Often confused with archangels, guardian angels are often personal to the individual and aid one spiritually and physically. More often than not the name of your guardian angel is very specific, and when attempting to research them, you likely won't find any sources because they won't seem to "exist" in any texts, biblical or apocryphal, making the task of finding offerings or things they like more difficult. Working with your guardian angel is similar to working with the archangels in the sense you can invoke them, communicate with them, ask for guidance, request assistance, etc., it's just a tad bit more personal. Remember to treat your guardian angel with the same respect you would any other spiritual being or deity: they are not your pet at your beck and call to do as you command. If you're a more devout follower of the biblical texts and respect the 'canon', then angels are extensions of God's will and serve as an intermediate between you and Him, and it should be noted that the worship of angels as gods is considered idolatry. This depends on your faith though.

How do you find more information about your guardian angel? Since it's personal to you the individual, it is a personal journey of spiritual discovery that will lead you to these answers. Meditation, prayer, communication, and generally keeping in touch will reveal the truth in due time. If a name drifts into your mind, write it down because it might be your guardian's name. Some have gotten as far as seeing them and ascribing a visual form to their guardians.
