11 Angel Muses to Inspire and Ignite Your Writing and Creativity

Spinning Your Gold Blog: Words that Open Hearts and Inspire Actions

An old traditional saying believes, "An angel guides every act of creation."

The word inspiration comes from the Latin and means, “filled with spirit.” Inspiration goes beyond imagination as a “divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation.” 

Creation fires up your life with new ideas which then translate into forms.

Do you believe that creativity comes from the spirit? Whatever you believe or don’t believe, consider expanding and opening up your thinking that Divine Downloads can more easily flow by connecting with angels as muses.

You can view angels as abstract energies or embodied in physical representations. Choose whatever works best to inspire and ignite your creativity and writing-- especially if you feel blocked or like you’re swimming in pea soup with open eyes!

Since 2011 after hosting and designing two successful angel telesummits, my relationships with angels continues to expand and bless me in countless ways. It’s comforting and grounding that my first actions each morning include calling upon them --especially Archangel Gabriel--to start my Divine Dialogue Writing Practice.

Achangel Adnachiel, Angel of November and ruler of the Zodiacal sign of Sagittarius

According to the Guardian Angel Guide, “Guardian Angel Adnachiel is the angel of wisdom and power…He brings you spiritual wisdom through sacred knowledge. He fills you with thirst for knowledge. Adnachiel inspires you to share your wisdom. Because your wisdom will inspire many people…”

Your Guardian Angel
Like me, did you have a Gaurdian Angel picture in your bedroom growing up?

This angelic relationship may be your earliest muse. Perhaps your Guardian Angel prayers included help with sleeping, a test, project, or even a relationship while growing up—and even now. What’s the name of your Guardian Angel? If you don’t know, consider meditation to ask for her/his name to come to you. 
Knowing your Guardian Angel's name makes the relationship all the more personal and powerful.

Your Three Birth Angels-According to some angelologists and also in the Talmudic tradition, it is believed that you are born from Divinity; you arrive in your earth suit with three angelic pieces: Your Birth and Heart Angels (based on your birth date) and your Intellect Angel, based on the time you arrived.

According to A Dictionary of Angels, these are the angels of the week:

Monday-Archangel Gabriel, “God is my Strength”
Use citrine and copper to connect with his/her energies. Considered the muse for writers, authors, poets, speakers, and all messengers, Archangel Gabriel is found in several religious texts including the Christian’s Old Testament, the Muslim’s Koran, and the Jewish Talmud.

Tuesday-Archangel Camael, “He Who Sees God” 
His name personifies Divine justice, strength, courage, and war in Christian and Jewish mythology and angelology. Archangel Camael often appears in the guise of a leopard.  

Wednesday-Archangel Rafael, “God’s Master Physician” or “Whom God Heals” 
Use emerald or malachite to connect with his healing energy. In Hebrew, the word "rophe" means to "to heal." According to Beliefnet, Archangel Rafael "aids in restoring and maintaining harmony and peace.  He is also the patron of travelers...and clears away fears and stressors that may be adversely affecting your health..."

Thursday-Archangel Zadkiel, “Righteousness of God” 
Use lapis lazuli to connect with his energy. Zadkiel is also called the Patron Angel of all who forgives.  Rabbinical tradition considers him to be the angel of mercy.

Friday-Archangel Haniel, “Glory of God”
Use moonstone to connect with her energy. Susan Gregg of Angels on Your Shoulders writes that she can help you "make new friends; create an outrageous love life; enhance any artistic eneavors, heighten your intuition, enliven your healing rituals (especially at new and full moon times) and; bring balance into all areas of your life."

Saturday-Archangel Tzaphiel, “Knowledge of God” 

Wear blue to connect with her energy. "She is often depicted holding a golden chalice which symbolizes the cup of knowledge and is known as the angel of compassion and understanding. This archangel also helps people learn how to love others with the unconditional love God has for them, resolve conflicts,  forgive, and develop compassion that motivates people to serve others in need,” according to Whitney Hopler.

