Review:

One of the first things about this book that impressed me so was its size. It s rather large, and though it s not a hard bound book, the cover is certainly thicker than your typical paper back book. Wendy Edelson is the artist for this lovely book, and she s done a wonderful job. The pictures look like water color renderings. With its lovely art, it makes a perfect coffee table book. I had never read anything by Susan Gregg before, so I wasn t sure what to expect. I already have a library of angelic books, so I tried to set any preconceptions aside. This turned out to be easy, for as soon as I opened this book I was delighted. The first page I flipped open to was Metatron, an angel from both Judaism and Christianity. Now I ve had more than a passing interest in Metatron for almost 10 years now, and thought I d read everything there was to read about him. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that Susan had a bit of information I d never heard of. The book is divided into four parts. Part one is the archangels and angels, and contains information on 46 of the angelic beings. She covers the well known archangels, along with some of the lesser known angels like Elim, Bath Kol and Pathiel. Part two is on the saints. She covers information on 24 of them, including some of the more well known saints as Francis of Assisi and Teresa of Avila, but also some lesser known ones (to me anyway) like Bridget of Sweden and Alexis. Part three is ascended masters, spirit guides and master teachers. I found this section to be the most interesting as it contains personalities I was familiar with (such as King Arthur and Merlin) who I never actually considered ascended masters, but more mythological characters. She also talks about more familiar masters, such as Jesus, Buddha Lao-Tze and White Eagle, and some that I d never heard of like Hilarion and Lanto. There are 40 of them in this chapter. Part four is on the gods and goddesses, and, again, she takes care to list the more well known ones like Zeus, Isis and Venus, along with some that aren t quite as well known (to me at least), such as Hina and Yemaya. She also lists some of my favorites: Blodeuwedd, Danu and Aine. There are 90 of them in all listed in this part. Each page is laid out beautifully. Their associated faith, culture and time spent here on Earth (if any) is listed. Susan provides a brief list of things the Being may help you with, along with an invocation and a brief bit of history or folklore. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book, both Susan s writing and Wendy s artwork, and would recommend it to anyone who wished to further their knowledge of the Beings from the Heavenly Realms --Bella Online August 2008

When I first received my copy of this book, I thought 'oh no, not another angel book!' However, when I first started browsing through the book, I was pleasantly surprised. First off, this is a gorgeous book, and could easily just stay put on your coffee table. It's of a larger size, and where it's not a hard-back, it's cover is thicker than that of a regular paperback. The pages are thick and glossy, and there are many illustrations throughout the book. And I have to say the illustrations, which are done by Wendy Edelson, are fabulous. They look like they are done with watercolor? Whatever the medium, they are beautiful. It's 314 pages, and includes information on 17 archangels, 29 angels, 24 saints, 40 ascended masters and spirit guides, and 90 gods, goddesses and deities. On each page is is a section that tells you about that particular being. There is a section on how they can help you, an invocation and then a bit about that being. On the angels pages, the associated faith of that particular angel is listed, on the ascended masters' pages their date of birth and death are given, or it's listed if they are a mythological character. On the pages about the gods and goddesses, their associated culture is listed. This book is well researched, and Susan's writing style is clear and easy to understand. And I like that she includes some of my favorites, but also some beings whom I'm not very familiar with. My kids love to flip through this book, and I often find visitors to my home picking up the book and flipping through it and remarking on how interesting it is. I have enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great reference book on angels and saints, etc.. It's a wonderful source for anyone who wishes to connect to a higher power for wisdom and guidance, or even just to expand one's spiritual awareness --Deannesrealm dot com

I own several books that I use regularly to reference information about the angels, spirit guides and ascended masters. I use these books frequently when writing guidance messages on my website, www.yourangelsguidance.com, and as reference material for my clients during their angel card readings. Without a doubt, my favorite book is Susan's The Encyclopedia of Angels- Spirit Guides & Ascended Masters. In fact, I was so impressed with the information I found in Susan's book that I added a new feature to my website called YOUR Weekly Celestial Guide, which is 100% inspired by Susan and her book! Her book is full of easy to read information about our celestial beings, and most importantly, Susan provides a way to call on our celestial beings to help us with any life challenge we may have. You can use her book as you use oracle cards. Simply focus on what you need help with in your life and ask your celestial beings to help you pick an angel, spirit guide or ascended master from Susan's book that can assist you. If you enjoy reading about and using information about your angels, spirit guides and ascended masters, Susan's book is a must to add to your library of spiritual material. Gary Fresney Susan Gregg is an Angel of Aloha. She has compiled a masterful work. From its pages I am able to create a "S" (Spirit) Team to stand beside me and go before me, aiding me in all my endeavors. I only have to place my hand on the cover to feel the wisdom, love and power contained in its pages. EMJalph Cyrysalis. This book was recommended by a friend and has all of the information about Angels, spirit guides and ascended masters that you wouls ever need. Wonderful resource --GAMoore
