From the divine messengers of Western traditions to the devas of Eastern traditions to the meleks and spirit beings found along the Silk Road, angels are probably the most unifying themes of theology all over the world. But what is an angel, and why do they contact us, believers and nonbelievers alike?

In this in-depth study into the mystery and purpose of angels, Normandi Ellis looks at the angelic dimensions of spiritual traditions all over the world—from the ancient past to present day. She explores well-known angels from Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, the Hindu devata and Buddhist spirit beings, the spirit beings of ancient Egypt, the Peacock Angel of Yezidism, and the yazatas of Zoroastrianism. She compares angelic visions from medieval Christians like Thomas Aquinas and John of Damascus with what Theosophists, kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and up to date mystics like Edgar Cayce have recounted about angels. She looks at dark and fallen angels and their role in the grand cosmological plan. Quoting from sacred traditions, narrative myth, and latest angelic encounters, including her own personal interactions with angels, the writer clarifies the divergent aspects of angelic beliefs but also reveals the common points shared by all traditions.

Ellis shows how, in no matter what guise they appear, angels are messengers. She explains that angels are beings of light consciousness, a part of the universal life force that connects all beings. And not only are angels actively helping in our planet’s cosmic evolution, they also lend a hand us see our own place in the cosmic plan.
