How can you call Angels into your life?

To call angels into your life, simply ask! Angels respond to prayers and thoughts of love. They are only a whisper away. The more you think about angels, the more you call them into your life. Some people find it helpful to have pictures or statues of angels within their home as this assists them to focus on angels. Where intention goes energy flows. As you put your attention on angels they will begin to appear in your life.

From Archangels to your personal guardian angels, right now angels are bridging our physical reality with their pure spiritual energy. The time is right. For within our planetary collective consciousness, we have put out the ‘call’ and the angels have answered in droves. Like a leaf falling softly on the still pool of our consciousness we will recognise their presence. As you trust and open your heart to them, they will pour out their blessings on you. Angels are real! They are a doorway to the divine within yourself. Angels have been waiting for us to be ready and now is the time. Angels are beginning to manifest for humanity. Expect a miracle. Expect an angel.

How can you recognise an Angel?

Angels appear in different forms. Though it seems to be a rare occurrence, the form that most people associate with angels is the traditional church angels with wings. More common however, are angels appearing in human form. These angels appear when needed and then sometimes mysteriously disappear. They take a form which is comforting and pleasing to the individual to whom they appear. They appear as both male and female, young and old, all different races, well dressed and shabbily dressed - no matter what form - they offer guidance and help in a non-intrusive way.

Though the numbers of occurrences of angelic visitations is growing rapidly, most angels aren’t seen but are felt. There are different ways to tell if you are in the presence of an angel. Often the pure scent of flowers accompanies their presence. Sometimes an angel will announce its presence with a slight breeze even if all the windows are closed. The breeze is the flutter of angel wings. Sometimes you’ll hear the faint sound of bells or chimes or trumpets. I believe that the reason for the sound is that when angels break from their dimension into ours there is an accompanying sound. Sometimes an angelic presence is seen as a flash of light but the most common way to tell if you are in the presence of angels is by the warm wave of love that washes over you. If you feel an angel is standing behind you, it most likely is.

What is The Purpose of Angels?

Angels are messengers. They are messengers from spirit allowing us a greater understanding and connection to Spirit. Not only are angels messengers, they are also part of our consciousness, representing realms beyond thought and idea. The human mind needs form, so the Light of Spirit takes on the physical form of an angel, to encourage direct communion with God. We create a dimensional blending that enables them to appear in a form that is acceptable to us.

Throughout history angels have inspired poets, artists, writers, prophets and religious leaders as well as everyday men and women. Angels are associated with higher nature, joy, beauty, fulfilment, laughter and peace.

Angels are here to heal us, to redeem lost faith, broken trust and innocence. They help us lay down the burden of fear, guilt, uncertainty and pain. They help replace feelings of unworthiness with joy as they help us gently enter the world of love.

Angels are different from guides in that they have not lived an Earth time existence; angels are of the stars and heavens, guides are of the Earth. They are divine beings who have not experienced the Earth plane in a human body. They do not have karma or evolutionary issues to work out from having lived on Earth. Angels are celestial beings of a higher vibrational level than guides.

From nature angels and angelic messengers, to your own personal guardian angel, there are many different kinds of angels and each serve a specific function in your life. A nature angel is guardian or protector of a particular area on Earth such as a mountain. Archangels such as Michael with his sword of truth, serve as guardians for the entire planet. Messenger angels are angels that sometimes take on human form for short periods to give you a message, offer help in times of danger or teach you an important lesson. A guardian angel is your personal protector that is looking over you always. Your guardian is a very special kind of angel that is with you from the moment you are born to help you move towards the light.

Cupid the god of love

While not a real Angel, Cupid was the God of Love to ancient Romans, and many cultures believed in his powers. Even in the modern world, references to Cupid and his bow and arrows of love are found everywhere, especially on Valentine’s Day.

Cupid was not originally the cherubic, happy little angel that we think of today. In his original incarnation, he was a very mischievous, sometimes dark god of love and desire who enjoyed matching "odd couples" and seeing how they worked out.

Cupid eventually fell under his own spell of odd matches. He fell in love with Psyche, a mortal. In the Greek language, Psyche means "butterfly" and also means "soul". In many ways, what Psyche goes through is symbolic of the path of each woman’s soul in life.

Cupid had actually been sent by his jealous mother, Venus, to punish Psyche for her beauty. Instead, he fell in love with her. He arranged to have her brought to his mountain home to live with him, but he hid his identity from her, only visiting her at night. Their time together was so tender and full of gentle talk that Psyche fell in love with Cupid, without ever seeing him.

