The first quote is about the angelic order of the Barakiel,and the second one,the pathway (vision) created by josephine,to reach for them.

The Barakiel

The Barakiel are an interesting lot and are taken up with protection and justice for innocent victims,
accompanying new life as it falls into generation, striking things/lightning, electricity, etc, and they
will work with you if there is a heavy possession of an innocent.
There are two main ways to work with them: bring them to you without vision or go to them in
vision. If you bring them to you, it can be very effective but you often end up with a flurry of dead
cows in the neighbourhood (lightning strikes). If the possession is serious though, it might be
necessary to just bite the lightning so to speak and get on with it.

If the possession is subtle, then you can go to them in vision either for them to come back and work
with you, or you can take the victim there in vision for them to work on the soul. It can be very
dangerous for a variety of reasons, so they are very much a last resort in some cases, but they are
effective. If there is cursing of an innocent, then they can be very good.
The way that they work in such circumstances is that they will strip the deepest part of the
possession or curse from a person, so that you as exorcist have a popped boil to work with. They won’t
do the whole thing, but they will do what is beyond you to do and they will also set in motion a chain
of fate, in the event of a curse, to rebalance the scales.

If you call them to you, do it on sacred ground. The reason for this is that they are a very powerful
consciousness and are not regularly worked with, so the path for them is steep, i.e. the energy filters
are not well used, so they can cause damage. If you are on sacred ground, that filters them a little. I
work in a church when I have to call them in.
Stand in both the void and the outside world, and inwardly call on them to assist you. If you cannot
work in a church, then open your working space properly, using the east for an altar and a flame. Set
up a sacred space with the directions so that there is an inner vessel to hold them.
If you are going to them, the vision to get to them is below.

The best way to work with these beings is to go to them if you are in a dangerous situation as an
exorcist and ask them to work with you or to work upon you to strengthen you. The way they affect the
body is through electricity. They work through the brain and nerves, which is precisely the area, along
with the endocrine system, that gets burned out with magical attacks, fielding demons, and clashing
with angels. They champion people on the front line as long as you don’t step off the fence—the
minute you cast judgement on a being, or attack, or lash out, they will strike you.

When you work with them, their action is twofold: to uphold your body in the face of demonic
attack, and to rebalance fate in a lightning strike. When you take on the role of exorcist, you wipe your
slate clean and get to work. If you muddy your slate, particularly while working with them, the
rebalance of that slate is quick, sharp, and dangerous. Slap a demon while you are in a bad temper and
a bolt of lightning slaps you. You can just see the wagging finger in the sky….

Sometimes they will also give you work to do. You crawl to them on your hands and knees,
exhausted from battling a demon and you ask for their help. They will give you help and then
sometimes also a job that needs a human touch—down time is not in the angelic language.
The following vision can be used to go to them for help, training, upholding, or putting back
together if you have had a very nasty time. But they will only help if you are innocent—they will not
help if you are being attacked by a demon that you yourself summoned. They will also not help if you
are working as exorcist and your host brought the demonic influence into themselves by their actions
with violence, sex, drugs, etc. The whole fluffy bunny expression ‘they had a bad childhood’ as an excuse for bad behaviour does not wash with these beings.
