In today's busy and often stressful world, many of us feel the need for some kind of spiritual light, love and guidance. Luckily, no matter what our belief system, angels and their energy are a presence that we can call upon to act as channels between ourselves and God, the Divine, or Spirit - whatever we understand this universal force to be.Through The Guardian Angel Oracle cards and guidebook, renowned angel expert Chrissie Astell helps us to tap into the energy of the angels in a more focused way, with Archangel Michael representing heart, Gabriel mind, Raphael body and Uriel soul, and each card representing a different positive quality such as Protection, Love, Forgiveness and Beauty.After an introduction to the history and significance of angelic beings, she provides advice on handling the cards, different ways to use the deck, affirmations and meditations, as well as three layouts with sample readings.Whether we seek guidance about a particular issue, wish to feel a celestial presence more acutely on a daily basis, or perhaps simply seek inspiration on a particular day, The Guardian Angel Oracle will give us all the tools we need to forge invaluable connections with these powerful beings.
