Archangel Raphael is the angel of healing.
I had a really vivid experience with Raphael when I first started working with angels. I had a really bad cold and felt like total poop. I called on Archangel Raphael to heal me and I felt this breeze across my body! I asked him to heal me from my cold and he said that’s not really how it works, Vix.
So while Archangel Raphael didn’t take away my cold, he did give me some advice and guidance on other things that were going on in my life that also needed healing.
We often think of “healing” in a physical sense, and while it’s always a good idea to call on Archangel Raphael for physical healing (although please always seek professional medical advice), that’s not the only kind of healing he can support you with.
Archangel Raphael can support you with healing your mind, heart, spirit, energy, chakras, or anything going on in your aura or in your life. He can help you heal relationships, blocks, karma or just about anything that needs “healing.”
During a meditation I asked Archangel Raphael to come in and send me some energy healing. He appeared to me as a young man dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt. I was a little shook by that, as he really didn’t look “angelic” at all. When I asked him, he just told me that angels don’t really have a form, so they can appear to us in whatever way we can best connect with them.
The longer I worked with angels, the more they turned up looking more like friends than angelic beings of light, and it really did help me connect so much deeper with them.
The way me and Ellie Grant depicted Archangel Raphael in the Angels Among Us Oracle is just like he appeared to me that day - as a regular guy in jeans and a white tee. This doesn’t make him any less powerful or less angelic though!
Just like it doesn’t make you any less angelic to be in your human suit!
If you are in need of some of Archangel Raphael’s healing in any area, I hope this spread supports you.
You don’t have to use the Angels Among Us Oracle (although you can!), you can use any oracle, tarot or any deck you have to hand.
You may like to start with a deep breath and ask Archangel Raphael to be with you, giving you the messages you most need right now, and that everything that comes through is in alignment with your best and highest good.
OK, let’s pull some cards! :D
1. what needs healing
If you’re unsure of what needs healing, you can shuffle and pull a card like usual. If you already know what needs healing, you can select a card upright and place it in this position.
2. The Root cause
If you really want deep healing it has to go right into the root cause. We so often ask for healing on a surface level, and then have to heal it over and over and over again. This card will show you what is causing the need for healing so you can really get to the root of the issue and heal from there.
3. Who/what can heal this
Calling on Archangel Raphael is just one part of the healing process and there is only so much he can do. Think of your healing journey as a co-creation and let this card show you what you can do to help the healing to occur.
4. How to receive this healing
It’s one thing to ask for healing, it’s another entirely to be able to fully open up and receive it. Here you’ll find some guidance on how to let the healing happen.
