Discovering Angels - Christine Astell

Splendidly illustrated throughout with paintings by the great masters, as well as images of ancient relics from diverse cultures and religions.

This introduction to angels looks in detail at their scriptural origins, symbolism, and guiding energies. It addresses such issues as what angels might look like and whether they have bodies, and examines such celestial beings as the Hindu devas, the amesha spentas or “bounteous immortals” of Zoroastrianism, the apocalyptic angels of Revelations, and even fallen angels.

In addition, those who seek a closer relationship with these heavenly messengers will find practical guidance in the form of visualisations, meditations, and exercises to tap into angels' divine loving energy, and gain their protection, healing, and inspiration.

Travelling around the world over the last twenty years, Chrissie Astell has brought the message of angelic love and healing to hundreds of thousands of seekers, and has taught successful courses on the many varied aspects of spirituality in today’s world. She has written five books, published three oracle card sets and recorded numerous guided meditations, as well as creating in-depth home study courses on spiritual development and angel card reading, and a diploma programme for those who wish to train as workshop facilitators.
