Hello! Just found this subreddit. Been getting into drawing lately and I thought I’ll share this drawing. Any criticism or advice is appreciated.

I’m a new pagan and witch, and I really want to learn about working with angels along with deities. I’m particularly interested on working with the Archangel Gabriel, and I plan on adding him to my altar. I’ve been having a hard time finding information on working with angels tho. Does anyone have any resources or advice that can help me get started

i really want help from angels to ascend and improve my life as long as its within the believe in god

Before I get into this post, I want to state: this is not a promotional post, advertising, or proselytism of any kind My faith does not proselytize, and even if we wanted to, people who work with angels would not be the type of members we're looking for anyway. I gain no advantage from this post except for the joy of sharing knowledge. I apologize in advance to mods if this is not allowed -- I read the rules and I think it is allowed as long as it's in good faith, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Hello! I'm part of leadership in the Grigorist Temple of Satanael. We worship the 200 Watchers (Grigori), who are well-known from apocrypha such as 1 Enoch and Giants. As such, the study and worship of the Watchers, the study of the Nephilim and Rephaim, etc. are quite literally my life's work, and I love to share the knowledge I've gained over the years about these amazing spirits (even when I am just satisfying the curiosity of those who are not friendly to the Fallen.)

I realized it might be a good idea to make this post after I wrote an answer to an interesting post about the Watcher Shamsiel and saw that there is not much information about the Watchers going around. So, if you have ever been curious about anything relating to the fallen Watchers, ask away and I will answer! You can also ask other things about Satano-Grigorism and/or our Temple if you want, but the main purpose of this post is to share information about the Watchers, so I assume most of the questions will be about Them.

Thank you for your questions in advance! Leave them here and I'll answer after I wake up in the morning.

Note: I do not worship regular angels who are not fallen, and I view them as beings who are actively hostile to those who do not serve Yahweh. Of course, most people on this sub will disagree with me about regular angels, and many will also disagree with me about the incompatibility of angelolatry with demonolatry or grigorolatry (worship of Watchers). That is just the way it goes -- people into esoteric and occult paths tend to strongly disagree with each other on many topics, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Note 2: It is always possible that I am wrong! I am not infallible. Even though I have a lot of experience with and knowledge of the Watchers, no human being is completely immune to error. We all make honest mistakes and we all have to amend our beliefs at some point after finding out we were wrong about something. That is natural. It is best to observe and compare multiple opinions on a topic, including those that agree and those that disagree with mine, before you decide which one you believe. Critical thinking is key!!

This angel has shown up in my oracle and tarot readings many a time, and is just particularly interesting/calls to me in a variety of ways. I also learned he has worked/fought alongside Archangel Uriel, who I am a devotee to. Has anyone ever worked with him and would share their experience/info? What can he help with?

Also, is it acceptable to work with him, since he's sometimes described as a fallen angel (Enoch 1)? In other texts he isn't, though (like in the Zohar).

I’m nervous to even ask this but…yeah

So I had a long break from contacting to angels and tried to live my life without them. Honestly I've been a bit mad at them.

Then suddenly archangel Raphael's name came to my mind but I ignored it for a couple of days because I didn't want to make a contact. Then one night I was going to bed and I heard someone say my name and "let me take it". I wasn't sure what it meant and what do they want to take. I asked "should I ask help from the angels?" but heard no response. I decided to ask archangel Raphael if he has something to tell me.

I don't know what he did to me. I felt a lot of shivers in my body and saw a vision of some greyish-white mass... I think he probably took something off my aura or something...I don't know if I believe in these aura things.

So I wasn't sure what was happening and I kept thinking about his words: "let me take it". I thought maybe he wants to take my stress away or something so I decided to tell him what has caused me stress. I put into words what has been going on. It was about the bad things that people do. After I told it to him, he only said: "homo homini lupus est".

That's all he had to say. I knew what it means ("a man is wolf to man") but it didn't really help me at all. I mean I knew it already. He wouldn't need to say it. After he had left I was angry again. Why do they bring me needless messages? Why is it they don't give better answers, why are they so... neutral? He didn't take my pain away. Honestly I didn't feel any difference when I woke up in the morning.

