The Archangels

     These have many names as well but are most commonly known as:

Raphael      Michael      Gabriel      Ariel      

     Many know these names as planetary deities, others as the angels of God, and then there are some that know of them as the guardians of the four quarters. With the addition of Arch in their title it elevates them in belief to be more powerful than an angel and they are supposed to have free will as well.

    With many more associations and with many visual imagery I have chosen to list the following information as a combination from many paths. If you know of some information that you feel should be here please send it in. Thank you.
