Archangel Raphael

Chief Divine

Raphael who’s name means ‘God has healed’, is the last of the well-known angels who’s mentioned in the bible.

Raphael helps you triumph over despair and illness. In the Catholic faith, Raphael only appears in the Apocrypha. Raphael is the angel who helps Tobias cure his Dad's blindness in the book of Tobit. According to Judaism, Raphael is considered the healing angel.

In Christianity, Raphael is the archangel who was sent with a ring from God to assist King Solomon in the building of his temple. The seal of the ring was a pentagram, which was later adopted and used by humans in ceremonies, particularly witches. The pentagram is said to have the power to bind demons and is one of the oldest medical symbols known to man.

Raphael who it’s thought resides in the East, is usually associated with the star signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, and linked with the planet Mercury and the element of Air. The best day of the week to invoke Raphael is said to be on a Wednesday.

If you desire assistance in developing your psychic abilities, Rapheal’s your angel. It’s believed Raphael can help you to develop your psychic sight through the sixth chakra (the third eye). It’s through developing this chakra that you can achieve clear thinking and vision which will assist you in following your pathway without fear of the truth.

As well as being associated with healing and inner vision, Raphael is the angel of abundance. He will help eradicate any negative blocks, disease, and help you create everything you want, through visualisation and focus. If someone close to you is blinded to the truth around them, invoke Raphael and ask that their eyes be opened to the truth.

If you’re in need of powerful healing, Raphael is said to be the best angel to call on. I remember my mother who’d been gravely ill, and was to have yet another operation. The doctors weren’t sure whether she’d survive this time, as they were operating near her spinal cord and the pressure of a growth was affecting the neurons transmitting from and to the brain. She prayed that Raphael would heal and rid her, once and for all, of this disease she had. A few days later, just before her operation, she had been feeling unwell, so the nurses had pulled the curtains around her bed to give her time to rest. It wasn’t long before the curtains were opened and a gentleman stepped forward stating he was a doctor just checking to see, how she was. He told her she was going to be fine, and not to worry. My mother said this doctor was strange, he was the most beautiful man she’d ever seen and she noticed his immaculate hands and immaculate shoes which were extremely shiny and bright they almost glowed. My mother said she felt very calmed by this doctor, he took her hand for a while, she remember he’d a beautiful smile and she felt no pain whilst he was with her. He then said he must check on someone else and left. It wasn’t long after that a nurse came to check on her, and my mother recounted the doctor’s visit. The nurse was somewhat concerned, no doctor had been on the ward that afternoon. My mother told the nurse the name of the doctor who’d been to see her and described him. Upon checking, the nurse confirmed there wasn’t a doctor of that name at the hospital. Now my mum knew she wasn’t hallucinating. She felt completely calm, loved and at peace, and had an inner knowing everything would be all right. Needless to say, she made a miraculous recovery from that operation and lived another year and a half, before passing over to the other side.
