Angels and Mortals: Their Co-Creative Power

CULTURES throughout history have envisioned such messengers from the divine realm. They are often described as shining ones that guide and help us and inspire to creativity. Indeed, there must be reality behind such widespread reports from so
many places through the centuries.

Are angels actual beings who live in a super-physical realm? Or are they archetypes in our unconscious that become activated by our needs and aspirations? Are they nature spirits that mold the growth of living things? Or are they cosmic beings whose consciousness is the very foundation of our inner selves? Do their numbers include dark or fallen angels that test us on our spiritual journey?

Maria Parisen has assembled a diversity of articles from many prominent authors about the nature of angels. The collection is unique in that all the pieces stress the part humans play with angels in the creation of our inner life and even of nature. The reader experiences a rich and variegated view of these ancient, elusive spirits that have inspired us for so long.
