find your Guardian Angel
Israfel
Israfel is the angel of Music and Singing. Israfel will watch over you as you compose or play music, but he refuses to deal with agents. Pray to him daily and he will ensure that you never spill your bong or stick to the seat in the tour bus.
PRAYER: Angel of Song, help me to groove toward music that inspires me to do good and to get groupies. Help me to tune in to G-d's universal harmonies (without the harmful side-effects).
