As the Divine Herald, he is an angel of guidance, prophecies and revelations. He is also the Patron Saint of Messengers; mail carriers, news outlets, radio stations or any outlet that messages can be delivered through, he’s the one that can aid the most. As the angel who will blow the first horn of the final judgment, he is seen to also represent judgment. He is sometimes even seen as an angel of motherhood due to his announcement of the birth of Christ and John the Baptist and from this he is sometimes given the titles of Patron Saint and guardian of children. He represents the spiritual power of God, His ideals and principles of spirituality. As a result, he is seen as an angel of spirituality, dreams, divination and even magick.
He can be invoked for:
Guidance
Faith
Hope
Strength
Spiritual aid
Dreaming/dream interpretation
Theology
Understanding scripture
Birth
Here’s symbols he is associated with:
Element; Water (Spirituality, change, emotions)
Planet; Moon (Spirituality, magick, guidance)
Day of the week; Monday
Colors; White, silver
Animal; White dove (Holy Spirit)
Tarot; House of Cups, The Star, The High Priestess, Temperance, The Moon, Judgment*
Cardinal direction; West
Season; Winter
Other symbols; White lilies, trumpet, banner, feathers
Archangels prefer devotional activities as offerings over material ones, though they will not reject them.
He can help with;
Lucid dreaming
Receiving visions
Developing divination skills and spiritual awareness
Lack of belief
Communication issues
Magick workings
When you feel lost/don’t know how to continue/unsure of how to move forward
His Kabbalistic sigil
His seal from the Heptameron
All in all, Gabriel is a very firm but merciful angel. He can be a bit pushy when you are not doing the right thing, but he is less rough about it than, say, Michael. He has a better understanding of human emotions than most angels and will act a bit more accordingly. When you don’t know where to go in life or have no ideas on how to move on, he is the one that should be contacted. He is also sometimes associated with the divine feminine due to his associations withe the moon and motherhood. He is usually seen as 3rd to God, with Michael or Sandalphon being 2nd.
Some extras about the archangels in general;
Angels mostly see humans like how we see dogs and often have a lesser understanding of human egos. It should be noted that angels have a bit of a reputation of being more difficult to work with due to them expecting a lot of discipline. They will not give you what you want, they will make you work for what you need. If one wishes to work with the archangels, they expect constant self improvement.
bit of a p.s; despite Archangel being the 2nd lowest on the hierarchy, they are the most powerful angels. Archangel is a rank and it means “governing angel” or “ruling angel”, they rule over other parts of the hierarchy (i.e Michael rules over the seraphim, Gabriel rules over the cherubim). Archangels are often called “the great princes”, however, Michael is the only one in the Bible to actually receive that title. The only reason why they are so low on the hierarchy is because they are physically far from God, as they spend their time on Earth helping humanity.
* What each of the tarot cards mean
House of Cups- relates to emotions and matters of the heart. Associated with love, feeling and inner conflict, they ask us to consider what is deeply important to us
The Star- the embodiment of hope and healing brings a message of renewal, optimism, and inspiration. When pulled, remember that the universe is working in your favor, and is encouraging you to have faith in where you are being taken.
The High Priestess- listen to your inner voice and follow your instincts, your mind knows far more than you think. When pulled, stop looking for answers around you and start looking within yourself for the guidance you seek.
Temperance- encourages peace and patience, reminds you to go with the flow of life instead of trying to force a pace and direction. When pulled, it is a message to take things as they come, and remain flexible enough to change with the changes.
The Moon- represents hidden thoughts, feelings, doubts, and fears. When pulled, you may be letting fear overtake your faith in the future. Do not be fooled, you cannot believe everything that you see, hear, or think. Once you bring your feelings to the surface and face them, only then can you rid yourself of worry.
Judgment- your past and future come together. When pulled, reflect on your decisions and actions you have made up until now and make sure that they are bringing you in the direction you want. Remember, your future is not set in stone, and it's never too late to make a change for the better.
thanks for listening to my madman ramblings baiiiii
Someone stop me from writing a MSG fic where Gabe, out of sheer boredom, tries to cook various things in Hell and make the other two taste test, which is a thin disguise for my love of worldbuilding

i have a very vivid thought rn an i need to say it before i explode
v1 taking one of its coins, drilling a lil hole in it and using a random cord it found (or maybe some of its own wires) to turn it into a necklace im jusouuughshbdhdh
Machines are possessive by nature. Fuel. Parts. Information. If something can be taken and owned, then it will be. And it will be guarded jealously.
Or maybe that's just V1. It doesn't care enough to find out. In rare moments of self reflection, it recognizes its own selfishness. Such a thing has no moral weight to it. If it wants something and is strong enough to take it, then it will. And if it's not strong enough, then it will become so. There is no reason, internal or otherwise, that it should not have whatever it wants.
Despite its bottomless greed and vicious possessiveness, V1 doesn't keep things for very long. Fuel is collected and used. Parts are installed and tested, and discarded when something better is found. Information is gathered, analyzed, and deleted. It claims any land it sees as its territory, clears it with appropriately glorious violence, and walks away as soon as it is finished.
It takes everything, and throws it all away.
It has never cared to keep anything.
And then it met Gabriel.
It's never wanted something that could walk away before. It doesn't know how to handle the fact that Gabriel can just leave.
