Blueguardian Posted March 23, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hello, I've been wondering for a while now, what is the Symbol of St Michael the archangel? Ive been looking on the internet and I've found two images. 1. Image 1 and 2.Image 2 Why is it so confusing? Well for the second symbol Iv'e had some very random websites claim things like Archangel Michael -- Guardian of the South and Element of Fire. Chief of the Archangels, Angel of Justice, Strength and Protection and for the first one I've read some websites that have said its the sun and it has to do with the planet that he is paired up with etc. So do one or both of these images have any truth to them or are they just random symbols? And if neither of these are right what is the correct symbol?

They symbol and sigil are two different things entirely. http://www.spiralnature.com/magick/squaresigilseal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueguardian Posted March 24, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hello, and thank you to everyone, this really has been bugging me for a while and now I can relax knowing that the second symbol is a sigil and the first is more symbolizing Michael and the Sun, I like learning about different symbols that are used. I'll try to work the first symbol into a new avatar I'm working on. Cheers, and thanks again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CausticGnostic Posted March 25, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Whether symbol or sigil, they're both entirely arbitrary (that is, are made up and could be otherwise), and neither has any magical or supernatural efficacy. The supposed "angelic script" is not a script, because you can't write anything with it. It doesn't constitute a sign system for a language. But even if it were a script, it could be otherwise. Pick your own symbol/sigil/sign for whoever or whatever you wish. It means only what you think it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CausticGnostic Posted April 2, 2009 #13 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I still don't see why an angel would need a script? As spiritual beings, they're supposedly telepathic, right? Signs, symbols, emblems, and scripts are MAN-made; therefore, they're contingent creations, meaning they could be otherwise and can be defined as meaning whatever you please.

I believe the theory is that 'god' gave us the symbos/sigils/signants we needed to call upon and sometimes harness/control those entities (energies) that we define as divine. When in fact (At least in my opinion) our simply accepting the fact that we are all God(desss)es ourselves (Or at least all a small piece of God) We learn to harness those energies without using physical symbols. Still to our simple minds (and lower selves) we hold onto physical things (symbols). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindyh Posted April 29, 2010 #15 Share Posted April 29, 2010 What you have here are two different sources, neither of them true angelic script. The fisrt is alchemical symbols for angels and their resonances and the second appears to be enochian, which is closer, from my understanding to true angelic script, but whose provanance is murker as the sources (Enochian fallen angels and Edward Kelly) are dark and suspicious. Also there are several different symbols for Angels in angelic script - a phonetic spelling of the name and sigel and different people do different interprataions. All of this theoretically comes out of a channel - a human host who is flawed. Also, one must assume that angelic script, like angels themselves are a very complicated business. Angels have myriad different personal reflections in this world. They can appear as humans or in visages so terrible that they set humans in their presence to flames. God is unknowable, beyond comprehension, wouldn't also be his messengers? This is the source ofthe confusion. I hope this helps.

No, Nerdherder was absolutely correct on this one. The first merely shows astrological symbols for the planets. Angels were associated with the planets and the attributes they embodied. The one by Michael stands for the sun or gold. In and of itself, that symbol would not indicate an angel. The second sigil is derived from a planetary square or the Rosy Cross and is based on the hebrew letters in a name and their value in gematria. It is not related to Enochian. The general method is described well here: http://www.angelfire.com/journal/cathbodua/Sigils/Sigils.html It doesn't really matter which you use. as long as it has meaning to you; a symbol's power is purely psychological.

PETER GORE SEER Posted May 4, 2010 #17 Share Posted May 4, 2010 My symbol is the pyramid, I draw strength from it how I do not know.My symbol is a blue hart shaped shield I have a double edged sword.

billbo54520 Posted July 26, 2013 #19 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I am looking for the ancient symbol for Saint Michael that predates the Church, and is most likely found in the oldest Jewish traditions. Can anyone help? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
