Aloha everyone,

I have always been fascinated by words. I didn’t know what I wanted to write about today, so I looked up the word Monday and found out all sorts of interesting things. I was thinking about writing on a specific angel today, so I was surprised when I found out Mondays are the day angels are commemorated by the Greek Orthodox Church.

Mondays are also considered auspicious days to fast, it is one of three days the Torah is read in public, and it is refers to day of the moon. According to Christian tradition, Sunday is the first day of the week while Monday is the first day of the work week for most people. That being said, I’d like to introduce you to one of my favorite angels, Camael (eventually, you will notice they are all my favorites).

Camael

Camael will help you with: Creating balance. Releasing stress. Awakening your innate goodness. Finding justice. Succeeding in any venture. Improving your relationships.

Camael’s name refers to “divine justice.” He wrestled with Jacob and appeared to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, filling him with hope at a time of great despair. In Druid mythology, he is the God of War and rules the planet Mars. When invoked he can appear as a leopard crouching on a rock or as a warrior dressed in a red tunic. He wears a green vest and has huge green wings. When you call upon him you will often see flashes of green.

Camael is the gatekeeper of heaven. He bestows power and invincibility on anyone who asks and who truly loves God. He awakens the goodness or Holiness that exists within everyone. He deepens interpersonal relationships and assists with self-discipline.

As a champion of divine justice, Camael is also an arbitrator of karma. He can show you how to release any lingering karma. He can also make sure justice is served if he feels you are being honest.

The greatest gifts in life come when you find the balanced, middle way that lies within. When you want to find that balance call upon Camael. He will help you connect with your inner wisdom and balance all areas of your life so that stress becomes a thing of the past. He will help you take flight and succeed in any endeavor that supports the greatest good.

Invocation

Light a green candle, take a few deep breaths and allow Camael to surround you with his magnificent wings. Open your heart and ask for his assistance. Honestly express your wants, needs and desires. Allow yourself to feel his love and to be guided by his wisdom.

I hope you have fun working with Camael

With love and aloha,
Susan

And remember you really do have angels on your shoulders!
