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 visualizations, meditations, and exercises to tap into angels` divine loving energy, and gain their protection, healing, and inspiration.
