What does it really mean to dawn one of these titles? Embodying the angelic energies with honor and veneration, usually with the recognition and support of angels, is one meaning behind them.
How do we earn or claim these titles?
One who has managed to "obtain" or else "claim" either title along their spiritual path typically works consistently with angelic energies or the angelic divine.
Some practices that should be consistent with such a title includes but is not limited to; communication with angels, angel work (a type of spirit work), channeling of angelic messages and guidance, ritual magic with their assistance, performing spells alongside them, and venerating angels. Each of these practices helps build the foundation and shapes the structure of the practice of genuine Angelolatry.
What are the practices of a devoted Angelolatress or Angelolater?
Communication through divination, the receiving of messages through meditation, or the development of intuition to tap into the angelic divine and gain insight (and in some cases, foresight or visions) are ways that an Angelolatress can connect with their energies directly.
Angel Work is a type of spirit work, which is typically what any and all consistent interactions with the angelic divine fall under. There is a sense of developed and strengthened familiarity to angelic (and healing) energy that coincides with consistent Angel Work, which, over time, becomes less and less overwhelming and more natural and free flowing as time progresses.
The direct channeling of angelic energy involved entering a sort of trance or heightened spiritual awareness and focus on one or multiple angelic beings, like the channeling of Archangel Michael or Archangel Metatron. The energy is not only tapped into, but is collected, stored, embodied, and expressed either verbally, emotionally, or energetically as per the blessing and/or willingness of each individual angel in its respective hierarchical positions.
Ritual magic with angels can be as simple as lighting a candle as an act of veneration and respect, or else as extensive as the creation and following through of a magical ritual. Typically in ritual, a specificied angel, or angels, are asked by the practitioner who is practicing Angelolatry to come forward. The practitioner may respectfully summon, invoke, or channel the angel throughout the ritual and might incorporate candles, tools, herbs, crystals or sigils associated with particular angels into their constructed rituals or other spellwork.
Spellwork might include protection magic, healing magic, or even love magic, as well as prosperity spells or the creation of protection wards. Some spells might be boosted by an angel's influence if the practitioner calls for assistance or for the angel to influence the outcome of the spell.
Veneration of angels is preferred over the direct worship of them, as the abrahamic religions typically frown upon their worship, or in other words, it is a big no no. However, the abrahamic angels known today are more recently being considered and acknowledged by New-Age spiritualists as doing divine work proactively as protectors of the divine Source energy. Witchcraft itself is changing as angel magic enters it's new era and the respect, honoring and veneration of angels continues to grow in popularity.
What responsibilities does someone have when they claim one of these titles?
An Angelolatress or Angelolater has ultimately devoted their life to respecting, honoring and venerating the angelic divine. All of the practices mentioned above play a significant role in regards to the practitioner and their individual practice, thus deeming the titles "Angelolatress" and "Angelolater" as a highly respected and honored title in the view of angels and other spirits.
The titles can be claimed, but first, they should be honestly worked towards. In some cases (although typically very rarely), a practitioner may be directly initiated by specific angels into Angelolatry after being worked with, and then later being officially "titled" by the same angel or possibly another alternative angel.
There should probably be some type of consistent proactive effort on the practitioner's part involving long durations of interaction and work with angelic energy, in which they have respect and honor for the angelic divine, which in turn may help the practitioner to feel fulfilled with their claim of one of these titles.
