a bit of info on working with archangels 🕯️
Tumblr media
the archangels, and angels in general, are beings that will never intercede without your expressed consent! they believe in free will which means that they will only work with you, give you messages, etc., if you are open and willing to receive their divine messages.
a common misconception is that angels will only help those who are religious (i.e. christian, jewish, muslim) but that is not the case! angels have nothing but love for humans and nature so they aren’t tied to any specific religious affiliation, though they come from a more religious background.
each archangel, and angel, has their own areas of expertise when it comes to guidance but nothing is beyond them! so you can essentially reach out to any angel for anything and they will do their best to help you.
i’m going to briefly talk about seven of the main archangels and list some correspondences and offerings as well!

Metatron's Tie
Tumblr media
**Update: check the reblogs. There's a clear picture that shows the tie pattern as flowers. So, there goes my theory. Whomp whomp. Easy come, easy go, as Freddie says. @archangelween @drconstellation
People, I have been trying to get a good look at the Metatron's ding dang neck tie since September to determine what those little blue symbols are. Because, like everything in the Good Omens universe, I believe it's been put there for a reason. I also believe that God has no idea what she's doing, which is why she hired Neil Gaiman to run things for a few decades.
Despite being a so-called agent of Heaven, the Metatron's costume is coded as demonic, from his dark topcoat to the black stripes on his white shirt. The item I find most fascinating, however, is his tie. And this is probably in large part because I've had so much difficulty seeing the subtle blue pattern upon it and that has made my brain itch and made me hyperfixate. As one does.
Tumblr media
I think I may have figured out the design, and it complicates all my Metatron theories, but here we go. The Metatron's tie is black, featuring a repeated small bright blue symbol throughout. I've guessed it could be a star or a planet. A cryptic sigil or maybe something to do with the coffee (I'm not a coffee-theory person, though, for the record.) I don't know what it is (well, maybe I do now, and I promise we'll get there in time...I'm a demon of my word), but I do know that it's important.
All the angels have references to their angelic status concealed within their costumes.
Tumblr media
Michael is the watcher. She is the one who, in Saturday Morning Funtime, delivers surveillance photos to Gabriel. To reflect this, Michael wears a gold ring featuring several small pearls that symbolize eyes. She is ever-vigilant (hyper-vigilant, ya might say), and even has a contact in Hell (Dagon) to broaden her scope of observation. The placement of the ring in the pinky is also significant. A good watcher mustn't themselves be observed, so Michael, in her role as observer must slip under the radar. This corresponds to the pinky finger being small and quite literally underhanded, as in at the bottom of the hand.
Tumblr media
Uriel's ring is a silver star, worn on her/their index finger, the digit associated with authority. (We call it the index finger because we use it to sort and catalog, creating meaning and order.) Uriel certainly commands authority, both in their overall calm and assured demeanor, and also in their actions. It is she who physically confronts Aziraphale prior to the S1 No-pocalypse, easily inspiring fear in the Principality. As for the symbol of the star, I believe it is a reference to modern Angelography (I might have made up that word, but I think you know what I'm talking about) which usually describes Uriel as a sun, star, or the flame of the Almighty.
Tumblr media
Sandalphon's symbology is two-fold: a thick gold pinky ring featuring a pair of circles (kind of looks like a lego brick, to be perfectly fair) and that small gold grill he wears on his front teeth. Both these items are the most elaborate pieces of angelic adornment that we see. Sandalphon's overall aesthetic is much warmer than the other angels', leaning toward caramel and tan rather than dove gray. He's a bit of an odd ball in the host of Archangels and stands out based on his wardrobe choices alone. He's also the only Archangel not to return in S2. I don't want to make too much of this, because there are many in-universe reasons why we may not see Sandalphon again. However, in Judeo-Christian scripture, Sandalphon is closely joined with...wait for it...the Metatron, with apocryphal texts describing him as Enoch's (the Metatron's pre-angelic human name) twin brother. I take this with a hefty spoon of salt, though, since Neil definitely plays loosey-goosey with these dogmas and even the scriptures themselves are a veritable soup of contradiction. (The Bible is not a static or universally canonical text, and Hebrew scriptures, outside the Tanakh are a web of activity and debate as to what is accurate. I'm not here for the arguments today; this is not my Bat Mitzvah.)
Tumblr media
Finally, we have Gabriel, the only Archangel who doesn't wear a ring. He does, however, wear a watch. I have two thoughts about the watch. First, clocks are thematically relevant in the Good Omens universe. From the grandfather clock in the bookshop to Crowley's elaborate wristwatch (which he has in both show and book) to the opening sequence of S1, which has far too many clock faces to count. So there's that. But holding time in one's hand (or on one's wrist) is a powerful metaphor that illustrates control and higher power. To possess a clock is to command time and space which are essentially inseparable. As the Supreme Archangel, Gabriel is nearly the top-ranking being in the universe (for a time, at least...see what I did there? pathetic laughter) and his wristwatch demonstrates this point.
Tumblr media
If you're still with me, you're doing great. Good job.
