Our angels communicate with us in so many ways!
Have you ever seen a glint of light in the corner of your eye? Felt a sudden sense of love and peace during a moment of sadness? Found a feather in an unlikely location? Felt an overwhelming sense of love when you least expected it (but neede it most?)
Our angels reach out to us in many different ways. Their purpose is to guide us through life by offering their love, guidance and comfort when we need it most.
It’s when we’re living through our most difficult moments that the angels draw ever closer to us to surround us with their divine presence, gently and lovingly diffusing the fear and negativity around us.
Because we’re so overwhelmed with the responsibilities of our physical lives, most people are unaware of the messages of the angels.
Take a quiet moment each day to ask your angels to communicate with you in some way. You’ll be surprised at the response you’ll get. They’re listening to you and are eager to respond to your request.
Pennies and feathers seem to be a favorite of the angels. They love to leave little items around for us to find. It’s their way of saying “we’re here for you.” (more…)

Our angels are assigned to us for protection, guidance and love. Even in our loneliest moments, we’re never alone. All we have to do is call on our angels for guidance in every area of our life.
Your angels are just as excited to communicate with you as you are with them, and there’s a very simple technique that you can use to communicate.
Automatic writing has been around for centuries. People have used it to speak with their guides, angels and loved ones in spirit.
It doesn’t require you to do anything unusual. Simply sitting in a comfortable position with a pen and paper is all you need. If you’re like me and want to bring through messages quicker, you can use a computer keyboard.
Now, there are two types of writing when communicating with your angels. There is “automatic writing” and “automatic dictation”. (more…)

Angels are our closest friends and our strongest supporters!
They respond to our call before we even finish asking. They inspire us when answers seem out of reach, they encourage us when we can’t take the next step and they love us even when we don’t love ourselves.
Most people live their lives totally unaware that they have a wonderful spiritual support system at their disposal at a moment’s notice.
Each person has at least two angels, without exception.
They are by our side from the moment we are born until we go home.
Because we have free will, our angels can’t help us unless we ask for them. We can’t assume that our angels will come to our aid on a moment’s notice without calling for them. If they did, they’d violate our free will. (more…)

Look around you and you will see them. Close your eyes and you will feel them. I’m talking about angels. They come in many forms, many colors, and many sizes, including male, female, and animal forms.
They have different roles and serve different purposes. There are healing angels, messenger angels, protective angels, warrior angels, guide angels, teaching angels, and angels that inhabit certain places.
Angels are super compassionate beings that vibrate at a very high frequency, so consequently they are flooded with brilliant light in their natural form. There are hundreds and thousands of them with us. They need human prayers, either spoken out loud or in thought to move them to action.
There is a symbiotic relationship between humans and the angelic beings. They cannot interfere unless they are asked through prayer or meditation. That’s why anyone could be directed in a moment to pray for a total stranger, so that the angels may act even half way across the world.
Angels also can be directed or commanded into action long before an accident or a tragedy has occurred, because you have already called them and released them into action by your words or your thoughts on a continuous basis long before anything has happened.
If you are moved to pray for someone or some place and you don’t know why, just stop and pray. Direct angels to work on the behalf of the person or place that you are praying for. (more…)

“What color is an angel?”
I looked up from the book I was reading to see my 7-year-old granddaughter with a large box of crayons spread out on the floor above a coloring book.
“Is it a boy angel or a girl angel?” I asked. “A boy,” she responded. “Then use a light blue crayon,” I concluded and went back to my book.
However, since then I’ve been thinking about how a simple question by a yet unpolluted child can’t always be answered so simply. How many colors do angels have? How many kinds of angels can you name? (more…)

Dion Fortune, an early 20th century British author and metaphysical teacher, wrote that all religions have spiritual guardians, and living religions have especially powerful guardians.
It is wonderfully inspiring to see the angel art of many cultures. In this painting by James Tissot, a magnificent angel guards the worshippers as they pray in a beautiful mosque.
However, despite its loving depiction of Muslims praying in a mosque, this painting would not have been done by a devout Muslim. Islam forbids creating images of humans or of spiritual beings.

Here is another of the beloved guardian angel paintings, this one of African American children with an angel who appears African American, too.
Angels are visualized by every people in their own way. In fact, it is sometimes hard to be sure whether the spirits depicted or described are angels or some other kind of benevolent spirits. There is no doubt about this angel, though.
Compare this angel with the lovely Kwanzaa angel I wrote about a few months ago, and you will see the difference. Both are beautiful, but one has more African influence, and the Kwanzaa angel painting is strong, contemporary and original.

There are many concepts of the guardian angel, but this image of children guarded by a lovely angel as they cross a rickety bridge over roaring rapids is a sentimental favorite. Many children and adults over the years have been comforted by this angelic vision. I hope you are, too.
How many times, do you suppose, do our guardian angels protect us, and we don’t even notice it?
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. —George Elliot

Virgin with Angels, painted by William Bougereau in 1900, depicts the beautiful white-robed, white-winged angels that most of us expect. Bougereau’s angels have sweet faces and generally look like pretty young girls.
As you will see in other articles, angels have been depicted in many different guises over the centuries. Medieval and Renaissance angels were often shown in very expensive, aristocratic clothing worn by the wealthiest people of the artist’s time period and region.
The fabrics were rich and often quite heavy looking. The colors were intense and often quite deep. Often the garments appear to be embroidered with gold and gems.
In contrast to Bougereau’s delicate angels, often the angels in Medieval and Renaissance art appear to be male and wear solemn, even stern, facial expressions. In the customs of the time, some of them were probably modeled on the children or protogees of the artists’ wealthy patrons.
Even more startling are depictions of the avenging angels wearing metal armor and brandishing swords.
And that’s just in Europe! In the future I hope to show examples of angels from other cultures, in beautiful images that may look very unfamiliar to western eyes.

Make friends with the angels,
who though invisible are always with you….
Often invoke them,
constantly praise them,
and make good use of their help and assistance
in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.
—Saint Francis de Sales
