Sacred Angel Rituals
We’re all fans of rituals in some form or another. Whether that’s brushing our teeth everyday, taking part in a daily exercise routine or making the bed, us humans gain a sense of structure, comfort, and fulfillment from following simple daily habits. They're small accomplishments that create a sense of order, like a ripple effect of productivity and positivity, which signals a commitment to your well-being.
Beyond the practical benefits of our daily rituals, sacred rituals often carry deeper, symbolic meanings. They can represent our values, aspirations, or a connection to something larger than ourselves. For example, a meditation practice can be a ritual that grounds you in the present moment, offering a well-needed sacred pause in a busy life. Even a simple cup of coffee in the morning can be a ritual that symbolises a transition from rest to action, a moment to gather your thoughts before diving into the day.
I’ve been a fan of angelic rituals for many years. Angelic rituals are a beautiful way to invite divine assistance into your life, to manifest intentions, and deepen your spiritual practice. Whether performed alone or in a group, these rituals create a sacred space where you can connect with angelic beings, align with your highest self, and bring your desires into reality. In this blog post, I thought I might share some info on how to create and perform them both individually (if you wanna give it a go yourself) and as part of a group (if you happen to be a practitioner or holistic therapist).
Why perform angel rituals?
Angelic rituals can serve several purposes. I use them for specific purposes where I can direct my energy toward things such as healing, clarity, abundance or peace. They help me to create a safe space where I can call upon angels for guidance, protection, healing or manifestation. They also help me to celebrate and honour spiritual dates in the calendar like full moons, new moons, solstices, or personal achievements. The beauty of them is that they can be tailored to my own personal needs or shared with others to amplify their power and create a sense of community.
Creating Your Own Angelic Rituals
Performing an angelic ritual on your own is a deeply personal experience that allows you to focus solely on your intentions and connection with the angelic realm. Here's a little process for how you can create a meaningful angel ritual.
1. Clarify Your Intention
- Identify Your Goal: Determine what you want to achieve, such as healing, protection, releasing negativity, or inviting abundance.
- Be Specific: Clearly state your intention to the angels. For example, if seeking healing, specify the area of life or particular emotional or physical healing needed.
2. Choose The Angels You Want To Work With
- Research and Connect: Identify the angels or archangels associated with your intention:- --
- Archangel Raphael for healing
- Archangel Michael for protection
- Archangel Gabriel for communication and clarity
- Archangel Chamuel for love and relationships
- Invocation: Prepare a prayer or invocation to call upon these angels at the beginning of your ritual.
3. Create A Sacred Space
- Location: Choose a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed, such as a dedicated room, an altar, or an outdoor setting.
- Cleanse: Purify the space with sage, incense, or sound to remove any negative or stagnant energy.
- Set Up: Arrange your space with items that resonate with angelic energy, like candles, crystals, angel statues, or fresh flowers.
4. Select Your Ritual Tools
- Candles: Use candles to represent the light and energy of the angels. White or specific colored candles (e.g., green for Raphael) can be used.
- Crystals: Choose crystals that align with your intention (e.g., rose quartz for love, amethyst for spiritual connection). Place them on your altar or hold them during the ritual.
- Symbols and Scents: Incorporate symbols like feathers, angel cards, or sacred geometry. Use scents like frankincense, sandalwood (my favourite!), or lavender to elevate the vibration of your space.
5. Structure The Ritual
- Opening Invocation: Start with grounding, like deep breathing or meditation. Call upon the angels you wish to work with and state your intention clearly.
- Main Ritual Activity: This could involve visualisation, affirmations, writing, movement, or symbolic acts like lighting a candle for illumination.
- Closing Prayer: Close the ritual by thanking the angels for their presence and guidance, offering a prayer of gratitude, or sitting in quiet reflection.
6. Seal & Release The Energy
- Seal the Ritual: Visualise the angels’ light surrounding and protecting you.
- Release: Trust that the angels are working on your behalf. Blow out a candle, ring a bell, or say “So it is” to release your intention to the universe.
7. Follow Up & Reflection
- Integration: Take time after the ritual to meditate or journal about any feelings, messages, or insights you received.
- Signs and Synchronicities: Stay open to signs and confirmations of angelic presence in the days following the ritual.
- Repeat: Some rituals may require repetition, especially if they are focused on ongoing support, like healing or protection.

Example Group Ritual: Manifesting Abundance with Archangel Ariel
How about trying the following group ritual with a group of spiritually minded friends to get you started… This group ritual is designed to collectively manifest abundance—whether financial, emotional, or spiritual—by invoking the energy and guidance of Archangel Ariel, known as the angel of nature, prosperity, and abundance.
