Info-dump on starting angel work Because it's been a while since I've posted about angel work!

I love angels!

People particularly work with Archangels because they are the leaders of their domains. There are theoretically infinite angels and you could really pray to any in any domain but we'll get back to that.

There are many different groups of Archangels, rather than one agreed upon "pantheon"

I work with the Ars Paulina system, which includes but isn't limited to (because there are many): Archangel Samael = Angel of Execution Archangel Haniel = Angel of Grace Archangel Raphael = Angel of Healing Archangel Gabriel = Messenger Angel Archangel Michael = Angel of Protection Archangel Zadkiel = Angel of Mercy Archangel Cassiel = Angel of Temperance Archangel Azrael = Angel of Death Archangel Uriel = Angel of Wisdom

Lists in this post courtesy of my friend @angelmilkdreams <- amazing blog for angel work btw

Ars Paulina is the angel version of Ars Goetia and is part of the Lesser Key of Solomon

You can also look into your birth angels or sun & moon angels through this system! They're your teaching angels, so they can sort of tell you what you may do in this life or something about your energy. The angels are assigned by zodiac:

Traditional: Aries & Scorpio = Samael Taurus & Libra = Haniel Gemini & Virgo = Raphael Cancer = Gabriel Leo = Michael Sagittarius & Pisces = Zadkiel Capricorn & Aquarius = Cassiel

Modern: Scorpio = Azrael Aquarius = Uriel Pisces = Asariel

For more about your birth angels, I suggest checking out Ariel Gatoga. I still recommend him after all this time.

If you ever get into angel work, you might want to explore different sets of angels to see who resonates with you. You also don't have to work with every angel in a pantheon. The main ones I call upon are Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel and Haniel. I bring in other angels for prayers to others, though

Practitioners have different opinions about this, but I think angels are one of the easiest spirits to work with!

Because they love unconditionally. They love to help us and their purpose is assisting creation! They do still exist beyond this material world though - so it's not like strict servitude to humans

Another great reason: they don't require ceremony to be summoned. You may come across things like ceremonial magic for angels, or enochian magic etc. Ars Paulina also has rituals for summoning but I found you don't need them (maybe if you're asking for huge stuff).

That's cool if people want to do that though you simply need to use your words. Just invite them into your life, or your space, or something (like job, if relevant). There's no structure to prayers but you can be inspired by helpol prayer format if you so choose.

"Archangel Haniel, Archangel of Grace and Harmony, I invite you and your blessings into my life."

This is a good enough prayer to say to start a devotional connection with Archangel Haniel.

Angels don't need offerings but they're still nice to give. We usually say you venerate angels or work with angels rather than worship. But it's up to you as well - this way is just more common.

Some offerings can include angelic imagery or icons, flowers, things that remind you of angels, items that are specific to certain archangels (oils, sachets of herbs, amulets and talismans), incense!

Where do they come from? Who knows? /hj Depends on your belief system.

I believe angels come from a variety of sources. I believe angels came from the universal source, I believe they probably came from God too. I believe pagan gods have angels. I believe Hermes, Iris, Eros and Thanatos are angels who have their own angels. It doesn't really matter to me where they came from - I just know they exist in different forms across religions

Fun fact: Did you know the most common hierarchy of angels was written by a guy named Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite? His book was called On the Celestial Hierarchy

Extra fun fact: His inspiration is said to be the Chaldean Oracles and Hekate's triad of angels. The iynges (don't know too much about these ones), the synochesis (intercessors and guides) and teletarchai (something to do with initiation, probably with mysteries).

Extra extra fun fact: Zeus was said to have an angel (angelos) in inscriptions at Stratonikeia, Hekate's most significant town as a civic/patron goddess. Some scholars theorise the unnamed angel in Stratonikeian inscriptions could be Hekate herself

Anyway, angels like devotional acts too! Prayers are a good way to communicate with them. It is possible to sense the energy of angels! I noticed a difference in my room when I started working with angels - I could tell they were around, and they made things a little brighter

Can you use prayers from Christianity and Catholicism for the angels if they resonate? Yeah sure

You can also get into astrology with angels. It's a pretty big part of Ars Paulina (the planetary aspect). If you want to work with Haniel at a peak time, do it on a Friday when the planetary hour is aligned with Venus. If you want to do the same for Gabriel, Monday on Moon hours. For Raphael, Wednesday on Mercury hours.

Angels have sigils and symbols. You can use the planetary symbols as sigils for them too. I've attached a couple sigils for Raphael here

This website has information from Ars Paulina - another I still recommend after all these years: https://www.archangels-and-angels.com/

Let me know if you'd like to know anything else about angel work! Practitioners can have varying opinions about all this, so be sure to research and consider what works for you. It can also change over time.

the placement in your chart that's secretly running your life entirely ♡

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨

a little observation post because everyone seems to obsess over their big three, but honestly, it's usually the placements no one talks about that are ruling the entire chart.

