There are a lot of archangels that are well known like Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel. You may also have heard about Zadkiel, Uriel and especially Metatron. I wrote an article about Metatron’s Cube and how powerful it is. There are many books on angels and archangels at the Shining Lotus which are very comprehensive, but little is written about Sandalphon. Sandalphon may not be as well-known as the other archangels, but Sandalphon also has many gifts and powers. In doing my research on archangel Sandalphon, I came across a very long poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about Sandalphon. It’s worth reading.

What I did find on many Internet sites is that Sandalphon is the twin archangel of Metatron. Both were prophets that were made archangels by God. Supposedly Sandalphon was the prophet, Elijah, and Metatron was the prophet, Enoch. So, why am I writing about Sandalphon, it’s because I keep coming across this archangel. I discovered that Sandalphon is the archangel of music and I have written several articles on the healing powers of music and sound. Another interesting gift is creativity which I use to write these articles. A sound healer that I use, calls on Sandalphon to help with her healing. I received an article on the turquoise crystal and its healing properties. Then I found out that this crystal and color is associated with Sandalphon. I sometimes smell a sweet scent of sandal wood which also associated with Sandalphon, and sandal wood is used to make malas which carry our prayers to heaven. This also is another trait that is connected to Sandalphon.

Some spiritual teachers will tell you that the vibration of archangels is too strong for our physical bodies and so we really can’t channel archangels and that we’re really only working with their lineage. Others have told me that the archangels can turn down their vibration so that we can work with them. In any event I do know that the archangels are here not only to serve God, but humans as well. So, whether it’s working with their lineage or the archangels themselves, they are here for us.

On all of the websites about Sandalphon, he is referred to as “The Tall One” as he is large in stature. I have a massage therapist who uses Reiki in her treatment and is very spiritual and intuitive. She always tells me how many of my guides are present. There can be as many as twelve, but there is one in particular that always shows up. She says that he is very tall. Gee, I wonder who that could be.
