Recently, someone reached out to me, concerned that the beings they were channeling were archangels, but the messages felt controlling and sometimes harmful. False angels and beings of false light do exist. It’s important to recognize them early and safeguard your energy.
Quick Checklist
- Do you feel uplifted and calm after contact? Yes / No
- Do they respect your free will? Yes / No
- Do they ask for anything that diminishes your power? Yes / No
- Do they have an unpleasant smell or feel? Yes / No
- Do they pressure, scare, or predict negative outcomes? Yes / No
9 Signs You Are Encountering False Angels
- You feel negative afterward e.g. anxious, exhausted, scared, sad, or physically unwell.
- The messages lower your viewpoint e.g. they instill fear, control, or suggest outcomes that are not for your highest good.
- They are self-centered, seeking attention, energy, obedience, or asking you to do things that serve them.
- They manipulate, pressuring you, ignoring your limits, or disregarding your free will.
- Their appearance (in vision) is harsh: sharp features, hoods, dark orbs, or an unpleasant smell.
- They offer ‘attunements’ or gifts that leave you feeling diminished or dependent.
- They violate or ignore the Law of Free Will (they continue to engage after you say no).
- The guidance leads to confusion, fragmentation, or disempowerment instead of clarity.
- Trusted helpers (like an invoked archangel) respond negatively to them, or they disperse when true light is invoked.
Real angels vs false angels
| Trait | Real Angels | False Angels |
|---|---|---|
| Emotional effect | Uplifted, calm, loved | Anxious, drained, frightened |
| Respect for free will | Always — ask only when invited | Often ignore or override boundaries |
| Motive | Service-to-others; no gain | Self-serving; feed on fear/attention |
| Appearance | Luminous, beautiful, warm | Harsh, sharp, dark, unpleasant odor |
| Typical outcome | Empowers and heals | Confuses, controls, diminishes |
Practical protection steps (do these in order)
- Acknowledge your feelings. If something feels off, trust that instinct.
- Stay centered. Take deep breaths, feel your feet on the ground, and imagine roots extending into the earth.
- Remain calm and assertive. Avoid panic; keep your inner strength.
- Request their departure. Politely but firmly express that you do not agree to further contact.
- Picture them leaving and you shutting and locking the door behind them — consider that door as your shield.
- Purify your environment and energy. Use sage, sound cleansing, or invite white light to cleanse your home and aura.
- If necessary, firmly demand they leave. Treat them like an unruly guest and assert your power.
- Call upon Archangels Michael and Raphael (or your trusted spiritual allies). Seek spirit release and protection.
- If the presence continues, get a home/energy clearing from a trusted healer.
When to call Archangel Michael or a healer
- If the entity refuses to depart, is hostile, or you feel constantly drained.
- If you have recurring intrusive visions, nightmares, or physical symptoms after contact.
Archangel Michael is often called for protection and spirit release; Raphael assists with healing afterwards.
Short personal note
This is not the first time I have encountered false angels. Several years I had my own experience with them.
I was meditating with a group of lightworkers when two false angels appeared on the astral plane. They grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me through a wormhole. It happened so quickly I was disoriented, and yet I sensed we were moving interdimensionally.
Then I came to my senses, and yelled, “Stop!” Everything froze, and we were suspended in a cloudy white space. I took a closer look at the male and female ‘angels’ and saw that their features were much sharper and pointier than the angels I knew and loved. Their strange appearance, coupled with their bizarre behaviour, told me all I needed to know. They tugged at my hand and tried to get me to move, but I dug in my heels and shouted, “No!” They backed off, looking surprised.
I then called for Archangel Michael to come to my aid. A being similar to Michael appeared. He had the right colours in his aura (royal blue and purple), but his features were sharply angular, just like the other two. I backed away from him, and called for the real Archangel Michael. Within two seconds, the angel I know and love appeared. As soon as the real Michael materialized, the three false angels looked startled and then quickly scattered. Archangel Michael gently escorted me back home.
I have fielded many questions over the years concerning false light beings. It would seem that many service-to-self spirits love to impersonate angels. That’s one of the reasons that the topic of angels elicits mixed reviews. Over the course of human history, we have been visited, and interfered with, by many off-worlders (both corporeal and non) claiming to be gods and angels. These negative interactions with false angels have left us with an uneasy feeling about the angelics.
Despite the spate of impersonators, human consciousness is awakening, and with that expanded awareness comes the ability to discern light from dark entities. There is no reason to shut yourself off from the angels providing you learn to discern the difference between the false and real angels.