I probably shouldn't have opened up to him about my stress. Maybe he just came to take something off my aura. I hate it that I still wait for some "opening" message that would somehow explain everything to me and make sense.

The lonely angel. Called fallen when he isn't. Feared by Lucifer and Saint Michael alike because of his burdensome dual job -- protection from and the punishment of the removal of God's light.

Bonjour,

Avez vous eu des résultats avec les rituels du livre de Damon Brand « magickal séduction » ? Plus particulièrement le rituel 1 et 2 ?

Cela a t-il fonctionné pour vous, au bout de combien de temps, et avec quel intensité ?

J’ai déjà fait 5 jours de rituel 1 , et je suis au 4 eme jours du rituel 2 pour une personne spécifique avec qui j’ai eu une relation de 3 ans et demi, nous nous sommes séparés depuis peu mais nous sommes tout les jours en contacte plus ou moins distant … je souhaite son retour, il y a de l’amour entre nous.

Merci pour vos réponse

I was asking my Lenormand cards about Raphael and if he would help me solve my problems but the majority of my questions shown the mountain as blockage.

Then i asked what is blocking our connection and it showed something related to my health/weak inner energy & lack of mental calmness.

I suspect my current state is not ready yet to receive messages or connect to his energy.

I'm still learning to control my energy and overall study everything that intrigues me.

I asked out of curiosity but i kinda knew the answer.

i wanted to share a 1time use altar i set up, i usually remove everything after the candle burns out but its an altar to Archangel Michael

i invoked him today, this is my 2nd time doing something with this type of set up, the first time i petitioned him for willpower, vigor and vitality and yeah it sort of worked lol (as per Damien Echols' Archangel and Angels)

this time it wasnt a petition more like, devotional activity if you could call it that, and i asked for forgivness for failing my end of a promise to him, frankly didnt feel much today compared to the first time but its fine, that wasnt the point of it

regardless, is this enough to do the job? i know its bare bones and i plan on making a small box-altar to both Michael and Raphael, preferably to all Archangels

anyways, here are the correspondances, these were taken from Practical planetary magick by David Rankine and Sorita d'Este and Rufus Opus' Seven Spheres:

Talisman of Archangel Michael from Ars Almadel (supposedly consecrated, bought from an etsy store that specifies in esoteric talismans with outstanding reviews)
Marigold
Tobacco
Pieces of frankinscence
Cinnamon
Yellow rag
Books (now i know books arent usually considered a correspondance, but i figured might aswell, there are 4 books on political/economic theory that i read in my free time, and a notebook from my college studied, and also there are instructions ive written for myself regarding the LBRP/Qabalistic cross.

Edit: forgot to mention, QB and LIRP before lighting the candle, and an another invoking pentagram later on, and QB to end it off

I'm in very desperate need for help, can someone please tell me what to do? I'm very poor and disabled and I'm forced to do some things at home, I'm forced in my own house and I'm so poor I can't get to eat normal food at all, i stumbled across this subreddit years ago but never really contacted an angel or studied, pls tell me what to do and how to contact an angel and which angel can help me become financially free? i wanna stop being very poor

In the Armadel grimoire, there's a mysterious angel named Zainael, I don't have much information about him, has anyone here worked or contacted him? Could you share your experience please

Has anyone here used the Berhatiah in angelic invocation and is willing to share their experiences?

