Working with the angelic rulers of the days of the week offers a powerful rhythm for spiritual practice, spellcraft, and devotional living. These daily correspondences can be approached through multiple lenses—astrological, liturgical, mystical—and each has its own beauty. However, when walking the Path of Angel Magick, we are free to blend influences. We can create keys that combine the planetary rulers, angelic guardians, sacred exoteric and esoteric religious symbolism, and spiritual practices into a living, breathing system that helps us thrive rather than just survive in the world.

In this post, you’ll find a sevenfold angelic framework that helps you align with the divine energy of each day. Each key contains an Archangel, sacred symbols, colour frequencies, Tarot archetypes, gemstones and essential oils to help you anchor the energy into your daily magickal practice.
Whether you’re planning spellwork, seeking healing, or simply moving through your week with intention, these Angel Magick Keys will help you stay in sync with the divine rhythm of time.
A Brief Overview: Planetary and Liturgical Keys
Traditionally, the seven days of the week correspond with the seven classical planets and their angelic or pagan rulers:
- Sunday – Sun – Archangel Michael/Apollo/Hathor/Ra
- Monday – Moon – Archangel Gabriel/Artemis/Khonsu/Nephthys
- Tuesday – Mars – Archangel Samael/Ares/Sekhmet/Set/Tyr
- Wednesday – Mercury – Archangel Raphael/Hermes/Thoth/Ma’at/Odin
- Thursday – Jupiter – Archangel Sachiel/Zeus/Amun/Thor
- Friday – Venus – Archangel Anael/Aphrodite/Bastet/Freya/Isis
- Saturday – Saturn – Archangel Cassiel/Cronus/Nut/Renenutet
The Liturgical Keys of the Church: A Symbolic Legacy
The traditional liturgical calendar of the Church overlays its own spiritual themes across the week. While rooted in a patriarchal worldview, these keys still carry symbolic weight and can be reframed through an inclusive, mystical lens. It’s also obvious how much of the symbolism relates to and rests on the foundation of a pagan legacy.
Here is a summary of the Christian liturgical associations for each day:
- Sunday – Resurrection (Sun/Son of God; themes of light, rebirth, and spiritual victory)
- Monday – The Holy Trinity (represented by the Triquetra; linked to the lunar mysteries of threefold deity)
- Tuesday – Archangel Michael as commander of the heavenly hosts (supplanting Mars/Camael/Samael as warrior archetype)
- Wednesday – The Pastors or Shepherds of the Word (associated with Mercury/Hermes Trismegistus, students and teachers of divine knowledge)
- Thursday – The Holy Spirit (often referred to in the masculine in Church doctrine; equivalent to Sophia in Gnostic Christianity)
- Friday – The Crucifixion (linked to Venus-Neptune themes of sacrificial love and divine compassion)
- Saturday – The Holy Virgin (Stella Maris; associated with Saturn/Binah and themes of silence, depth, and initiation)
These liturgical keys form an undercurrent in the Christian mystical tradition. In Angel Magick, we are free to reimagine them, allowing us to reclaim their essence in ways that serve our spiritual sovereignty.

Let your intuition guide you. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Mix, match, or meditate on one key for an entire week. The angels respond to authentic intention more than formulaic perfection. And if you ever feel unsure, simply call on the Archangel of the day and ask, “How may I align with your light today?” The angels never fail to respond to a plea for assistance.
You are not alone here in 3D, dear Angel Heart! The World Dancer, Holy Sophia/Divine Mother Herself dances to the same rhythm in an ever-evolving spiral of spiritual growth and evolution.