Psyche’s jealous sisters were angered by her wealth and love, and convinced Psyche that her lover must be a monster to so hide himself. The sisters persuaded her to sneak up on him after he left her one evening, armed with a knife. He awoke and saw her there, and said sadly, "I inflict no other punishment on you than to leave you forever. Love cannot dwell with suspicion."

Psyche realized how foolish she’d been, and decided the only way to be with Cupid again was to go talk to Venus and ask for her blessing. Venus was delighted at having Psyche kneeling down before her, and set forth many tasks for Psyche to perform to prove her worthiness. Each task was more difficult and dangerous, but in each case a God stepped in to assist her. Finally Psyche and Cupid were allowed to be married. They were very happy together, and had a child, named Pleasure.

Bring cupid into your life by drawing hearts with arrows in them on the steamy morning bathroom mirrors, or by signing your letters and notes with the symbol!

Angels: What are they?

There are many types of angels all over the world Many religions have different means of what an angel is, and different roles for them. Angelos is the Greek term from which the term angel came from.

Angels are everywhere in today's society. They are depicted frequently in television shows, movies and books. They are pinned to our lapels and hang from our rear-view mirrors. They are traditionally viewed as "guardians" that protect our homes and children.

Angels are depicted in many ways throughout popular culture. They are identified as chubby babies with little wings, beautiful women with feathered wings, and men of military strength with flowing robes of white.

Angels are energetic manifestationa and vibratory expressions of the qualities of the divine. They awaken our consciousness to the presence of the divine that all ready exists in each and every human being. By connecting with them we activate aspects of the divine within us.

Depth of Mist Wood

When I came across this photograph my soul longed to follow it's misty path through the quiet wood. I can almost smell the air.

Do You Believe In Angels?

I do. I have always been taught that we all have a guardian angel watching over us, and I believe this to be true. I have often thought maybe we are Angels, and our guardian is our best friend from back home keeping an eye on us while we're here on earth. And so, usually when someone asks me the inevitable question "Well, Are you an Angel? " my reply is "Of course I am. Aren't you?"

Are You Acute or Obtuse? My Life as Angle

I never really knew my name was unusual until I started school. Every year, on the first day of school, the teacher would inevitably call out

"Angle? is this a misprint?"
"No, that's how it's spelled, there's supposed to be an accent, its Angle' " I would say pronouncing it with my best fake french accent. After a few lousy attempts to say it correctly "just call me Angel" I would say, if you aren't going to say it right don't bother.

This exchange was usually accompanied by a chorus of snickering from my classmates. After class someone always had a wisecrack about my name. It was the same year after year, with every new class. eventually I'd just say "Yea, it's a misprint, it's supposed to be Angel." and Angle' was lost.

Well, ARE you an Angel?

You have no idea how many times I've heard this question. People think they're being funny when they ask, but after a while it just gets old. What a ridiculous question to ask someone. Being named Angel comes with the expectation to act like one. That's a lot to live up to as a kid. Of course, I really WAS an angel, at least right up until puberty. Now I'm not so sure anymore.

How I Became Angel Reborn

At some point before I was born, my mother found my name in a novel. "It means Angel reborn," she tells me, "it's French." The spelling and pronunciation is still a mystery to me to this day, Angle' Ronay.

Angle' Ronay is not the French spelling, mom got creative with that. The little ' above the e is supposed to be an accent aigu. Unfortunately in my world computers never print the accents, so all of my important legal documents read Angle and it is the legal spelling of my name. I have often wished my name were spelled differently, but how would I spell it?

Angel ? -the nickname
Angele ? - looks more like it sounds, with or without accent
Anglee' ? - keep the accent, loose the angle
Ange ? - the true French spelling -Nah, worse than angle
Rene' ?- true French spelling, and another accent
Renee ?- more like a first name, with or without the accent

Everyone calls me Angel. Occasionally my parents or close loved ones will speak my "real" name, each pronouncing it differently. I have never been able to discern which is the correct pronunciation, or which I prefer.

ann-gel-lee?
anglee
on-ja-lee
on-gel-lay?
ann-ja-lay?
row-nay ?
rah-nay ?

I'm confused. But so long as you say it with a fake French accent it sounds pretty nice.

What would you do? Would you change the spelling and to what? How would you pronounce it?

Should I Change the spelling of my name?

Yes, if it makes you happy. No, respect mom's choice.
