Who Is Archangel Michael?

Archangel Michael is one of the most revered archangels in many spiritual traditions.

His name means “Who is like God?” and he symbolizes divine strength, courage, and protection.

Often depicted with a sword or shield, Michael acts as a guardian who fights off darkness and guides souls toward the light.

Many people call on him for:

Psychic and energetic protection

Step-by-Step: How to Call on Archangel Michael for Protection

1. Find a Quiet Space

Create a peaceful environment where you won’t be disturbed.

Light a candle or some incense if you like, and sit comfortably.

2. Ground Yourself

Take a few deep breaths. Visualize roots extending from your feet into the Earth, anchoring you firmly in place.

This helps center your energy.

3. Set Your Intention

Say silently or aloud:

“I call upon Archangel Michael to surround me with his protective light and divine presence.Please shield me from all negativity and guide me in strength and courage.”

4. Visualize Michael’s Presence

Imagine a brilliant blue or white light descending around you, forming a protective shield.

See Archangel Michael standing beside you, holding his sword of truth and shield of light.

5. Speak Your Prayer or Invocation

Here’s a simple prayer you can use:

“Archangel Michael, mighty protector,Please stand guard at my side.Cut all cords of fear and harm,Shield me with your divine light.Guide me with your sword of truth,Keep me safe in body, mind, and spirit.Thank you for your powerful protection.”

Feel free to personalize this or use your own words.

6. Feel the Protection

Spend a few moments in stillness, sensing the energy of Michael’s presence. Feel safe, supported, and strong.

7. Thank Archangel Michael

Always express gratitude:

“Thank you, Archangel Michael, for your loving protection and guidance.”

Tips for Working with Archangel Michael Regularly

Create an altar with a blue candle, a feather, or an image of Michael to invite his energy into your space daily.
Carry a symbol such as a small sword pendant or a blue crystal (like lapis lazuli or sodalite) to remind you of his protection.
Call on him before sleep to guard your dreams and spiritual body.
