Angelica: For strength, protection and inspiration n a crisis

Angelica has a powerful association with spiritual guidance.  It blooms on May 8^th, the day of Archangel Michael and its strong protective qualities are show in its large umbrella-like flower clusters atop a thick, ridged stem with purple tinges at its base.    Its clusters of roots provide a sound base for grounding and supporting in any crisis enabling it to survive well in a range of environmental conditions, even frost.

The plant additionally has connections with Angel Gabriel who disclosed the plant’s healing qualities to humankind during a pandemic.   Gabriel is the angel of communication, so the essence helps if you feel lost about what you want to pursue in life, or its purpose.  Formulate and ask questions you would like answers to and you will receive love, wisdom and guidance.  These sometimes come through dreams – sleep being a time when you are most receptive to spiritual connestion.  But you will also know Gabriel is with you if you see coppery white orbs in your peripheral vision, sense a gentle, warm, and blissful energy after taking the essence or begin seeing frequent angelic references or symbolism around you. Use these opportunities to ask for help and solutions to unresolved issues.
