archangel
"Occultists
sometimes associate archangels in Kabbalistic fashion with various
seasons or elements, or even colors. In some Kabbalah-based systems
of ceremonial magic, all four of the main archangels (Michael, Gabriel,
Raphael and Uriel) are invoked as guarding the four quarters, or directions,
and their corresponding colors are associated with magical properties.
In anthroposophy,
based on teachings by Rudolph Steiner, there are many spirits belonging
to the hierarchical level of archangel. In general, their task is
to inspire and guard large groups of human beings, such as whole nations,
peoples or ethnic groups. This reflects their rank above the angels
who deal with individuals (the guardian angel) or small groups. The
main Seven archangels with the names given by Saint Gregory, Oriphiel,
Anael, Zachariel, Raphael, Samael, Gabriel and Michael, have a special
assignment to act as a global Zeitgeist ('time spirit'), each for
periods of about 380 years. Since 1879, Michael is our leading time
spirit. Four important archangels also display periodic spiritual
activity over the seasons: spring= Raphael, summer= Uriel, autumn=
Michael and winter= Gabriel. (In the lesser banishing ritual of the
pentagram, facing East (spring), "Before me Raphael, behind me
(West, autumn) Gabriel, on my right (South, summer) Michael, and on
my left (North, winter) Uriel.") Note that archangels may be
good or evil. Many of their rank are collaborators of Ahriman, whose
purpose is to alienate humanity from the spiritual world and promote
materialism and heartless technical control."
