Although Archangel Michael has been very prominent in private sessions I have had with clients recently, he hasn’t presented himself for this newsletter for a while until today! Now he is making up for lost time as two cards have come forward, the first literally jumping out of the deck as I shuffled. The cards are, of course, from The Archangel Michael Sword of Light Oracle Deck created by Radleigh Valentine. As you may remember, this deck brings us messages exclusively from Archangel Michael who battles “against fear, worry and the illusions of lack and separation from the Divine.” He has two main assignments as an Archangel. The first is to help us feel safe by using his sword of light to assist us in releasing anything and everything that no longer serves us. He also is by our side to assist us in discovering our true, life purpose. He provides clarity and help us live according to our own truth. All we need to do is ask for his guidance and then listen and watch for signs. He also wants us to know how much we are truly loved by our Guardian Angels, the Archangels, and the Divine. He states that if we knew the depth of that love, we would never question our value, our beauty, or our perfection as children of the Divine. With this in mind, the cards today are a beautiful affirmation and continuation of last week’s newsletter messages in “What is Your Superpower?” The cards today are #18 Let It Go and #38 Yes, You Are Correct!
My Messages:
Let It Go
As I pulled the first card, “Let It Go” I had to laugh out loud. I had just reread my newsletter
from last week and the synchronicity of today’s card with last week’s messages are so affirming. I laughed because Spirit never ceases to amaze me at giving us such relevant timely information and Archangel Michael is the most straightforward of all. As the creator of this card deck often says, “You just can’t make this stuff up!” We talked last week about many of us “turning the corner” in redefining who we are as the planet continues to shift into the Divine Feminine. I shared my own experience with shifting from my long held self perceptions to something new. Archangel Michael is telling us very clearly that it is time. It is time to let go of all those things that are holding us back in our spiritual growth. All those things may include deeply rooted but now irrelevant belief systems, long held ways of “doing things”, and integral pieces of our current identity.
Archangel Michael is saying, “This situation no longer serves you.” So, whatever is bringing you stress, anxiety, pain, sorrow, guilt, shame, anger, discomfort, or any other low vibrational feeling, it is time to let it go, to get out of that situation. As we know, any lower vibrational energy will simply attract more of the same. So, if you are feeling stuck in unhappy or confusing circumstances, it is time for a change. Whatever is occurring in your life right now that is not positive and is not bringing you joy, it is time to let it go.
You have the power to change the situation. Letting it go can be an actual physical “walking away” from a situation, it can be simply saying “no” to something, or it can be doing the work to release long held core beliefs or habits that are no longer in your best interest. It is time to remove the blocks to seeing your own value and perfection as the angels see you. It is time for you to feel the love in your heart for yourself grow. Does this apply to anything in your life right now? (If you would like more tips on how to let go, Spirit brought in messages about this in the Ripple Effect Newsletter – Let It Go in Dec of 2022. The messages and methods are still relevant today.)
Support From the Divine Feminine
The image on the card is of a female version of Archangel Michael. As you know, angels do not have a gender or static physical appearance. They appear to us as we wish to see them or in a way that has meaning for us. It is interesting then, that the figure is female as we have been talking about the rising Divine Feminine energy on the planet. This is reassuring that this energy will support us in releasing what no longer serves us so we can move forward. When we remember that the Divine Feminine is all about being heart-centred, it is so important to start by being kind, gentle, loving, and compassionate first with ourselves. As we move into trusting our intuition and inner wisdom even more, we can reflect on the parts of our lives, our history, and our story of who we are that no longer serve in our best interest. We can remove the blocks to self worth and self love that are rooted in these things. We can move away from some of that masculine energy “warrior within” to understanding past traumas and accepting the lessons they have brought us. All of these qualities of the feminine energy will support us in our “turning the corner” into a new identity, with forgiveness being the final critical piece of the “letting go.” Do you see these qualities becoming more prominent in your life?
As we release the things that no longer need to be part of our lives, we come into balance between the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. While letting go of the parts of the Divine Masculine energy that has dominated our lives for so long but no longer serves us, we will still maintain the helpful energies like structure, logic, leadership, assertiveness, and confidence. As we come into balance between both energies that are part of us, we can move forward collaborating with the Divine Feminine to co-create our future. So, as Archangel Michael states on the card, ask for his assistance when needed to “sever your energetic connections to the past so you can embrace the future.” As he shows us with the butterfly in the image, once we let go of the past and those things that no longer serve us, we will transform like the butterfly into the beautiful beings we are meant to be. What stage of the transformation are you at?