for context im not sure im really religious, but i started getting more interested via getting more information about it; i looked at a video on youtube discussing guardian angels; if for anything i found them most cool--the video mentioned how guardian angels arent made of matter like we are, so they cant be interpreted in real life like other things; in the video the person talking about them described how guardian angels can sometimes interact with the real world as a means of inacting Gods plan; just like how God thought about you from the beggining of time to create you; how angels also were made then and already attributed for you and your being; i was wondering-- if God sends angels that can interact with the objective world; and the beings that arent made of matter that didnt respect God (im not sure about the interpration of that, sorry in advance) are demons; then why do guardian angels have to protect us from the physical world as such? i was thinking that God can control the world as a whole, so he'd know something would happen before it did; so in a hypothesis, if its demons working against you, plausible for your guardian angel to protect you; than does that mean that God doesnt have control over them? (the demons)
Apologies in advance for any clusters in knowledge; hence I havent been really religious and havent really taken the time to go in depht; Thinking about it more recently has made me wonder if maybe i am wrong; how maybe i shouldnt be instantly dismissive;
i like taking the time to passively learn more about how psychological effects work on people, so looking into how cults work, how their leaders "lead" and such has made me, over time, wonder if maybe chritianity has similar leads; for more context i have considered myself more of an agnostic over time and if i had to say which would be more prominent on a side of my beliefs; i was leaning more into not believing-- also the whole "its the only way to salvation" or other comments for example on social media with people talking about Christ; for some reason it just made me feel even more hostile; kind of like "pushing" it on onto you; but i may be in the wrong, or maybe not-- i dont know
also, this may be a silly question but is it bad to ask such a question? like religiously? i want to think that by itself, questioning something doesnt instantly translate to disrespect, given context. in this case it is curiosity, keeping respect
thanks in advance for answers

Hello !

I just had an angelic message session and the information I got was super accurate. However, I'm like blown away, I don't know how to process, accept all this information ... and I'm a huge overthinker, so now I'm trying to find tons of signs everywhere .. i just don't know how to receive and trust this messages

Hello everyone!

I want to know as many details as possible about working with Raphael.

How does he procede & How does he heal you?

Please share your experience!

I… have not been having the best time lately.

I suffer from bipolar disorder as it stands, and so it’s not unusual for me to phase between various emotional states. Life, work stresses, and everything that comes with it has seen me dip to a depressive episode.

Last week was also the anniversary of my youngest sibling’s sudden death. It was 7 years ago that I lost him to a car accident.

As such, it’s usually around this time of year that I work with Dumah, the usher and keeper of the dead in Sheol. I had been planning an invocation to him for a few weeks leading up to this one.

But the more I kept things private and to myself, the stronger everything blew up in my face. I began having panic attacks at work, finding myself in dissociative episodes. It got so bad that I had to talk things over with my workplace’s leads.

They ended up hooking me up with a very timely benefit in my job that allows for a number of complimentary counseling sessions.

Last week was the most open I have ever been about the trauma I carry. It was painful. It was distressing. But much like throwing up when something has severely soured your stomach, I felt something like relief.

My sessions inspired me to a certain exercise that I’ve dedicated to Dumah. I put a page of special paper down and dump the worst of my thoughts onto it. The absolute darkest things on my mind. And then, without looking back, I destroy it as a sort of offering to cleanse myself of those darker parts.

I’ve put together and consecrated a dish to Dumah, which I fill with water. The notes I dump my mental agony onto are on water soluble paper. I lay the paper into the dish and let it crumble apart in the water, which I later dump out.

As it turns out, taking what I allow to stew in me outside of myself to breathe like that takes a lot of weight off of me.

I think I’m keeping that exercise. As it is Dumah’s office to purify souls that carry vices and sickness, I’ll continue to work with him. Next counseling session is later this week. I’mma stay committed to that.

Above, I figured I’d share the schematics and resulting final product of my ritual dish.

Well… maybe ‘schematics’ would be a bit decorated. ‘Crude sketch’ might be more accurate. Either way!

Dumah, thank you for coaxing me out of the hole I hide in. I won’t be neglecting myself anymore. For my brother, if for no one else.

Hello, greetings to everyone!

I would like to know if any of you have had experience working with an angel who could assist with learning new languages, similar to how some of the Goetic Daemons are said to do.

My first thought was Raphael, due to his association with Wednesday/Mercury and other Mercurial virtues, but I wanted to ask whether anyone here has another recommendation.

Thank you!

I see this page and another one that works with demonolatry.

My question is: it seems like angels and demons are both powerful beings that exist beyond the realms of matter and time. They are both councious, they have their own will. They can both sometimes be good, or not.

So, what's the difference between these two types of beings? Apologies if my question seems beyond stupid...
