The Archangel Azrael

Work with the Angels for Guidance and Inspiration

The archangel Azrael is one of the arch angels whom we all know in one form or another. Often known as the angel of death, Azrael’s role is to aid with death. Souls that become lost or need of guidance are his wards. As are those here on Earth who are struggling with the loss of someone they loved. Don’t mistake Azrael to be the bringer of death. He doesn’t cause it or wish it but helps in the instances where it has happened. He is described as the Angel of Death, but this is a good thing. He comforts families and friends whose loved one passed. For the passing, he helps them to the light. He offers a lot of compassion and wisdom, and is here to also remind us that we have much to live for even after death.

You may want to consider seeking some professional counselling to help you heal the wounds of the past and leave them where they belong. The Archangel Azrael can signify that you have lost your confidence, your belief in yourself and your trust in your own abilities.
