Angels and the Colour Purple

I have always loved the colour Purple, in all it shades and forms - many spiritual people do.

Purple is often associated with nobility and royalty and also the highest spiritual status. This was because originally the colour was made from pigment taken from the secretions of a particular snail, and so only the rich and privileged could afford it. This is the reason on particular hue (Tyrian purple) was known as 'Imperial Purple'.


In terms of auric colours, purple is often in the auras of spiritual people - whether they are members of the clergy or mediums. It seems to express a spiritual nature and a connection to the divine in whichever form that may take.


The Angel who brings this colour vibration is Archangel Zadkiel. He is the keeper of the violet flame, which I spoke about in my previous blog.


Zadkiel with his consort Holy Amethyst also bring us soul freedom, justice,mercy, and forgiveness.


As an angel of mercy, some texts claim that Zadkiel is the unnamed Biblical Angel of the Lord who holds back Abraham to prevent the patriarch from sacrificing his son, and because of this is usually shown holding a dagger.


Zadkiel is one of two standard bearers (along with Jophiel) who follow directly behind Michael as the head archangel enters battle. In Jewish Mysticism and Western ritual magic, Zadkiel is associated with the planet Jupiter. The angel's position in the Sephirot is fourth, which corresponds to mercy.


If you feel drawn to Zadkiel, it may be that you are being hard on yourself or on other people in your life.  He reminds you of the healing power of forgiveness and that he can help transmute negative energy into positive energy in your aura - all you have to do is ask.


He can also help you to accelerate your spiritual growth. Simply call on him to join you in a meditation and see the difference his energy makes.


Zadkiel is also associated the the Crown Chakra (as this chakra is purple).


This is the 7th Chakra and considered to be the chakra with the highest energy. It is one of the gateways to connection to the spirit world and can help with spiritual growth. It helps balance the other chakras and is connected to joy, faith, peace and beauty.


The Crown controls a person's moral and ethics, and can also be used to access the higher consciousness or higher self.


If you wish to cleanse your energy or you wish to work on spiritual growth, Zadkiel is the angel to call upon. He can also help you let go of regret, bitterness and other negative energies.