It could kill him, and then he couldn't leave. But it doesn't want Gabriel's corpse. It could break his legs. But it doesn't want a maimed Gabriel.
In the moments after their spars, after it's beaten him and bled him and taken him, it watches.
It watches him put his armor back on, watches him cover the marks it gave him with the armor of Heaven, and feels in ways it never has before.
Machines are possessive by nature. And V1 is furious.
It doesn't know how to correct this wrong.
It likes when there's proof of its claim. When Gabriel calls out its name, loud and unabashed. When its fluid is dripping from him and he doesn't try to cover himself. When the shape of its hands are printed across his skin in blood and bruises.
It likes owning him. It likes when others know it owns him.
(Hell is empty. No one is left to see its claim. It does not care.)
V1 focuses their attacks on his back and belly. On the strip of thigh between skirt and armor. On his neck and the hint of collarbone above his chestpiece. It leaves marks that can't be covered, and it feels better for a time.
But Gabriel heals fast, and it is even angrier than before.
It needs something that can't be covered.
It needs something that won't fade.
It considers branding him, its name burned into his flesh like livestock. But the thought feels wrong. It doesn't want to change its Gabriel, even so superficially. V1 doubts he would let it anyway.
In a moment after their usual violent romp, things are quiet. It sits atop his lap and traces the claw marks on his chest, up to his throat. It is gentle, as gentle as something like it can ever be. It feels wrong. It feels right.
He doesn't stop it. It circles his neck with fingers still dripping his blood. Gentle. So gentle.
It feels his pulse. It feels his breath catch.
It wonders if he knows how much they want to keep him. If he knows they want to snap his neck so he can't leave ever again.
Metal hands fall away. Gabriel breathes again.
It takes him again. Slowly. Softly.
Gentle.
And it stares at the ring of blood around his throat.
There is no such thing as ‘extra wiring’ in a highly efficient killing machine. There is certainly not several inches of it. But the thought of Gabriel wearing anything that came from something else was so infuriating that V1 dismisses the option entirely.
It had considered either of its extra arms. The parts are its own. It had touched him with these hands, had marked him with them. And yet, the thought is just as repulsive. It tossed it away.
V1 does not have any extra wiring. It does not care. It pulls at the cables in its thigh until something comes loose and only distantly notes that it can still walk.
It is a red wire. The choice was not intentional, but it is fitting. V1 stores it away and waits for the right time.
They spar again. With Gabriel pinned on his belly, V1 lowers the nail gun until the barrel is right beside his cheek.
He does not breathe. V1 fires into the ground.
Slowly, with enough purpose that it knows he is watching, it pulls the nail from the stone it is buried in– and the coin it pierced right through.
Leaning over his prone body, arms stretched over his head, V1 pries the coin loose. The nail falls away. The echo of it hitting the ground lasts forever.
The weight of Gabriel's gaze burns. He never looks away.
It feeds the wire through the coin. The pendant dangles from its fingers.
It slips a second hand under his chin and he does not resist as it lifts his head. It ties the wire around his throat, as loose as it can bear. The wire still digs into his skin. If V1 had its way, it would pull until it cut down to his very spine.
He doesn't breathe until it drops his head again.
And when he sits up with its irrefutable claim hanging around his neck, V1’s possessive nature purrs.
He runs his fingers over the trinket with all the reverence of a man reborn.
He whispers ‘thank you,’ and the fury finally abates.
Put these on the top layer above everything, set layer to 'overlay' then adjust opacity. You can put it on whatever opacity you want but usually 30%+ is most effective.
The point is to obstruct the picture so AI can't read your image because AI counts every single pixel in your art
fun fact!: in the book of enoch (some don’t consider it canon) archangel gabriel is given the task of getting rid of the nephilhim and does so by either a) manipulating them or b) straight up mind controlling them into killing each other
Thank you so much for reading and i hope it comes in handy for any of your wingies needs :3
This took me... a While, more than it should've, but is finally here! And maybe i've been slacking a little on the tagging for this blog specifically, but i recommend besides reading all of this, to go check my Guides tag, as i'm missing a few little things here and there that i couldn't for the life of me find a way to explain, and i've already re-done this Way too much for my liking o(-(
But you can also just go around this blog to get some inspiration :o I got a Lot of different wing styles here, and again i gotta go back to tagging (and fix my blog web theme, don't worry about it—) but other than that, you're free to explore this lil blog of mine
Two last things—First, i did all of this for free, i want it to reach as many people as possible (which is why soon-ish i'll translate the entirety of it to spanish and add image descriptions to both versions, i need a break....), but if you liked this enough and would like to leave a lil' tip on my kofi (@/rainbowpinyata), i would appreciate it a lot...
Second, my inbox is always open if you or someone you know is in need of a more in-dept explanation on any of the parts of this, as i had to resume most of the info, or just needs a little bit of advice. I'm gonna explain wings Much more than i already have on the next part, but that... is going to take a bit, so...
Anyways, many thanks to my friends for always being there for me, i don't think i would've gone past the first draft or the many others after that without their encouragement, suggestions and general help with keeping me going. It means everything to me.
Also, click for better quality pls, the pages are pretty big but... this site....
honest to fuck, after the year-long March 2020, y’all can celebrate Halloween whenever the fuck you want. Time has no meaning. It has always been March. it will be March forever.
