According to classic Angelology, angels are messengers of light whom the Father/Mother God/Source created to minister to souls on earth as their guides, guardians and companions in Spirit.  The job of the angels (and other high spiritual guides) is to bring the connection of God closer to humanity.  In this sacred role, they carry the energy of God to a personal level, creating a personal connection between the individual and God.  This is what permits us to experience and know the Divine intimately and directly.  In this way, angels truly are the Divine messengers of God's love. 

The word "angel" is derived from the Greek word "angelos" and the Latin word "angelus," both meaning "messenger" and records of their existence date back thousands of years.  Angels embody the will and frequencies of the Divine and make God's vibrations readily accessible to people.  While Spirit is formless, angels are the essence of the Creator in form, vibrating at very high spiritual frequencies that are not usually visible.  They appear to have wings because the light radiates out from their being in rays or waves that look like feathers.  Angels are charged by the Creator to affect people and the environment with intensely positive vibrations that can be felt in the body and as a feeling sense.  Their nature enables them to infuse people with the constructive qualities of Divine consciousness, bringing about profound changes that can actually transform a person's body and soul.  Angels accomplish such transformations by causing movement at the molecular level that can alter matter, and causing movement within the neurons of the brain and nervous system that can alter the mind.  The resulting changes are often called miracles.  With these luminous beings surrounding us and working with us at all times, it is to our advantage to open our hearts and minds to them and call upon their energies for emotional healing, spiritual transformation and guidance along our journey through life.  If you've ever had an angelic encounter, then you know firsthand the enormous spiritual power that they transmit to the physical realm.

 THE HEAVENLY HIERARCHY

The mysterious landscape of the angels has been depicted by ancient theologians and metaphysicians over the centuries.  The Christians adopted this Jewish model of the Cosmos, originally said to be founded upon the works of Dionysius, Thomas Aquinas and Rudolph Steiner, in which God is both at the center of the cosmos and at the highest point of the hierarchy.  Divine spiritual entities radiate outwards from pure Source, some being close to the center while others exist further out, closer to the more denser/material forms of creation.  The model shows nine celestial orders orbiting the Throne of Glory, rather like that of our own planetary system. 

The inner orders of the Highest Triad resonate Love (the Seraphim) and Knowledge (the Cherubim).  These subtle vibrations issue from the movement of their energies and the sound of their voices, yet they remain essentially immaterial and insubstantial.  However, the subsequent orbit of the Thrones is a region where form and substance begin to materialize.  This progression into physical form is the outward movement of the Divinity, which is pure Thought and Light energy.  Thought and Light slow down as it moves outward from the Source, which in turn decelerates to become heat, which condenses into matter--the realm that we live in.

Highest Triad - pure fiery and light energy

1.  Seraphim    2.  Cherubim    3.  Thrones

Middle Triad  - balancing and unifying the opposites

4.  Dominions    5.  Virtues    6.  Powers

Lowest Triad  - connecting to the material world

7.  Principalities    8.  Archangels    9.  Angels

 NEW SYMBOL FROM THE ANGELIC REALM

In October 2006, there was a very large shift in consciousness of all angels within the Angelic realm.  Angels have always been vehicles of Divine intention, and yet, for eons, they have been evolving their ability to play this role more and more deeply.  In addition to their natural evolution, which has made them purer instruments of the Divine, they have also been learning to handle the experience of separation--many angels have incarnated into human form to assist in this learning.  This culminated in October (2006), with an enormous jump in their evolution that moved them to an unprecedented level of oneness, as well as to a much deeper ability to handle separation consciousness.  Since one of their roles has been to facilitate the evolution and spiritual awakening of humanity, they are now in a position to help us in a way never before imagined, and their work with the earth and humanity is greatly accelerating.  Of course, their work would be greatly facilitated if more of humanity were now 'tuned in' to the Angelic realm.

Because there is a need to bring more of humanity into alignment with the Angelic realm, VortexHealing has created a healing transmission that ANYONE can use. We have imprinted this transmission within a symbol. The symbol, the transmission and the powering of the symbol are all from the angelic realm.  For instructions on how to use this symbol, please visit www.VortexHealing.com.

THE ANGELIC SCRIPT

Originally known as the Angelic Alphabet, these ancient symbols were believed to have been small constellations in the night sky given to the first humans by Archangel Raziel to form the original language of Eden with which Adam named all things.  Much later, in the 16th century, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa altered it to avoid persecution by the then  prevailing religious powers.  These new symbolic variations, called Malachim Writing, were derived from the Hebrew and Greek alphabets and were considered to be holy images given to man for communication with the angelic realm.

There are many archangels noted throughout literary and religious sources.  For simplicity, below are the four most commonly known archangels.  While they are assigned great tasks on both global and universal levels, they also avail themselves at the personal level, as well.  Did you know that angels have far more power to help us when we ask for Divine help?  It is said that they wait "in the wings" for us to call upon them, no matter how large or small the request may be.  They are allowed to step in in times of dire need, but when asked, they can do so much more on a daily basis, both on the inner realms and our outer lives.  It is up to us to open our hearts to their help.

Name means "God is light."  Associated with fire and carries a fiery torch.  He stands before us and helps us find clarity, ideas or sources of intellectual guidance.

Name means "He who heals."  He helps us transcend opposites, helping us heal the illusion of separation from God.  Guides us to physical, emotional and spiritual wholeness.

Name means "Messenger of God."  Is known as the strength of God and is called upon when we wish to overcome fear with God's gentleness and mercy.  Helps with creative artistic endeavors and new directions.

Name means "He who is like God" and sometimes known as the "Prince of light."  He stands for justice, strength, power and faith.  He is a spiritual warrior and great protector against darkness.

Angels of the Zodiak

Did you know that there are angels with very specific qualities that preside over each astrological sign of the Zodiak?  You can call upon them when you need the strength of their Divine nature.  Doing so will help you develop more self awareness and personal development unique to your astrological influences and challenges for this lifetime.