Sunday-Archangel Michael, “He Who is Like God”

Use sugilite to connect with his energy. Michael is considered to be "the Prince of the Archangels and of the Angelic Hosts, the Defender of the Faith, the Angel of Deliverance. He is also the sponsor of the police departments an law enforcement agencies around the world. Archangel Michael has figured as the greatest and most revered of angels in many scriptures and spiritual traditions. In Muslim lore, he is the angel of nature who provides both food and knowledge to man." -The Summit Lighthouse

As an author, book startup and messenger mentor, I can't imagine writing or creating without the archangels and angels as part of my Team of Muses. 

I invite you to learn more about them with these four resources:

* Pronounce the names of the archangels and angels

* Birth Angel Intuitive Session(s)

Spinning Your Gold: Words that Open Hearts and Inspire Actions

“One in every four Americans is writing a book.” 

-Reid Tracy, President & CEO, Hay House

Once you get over the sticker shock of this number, might you be one of those writers or wannabe writers? I was shocked when Tracy shared this statistic during a Transformative Author’s Summit that I attended. 

Hearing this did two things:

* Depressed me because I thought, “Who am I to think I could write and be published?”

* Depressed me even more as I wondered, “What could I possibly write about that’s not already being written?”

Have you ever entertained these similar thoughts?

Perhaps you’re also like me at the time with piles of paper consisting of outlines; jottings; napkins with inspirational notes and; even some actual copy of the book manuscript.

Four years passed after that summit with the annual New Year’s intention that this would be the year to write and publish my solo book. with each year’s passing, I felt more and more pregnant, ready to explode with the messages that sought expression!

Source always listens and delivers your heart of hearts’ desires--though perhaps not in the way you want.

Rewind to 2016

Over a year, invitations steadily arrived to participate in a six collaborative books! Not questioning Source’s plan to become a published author, I said “yes” to every invitation and along the way, brought two dozen author wannabe’s with me for this writing adventure. 

Book launch days became like my birthday, Christmas morning, and New Years rolled together in a joyance that remains forever in my heart. Gratefully, five of the six books reached #1 Amazon international rankings in many women’s spiritual and empowerment categories. 

In the publishing world, this is a miracle! 

Why? 

Goodreads states that roughly 5,000 new titles are launched on Amazon daily.

Bryna Rene Haynes happened. This year, "my editor" of two books,  stepped out to put on her big girl teaching panties. She offered an online class to help me and others write their solo books.

Ready to Write Your Epitaph on All Souls’ Day?

Spinning Your Gold: Words that Open Hearts and Inspire Actions

"Wit is the epitaph of an emotion." – Frederich Nietzsche

As writers, authors, and creatives, this may be one of your toughest assignments to embrace: Plan Your Epitaph Day. It also coincides with All Souls' Day or "Day of the Dead."

According to Google Dictionary, "This is a phrase or statement written in memory of a person who has died, especially as an inscription on a tombstone." It can also be a short poem that’s serious, witty, or humorous!

What one or two lines would you want on your epitaph? 

My dad, an Air Force pilot and veteran, left his earthly flight suit on October 4,  2003. His burial took place at the National Bay Pines Veterans Cemetery in St. Petersburg, FL. For his gravestone, they allowed for only five words besides his name and dates of birth and death. Yes, just five words for 75 years of life and 30 years of patriotic service. 

In a Divine Download, his epitaph came to my mom; she recalled what my brother at age three used to say when people asked, "What does your daddy do?" He always answered, "Zoom in the sky!"

While this day on the surface might seem morbid, doesn't it make more sense for YOU to be the author of this final piece of writing?

Decades ago while feeling forever young and immortal, my "final day" seemed too far away to give it any thought. The reality now whispers and reminds me every day that I am in the "autumn" of my life at 64 years young.

Perhaps you will join me for this challenging writing assignment and follow these suggestions on how to write an epitaph:

World National Holidays reports on "The Origin of "Plan Your Epitaph Day": We believe Lance Hardie is the creator of Plan Your Epitaph Day. He is the author of How to Write Your Own Epitaph -- and Live Long Enough to Enjoy. (I was unsuccessful in finding the book's link.)…There is also a lot of reference to this day that is celebrated on April 6."

So, if you "need a little nudge to plan your epitaph, let today be the day."
