A Higher Help Guide
This list of archangels, ascended masters, goddesses, and saints, along with what they specialize in, can serve as a reference guide when higher help is needed in your life. Not every angel, ascended master, or saint is listed here, but I’ve included those who can help with a variety of issues to get you started. As I explained in Chapter 2, you do not need to practice a certain religion or belief system to ask them for help because in the hereafter there is no religion or separation; there is only oneness and love.
As the archangel who oversees nature and the natural world, Ariel can be called upon along with Archangel Raphael to heal humans, animals, plants, and the environment as a whole.

Also, she can help with manifestation, prosperity, and abundance because of her influence on the natural world.
