View Full Version : angels
Funny how life is. So loving!!! The Universe has a wondrous way of opening our minds and hearts if we allow it to.
Long story short, a year or so ago, I didn't believe in angels - scoffed at the idea. Then, bang, out of the blue one day - I saw one. Took my breath away. She was so beautiful and so full of love - undescribable really. And her message helped me heal from a very trying situation. I felt so consoled. Not to mention how freaken surprised I was!!! :D Needless to say, ever since then, I've been reading up on angels and talking to people about their experiences.
Now I own two angel decks that I love and that helps me learn about the angelic realm: Healing with the Angels Oracle Cards, and Angel Blessings. Both have beautiful images and really inspire me. I just received my Angel Blessings cards the other day - and am not disappointed. I also have the Angel Oracle, but the cards are not as inspirational, although the book that goes with it is very good.
Anyway, I prattled on probably more than you needed to hear, LOL
Love to you all!

I think I have always believed in angels, but thought they were kind of a "foofoo" type thing to put your energy into. I think it was a combination of the catholic/christianity aspect (which I didn't believe in) and the kind of pathetic (IMO) people who thought angels were here to save them.
But I have been reading the Kryon books (similar to the Seth books) and somehow in all the teachings of Kryon and my own mind opening I can feel them everywhere. Kryon talks about how we are all actually angels and....I've been trying to explain Kryon's teachings in a line or two and can't do it. In a nutshell Kryon says we have alot more control over our own lives than we've ever dreamed.
Anyway being open to the angels (and myself) has been wonderful and also helped my work immensely (I do massage, energy work, and aromatherapy) I now feel they are there pointing me in the right direction. -- Probably have always been there I'm just open to it now. Many people walk into my room at the clinic and say how good it feels.
Angels are wonderful beings - and so are we !!! :D
have you got any 'angel cards'?
they are wonderful little inspirational cards with one word and a little cartoon angel of each one.
they are tiny and fit beautifully into a little bowl or basket.....to be picked, one - three a day ~~as a source of inspiration.
love

Faunabay, what do you mean: the kind of pathetic (IMO) people who thought angels were here to save them.
Don't you believe in guardian angels? Before I turned 4 years old, my mother died. I always felt she was an angel, watching over me and protecting me. I thought angels were sort of that way?

Jeanett, I very much believe in guardian angels - especially for kids!! but for all as well.
I meant the people who wouldn't/don't help themselves at all. Would just sit there and say "save me I'm too pathetic to do it myself".
I saw alot of people (mostly christians because that was what I was exposed to) while I was growing up saying "oh poor me!" expected God or the angels to save them and not doing anything at all for themselves. It's kind of like that joke about the guy in a flood and people coming by to get him and he kept saying no thank you God will provide. So he ends up drowning and while in heaven he asks God why he hadn't saved him. God says "what else did you want me to do? I send 2 boats and a helicopter!" Or something to that effect. The people I were exposed to had that blinder like devotion. They weren't helping themselves at all.
I just had the misfortune to be exposed to that type of person while I was little so that's what I believed people who saw or counted on angels were like.
I hope you realized when you read my post that was the way I USED to feel -- not anymore. I've since grown up a bit :) and saw that's not the way it truely is. Lots of people believe in angels who don't have that blinder like devotion - ME for one! LOL
Jade - I do have those angel cards and pick one a day - they are adorable, aren't they? So cute !!!!! :)
Faunabay - I totally agree with you!!! Ever since that experience last year, I can feel angels around me, and others, not to mention healing white light - but that's been with me for decades. The best healing the Universe did for me was to make me realize that I was lovable and worthy (my Catholic, and also abusive, childhood robbed me of that). The other was that God/dess truly loved me. UNCONDITIONALLY. I cried like a baby when that one finally hit home. What an intense experience. Blew my heart wide open.
I do prattle on, don't I? tee hee, hee
deso, you prattle on about wonderfully enlightening things! :-)

Deso.
This is a great "I beileve" forum. No matter what you believe, it is nice to hear about other's beilefs.
Notes from an odd Christian. I lost my brother a few years back and I am possitive he is now my oldest daughter's Guardian Angel (She has even seen him).
I believe that God has a job for all of us both here on earth and in heaven (afterlife). Angels are sent to guide us. They can tell us right from wrong, they can hold our hand in a time of trouble and even talk to us. But like God they can't stop us from making bad choices (September 11th).
I would love to hear how Angels play a part in someone who is Wiccan or Pagans Life.
PS I was told that I have a Guardian Angel and a Spirit Guide (what does a Spirit Guid do compared to what a Guardian does?). It doesn't matter realy, I am greatful for both.
cj
in my belief, a guardian angel is with you for life :-) guides are with you for specific things ie: to assist you with your career, or parenting etc.
guides change as your needs change....some stay with you for many years.
i am wiccan and i have a wonderful guardian angel that i talk to almost daily :-) and i believe in angels, fairies, guides, animal guides etc.
angels are wonderful loving being that watch over us and assist us in our life. :-)
does that answer your question?
if not, then perhaps someone else can answer it better. i'm not very articulate tonight LOL
love and light,

one of the spells that i sell is
#55 Call In My Angel

Hi,
I went to a reading about angels some months ago and I have to admit that I did not like the lady's proposal to call on your guardian angel when you need a parking lot or stuff like that.
I am not so fond of the common idea of angels as beings with wings, golden hair and a white nightgown. I prefer my Indian totem animals but that is personal taste.

