DIRECTORY OF ARCHANGELS AND OTHER ANGELIC BEINGS

ARCHANGEL HANIEL

Archangel Haniel governs the moon and its spiritual connections. Her name means either "Grace of God" or "Glory of God", and she has an amazing pearly white and light blue aura.

Haniel reminds me of the pop singer Shakira. She has a shamanic-priestess feel, with long golden locks that seem to move in the wind. Her skin is pearly white and her eyes are deep brown.

Haniel's energy helps us awaken our natural gifts and talents. She allows us to connect to the true spirit of grace and to see clearly where our life is taking us. She has a strong connection to women and to sensitive people who are born with second sight.

People experience clairvoyance in different ways seeing visions, auras or dreams; randomly seeing repeating numbers; seeing feathers or other symbols such as horseshoes or magpies, etc. Whichever way our clairvoyance works, Haniel can help us strengthen our connection.

When we work with Haniel and her divine luminance, we naturally open up our third eye. The third-eye chakra is located between the brows and governs our ability to perceive. If were having problems with our physical or psychic sight, it could mean that this chakra is blocked or doesn't have enough energy Haniel can help balance this.

Haniel's energy has a lunar effect - when she works with us she can bring a tide of change that affects our whole life. As the glory of God, she enables us to see our divine gifts and qualities She reminds us that these aren't always intense; they can be so subtle that we miss them. But when we call on this angel, she will illuminate them so that we can shine as a glorious child of God.

HERE IS A MESSAGE FROM HANIEL:

"It is your spiritual right to be strong and graceful; it is your spiritual right to see with great clarity. Within each soul whe walks the Earth there lies the ability to connect with and exercise these great angelic qualities. If you work with me and my luminous light, I will support you in unleashing and expressing the divine from the inside out. Welcome me in-I am here to serve you!"

GODDESS CONNECTIONS

Because of the strong Goddess connections with the moon and the moon's links with the menstrual cycle, Haniel can support women through any menstrual issues or even menopause. If you have any concerns in these areas, call on her for support.

We all - even men - also have an inner goddess. This is the part of us that is strong and focused. It's the part Haniel can empower. She stands by us like a sister, friend and guide, encouraging us to see our qualities as a soul. When we connect to our inner goddess, we balance the receptive, psychic and feminine sides of our body and personality. Haniel can offer help in these areas now.

FULL MOON MAGIC

Those of you who feel drawn to Earth-based spiritual traditions such as Wicca and paganism will love Haniel's energy. She is a high priestess who can help you connect with the moon and its magic.

Most types of magic and manifestations are best focused on at the time of the full moon, as this phase represents the 'mother' aspect and is when the moon's influence is at its most powerful.

You can really strengthen your connection to Haniel by meditating under the full moon or by visualizing full-moon energy washing over your whole body. See that blushed-white luminous energy radiating around you.

As you do this, you are connecting to the divine within you, to tides of positive change and to the energy of grace.

The semi-precious gem moonstone has close connections with the moon and therefore Haniel's energy. If you place it on a window ledge during the full moon, you can call on Haniel to bless it. By carrying it with you in a bra (if you're female) or a sock (if you're male), you can draw in Haniel's divine qualities.

By placing your crystals, angel cards, tarot cards or any other healing tools on a window ledge at the time of the full moon. You can also ask Haniel to bless them and can ask the moon to charge them. This is likely to heighten your natural psychic and intuitive abilities.

Here's the prayer to say when you leave the tools to be charged:

"Archangel Haniel, thank you for your divine blessings on these tools. I now leave them to be charged by your light and lunar magic, knowing they will have heightened support and connection to heaven.

And so it is!"

HANIEL AND OTHER ARCHANGELS

• Haniel, Ariel and Gabriel will help groups of women get along and grow together.

• Haniel can work with Raphael and Raziel to help us cultivate our spiritual gifts and clairvoyance.

• As Haniel governs the moon and Uriel the sun, they can work together to bring polarity and balance. I'd work with them both for jetlag and chemical imbalance issues such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and bipolar disorder.