Tumblr media
We've got to see how important the Archangels' symbology is to their characters, I think, to really understand why the sigils on the Metatron's tie matter. So, finally to the point. Dolphins. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Tumblr media
To move forward, we'll need to call upon my old friend, the Tarot deck. Cards, in general, and Tarot, in particular, play a marked role in the GO universe. The Almighty Herself addresses the viewer in the opening lines of the show, "God does not play dice with the universe; I play an ineffable game of my own devising. For everyone else, it's like playing poker in a pitch-dark room, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time." As God speaks, cards appear on screen, and some of those are from the Rider Waite Tarot deck. One specific card that caught my eye in this montage is "Judgement."
Tumblr media
This card features an angel blasting a trumpet and waking the dead from their graves on the Day of Judgement. The angel on the card is not named, as such. It's usually assumed to be Raphael, as he is the angel who is prophesied to call and raise all souls on this day. However, I've found other references naming the angel as either Gabriel or the Metatron. Now, I don't want to get overly carried away here, but in the context of Good Omens, reading the Judgement card with the Metatron as the angel pictured may actually make a lot of sense, and clarify the sigils on the Metabutt's tie. The Metatron postures himself as the Voice of God--the Mouthpiece of the Almighty. Kinda like a trumpet, yes?
Tumblr media
Now look at the flag on the angel's trumpet. That's called St. George's Cross and it's a very prevalent European Christian symbol dating back to the Middle Ages. Like many images in the Tarot, it's a heraldic emblem that has meaning outside the deck, often associated with bravery and military might. It continues to be used in military iconography into the present day. The Judgement that the angel heralds is not peaceful. It's a call to war. The righteous will be gathered to Heaven and the wicked will be destroyed--a repeat of the first Great War in which Satan and the demons were cast into Hell. In the narrative of Good Omens, this war will bring about the end of time, the end of the world, and the beginning of eternity (hope ya'll like The Sound of Music.)
Tumblr media
Kids (human and goat, alike) I think those little blue sigils on the Metatron's tie are Saint George's Cross. (I'm so sorry this is so small and hard to see. Now you know my pain.)
Tumblr media
In the Final Fifteen, the Metatron speaks briefly about the Second Coming, which is a reference to Saint John of Patmos' prophecies--you might know them as the Book of Revelation. Some Christians interpret Revelation as an upcoming final judgement for humanity. And it seems, based on in-universe exposition, certain characters view these prophecies in a similar light. In the reverse body-swap at the end of S1, Crowley suggests that the averted Apocalypse was not the end of the conflict. "If you ask me," he says, "Both sides are gonna' use this as breathing space before the Big One. [...] For my money, the really Big One is all of us against all of them." And with the Metatron acting as the Mouthpiece of God, that "Big One," that Day of Judgement, if you will, may well be nigh.
I think the Metatron sees himself as the angel who rings out the Final Judgement. He is the Voice of God, after all. But here is a worrying thought. How little he would need to shift perspective to view himself as the Word of God, as well. The Gospel of John opens, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God." The Word of God is an epithet for Jesus. The same Jesus whose Second Coming the angel of judgement is meant to announce. So what if the Metatron just plans to consolidate these roles for himself: the heralding angel and the Second Coming rolled into one. He would become Judgement Incarnate, supplanting the Almighty once and for all. And for my money, that sounds just like what a demon would like to do.
***I'm updating because several readers have pointed out that it seems like I'm saying Metatron=Demon because Demon=Bad. Thank you for bringing this to my attention--it makes me a better communicator. I can see where it's coming from. It's not my intention. Consider this meta sort of an extension of my "Metatron is the Murder Hornet" meta, which I'll link with the tags if you're interested.
Just wanted to clarify that I think at its heart, Good Omens is thematically about rejecting the dichotomy of good and evil and embracing the messy gray space that is reality.
When I call Metaboob a demon, it's not because I think demons are evil, it's because I think he's the hornet in the beehive and we've seen that demons need an angelic escort (Crowley and Muriel) to access Heaven.
TL;DR Angels are not the good guys. Demons are not the bad guys. Good Omens is NOT about that at all.

Where Are The Archangels & Jesus?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seriously, none of that adaptation BS if you are adapting a work of Christianity these figures are important. They also should have been shown in heaven if they showed the rest of the angels. Also again I was waiting for their depiction since so many fanon showed them and their relationship with Lucifer. Seriously, if Vivziepop is going to pick and choose it just further shows how she's terrible at understanding Christianity. Also again Christ not being there would kind of put a damper on things because his whole things was saving humanity from hell and he totally would be for it if he learned about what Adam was doing.

☆~♡Wings♡~☆
Dating the angelic beings /being their soulmate (so being the only one that can see their wings)
Tumblr media
Micheal/Adam milligan
Tumblr media
Micheal is kinda protective over his wings at first
But when he met you he softened up
You seemed to want to see them all the time even when he hid them
So he let up
His wings are tuff and thick, not easily bent or moved
You still need to be gentle with them though
If you're to rough with them that will either 1 hurt him or 2 make him veryyy needy 😉
He likes being around you alot so when you're hunting or doing something and it gets to dangerous he will wrap his wings around you creating a little room where nothing could get through
When you have trouble sleeping hell wrap you in one of his wings like a burrito and it helps you sleep, it Also calms his and Adam's anxiety/nerves
Lucifer
Tumblr media
AS SOON AS HE FIGURES OUT YOU CAN SEE HIS WINGS WITH OUT LOSING YOURE EYES HE FUCKING GETS WILD!
