Work with the Angels for Guidance and Inspiration

Archangel Barachiel is known as the angel of blessings. He works to announce and deliver Gods blessings to those that are deserving and to guide those who believe they are less deserving of Gods approval. Barachiel also leads the guardian angels, who work more closely with humans than most any other angels. If you need help with faith or hope, he is there. Often we are clearing out old unhealthy habits and feel really miserable but he can help us move forward. Ask him for help with addiction.

If you draw The Archangel Barachiel UPRIGHT the card has the following meanings:

The Archangel Barachiel is very much about ‘doing the right thing.’ You may be struggling with an issue and are unsure about what is ‘right’ for you to do. Know that the answers are within you. Remember that the ‘right’ thing is what is right for you also.

Upright Meanings: beliefs, bonded, conformity, religion, marriage, commitment, conventional, traditional values, mercy, traditional institutions, inspiration, social approval, forgiveness

The Archangel Barachiel is the card of traditional values and institutions. The Archangel Barachiel can represent a counsellor or mentor who will provide you with wisdom and guidance or a spiritual or religious advisor such as a priest, vicar, preacher, imam, rabbi or a monk. Alternatively, you may be dealing with someone who is very set in their ways. The institutions The Archangel Barachiel card can represent include economic, religious, political, social, family, educational, social welfare and medical. Its appearance can signify that now is a time to conform to convention or tradition. It’s not a time to rock the boat. It can also be an indicator that you will take part in some sort of traditional ceremony or that you may start creating some new traditions or rituals of your own.

If you draw The Archangel Barachiel REVERSED this angel card has these meanings:

When reversed, The Archangel Barachiel is still very much about ‘doing the right thing.’ In reversal, however, it indicates a more-than-normal level of confusion about what exactly the right thing is. The answers are within you if, that is, you have enough information about the situations at hand. In this reversal suggests that you may need to dig a little deeper to find out what is what. Remember that the ‘right’ thing is what is right for you also.

Reversed Meanings: unconventional relationships, vulnerability, unorthodoxy, challenging tradition, foolish generosity, unconventionality, frailty, unconventional lifestyles, reversed roles, impotence

When The Archangel Barachiel appears reversed it is time to break with convention. You will want to change traditional structure, social norms and rigid rules. Those close to you may not understand this need to challenge the established way of doing things and may be completely against it but with this major card appearing in your reading you will feel compelled to think for yourself and through away the rule book. The Archangel Barachiel reversed can signify an unconventional way of living or an alternative lifestyle. Alternatively, it may indicate that you are clinging desperately to old ways to your detriment or it may indicate that you have feelings of guilt and shame associated with behaving in a way that goes against the values you were raised with. Learning to live by your own rules, while still listening to your own conscience, will bring you freedom from oppression. It will open your mind and expand your horizons in a positive way. The Archangel Barachiel reversed can also be an indicator of conflict with a person in a position of authority.