This is card number 18. Number one is the angel number that speaks to new beginnings and manifestation. It reminds us to keep our thoughts positive and focus on the new life we want to create. Number eight is the angel number of prosperity and abundance. As we let go of the old, we make space for the new abundance to come into our lives. Keeping our thoughts on the joy of what we want to crate will support the abundant manifestation. When you add the two numbers, we get number nine which is the angel number telling us that the time is right to pursue our passion and life purpose. It is time for us to “turn the corner” on our spiritual path perhaps into a life of service to others.
Trust Your Intuition
Our second card, Yes, You Are Correct! is confirmation that you are on the right path.
Whatever changes you are making in your life right now, whatever you are letting go of, you are correct in doing so. Archangel Michael is whispering reassurance that even if you hit a few bumps along the way know that you are heading in the right direction. If you are struggling with those bumps reach out to him to ask for assistance. He wants to remind us that one of his passions is helping you realize your life purpose.
This card is also telling us that “You have listened to your inner guidance and made a wise choice. Keep moving forward!” It is encouraging us to tune into our intuition and spiritual team – angels, guides, ascended masters, passed loved ones, etc. – for guidance into this new you. If you haven’t been aware or noticed any signs from Spirit, Archangel Michael is reassuring you that they are there. You just need to pause and allow the messages to come in. Using your intuition and picking up on signs from Spirit are also supported by the Divine Feminine. Trust your intuitive thoughts as they will not steer you in the wrong direction.
When you make decisions based on your intuition you will move forward on your spiritual path. Just as the gold colour in the picture suggests, you will be receiving great epiphanies to assist with your decision making. Gold is also the colour for the solar plexus chakra which is our power centre. Archangel Michael supports you in stepping into your power and exercising your free will to make decisions that are right for you and your journey. Those decisions are yours alone to make and will give you reason to celebrate just like the figure in the image.
This is card #38. Angel number three tells us that we are receiving gentle guidance and support from our spiritual team. The angel number eight on this card is a repeated message about abundance and prosperity. When we add the two numbers together, we get eleven. The double one’s are a repeated message about new beginnings and manifestation. Lastly, when we add the two one’s together the sum is two. Angel number two points to the power of faith and tells us “Don’t stop believing,” to keep our thoughts positive, reach out for help, and know that everything will be OK.
Guidebook Messages (channeled from Archangel Michael)
“#18 Let It Go
Frequently the activities you humans engage in are focused on seeking freedom. You want to be released from old ideas, expectations, fears, worries, dramas, stories you tell yourself, the past, and (more often than you can imagine) other people. Sometimes what you want is physical freedom, but usually it’s emotional, mental, or spiritual freedom that you are asking for.
The tricky part is getting people to participate in their own release. You might be shocked by how many souls are afraid, deep down, of freedom. I can use my sword of light to sever the energetic connections to what makes you unhappy, but your free will gives you the right to not let go. Metaphorically, I can unlock the prison, but if you refuse to leave the cell, then there’s nothing I can do.
I want you to be free. You may believe that you are even desperate to be free. But there’s something you are holding on to: is it a memory? An idea or story? A person? Ask yourself if you have given the past power over your happiness in the present because you are afraid you will never be that happy in the future. If so, it’s time to dismiss that false notion. Have courage that you can stand in your own power and live in the now.
You can ask me to sever the energetic connections that are holding you back a million times, and I will never tire of doing it. I will do it over and over, with joy. But we’ll both be even more joyful if you make the choice to really, finally, actually let go.
#38 Yes! You Are Correct!
Your inner guidance has led you in the right direction. Either you have made the right choice, or you know in your heart what the right choice should be. Honour and respect that inner guidance by acting on it, if you haven’t already, right now!
Others around you might have different opinions from yours or trying to change your mind. They may have the best of intentions, or feel that they are protecting you, but they’re incorrect. Thank them with love but continue to follow the path you are on.
I am here to encourage you to trust yourself and your own knowing. Call upon me when your courage fails you and I will help strengthen your resolve and bolster your faith that you are being divinely guided.”
Turning the Corner
Together, these two cards give us amazing support for the next leg of our journey as we
create our newly evolved identity advancing along our spiritual path. Archangel Michael is standing by to assist us in letting go to make room for the new and to reassure us that as we listen to our intuition, it will keep us on the right spiritual path as we “turn the corner.” We are becoming more energetically balanced and starting to see our value and how amazing we truly are. Where are you along this path?
I would love to hear your feedback. If you find that you are wanting help in letting go or tuning into your intuition, I am offering individual intuitive counselling and angel card readings online or in person (in Calgary).
Sending love and light,
Marilyn