He's legit so f*cking happy you can see them without any reproductions
He always has a wing covering you're back
When you sleep or hug or kiss his he holds you tightly to his body and wraps his wings as close as he can without hurting you
He refuses to let you sleep outside of his wings
In public if you're shy he will guide you with his wings
Some times if you're hunting with like Sam or Dean and it gets to dangerous he will wrap his wings around you them telaport you to the thrown room in hell and play doctor/patent with you being to over dramatic making sure you not hurt AT ALL
His wings are sturdy and buff the are soft but not gentle
They are strong af, and they basically are everything proof
But if you touch or tickle his wings the right way, Here ->
🦼👩‍🦼👩‍🦽
He's gonna be all over you!!
If he's being mean you just massage his wing and he fucking MELTZ
But if others touch his wings he's sending them to his worst demons to get tortured
Gabriel
Tumblr media
He wrapped his wings around you before he knew you could see them, and before you were dating
He's used to you and his wings
He doesn't see it as a big deal
He loves his wings but loves you more sooo
He's also very clingy and cuddly so his wings are always around you
The have huge span just like the other archangels, basically all the archangels wings reach to about 54 feet wide and 32 feet tall in my mind
I mean castiel says that his true form is the size of the Chrysler Building in New York, which is 1047 feet (319m) in height and he's just a angel so 1 imagine how big his wings are let alone how archangels are much bigger then regular angels so they could easily be like 2000 feet tall in true form.
Gabes wings are soft and gentle they often have a mind of their own and sway to music
Raphael
Tumblr media
Questions you when he figures out you can see his wings
Is happy you can see them but doesn't show it
He usually has a wing around you bc he protective
He's not that open to pda but if you're affectionate alot then he will be too
He matched you're energy so you don't dis like him
One time you two where laying in bed and you were trying to fall asleep but couldn't due to how cold it was and you told Raphael, he let you use his wing as a blanket. He just opened his wing and guided you on how to Lay down on it and then wrapped you up in it
You fell asleep quickly due to the softeners and warmth
Now it's you're favorite thing to do
If you touch his wings without his knowledge his wings likely accidentally zap you a little bit
So always give him warning when touching his wings or else it might end up badly
He loves you alot but is very chill and doesn't want to have much pda, but if you do want alot of pda his favorite way to show he loves you is through physical touch, meaning wing hugs
Oh also when you kiss him without warning his wings flap without him trying
Castiel
Tumblr media
He doesn't really believe the whole "soulmates" thing
But he he finds out about it he slowly starts to believe it more
He loved you even before he knew you two were supposed to be together
He grooms his wings alot, one time he had a hard time cleaning and area of his wings and you walked in, asked if you could help.
.... long story short you always groom his wings
His wings are strong yet soft
His feathers are like a super soft cats fur
When he's sad or angry massage his wings gently and it calms him down
If he's having a panic attack, hug him tightly and massage the base of his wings it will calm him
If you and him a near someone he doesn't trust guess what? ✨️wing burrito✨️
He likes rubbing his wings against you during sex bc it makes it more intense for him
He also rubs his wings against you when he tellaports so he doesn't scare you
When you sleep he puts his wings around you just so you're safe
Jack kline
Tumblr media
Jack knew you can see his wings just by the way you looked at him
He loves you and loves having his wings around you
His wing is always touching you
When he's sad they droop
He loves you touching his wings but it makes him shudder
He fludders his wings when you walk in
If you're cold or sad he will wrap you in his wings and cuddle you whilst talking to you
He loves you dearly and the fact he can use his wings on/with you means alot to him
He loves you're touch on his wings
You and him both learn how to groom his wings
After he showers he shakes of his wings like a dog
Tumblr media
His wings soak up so much water that it gets everywhere
He sheds his feathers alot and the grow back quickly
But you took one of his feathers and put it on a necklace
If you two are apart and you get hurt or are sacred he cans sense it through the feather of his you wear and he comes
If you pray to him you feel wings around the second you prey to him
Chuck sherly / god
Tumblr media
When Chuck created soulmates he didn't specifically much except "every being had a soul that is ment to be with them, they fit like puzzles together"
When he figured out you where his soulmate and you could see his wings he immediately hugged picked you up and deeply kissed you
Scince he's god nobody can see his wings, it ruins them
But scince you're his fitting puzzle peace you can see his wings
He loves you but he loves that you can see his wings too
He constantly shows you pda/affection anywhere any time, and he loves showing you that through his wings
He spoons you with his wings
He pins you against the wall with his wings
If he doesn't want you leaving bed he holds you down with his wings
When you shower with him he has his wings close to you holding you close whilst he washes you're hair

So I have something that's been bugging me: Aziraphale is a principality, which makes him higher ranking than the archangels, but still let's them boss him around and acts like a lesser angel. Why? Please I need answers this has been on my mind for months
This might help:
