An excerpt from The Angel Experiment by Corin Grillo
Throughout human history, invisible benevolent beings known by many names have been written about in sacred texts and revered as messengers of the divine that aid humanity. Several classes of angels have been described over the millennia, and we’ll focus on the nine orders of angelic beings described in Judeo- Christian texts: the Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, archangels, and angels. Think of these nine orders as large teams of angels that execute unique duties within the universe. Our main focus during these 21 days will be on the archangels.
I didn’t learn about angels through reading about them — I learned about them mostly through my own experience — but there is some value in having a basic understanding of the roles that the angels and archangels have historically played in the lives of humans. So, in this chapter, I will give you a brief overview of the archangels and a few of the other orders of angels to give you some of the common collective thoughts about these spiritual heavies.
Different sources give conflicting accounts of exactly how many angels and archangels there are. In any case, for this book, 12 archangels, plus the Seraphim, Cherubim, Virtues, and Principalities, came forward to participate in this 21-day adventure with you. These angels will be our focus.
The archangels are known as the big cheeses of the orders of the lesser angels (angels occupying a position closer to the earthly realm). They are the boss men and women of the lower angelic realm. Each works with legions of angels beneath them. You might think of archangels as vice presidents of the universe that oversee their own unique, specialized departments.
Archangels often encompass both male and female qualities, and they may appear as different genders at different times. What is true for all the archangels is that they embody and vibrate the unconditional love of Source. Working with the archangels is a profound tool to raise your vibration, increase your joy, peace, and happiness, and improve your health.
The information I have provide here is not meant to be the ultimate law about the archangels; consider it to be a light introduction to the hosts of this adventure. These are the angels that came forward, one by one, to bring you healing gifts and angel attunements.
Beyond what I have written here about the archangels and the others, remember that what is most important is that you have your own experiences with these powerful and supportive beings. Developing your own unique relationship with the angels and archangels is the highest form of knowledge, so make sure to lean heavily on the intuitive information that you receive during your journey, and less on the descriptions given by others.
The following angels will be coming forward to work with you during this miraculous angel experience. I hope you’ll enjoy getting more acquainted with these divine beings during the days to come.
Archangel Ariel: “Lion of God”
Archangel Ariel has the duty of protecting and healing nature and wild animals. She can inspire you with her lionlike qualities, which include fierceness, strength, and passion. She also governs elemental beings such as fairies and nature spirits and can help deepen your relationship with both the physical and mystical aspects of nature. She is highly magical and can help give your manifesting power a big boost. Call on her to connect you to the healing power of the earth and to help you manifest a new job, a new home, or abundance.

transmute emotional suffering into a deep calm and peace through quieting and balancing the voice of the human ego.