• your moon sign is doing more work than your sun ever has. like… your sun is who you are on paper, but your moon is who you are at 1am when no one's watching in your room and what you're doing EXACTLY. the way you self-soothe, the way you panic, the foods you crave when you're sad, it's all moon. people will date your sun and then break up with your moon hehe.

• your mercury runs your relationships more than your venus does, and nobody talks about this. you can have the sweetest venus in the world but if your mercury can't communicate it, it doesn't land. the way you text, the way you argue, the way you go quiet, that's the placement people actually experience. though the REASON why you broke up, could be your venus' and mercury's fault.

• your rising sign is literally your face. like the energy people pick up in the first three seconds before you've said anything. it's also why two people with the same sun sign can feel completely different in a room. though I can always spot a sagittarius rising in a room.

• your chart ruler (the planet that rules your rising) is honestly the main character of your chart and most people don't even know which one is theirs. if your rising is taurus, your venus is running everything. if your rising is scorpio, your mars and pluto are basically co-piloting your life. it explains so much once you find it. and once you'll figure it out (or ask me to do it), focus on those exact planets more, they literally rule your entire chart to begin with.

• your saturn placement is the thing you're quietly insecure about but also the thing you'll become weirdly excellent at by your thirties. it's the area of life where you feel behind for years and then suddenly everyone's asking you for advice about it.

• your moon's house placement tells you where you emotionally live. like literally, 4th house moons need a home base, 7th house moons need a person, 11th house moons need their friends, 12th house moons need to disappear for a week every so often. it's not personality, it's emotional infrastructure.

• your venus sign is less about who you love and more about how you want to be loved. and most people are out here giving their partners venus-in-their-own-sign love instead of venus-in-their-partner's-sign love, which is why everyone feels slightly unseen idk.

• your mars is the placement that exposes you the fastest. how you flirt, how you fight, how you chase, how you give up. you can fake every other placement in your chart but your mars shows up the second you want something. ESPECIALLY if it rules your chart.

• your 12th house placements are the things you don't even know you're doing. they're the patterns other people notice about you before you do. it's the most honest part of your chart and also the part you have the least access to, which is so cruel of the universe honestly!

• and your north node? that's the placement that feels uncomfortable on purpose. it's the version of you that you're growing into, which is why it feels like wearing someone else's clothes for most of your twenties.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨

honestly half the people i read for come in asking about their sun sign and leave realizing their entire life makes sense because of one placement they'd never heard of ♡

reading slots are open btw, birth charts, synastry, composite and the price list is in my pinned for anyone who wants to dig through their own chart first!

love you all, thank you for reading ♡

I just learned that a lot of vintage perfumes and fragrances were intentionally created to blend well with the ever-present smell of cigarettes, and in specific a lot of iconic ones that are super musky and floral and civet-heavy were intended to compliment the smell of fur coats or even "refresh" that new fur coat smell, which is one of the reasons (besides just shifting preferences and trends) that a lot of them smell really, really bad to modern noses.

I bet there's some stunning genius diva out there right now who meticulously coordinates her Victoria's Secret body mists with her vape flavors.

2026 Wishful Thinking: Age of Unicorns

im not a trend forecaster i just notice patterns yadda yadda subject to change yadda yadda may not be accurate yadda yadda

Building off indie sleaze i could see this 2010s messy ethereal unicorn inspired look popping up here and there. I think it would be partially influenced by coachella fashion as there was lots of talk abt how coachella fashion fell off. so i think the big sparkly face gems could crop up on more adventurous individuals.

going back to indie sleaze, otherworldly creature imagery was popular. we mostly think of aliens and tumblr grunge and the alien balloons but the goofy unicorn mask was a common thing you saw. i think the unicorn will be the image of choice because of the slavic living doll currently cropping up in girlblogger spaces and specifically valeria lukyanova, and her odd alien-esque look could be repurposed into unicorn imagery bc of her pale white hair, pale skin and bright blue almost-purple-looking-in-some-light eyes.

whereas the indie sleaze craze focuses on being outside in the club doing coke i think the unicorn would be more introverted doing shrooms in your room. sky ferreria lost in my bedroom coded. with things getting more expensive and the terrible turn of the world i see less powders more hallucinogenics but largely inside the home. with euphoria coming back i also see bedroom drugs influencing some ppl.

