There's a myriad of ways to connect with these divine beings – from prayer and meditation to angelic attunement and immersing yourself in the wisdom of angelic literature.

Today, let's explore another powerful practice that connects you with Archangels – the Archangel Invocation. This is a simple yet profound way to bask in their frequency.

What is Archangel Invocation?
The Archangel Invocation is a beautifully simplified and condensed version of a ritual.
The invocation retains the profound intent and transformative magickal power of a ritual, making it a more accessible yet potent practice in our busy every day lives.
Think of it as sending a quick text message to the Archangels, inviting them to come and hang out with a cup of coffee.
With this sacred practice, you call upon the benevolent Archangels to surround you, uplift your energy, and provide guidance from the Angelic Realm. Imagine being embraced by the loving energies of Archangels from all directions.
That's precisely what the Invocation is all about.
You can use Archangel invocation for:
psychic protection
to uplift the energy of your surroundings
to tune in to the Angelic Realm and receive guidance from the Archangels
to receive the high-vibrational energy and healing from the Archangels
To invite blessings from the angelic realm
Let's dive right in!
Quarter Call
Archangel Invocation is based on the tradition of Calling the Quarters, where each quarter represents a cardinal direction of the compass and its connection to an Element – fire, water, earth, and air.
European traditions generally make the following correspondences:
East – Air – Raphael
South – Fir – Michael
West – Water – Gabriel
North – Earth – Uriel
Archangel Raphael
Archangel Raphael is the nurturing Angel of Air. He comes from the East with the emerald green light, carrying the healing winds that bring restoration and wholeness.
The Element of Air showers you with marvelous gifts like focus, intellect, mindfulness, truth, and the life force that sustains you. Simply becoming aware of your breath connects you to the Element of Air.
The Element of Air is manifested through the dancing wind, murky clouds, tall mountaintops, and the vast sky above them, and governs your mind, intellect, communication, and even your divination abilities.
Archangel Michael
Archangel Michael is the Angel of Fire. He comes blazing in from the South radiating electric blue flames of protection and the light of the Sun.
The Element of Fire brings you the blessings of action, passion, and that amazing ability to create because Fire is the Element of transformation.
If you see yourself being too passive in making decisions and taking action – you need to feed the Fire within you and make the flames soar. Simply ask Michael for help.
Fire is manifested as the Sun, stars, volcanos, sparks and embers, and is associated with illumination, strength, health, and creativity.
Archangel Gabriel
Archangel Gabriel is the Angel of Water, and she emerges from the deep waters of the West with the golden, silvery-white light of the Moon and an elemental tide of the ocean waves.
The Element of Water brings forth the blessings of flow. When you observe a body of water – take a river for example, you know it changes its shape, meanders and moves through the world by following the path of least resistance.
So, the water teaches you to adapt, be flexible and ever-changing. Sometimes the best solution to a problem is the simplest one that comes to mind.
Flowing through life like water, means you are living your life with ease and grace.
As the Water Element is connected to the Moon, it governs your emotions, intuition, dreams, and your psychic abilities.
Archangel Uriel
Archangel Uriel is the Angel of Earth and he comes from the North with the warm glow of the carnelian red light of illumination.
The Element of Earth is connected to the material plane – stability of a home, physical health and wellbeing, and material prosperity.
Earth element teaches you how to stay centered and grounded in the present moment. If you focus on your feet and the solid ground beneath you, you can find your balance and center.
Above and Below
In addition to 4 cardinal directions, I also like to add Above and Below to call in the presence of two powerful Throne angels.
Above – Spirit (Universal Wisdom) – Metatron
Below – Crystalline Wisdom of Gaia, Sophia, Mother Earth – Sandalphon
Metatron is the Angel of Ascension, and he comes forth with the high-vibrational violet-magenta light of spirit.
Sandalphon is the Angel of Prayer, and he comes in with the grounding turquoise light of crystalline wisdom.
