Archangel Michael
The archangel of protection and courage, invoked in energy work to clear fear and cut away draining energies.
Archangel Michael is widely regarded as the foremost of the archangels — a figure of protection, strength, and courage across Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. His name is traditionally understood to mean "He who is like God," and he appears throughout scripture as a leader and divine defender.
- Spiritual role: In energy-healing and angelic-spirituality circles he is seen as a protector who shields against negativity and helps dispel fear, anxiety, and overwhelm.
- Symbols & colour: He is associated with the sword and shield — used symbolically to "cut cords" of draining attachments — and with a vivid royal blue or indigo flame representing courage and spiritual strength.
- How he's invoked: Practitioners call on Archangel Michael for protection before or during sessions, for clearing heavy or stagnant energy from a space or person, and for releasing old emotional burdens.
Working with Archangel Michael is offered as a faith- and intention-based spiritual practice for comfort and courage — complementary and educational, never a substitute for medical care.
