I Don’t Care What Anybody Says, Its Impossible For Me To Miss My “window”. I Am The Window, I Create

our last day together.

Why you should lock your mirrors and how to do it

Taken from my BOS, inspired by a viral tiktok, adapted to my own practice

In Mesoamerican culture, mirrors were seen as portals. Some say that these portals are from one dimension to another, and others say it is a portal to the realm of the dead. This is why many witches suggest covering your mirrors at night or if they are facing your bed. However, some may want to have the full convenience of not covering their mirrors at all, during any time of day. This is where locking mirrors comes in. Not only is it convenient, but it adds another layer of protection to your home. Wards mean nothing if you have an open portal to the dead in your bathroom.

How to lock a mirror:

Gather full moon water, florida water, or another protective liquid that won’t leave a stain on the mirror.

Wash (physically clean) and cleanse (spiritually clean) your hands. You can do this by running them under water or passing them through incense smoke.

Dip your fingers into the moon water, or whatever liquid you are using, and draw a pentacle or protective sigil on the mirror. Imagine the mirror closing (you can visualize this as a light behind the mirror fading, or metal bars locking in front of the mirror--whatever your mind’s eye sees the portal as).

Let the water on the mirror air-dry on its own.

Can you tell us a bit about Jophiel? She fascinates me.

Hello fierysword :) (I'm actually flattered that you've sent me an ask!)

So Jophiel. She's not one of the "seven" in my own practice, but I'd be more than happy to talk about an archangel 💫

Archangel Jophiel

Jophiel (Jofiel, Zophiel, Iophiel, Iofiel, Yofiel, and Yofiel) is the "beauty of God" also seen as the "Angel of Beauty". She is also regarded as a companion to Metatron

You can petition her or pray to her for:

Seeing beauty in things (such as God's creation)

Seeing beauty in God (and his holiness)

Self esteem (seeing yourself as the divine see you)

Creative inspiration

Helping your thought patterns and addictions

Joy in life

Transformation

Considering this, her domains could be conflated with Haniel's (Anael, joy of God. Harmony, poise and grace) and Zadkiel (Sachiel, angel of Mercy. Who can help with stress, anxiety etc.)

But looking to her domains, you can consider her an Archangel of gratitude, perspectives and inner thinking. A great archangel for shadow work in combination with other angels (like Zadkiel, who according to the Zohar, helps her and Michael battle evil), a very strong contender as a transformer of negative to positive thoughts

Additionally you can consider her domains to be:

Wisdom

Spiritual and religious reading

Knowledge

As Jewish tradition notes that she is the angel guarding the Tree of Knowledge with a flaming sword (sword is also attributed to Uriel, and being a wisdom archangel can be conflated with Uriel) and so she is a guardian of knowledge. She is also said to oversee Sabbath day Torah readings

She has also been written to be the angel of the seventh heaven and guardian of the Torah, who also taught 70 languages to souls at creation

As a patron angel you can call her:

Patron of Artists and Intellectuals as the angel who can bring beautiful inspiring thoughts (also attributed to Gabriel and Uriel)

Patron of Recovering People, as she can bring joy and light after darkness (also attributed to Zadkiel)

Patron of Balance (though typically attributed to Anael), as her association with bringing beauty is also associated with Feng Shui

Some systems may replace Jophiel with Raziel though places Jophiel is mentioned, other than what has been mentioned, includes:

Pseudo-Dionysus works

Kabbalah

Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum

The Veritable Clavicles of Solomon

Sixth and Seventh book of Moses

In terms of planetary correspondences, Agrippa attributes Jophiel to Saturn (Cassiel in ars paulina) and Paracelsus assigns to Jupiter (Zadkiel/Sachiel)

Robert Ambelain says Jophiel is in charge of this cherubim ("Prince of Cherubim"); Haziel, Aladiah, Lauviah, Hahaiah, Iezalel, Mehahel, Hariel, and Hakamiah

It is said that Jophiel's colour is yellow (though typically I have my own associations with colours and angels. This is just a fun fact). Though it can make sense with yellows association with illumination, the mind, the element of air and all associations to follow

Her symbol and element is fire which is for her light, illumination of knowledge and the flame that leads the way

Her day of the week is Sunday (shared with Michael).

Here's her sigil/seal you can use when working with her:

Here's a prayer you can say to her:

Dearest Archangel Jophiel, archangel of beauty and wisdom, please bless my creative endeavors.

Open my eyes that I may notice the beauty in the people around me as well in every part of Creation, including myself.

Empower me to maintain a clear mind even in times of chaos and make my mind orderly and serene. Inspire me to trust in God’s greater purpose for me and lend me the patience and the wisdom to recognize God’s beauty in every situation. — Amen

Since there is a lot of talk about twin flames, and most of it is highly opinionated and mostly false, I am making a comprehensive list of links to articles and videos explaining what soul connections actually are and how to determine which one you have.

There is no excuse for ignorance. Please educate yourself.

Youtube videos: https://youtu.be/NzmUkvuNqqU https://youtu.be/45s_qLsWpJE https://youtu.be/YMpwVRtwm5Q https://youtu.be/AtRvseK6qXw https://youtu.be/SuytPrtS4HE https://youtu.be/5Kz8ESOYCME

You do not need to, nor should you ever manifest someone even if they are your twin flame. If they are meant to be yours they will be, if not, then not. It creates a toxic relationship. It takes away their free will. By the laws of the universe it is unethical, and will create negative karma.
