properties and qualities of Angels?

[Angelmist]

What do you know about the properties and qualities of the Angels and what they stand for?

Here is just a couple as I understand them.

Michael is the Protector with his Sword of Flame.
Gabriel is the Messenger.
Metatron is the oldest Angel - the first born, the sum of all of the Angels.
Uriel is the four of the elements.
Raphael is the healer with his Golden Robe of Healing.

The four Archangels who guard the gate are the Angels of the four elements, the Four Breaths.

Gabriel is at the North with his trumpet (clarion), Uriel is at the East with his golden chalice (bowl), Zadkiel is at the South with his harp and Michael is at the West with his Flaming Sword.

There are twelve major important Archangels and Angels headed by Metatron, the thirteenth and Firstborn (created). They never incarnate into a physical body and their sole purpose is to minister to all Beings, interpreting and teaching them to apply God's Word.

These are my own thoughts what are Yours? What do you know about the Angels?

Blessings

Thank you for the info on the angels. It is such a wide subject that there are many different thoughts on it. It all goes to widen our own perceptions and thoughts. It gives us more to think about and look at.

I guess it doesn't matter how you clarify the angels as long as that is your belief.

I connect strongly with the Greek four elements. And so calling Gabrielle as water and seeing him wash me clean with a big blue wave works for me. I think of Raphael as air and envision clouds and wind sweeping into the corners of my being and furrowing out any hidden negative energy stuck there. Michael is the fire angel and he burns away negativity with a pure bright warm light. Uriel grounds me like a tree with roots to the center of the earth and showers me with flowers.

This works for me and belief in it is all that matters as long as I hold the angels in a dignified pure loving exchange and always thank them afterward.

They don't seem to care what names I call them or what attributes they are given and combining them with elements makes them more connected to me...or I to them.

I think you have to meditate to find their names and personalities. I also have one named Aristophanes who I don't know very well but has been with me
forever.

I think it's better to experience them in your own personal way than reading someone elses ideas. That would be like copying someone's art work. It't really not yours, though it may be pretty.
