An Invocation of Archangels

As a ceremonialist, I love to invoke the archangels. Sometimes I add to this ceremony the invocation of Egyptian goddesses, which is also a part of my training as a priestess of Isis. Rev. A. Win Srogi taught me this way to invoke the energies to participate in the cocreation of a sacred becoming. Before any ceremony, I use my index finger to imagine a blue flame emerging from my fingertip. Keeping constant mental focus, I walk around the perimeter of the room, drawing a sacred fire about me and the place where I will do my work. Everything begins in the East where the sun rises. Moving counterclockwise to the South, to the West, to the North, and back to the East, I visualize the sacred protection of divine light. The circle always concludes in the East. Now the invocation can begin. If you will, visualize the East, or face East. Visualize sunlight at the break of day, the green, healing energy of a forest. The yellow sunlight moves between the trees, over and across the horizon, flowing toward your feet. Standing before a yellow door, you knock or ring a bell, calling the archangel Raphael. “Ra-phi-a-El!” you call. “Oh, mighty Raphael, archangel and light of the East, bringer of springtime, guardian of the air and clouds, the blue sky, the winged ones, we welcome your new beginning. You bring the healing sunlight with you. You awaken us from death and sleep. Bless our endeavors this day and every day of our lives. Help us to see the new day possibilities as we begin a new chapter in our lives. “We thank you for your presence in our lives.” Archangel Michael 2018 - Figurative Religious Oil Painting - Fine Arts ...Now turn to the South and visualize the risen sun high in the sky at noon. Feel its heat upon your forehead as if you were a tall sunflower reaching up to the light. You offer your fullness to the world. This is the blessed place of summer, the busy-ness of our spiritual lives. And a red door appears. You knock or ring the bell, calling for the Archangel Michael. “Mi-ki-a-El!  “Oh, mighty Michael, Archangel of fire, dragons, and creatures of heat, guardian of the South, you bring us strength and courage to do the mighty work of the Creator. You fortify our will to do good and to give service. Bless us as we go about your sacred business, protect, and shield us with your wings. Bring up our passion to cocreate a world we shall live in with joy and vigor. We will ourselves to do the will of the Great One. “We thank you for your presence in our lives.  Now turn toward or visualize the West. See the close of day. See the brilliant orange, purple, and rose colors of sunset. You can hear ocean waves lapping on a nearby shore. The blue door of heaven appears on the horizon. Knock or ring the bell, calling for the Archangel Gabriel. “Ga-bra-a-El! “Oh, mighty Archangel Gabriel, protector of the Western gate, champion of the finned creatures, the fish, the dolphins, whales, and all things of the sea, we welcome you into our lives. You are the mighty messenger of transformation. Wash away our recalcitrance and stubbornness, our clinging to the past into that which no longer serves us. Cleanse and heal us so that in drawing closer to the source of life eternal, we are blessed and made whole. Awaken in us the possibility of renewal of our sacred purpose. “We thank you for your presence in our lives.” Now, turn to face the North and visualize a brilliant night sky. As if you had climbed to the top of a mountain to stand beneath the vault of heaven, you are enveloped in innumerable stars. This is the place of crystals and the solid earth that sustains us. Visualize a door opening in the Sky and a ladder descending from the height of heaven to touch the earth at your feet. A brilliant star appears. Knock on the door or ring a bell, calling for the Archangel Uriel. “OO-rye-a-El! ‘Almighty and most high Archangel Uriel, guardian of the North and leader of all the angels of heaven more numerous than the stars, we invite the mystery of your presence into our lives as we speak and work as spiritual lights in concert with the prophets, the ascended Masters, the devata, and angels. We invoke the holiness of your being to enlighten us, to guide us, to inspire us, and to draw us in closer to an eternal relationship with Creative Power of the Universe, and its manifestation on Earth and in all things of earth. “Thank you for being a powerful presence and witness to this sacred moment of our lives.” After you have invoked the four archangels of the directions returned to face the East, then bow. When the time comes to release the archangels, simply return to the East again, say the angel’s name, and thank them for attending your ceremony. To conclude, repeat this ending sentence. "Go in love and peace, blessing all along the way.” You may now open the circle by opening pointing to the earth, drawing the energy up, and opening your hands over your head.

