadkiel can be there for you

💜 If you need help releasing guilt, you can ask for Zadkiel's assistance

💜 Being merciful and forgiving towards yourself is the first step towards being more merciful and forgiving towards the world. Remember this message and bring it with you

💜 Zadkiel can teach you about seeking freedom from the choices you make

💜 Journal to Zadkiel with your worries and let him handle them. He is a strong angel that can lift you up and be alongside you to conquer your world

💜 Doing shadow work around forgiveness will help a lot. Dedicate your shadow work to Zadkiel and he can help you along

💜 Meditate and meet your inner child. Hug them, forgive them. Tell them you're sorry. Tell them you love them

💜 Light a candle for Zadkiel

💜 Dedicate some amethyst to Zadkiel

💜 Look into spiritual alchemy and how it associates with shadow work in order to live a more merciful, forgiving and healed life

💜 Write a list of people you feel hurt, anger, a desire for revenge... towards. Then write that you forgive them. This will allow you to take back energy that you put into these people, and Zadkiel will be there for you

As requested by anon, I will be starting a series for Angelic Devotional Acts--actions you can complete as offerings for the archangels, instead of offering material items.

Hello fierysword :) (I'm actually flattered that you've sent me an ask!)

So Jophiel. She's not one of the "seven" in my own practice, but I'd be more than happy to talk about an archangel 💫

Archangel Jophiel

Jophiel (Jofiel, Zophiel, Iophiel, Iofiel, Yofiel, and Yofiel) is the "beauty of God" also seen as the "Angel of Beauty". She is also regarded as a companion to Metatron

You can petition her or pray to her for:

Seeing beauty in things (such as God's creation)

Seeing beauty in God (and his holiness)

Self esteem (seeing yourself as the divine see you)

Creative inspiration

Helping your thought patterns and addictions

Joy in life

Transformation

Considering this, her domains could be conflated with Haniel's (Anael, joy of God. Harmony, poise and grace) and Zadkiel (Sachiel, angel of Mercy. Who can help with stress, anxiety etc.)

But looking to her domains, you can consider her an Archangel of gratitude, perspectives and inner thinking. A great archangel for shadow work in combination with other angels (like Zadkiel, who according to the Zohar, helps her and Michael battle evil), a very strong contender as a transformer of negative to positive thoughts

Additionally you can consider her domains to be:

Wisdom

Spiritual and religious reading

Knowledge

As Jewish tradition notes that she is the angel guarding the Tree of Knowledge with a flaming sword (sword is also attributed to Uriel, and being a wisdom archangel can be conflated with Uriel) and so she is a guardian of knowledge. She is also said to oversee Sabbath day Torah readings

She has also been written to be the angel of the seventh heaven and guardian of the Torah, who also taught 70 languages to souls at creation

As a patron angel you can call her:

Patron of Artists and Intellectuals as the angel who can bring beautiful inspiring thoughts (also attributed to Gabriel and Uriel)

Patron of Recovering People, as she can bring joy and light after darkness (also attributed to Zadkiel)

Patron of Balance (though typically attributed to Anael), as her association with bringing beauty is also associated with Feng Shui

Some systems may replace Jophiel with Raziel though places Jophiel is mentioned, other than what has been mentioned, includes:

Pseudo-Dionysus works

Kabbalah

Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum

The Veritable Clavicles of Solomon

Sixth and Seventh book of Moses

In terms of planetary correspondences, Agrippa attributes Jophiel to Saturn (Cassiel in ars paulina) and Paracelsus assigns to Jupiter (Zadkiel/Sachiel)

Robert Ambelain says Jophiel is in charge of this cherubim ("Prince of Cherubim"); Haziel, Aladiah, Lauviah, Hahaiah, Iezalel, Mehahel, Hariel, and Hakamiah

It is said that Jophiel's colour is yellow (though typically I have my own associations with colours and angels. This is just a fun fact). Though it can make sense with yellows association with illumination, the mind, the element of air and all associations to follow

Her symbol and element is fire which is for her light, illumination of knowledge and the flame that leads the way

Her day of the week is Sunday (shared with Michael).

Here's her sigil/seal you can use when working with her:

Here's a prayer you can say to her:

Dearest Archangel Jophiel, archangel of beauty and wisdom, please bless my creative endeavors.

Open my eyes that I may notice the beauty in the people around me as well in every part of Creation, including myself.

Empower me to maintain a clear mind even in times of chaos and make my mind orderly and serene. Inspire me to trust in God’s greater purpose for me and lend me the patience and the wisdom to recognize God’s beauty in every situation. — Amen
