The Ancient Tradition of Angels

The Ancient Tradition of Angels by Normandi Ellis offers an in-depth study into the mystery and purpose of angels.

This book explains that angels are beings of light consciousness, here to assist in our individual and planetary cosmic evolution. It explores angels from various spiritual perspectives, including Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, Hinduism and Buddhism, ancient Egyptian beliefs, Yezidism, and Zoroastrianism. It also delves into insights from Theosophists, Kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and modern mystics such as Edgar Cayce.

In addition to historical and religious perspectives, the book examines contemporary angelic encounters, including the author’s own experiences. It also explores the roles of dark and fallen angels within the grand cosmological plan.

From the Western divine messengers to the Eastern devas, and the meleks along the Silk Road, angels present a unifying theme in global theology. But what exactly is an angel, and why do they reach out to people, regardless of their beliefs?

Ellis delves into angelic dimensions across world spiritual traditions, from ancient times to the present day. She compares angelic visions of medieval Christians with the accounts of varied traditions, quoting sacred texts, mythologies, and contemporary encounters. The book clarifies the diverse aspects of angelic beliefs while highlighting the shared commonalities across different cultures.

Ultimately, Ellis illustrates how, regardless of their form, angels function as messengers. She explains that angels are integral parts of the universal life force that binds all beings. Not only do angels actively support our planet's cosmic evolution, but they also help us understand our own role within the cosmic plan.