2023 - REACHING NEW HEIGHTS

     Things change. No matter how we fight them, we find that leaning into the painful change allows us to open to new heights. I have moved from Camp Chesterfield, a community I dearly loved, and I am living now in Kentucky--the place of my birth, nestled between its green grasses and hills like a soft, firry animal finding a comfortable lap. I am home.

   Here is where I spent my days and a few evenings, writing--and waiting for friends to come to write with me, to study mystical texts with me, to smile, to remember and to spin a few yarns. Please contact me. Message me on FB and let's get together to share tea, coffee, memoirs. I love how you stay in my memory and my heart. I call you forth.

Exploring the Unseen Conference


Announcing my new book THE ANCIENT TRADITION OF ANGELS by participating in this remarkable conferane on the Unseen. It's time.


You can feel the energy changing these days in a multitude of ways. In these transitional times, which also hold great potential for transformation and the awakening of our individual and collective consciousness, messages from the unseen world have never been more available to us – or more valuable.

 

With the world at a choice point, our ability to connect and work with the unseen is one of the most essential skills we will need to root us in our authentic power, support our expansion, remember who we really are as divine humans, and help birth the New Earth.  

 

That’s why I’m so delighted to be one of the presenters at Exploring the Unseen: Unlocking the Secrets of the Non-Material World [https://bit.ly/ExploringtheUnseen-NormandiEllis], an online event and retreat April 23rd to 29th, 2023.

Through discussion, experiential practices, ceremony, and activations, you’ll explore and deepen your noticing, listening, receptivity, and discernment on a journey through the non-material world of multidimensional consciousness, dreams, the Akashic records, angels, guides, nature spirits, mediumship, the ancestors, and much more. 

 

This unique global event, co-hosted by my colleagues, Leslie Zehr (The Universal Dancer) and Keren Brown (WiseWoman Leading), will be live-streamed and interactive, including special opening and closing ceremonies direct from the island of O’ahu.


What might you gain from the Exploring the Unseen Conference, where you can 
  1. Deepen your access to the non-material world to expand your consciousness

  2. Enhance your connection to the unseen world

  3. Exploring the many ways to enter the unseen realm – and find out why it matters

  4. Expand your multidimensional awareness to stay grounded and in your power

  5. Strengthening your connection to the unseen as an essential skill for tumultuous times

  6. Enhancing your ability to connect with the unseen: your best superpower in uncertain times

  7. Remember who you truly are in uncertain times

  8. Joining other cosmic visionaries, pioneers, authors, guides, and teachers, I will be speaking about [Angels, Neteru and Divine Messengers] on [April 26, @ 10 am ].

     

    This retreat will help you:

     

    ·  Access deeper wisdom, clarity, and knowing so all areas of your life can flow with more ease and grace

    ·  Trust your intuition and guidance more than ever before

    ·  Stay more rooted, centered, calm, and focused, even in the midst of external challenges

    ·  Connect you to a deeper sense of meaning and purpose so you can be the change

     

    This promises to be a profound and transformational event and I look forward to connecting with you there!

Earth Day Shivers

I am waiting in the dark
like one ray of sunlight
Aten
ready to pop out
from behind this cloud.
I am morning
longing for bird song.

I am trillium
with my two budded
lips pursed
suckling cold dew
from the teat of morning.
I am worry, prayer
a trembling kiss.

I am the chattering
pink teeth mark of redbud
waiting to explode
along the arm of tree.
I am the green hearts
of leaves longing
for perfect light.

In a cold viral world
I cry: Wake me!
For goddess sake,
unmask the glory
the aching craving--
this falling in love
with the earth
burning in light.
--Normandi Ellis
