Archangel Gabriel is the great messenger of the angelic kingdom. In every tradition that speaks of angels, it is Gabriel who announces what is about to be born. Gabriel serves on the Fourth Ray, the white ray of purity, which is also the ray of the ascension flame.

Gabriel is experienced by some as masculine and by others as feminine. The Archangels are beyond gender, and each shows the face that the person calling can most easily receive.

Role in the Ascension

Gabriel holds the pattern of what you are becoming. The teachings say that the Archangel keeps the immaculate concept of every soul, the original design that was yours before any lifetime began, and holds it steady until you are ready to step into it.

This is why Gabriel so often appears at beginnings: before a birth, a calling, a change of direction. With Archeia Hope, Gabriel brings the message and also the strength to act on it. For those who are learning to channel, Gabriel is the natural guardian of clear and truthful communication.

When to Call on Gabriel

  • Guidance when you do not know what comes next
  • Clear, honest speaking and writing
  • Purifying your motives before an important undertaking
  • New beginnings, including conception, birth and the care of children
  • Discipline and joy in a daily spiritual practice

Signs That Gabriel Is Near

  • Brilliant white light, sometimes with a trace of gold or copper
  • Waking in the early hours with a complete idea or instruction in mind
  • Hearing your name called softly when no one is there
  • Words that seem to write or speak themselves
  • A feeling of freshness, as after rain

How to Work With Gabriel

  1. Keep a notebook and pen where you sit or sleep. Gabriel's guidance is often brief and easily lost.
  2. Ask one clear question, aloud or in writing.
  3. Picture a column of white light descending through you from above the head to below the feet.
  4. Write whatever comes for five minutes without stopping to judge it.
  5. Read it back the next morning. Guidance from Gabriel is always kind, practical and free of fear.

An Invocation

Archangel Gabriel, messenger of the white ray,
bring me the word I am ready to hear.
Purify my thoughts, my speech and my intention.
Hold before me the pattern of who I truly am,
and give me the strength to become it.

A Word From Archangel Gabriel

You wait for an announcement, a great sign, a trumpet. But I have been speaking to you all your life in a voice so much like your own best thought that you did not think to call it mine.

The message has not changed. You are ready. You have been ready for longer than you know.
