Hello, lovely friends! I’m so happy to connect with you all today on the topic of angels, archangels, and ascended masters. These divine beings of light are always ready to assist us, but many don’t know how to call upon their guidance. In this article, we’ll explore some of the most frequently asked questions about working with these celestial helpers, so you can deepen your connection with their loving energy. Let’s dive in!
What is the difference between angels, archangels, and ascended masters?
The main difference lies in their “rank” in the spiritual hierarchy. Angels are the most numerous, working as messengers and intermediaries between us and the divine realm. They can help with everyday concerns and challenges. Archangels are the “chiefs” of the angels, overseeing and guiding the angelic realm. There are traditionally seven archangels, who aid with larger causes like protection, healing, and enlightenment. Finally, ascended masters are highly evolved spiritual teachers who once lived physical lives on earth. They now teach from the higher realms to help humanity awaken.
Who are the main archangels, and what are their roles?
The most well-known archangels are:
- Michael – Leader of the angelic host. Protects from fear and negativity.
- Raphael – Oversees healing on all levels – physical, emotional, and spiritual.
- Gabriel – Helps with communication, creativity, and intuition. Messenger for divine news.
- Uriel – Known as the “light of God.” Illuminates our minds with insights and epiphanies.
- Chamuel – Helps find inner peace and renew relationships with love.
- Jophiel – Aids in developing wisdom, judgment, and understanding.
- Zadkiel – Invoked for forgiveness, freedom from guilt, and spiritual development.
What are some signs that angels are trying to reach out to us?
Angels are always near, but you may notice their presence through:
- Feathers appearing in unexpected places
- Flickering lights or electronic malfunctions
- Warm tingling sensations, chills, or goosebumps
- Hearing your name called when nobody is present
- Smelling flowers or pleasant, unexplained scents
- Clairvoyant visions of figures bathed in light
- Ideas or solutions that come to you suddenly
- An inner pull to help someone in need
Pay attention to signs like these from the angelic realm!
How do I call upon angels or archangels for assistance?
Calling your angels is easy! Just follow these steps:

Repeat daily until you feel their guidance and support. You can call angels like you would a dear friend!
