Angels and Archangels

 

An angel is a spiritual supernatural being found in many religions. Although the nature of angels and the tasks given to them vary from tradition to tradition. An archangel is a powerful, pure and high-ranking angel whose function is to govern large groups, or hosts, of lesser angels. Archangels have free will, whereas angels do not.

The function of Angels is to provide us with our spiritual and emotional needs. Angels are neither male nor female, but they are often referred to as he or she.  They do not have a human form because they are made up of energy, love and light. 

The seven Archangels include Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and the fallen Lucifer.