Purpose and Intention
- Purpose: To bring together a group of individuals to focus on attracting abundance into their lives, whether it be wealth, love, opportunities, or spiritual growth.
- Intention: Each participant will set a personal intention for abundance while also contributing to a collective group intention for prosperity and growth.
Preparation
1. Timing: Choose a date that aligns with the theme of abundance, such as during a full moon, a new moon (for new beginnings), or a significant date in the group’s spiritual calendar.
2. Location: Arrange the ritual in a quiet, serene space where participants can sit comfortably in a circle. If possible, do it outdoors in nature to align with Archangel Ariel's energy.
3. Materials Needed:
- Green and gold candles (symbolising growth and prosperity)
- Citrine and pyrite crystals (known for attracting wealth and abundance)
- A bowl of water with flower petals (to represent the flow of abundance)
- Sage or incense for cleansing
- Pen and paper for each participant
- A central altar with symbols of abundance, such as coins, fruits, or plants
4. Participant Contributions: Ask each participant to bring a small item that symbolises abundance for them (e.g., a coin, a piece of jewelry, a written affirmation), which will be placed on the altar during the ritual.
Ritual Structure
1. Opening the Sacred Space
- Cleansing: Begin by cleansing the space with sage or incense, inviting participants to close their eyes and take deep breaths, releasing any tension or negative energy.
- Invocation: The facilitator leads a short invocation to call upon Archangel Ariel. For example:
“Archangel Ariel, we call upon your presence to join us in this sacred space. Guide us with your energy of abundance and prosperity. Help us to open our hearts and minds to the flow of blessings in our lives. May this ritual bring us closer to our highest good, in harmony with the universe.”
- Grounding: Invite everyone to take a few moments to ground themselves by visualising roots extending from their feet into the earth, connecting with the energy of the earth.
2. Setting Individual and Group Intentions
- Personal Intentions: Distribute the pens and papers. Ask each participant to write down their personal intention for abundance. Encourage them to be specific and to visualise the feeling of abundance as they write.
- Group Intention: Once everyone has written their intention, invite each person to briefly share what they’ve written, if they feel comfortable. This helps build a sense of collective purpose.
- Place on the Altar: After sharing, participants place their written intentions and their symbolic item on the central altar.
3. Main Ritual Activity
- Lighting Candles: Light the green and gold candles on the altar, symbolising the energy of growth and prosperity. As the facilitator lights each candle, say:
“As we light these candles, we ignite the energy of abundance in our lives and in this space. May the light guide us to our highest potential and the fulfillment of our desires.”
- Meditation and Visualisation: Guide the group through a meditation focused on manifesting abundance. Instruct them to visualise their intentions coming to fruition, supported by the loving energy of Archangel Ariel. Encourage them to feel the joy and gratitude of receiving what they desire.
- Group Chanting: Lead the group in a chant or affirmation, such as:
“I am open to the flow of abundance. I attract prosperity and blessings into my life.”
Repeat this chant together, gradually increasing in intensity and energy.
4. Symbolic Release and Sealing the Ritual
- Water Offering: Pass the bowl of water with flower petals around the circle. As each participant holds the bowl, they silently offer their intention into the water, imagining it being carried out into the world by the flow of the universe.
- Gratitude Circle: After the water offering, gather the group in a circle and have each person express one thing they are grateful for. This shifts the energy towards appreciation, further aligning with the vibration of abundance.
- Sealing the Energy: The facilitator can close the ritual by sealing the energy with a final prayer or blessing:
“We thank Archangel Ariel and all the spiritual beings who have joined us today. May the intentions set here be carried forth with love and light. We seal this ritual with gratitude, trust, and openness to the blessings of abundance."
5. Closing and Integration
- Extinguish Candles: Extinguish the candles, thanking the flames for their light and energy.
- Sharing and Reflection: Invite participants to share their experiences or insights from the ritual. This can be a powerful moment of connection and support.
- Final Grounding: End with a short grounding exercise, encouraging participants to visualize themselves rooted in the earth, with the energy of abundance flowing through them.
6. Socialising and Gratitude
- Social Time: Allow time for participants to socialise, share food, or just relax together. This helps to reinforce the communal bond created during the ritual.
- Follow-Up: Consider organising a follow-up gathering or online group to check in on how everyone’s intentions are manifesting, continuing the support and energy of the ritual.
Whether performed alone or in a group, sacred angel rituals offer a powerful way to connect with higher energies, set intentions, and manifest your desires. By following the steps outlined above, you can create personalised rituals that resonate with your spiritual journey or foster a deeper sense of community and collective purpose. Embrace the beauty of angelic rituals, have fun and allow them to guide you toward your highest good.
