Who is your favorite angel? Most people respond with the name of an archangel because their names are more familiar than most. My favorite is Barakiel, at least this week!
 

Barakiel’s name means “God’s blessing.” He is an ancient
angel, over 130,000 years old, and is considered to be one of God’s mightiest
angels. According to The Almadel of Solomon, a 17^th century
book purportedly written by King Solomon, Barakiel is in charge of people’s
attitudes and protects innocents. Barakiel hunts evil, has dominion over
lightning and rules the month of February. He is a ruler of the Seraphim which
are divine creatures associated with Cherubim. Cherubim are the winged
creatures, or guardian spirits, which protected the Garden of Eden.

Barakiel assists people in having a positive outlook and in experiencing good fortune. Gamblers who really want to win would do well to ask Barakiel for his assistance.

Barakiel has a great sense of humor and inspires laughter and joy. It is said that as he walks in his favorite place, the prayers of people appear on the trunks of the trees. He always answers prayers offered with an open heart and a willing spirit.

Invocation

Barakiel loves the forest, so if you want his aid light pine, cedar or sandalwood incense or place some leaves from your favorite tree around the room. Focus on your request, think clearly about what you want and then simply ask Barakiel to help you create it. Barakiel loves laughter so fill your heart with joy and celebration for what is about to come into your life.
 
Barakiel will help you with:

Creating abundance
Protection during a thunderstorm
Lifting your spirits
Having a positive attitude
Succeeding when it seems like a long shot