Supposedly, the archangel of the day I was born is 'Metatron'. Never heard of the name before I walked in an 'Angel Store' on a shopping trip. Not sure I believe this stuff.

Jade,
Thank you for your insight. Now I have to figure out what mission my guide has and How I can I can find out (connect).
You say That your Guardian Angel is with you for life. I believe that, but I am sure that they change as you get older and a person connected to you passes and gets the job ie My Brother was My Daughter's God Father and passed when she was 2 and my guardian is my Aunt Phylis who passed when I was in my teens. And in my heart I believe that my Mother will someday be my youngest daughter's Guardian Angel.

cj,
a guardian angel isn't necc. your god parent!
a guardian angel is a spirit/being that has chosen to assist you thru-out your life and share in your victories and sorrows. (that's what i believe)
catlin,
parking angels are great. we have a little song we sing to them as we enter the parking lot and we (90%) get a spot right up front! (and that's a huge thing at Costco! busy busy busy)
i also use rescue angels.........when setting up a protection spell or meditation on yourself or someone......when you surround the negativity, you can place two rescue angels by the 'ball of negativity' and they will take it into the light and empty it whenever it gets full......and then put it back into place to protect the person from neg. energy from someone/situation etc.
i love angels and work with them almost everyday!
love and light,
jade
ps my angel cards today are: tenderness, courage and joy! :-)

i have to share an angel expereince i had.
the year after my daughter died i was going to town to run some errands. i was feeling apprehensive for some reason so before i left the house i asked my guardian angel for protection around myself and my vehicle.
i was finished with errands and at a stoplight in town. there was a car waiting to turn so i went ahead and turned the other way. right then a car came speeding around the waiting car and i swear, couldn't have missed hitting the rearend of my car as i was turning. i squeezed my eyes shut and braced myself for impact. but, nothing......
i was thru the light and no crash! how did this happen? my knees went weak but i kept driving. once in the country, i thought about my angel and how i'd asked for protection. i immediately started saying a thank you prayer. right then i noticed something flying around the inside of my car. i thought it was a bug or something. i pulled over and couldn't believe my eyes when i saw a huge white feather floating around my car! this was the kind of feather you see on fancy pens at weddings and stuff. there is no way it was already in my car. i reached out for it and it blew out the window. i wanted to jump out and chase it but knew i would never catch it.
this was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. i can never discount the reality of angels in my life after this. once i'd gotten home, i realized it was the anniversary of my daughter's death. one year to the day.
thank you to guardian angels everywhere.
i hope others will share angel stories too. i never get tired of hearing them.
thanks deso for starting this thread.
love, light and peace, New River

New River, that's an amazing and beautiful story!
Jade, have you seen the Universal Angel cards? They're very similar to the angel cards you're talking about. Each card has pretty much a whole page devoted to it in the book and everytime I draw a card it's amazingly accurate and timely.
I haven't bought it yet, but when I go into the local metaph. shop they have it out to draw a card. I've seen others draw one also and they say the same thing. WOW!

Jade,
Sorry I may not have explained things right, a godparent in the Catholic religion is someone your parents chose for you when you are born to help guide your religious teaching (usually an aunt, uncle or special friend). They choose a God mother anda God Father. In the old days, if something happened to your parents your God parents would raise you.
That's what I ment.
cj
PS I love the thought of a parking angel.
new river,
thank you for blessing me with the gift of your words. :-)

cj,

New River,
What an absolutely beautiful angel story. It gave me goosebumps...the good kind. :D
My mom has some angel stories that give me goosebumps too. I don't know if I'm the only one who gets that kind of goosebumps...when it's something rather mysterious, mystical, miraculous and I can really feel it in my soul, I get these goosebumps and tears roll gently down my cheeks. It's a good feeling...although when I first felt it, it sorta scared me. Now I'm comfortable with it and cherish those times when I link with tender truth.
Thanks for sharing your lovely story of love and caring angels.

*smiles* Tarotbear, I trust you know that Metatron is the Voice of God, since supposedly no mere mortal can hear her voice and live.
So, when you talk, folks better listen....

We always listen to tarotbear. (said very seriously and solemnly) :-P Really we do!!!!!! And now we know why........he's the voice of God!

OK, just so everyone knows....I'm teasing tarotbear, not making fun of God! Just want to make sure noone takes my comment the wrong way.
I really do think tarotbear's the voice of God though :-D I sure listen to him!!! All the time -- uh huh, uh huh -- What're you all laughing at? I do!!
we have a local psychic here who has had several near death experiences who talks to the angelic realm. she has recently started drawing an angel tarot deck using i believe colored pencils and the deck should be done next year. you guys should have a look and tell me what you think she only has one picture posted. i saw that she was on an episode of beyond chance if yall have seen that show.ck www.tinamichelle.com
