A Handbook Of Angels
Author: H C Moolenburgh
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1446489027
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
In 1981 a sermon was given in Leiden in which the minister called angels, 'a forgotten group'. This book is an attempt to recall a forgotten group into the memory of everyone. We read so much these days about matters concerning the underworld, that we are inclined to forget that an enormous 'upper world' stretches out above us. A world which is also extremely active, and one which is increasingly beginning to intrude. In A Handbook of Angels the author recounts his survey of four hundred people and the spectacular results, which include reportings of real-life sightings of angels. It becomes apparent that, though we may have forgotten about angels, they have not forgotten about us. They are returning to human consciousness on a gigantic scale.

Angels
Author: Dr. Kenner E. McKie
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543472192
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
There has always been a confusion with angels and other heavenly beings, such as cherubim, seraphim, and other creatures. The women with stork-like wings that Zechariah saw was unlikely an angel. For an angel was with Zechariah at the time as well as the fact that the women were not messengers like angels were. Furthermore, cherubim, which are bearers and guardians of those precious things pertaining to Gods glory are no more messengers than seraphim, which express the glory of God in his throne room. And while demons were angels at one time, it is either highly unlikely that they are winged, and if they are, then it is not an inheritance of their angel origin. And so it is with great regret (as with all great truths) that I state that angels indeed do not have wings. However, while this may excite some sense of confusion or disappointment at our own conception of angels, just remember, angels can be just as effective without wings as with them. And besides, I doubt one should go about erasing all the artwork of angels with wings, for it seems to comfort us to see them with those splendid soft white feathery wings even if theyre not true.

Stellas Daemonum (Weiser Deluxe Hardcover Edition)
Author: David Crowhurst
Publisher: Red Wheel/Weiser
ISBN: 1578636914
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
An exploration of the 93 spirits or "star demons" as revealed in the medieval grimoires and classical esoteric texts, and their correspondences in magic and astrology Stellas Daemonum offers an in-depth analysis of the spirits that appear in several late medieval and early modern grimoires. The book unravels these texts' mythical, etymological, magical, and religious meanings, and draws out their astrological correspondences. The author shows how the spirit entities featured in these Goetic grimoires can be best understood by studying the celestial nature apparent in the ancient concept of the daimon and through an extensive study of 93 of spirits featured in medieval and renaissance texts. The book also explores how traditional Judeo-Christian religion ultimately demonised such expressions due to their polytheistic roots and made punishable by death any attempts to reconnect with them. The nature of this work is strongly influenced by the author's own magical practices, but its presentation does not resort to subjective or personal experiences, having a style that is more formal and research-based.

Book Description
In 1973, a child was born. Okinawa, Japan was his birthplace. However, his mother didnt want him born. She wanted him to be born stillborn. She claimed she didnt want him to be born overseas. And, she almost got her wish, as that child had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck in the womb. The American military doctor recognized this fact when his mother pushed to get him out of her. With every push, his vital signs weakened. Two weeks prior that doctor had another child that died because the cord was around its neck as well. The doctor knew what to do this time. And, that was why Seranaphsus came to earth and was born Rene Thomas Colby on January twenty eighth in nineteen hundred seventy-three. And, it was in 1973 that eventually an angel was born strong enough to understand himself for what he was. That was the year that an infl uential angelic Elder was born to Aeal or earth for her protection and that of the fallen angels, as humans walking around on her surface.
