Some flying Archangel for you~~~~
Actually, I shot it in february. I don’t know, why it took me so long to make gifs.
It was stunt rigging workshop: a final day, when we all brought our ideas to try. And I had a costume…
I had not so much time, so no make-up, and no story in these actions, but it still was fun and informative. I hope one day I will make a really nice video with hight quality flying and stuff~~~~
(this guy with me is Kepa - he was master of this workshop)

Uriel’s Charge to Gabriel / Angels on Guard
Man having been placed in Eden, Gabriel is stationed with a heavenly guard to protect him. Uriel, having seen from afar Satan on his way to earth, comes down to put Gabriel more strictly on his guard. The artist has rendered the surroundings of the scene with striking fidelity.
“Meanwhile, Uriel comes before the Archangel Gabriel, at the gate of Eden, and tells him about the shape-changing spirit that he saw from the hilltop. They both suspect that it might be one of the fallen ones. Gabriel promises that if the spirit is in the garden, they will find it by morning. Around this time, Adam and Eve finish their day’s work. They go to their leafy bower, praising God and each other for their blissful life, and after a short prayer, they lie together—making love without sin, because lust had not yet tainted their natures.
Night falls, and Gabriel sends search parties into the Garden. Two of his angels find Satan, disguised as a toad, whispering into the ear of Eve as she sleeps. They pull him before Gabriel, who recognizes him, and demands to know what he is doing in Paradise. Satan at first feigns innocence, as they have no proof that he means harm. But Gabriel knows him to be a liar, and threatens to drag him back to Hell. Enraged by this threat, Satan prepares to fight him. The two square off for a decisive battle, but a sign from Heaven—the appearance in the sky of a pair of golden scales—stops them. Satan recognizes the sign as meaning he could not win, and flies off.”
Pope Leo XIII’s prayer to Saint Michael
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
Saint Michael, pray for us.

In the Tridentine Calendar, May 8 is the feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael, the Archangel.
Consecration Prayer to Saint Michael
Saint Michael the Archangel, invincible Prince of the Angelic hosts and glorious protector of the universal Church, I greet thee and praise thee for that splendor with which God has adorned thee so richly. I thank God for the great graces He hast bestowed upon thee, especially to remain faithful when Lucifer and his followers rebelled, and to battle victoriously for the honor of God and the Divinity of the Son of Man.
Saint Michael, I consecrate to thee my soul and body. I choose thee as my patron and protector and entrust the salvation of my soul to thy care. Be the guardian of my obligation as a child of God and of the Catholic Church as again I renounce Satan, his works and pomps.
Assist me by thy powerful intercession in the fulfillment of these sacred promises, so that imitating thy courage and loyalty to God, and trusting in thy kind help and protection, I may be victorious over the enemies of my soul and be united with God in Heaven forever.
Amen.
Saint Michael, pray for us and protect us.

Archangel Metatron
Also known as Metatetron, Merraton, Metaraon, Mittron.
The meaning of Metatron’s name isn’t clear, since his name doesn’t end in the “el” suffix of all the other archangels (with the exception of Metatron’s twin brother, Sandalphon). “El” stands for “El Elyah,” the Hebrew name of the all-loving God of Abraham—as opposed to the jealous, vengeful God of Moses, who is called Jehovah. So, archangel names describe their function, and then end in “el” to mean “of God.” The term angel itself means “messenger of God.”
Metatron’s unusual name probably stems from his uncommon origins, as one of only two archangels who were once mortal men who walked upon the earth (the other one being Sandalphon, who was the prophet Elijah). There is various speculation among texts and experts that the name Metatron means “he who occupies the throne next to the Divine throne,” or that his name is a derivation of the name Yahweh, the Jewish term for the unspoken sacred name of God. He has also been called “the Angel of the Presence.”
Metatron is the youngest of the archangels, since his creation occurred after the other archangels. The prophet and scribe Enoch, who is said to have “walked with God” (in the book of Genesis), retained his God-given purity during his mortal life. Enoch was also a scholar on heavenly secrets, having received The Book of the Angel Raziel (also known as Sefer Raziel), a textbook about God’s workings penned by Archangel Raziel, and given to Adam, Noah, Enoch, and Solomon. As a result, God escorted Enoch directly to the seventh Heaven—the highest level—to reside and work. Enoch was given wings and transformed into a great archangel named Metatron.
Since Enoch was a skilled and honest scribe upon Earth, he was given a similar job in Heaven: to record everything that happened on i Earth and keep it in the Akashic records (also known as The Book of Life). Enoch is in charge of recording and organizing this material.
Metatron is a fiery, energetic angel who works tirelessly to help Earth’s inhabitants. He acts as an intermediary between Heaven and Earth, since he’s had extensive experience as both a human and an angel. As such, he helps us understand Heaven’s perspective, and to learn how to work with the angelic realm.
Metatron also has a special place in his heart for children, especially those who are spiritually gifted. After the Exodus, Metatron led the children of Israel through the wilderness and into safety. He continues to lead children today, both on Earth and in Heaven. Metatron is very concerned about children who are labeled as having Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and he helps parents, educators, scientists, and health-care professionals find natural alternatives to Ritalin and other psychoactive medications.
Metatron helps newly crossed-over children adjust to Heaven, and helps living children love themselves and be more focused. Metatron also helps children become spiritually aware and to accept and polish their spiritual gifts.
Metatron’s energy is strong and highly focused, like a laser beam. He’s very motivational, and will encourage you to overcome procrastination and to take bold steps forward. He’s also philosophical and can help you understand things like other people’s motivations for action, and why different situations occur.
He says: “My human life gave me the ability to grasp human concepts of life and death, which are abstract concepts to those who’ve always existed in the ethers. I do understand the gripping fear of death that underlies many human emotions. Having crossed that divide, though, I want to underscore At sentiment that you’ve so often heard: that there truly is nothing to fear in coming here. The time is planned according to your soul’s calendar, and Death cannot occur one moment before that time is reached.
‘There is no such thing as a premature or unplanned death, and unpleasantries associated with death are largely of the human imagination. Even those who die violently are spared from heinous suffering mainly due to God’s intervention. Their souls are cast out of their bodies at the time of inevitability, long before any suffering could set in. Their disassociation with the event occurs because they’re already focused upon the realization of that which follows after the physical existence. The fascination they have in experiencing their newfound life, following death, removes all concentration from the suffering that the human seems to undergo at the moment of death. We assure you that all of this comes from the compassion of the Great Creator, who is with us all, always.”