i also think the unicorn would emphasize the arrested development people still may feel and the need to cling to childish delights even when engaging with adult behavior. the increase of cassie ainsworth imagery plays along with this as well. aligns well with the ozempdemic of being dainty and fragile

the unicorn wont be as put together, it'll be very messy but in a more 'bedrotting' way, overgrown roots and such. i do think we will see some people return to candy colored hair as ive seen a couple of popular posts on here about pink and lilac hair colors. it wont be enough to have pale white blonde hair but girls with this look will grow in popularity like the unicorn perfume girl on tiktok

this will also be another way for ppl to emphasize being 'fragile' esp due to the last unicorn showing up more in tiktok audios and people desiring to look and smell like one--which is also why i think lilac may be a desirable fragrance note soon as its already turning heads because of tears by regime des fleurs and nosferatu by heretic. lilac is a note that represents melancholy and etherealness which fits the unicorn perfectly

may also lead to more piercings since tattoos are so expensive and its less en vogue. piercings can be acquired and then taken out with less consequence and less money than a tattoo. maybe medusa piercings will be used to emphasize cupids bows as the rounded look has been popular for a while.

finally, i think the unicorn and MAYBE the dragon but the pale silvery dragon a la daenerys targeryen. former neo nazi and regrettable coquette icon alida simone is known for using dragon imagery and her current aesthetic aligns with the esoteric mystical unicorn/dragon. funny enough this also aligns w the medieval resurgence happening

the 4 axis of rockstar style: the barbie groupie; the poison poppy; the feline fatale; the desert eagle

i talked about the things that could possibly lead to a small (or large who knows) resurgence in rock n roll inspired fashion in my last post and now im gonna talk about the different ways it could manifest both logically and me kinda waffling and hoping to see it. obvi none are set in stone and could never happen at all but these are patterns im noticing

the barbie groupie: this is very rock of love contestant. this would be a evolution of the bimbo and y2k looks merging with the coy/hannah corallo look. i think those two are very 2000s alt inspired and the blend of that with girly y2k is. ive seen a few people start talking about using rock of love an inspiration, and i think it could increase within that circle. as i said in my last post, this coincides very well with the increased interest with playboy and specifically the 2000s girls next door show. the rock of love girls are the edgy parallel to GND down to the young girls pretending to be interested in a washed up old man although rock of love is not as dark as GND (highly recommend the girls next level podcast). think affliction coming back in style, bandanas, pink and black color schemes, chunky highlights, silvery eyeshadow with thick black liner, frosty pink lipstick, hot pink, vintage vs bombshell bras, lingerie as everydaywear, glittery skulls and rhinestone belt buckles. talking about this has me curious if there will be a hip hop equivalent with flavor of love and whether or not people will be interested in reviving 2000s hip hop culture fully.

the poison poppy: the name for this comes from the 1978 movie the wiz where the poison poppies are prostitutes who also run a perfume business lol. this is a direct inspiration of beyonces possible act iii theme, ashwini, black betty, bette davis and tina turner. this is the black female rockstar and embracing blackness in rock and how funk is the base of a lot of that. this will blend with the next one as i think you need the poison poppy and black rockstars to create rico nasty. but for this think grillz, betty page hair, funky afros, lush opulence, crazy custom electric guitars, large heeled boots, fur jackets, super thick black eyeliner and dramatic lip colors. this is one way i could see people taking act iii as the opulence is more reminiscent of old school black rock acts esp tina turner. the poison poppy is reclaiming her time and strength and shes very very angry. but righteous anger. very fierce.

the feline fatale: my personal fav but this is is a blend of say tara chambers and pamela anderson. this rocker is attached to dangerous people and likes the thrill. theres a bit of naivety to this as the style is very ‘i thought i knew what i was getting into but this runs way deep’. so flushed lips with kitten eyes. bare face. natural hair colors but touseled and styled as if wind whipped. the style is a mix of practical and sexy so collared polo shirts, bootcut jeans, riding boots, leather/denim jackets, tank tops etc. this one also aligns with the 2010s revival as well as i could potentially see people start to watch sons of anarchy or be inspired by the vibe of the show especially as biker bf seems to be trickling in in popularity. this is also where i see rico nasty coming in as she embodies the inbetween state of this: being young and maybe naive but having gone through adult issues already, feeling like a girl but wanting to finally be a woman. an outwardly feminine and sexual style, but exhibiting femininity in a way thats not girly girl pink. could see this meshing with the style below and possibly be popular amongst girlbloggers (maybe. i see them leaning towards the final style moreso)

the desert eagle: as people start to really miss 2021 coquette and reaching a midpoint between unreleased lana and NFR i could see the summer being a “ride” summer: wide open roads, cut off jeans, big hair, deserts, mikaela banes leaning over a car in transformers. i could see people rediscovering megans role in that movie as we reach jennifers body fatigue. i could also see ppl maybe reaching for red lipstick again with this. this would be peak 2010s with the budweiser shirts and all. if this is the budweiser shirt then the feline fatale is the jack daniels muscle tee. another homage to biker culture and rock n roll but itll lean less biker and more rock maybe? but could also be the other way around. ive seen people yearn for the ride music video lately and a good amount of ppl wanting the white dress she wore in the video. peak escapism as the world gets worse will lead to people fantasizing about running away and joining a biker gang
