Archangel Rafael OR Raphael, depending on how you prefer to spell it, is waiting to help us as often as we ask. He may even be knocking health books off your shelves to get you to take a better path.
Only recently healing up from a nasty virus, I found myself asking for the help of both Archangel Michael and Archangel Raphael to help evict the illness from my body and heal once and for all. From Season Four's first episode, you may recall that I'd been timid when it came to asking any angel for help, but especially so when it came to Archangel Michael. Put simply, I didn't feel good enough to be assisted. Then he came to me in a dream, as a regular Joe in jeans and a t-shirt in a crowd of people to prove he'd been with me all along, and he doesn't need anyone to be anything but honest and grateful to be worthy of receiving help.
Archangel Raphael, though? I've only recently dusted off my connection to him. I'm not one to dwell on darkness, but this is a time when we have to make connecting with love and light, ground ourselves, and ask for help from angels as part of our daily routines. Think of it as spiritual toothbrushing.
I hope after this deep dive into Raphael, you'll feel comfortable reaching out. And often.
Let's get into it.

Model Wars
On the surface, the modeling industry in the 80s was about parties and pretty clothes, but underneath the flash, there were drugs, sex, and violence. And Paul Fisher, a former straight-A student from the San Fernando Valley, rose to prominence amidst the turmoil. After a chance encounter with an alleged mobster, Paul suddenly found himself with a million dollars in funding and the chance to start a modeling agency in New York City. The city was then embroiled in a “model war” between industry titans Eileen Ford and John Casablancas, and Paul tried to make his mark. But even as Paul thrived in the party-heavy culture of the time, burning cash like a furnace, he came face to face with the darkest forces in the industry. As his shady backers put the screws to him, Paul faced down deadly consequences, trying to make a star while saving his soul.
