From a spiritual or esoteric perspective (outside of a strictly Catholic lens), Archangel Michael is often seen as a universal guardian, protector, and guide of light rather than solely a figure tied to a single religion. Here are some ways he is understood in broader spiritual traditions:
1. Cosmic Protector & Warrior of Light
Michael is frequently depicted as a force that cuts through illusions, fear, and darkness, representing clarity, courage, and truth.
Spiritually, his sword is symbolic, not just of battle but of the ability to sever unhealthy attachments, energies, or patterns that no longer serve one’s higher purpose.
2. Guardian of Souls & Energy Fields
Many spiritual traditions see Michael as a protector of the human aura or energy body.
He is invoked for psychic protection, shielding against negative entities, draining energy, or fear based thought forms.
Some describe him as a presence of blue flame light that strengthens and balances one’s energetic field.
3. Presence Across Many Traditions
In Kabbalistic mysticism, Michael is one of the archangels who guards and channels divine energy into creation.
In Islamic mysticism, he is known as Mikail, an angel of mercy, nature, and sustenance.
In New Age and metaphysical teachings, he is often seen as the most accessible archangel, a bridge between the human realm and higher dimensions of spirit.
✨ In essence, from a spiritual perspective, Archangel Michael is less about dogma and more about embodied archetypal energies like courage, truth, and protection, helping individuals align with their higher path and release what holds them back.
And as with all spiritual practices, it is good practice to do protection beforehand and gratitude afterwards ✨️🙏