Sandalphon's presence helps you remain grounded in the Earth below you and not feel too overwhelmed by the presence of all Archangels.
Inviting the Archangels
Finally! Let's see the form of Archangel Invocation.
I invite Archangel Raphael from the East.
I invite Archangel Michael from the South.
I invite Archangel Gabriel from the West.
I invite Archangel Uriel from the North.
I invite Archangel Sandalphon Below and Archangel Metatron Above.
Thank you for creating a sacred space, a container of light all around me.
Simple, short, and sweet!
The Archangels will surround you, forming a diamond (octahedron) shape, with you at the very center of their sacred formation.
The Archangels will fill this diamond with Archangelic qualities of high vibration, healing, and love.
While surrounded by Archangels, you can ask them to further raise the frequency of your surroundings and your vibration. Invite them to release dense energies, entities and uplift the space with their presence.
Relax and breathe in the light that is all around you. Allow the Archangels to cleanse your energy, open your chakras and infuse you with high-vibrational frequency.
Simply spending time in this sacred space helps you relax, heal, open your energy centers, raise your vibration, and attune you to the Angelic Realm for direct communication and deeper connection with the Archangels.
Focus your attention on a specific Archangel, seeking their guidance and messages for you. Feel the unique energy and qualities tied to each Archangel's governing element.
Ask the specific Archangel to balance the elements in you – Michael for fire, Gabriel for water, Raphael for air, and Uriel for earth.
You can also work with the combined energy of all six Archangels simultaneously.
Once your work is complete, express gratitude to the Archangels for their guidance and assistance before releasing the sacred space:
Thank you dear Archangels, for your presence, guidance, and love. And so it is!
The Archangels will step back, and you will feel like their presence grows fainter - but they will remain available, just a thought away, should you need them.
Alternative Version of Archangel Invocation
If you are really bad with directions like me, you can just imagine Archangels standing around you - on your left and right, in your front and back, above and below you.
Here is the alternative version of Archangel Invocation:
Archangel Raphael stands to my left…
Archangel Gabriel stands to my right…
Archangel Michael stands in front of me…
Archangel Uriel stands behind me…
Archangel Sandalphon is below me…
Archangel Metatron is above me…
Archangel Invocation Ritual
If you would prefer an invocation in a form of a ritual quarter call, I got you covered!
This Archangel ritual invocation will bring a sense of magick and art as you establish a profound communion with celestial guardians.
Think of it as a fancy and formal invitation letter for the Archangels to come in and connect with you.
By delving into the realms of air, fire, water, and earth, and summoning the benevolent Archangels Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel, you can use this invocation ritual to support your journey of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth.
Or you can simply ask for guidance and support with a certain situation.
Simple Steps for Archangel Invocation Ritual
1. Prepare Your Sacred Space
Find a tranquil spot where you won't be disturbed. Create an atmosphere that resonates with you – light candles, burn incense, or have your favorite crystals nearby.
2. Center Yourself
Take a few deep breaths and let go of any distractions. Allow your mind to settle, and open your heart to the presence of the Archangels.
3. Set Your Intention
Be clear about your purpose for the Invocation. Whether you seek psychic protection, guidance, or healing, state your intention with sincerity.
4. Call Upon the Archangels
Begin by acknowledging the elements – Air, Fire, Water, and Earth – and invite the respective Archangels: Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel. Feel their energies enveloping you with love and light.
5. Feel the Divine Presence
Embrace the high-vibrational energy emanating from the Archangels. Allow yourself to receive their blessings and healing, knowing that they are always with you.
Thank them for their loving guidance and protection. Trust that your connection with these celestial beings will continue to grow as you walk your spiritual path.
6. Concluding the Invocation
Lastly, it is important to release the ritual circle.
You do this by expressing your gratitude and intending the ritual to end. Thank each Archangel and Element for their assistance and bid them farewell until the next time you meet.
This allows the energy to leave the sacred space and not remain stuck or trapped within it!
