March 18 is the Feast day of the Gabriel the Archangel in the old calendar. Currently, all the angels are observed on Michaelmass which is now known as the Feast of All Angels, but original the archangels had their own separate feast days.
Gabriel is my favorite angel, who I often feel is overlooked and underappreciated. I felt drawn to pray to them and make devotion many years ago, which prompted my research into his feast days (The Orthodox church has several feast days for them on different days, the Ethiopian church also has a separate feast day) but also various prayers address to them.
the name Gabriel means “Strength of God” and some prayers that address Gabriel call upon their divine strength for help and support. They are also identified as the Holy Messenger, especially in Catholic and Orthodox Christianity, as they is identified as the archangel who appears before St Joseph, Virgin Mary, and others announcing the conception of the Christ Child. In Islam, They are also a messenger, who gave the Koran to Mohammed. In certain esoteric practices Gabriel is also the messenger who inspired other works, most famous they taught the art of Geomancy to Idris, a prophet who is also identified with Hermes Trimestigus.
If you feel so inclined, make a prayer, light a candle to Archangel Gabriel today, and ask for their strength and to receive divine messages of guidance. Gabriel’s intercessions can bring many blessings.
Peace is something that it seems many people in this day and age desire, but seem to lack. Much of the underlying causes for that are cultural and social with current global, national and local conditions taking away from that peace around us. While addressing the inequalities that are the cause for this loss of peace, there is another peace you can possess, which with work and dedication, can be enduring, and which no one can steal from you. Of course, what I’m talking about is Inner Peace.
There are many paths to that Inner peace. It could also be called by other names, synonyms if you will. Balance. Equanimity. Fullness. Self-Realization. This peace can radically change any situation, even one in which battle and conflict is going to be present and occur. Being at peace in chaos, instead of afraid, confused, anxious, can often make all the difference.
If you want to promote peace in your life, a simple rite to achieve that is to take a blue or white candle. You should fix the candle with peace oil. Set it firm into a candle holder, light the candle, and look at the flame for a minute. Close your eyes, and mentally project a light blue light surrounding, permeating and filling you and your environment. Hold this image and let your body relax. Take a deep breath. Release the tension in your shoulders and neck. Take another deep breath. Keep working down through your chest, back and stomach, of relaxing and releasing stress and tension. Do your hips, thighs, knees, calves, shins and feet. Release all the stress you can. Repeat this process until you feel deeply and profoundly at ease. If you feel tired or exhausted, that often happens when you release all that stress. If you can, go to sleep or take a nap. If you feel unsafe with your candle, you can extinguish it, but you can also leave it lit, to burn out completely on it’s own when it is finished. If you used a very big candle. You can use it multiple times, snuffing the flame each time and using it again, until the candle is consumed.
The 15th of May is the date for the Roman Festival of in honor of Mercury or Mercurius, whom they also identified as the Greek Hermes. The Greeks themselves would relate their Hermes to the Egyptian Thoth and Anubis as well, so the Mediterranean was basically filled with people placing their gods all over the place. A pretty swinging place.
I make a point of honoring Hermes in a multitude of his forms, and today being the festival of one of them, I just thought I would share. To this, I also give you my version of the Orphic hymn to Hermes.
Hermes, draw near, and heed my prayer,
messenger of Zeus, and divine son of Maia;
Master of Competitions, Lord of mankind,
all-powerful heart, joyful, guide and messenger,
possessing many skills, Slayer of Argus:
bearing winged sandals, aide of humanity, and teacher of language:
You rejoice in the gymnasium and in clever deceit:
ever changing, Able to understand all things, conductor of trade,
Whose skills help to lessen our problems,
Bearing the caduceus, that wand which can bring perfect peace,
Joyous, bestower of good fortune, skilled in persuasion
You aid us in our labors, and bring to us our necessities,
Having a sharp and deft tongue, worthy of veneration,
Bestow upon us good fortune and the fulfillment of necessities
Through favorable speech and enduring memory
