This is a reference guide on how to connect with angels. This isn’t a read once and done book. You’ll need to refer back to it often if you’re working with angels. The book is very well done.

Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley for the advanced e-reader copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

I was inquisitive when I saw The Essential Guide to Everyday Angels by Margaret Ann Lembo. A wonderful guide on how to connect with angels. As with any reference book, you will return to read again and again.

Incorporating Everyday Angels into Your Life

Are you familiar with the concept of everyday angels? These are not named angels, like the archangels. Rather, they can be petitioned in general, like the angel of romance or the angel of careers. In this guide, the author provides associations, petitions, and affirmations for tens of these everyday angels. The author sets up the book describing how she integrates things like colors, chakras, gemstones, and essential oils into her work with everyday angels. Each angel section similarly lists these associations as well as a general description of the everyday angel, questions you may be contemplating in his or her area of expertise, supportive archangels, a sample petition, and sample affirmations. Before diving into all the everyday angels, the author provides a brief section on your guardian angel. At the back of the book, the author lists the archangels and what they are associated with.

A quick look at the table of contents reveals that the everyday angels cover many potential topics from purely physical ones like fertility and sound sleep to emotional ones like grief or inner peace to emotions like envy to abstract ideas like loyalty and transformation to more mental aspects like discernment and intelligence to aspects of the more spiritual realm like divine intervention and universal love. I found the individual sections about each everyday angel to be fascinating reads. I thought that since most subtopics within each section read like a list—of colors, gemstones, essential oils, and even affirmations—they might have been easier to read as bulleted lists rather than written as a paragraph. I think, too, that there should have been appendices with lists of the gemstones and essential oils mentioned in each angel section. That way, if you have an interest in incorporating either, you could see what you have and what you might want to get. Apparently, the author sells a line of aromatherapy oil blends, and she includes an appendix of these relating to particular everyday angels. I thought this was a little self-serving and wondered at the appropriateness of it. All in all, though, I did find this to be a fascinating read about everyday angels and how we can incorporate them into our spiritual practice to improve our lives on multiple levels.

Margaret Ann Lembo has written a well-organized and well-researched book on The Essential Guide to Everyday Angels. She not only discussed Angels, but also additional modalities/tools that increase the power of them. Anyone interested in angels, spirituality, and/or holistic healing will find this reference book a place on thier shelf.

Lembo organizes the book to make it the most useful possible. She first introduces the ideas of Angels; Archangels; Chakras; Colors and Vibrations; the power of crystals, minerals and stones; essential oils; petitions/prayers; and affirmations. Then she puts it all together by listing the Angels alphabetically by their primary responsibility/situations where they are most effective, the chakras that support them, the colors associated with them or with the need, the appropriate gemstones and essential oils, the archangels which support them, along with a suggested petition and affirmation. By using a combination of modalities in your petition, you allow more power to work towards the resolution you seek.

I have always been interested in angels, but never realized that the chakras, gems and minerals, and essential oils worked together to supplement the power of a petition/prayer.

My thanks to NetGalley and Llewellyn Publications for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an unbiased review. All opinions expressed here are my own.

I was very curious when I saw this book. It was truly a beautiful guide on how to connect with angels.

As with any reference book, this will need to be referred to multiple times and not only read one time and put on a shelf to be forgotten about.

I received a free copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review from NetGalley and the publisher.

The title itself already tells you everything you need to know about this. It's a very thorough guide containing a lot of information on angels and their correspondences. I believe it can be used as a reference book for those who have an interest in working with angels in their craft.

What an excellent book! This Guide is a great tool for anyone looking to really connect with positive angels in a real way. Healing is something I am certain most everyone needs at some time in their lives or the lives of those they love. Raphael is only one of many angels discussed, This was the angel I decided to ask for help with a medical problem. I have never asked for help before from and angel other than St Michael. Which leads me to the most positive and often neglected aspect of books that offer spiritual help. Ms Lembo gives a whole chapter on how to use this book ! I had no questions after reading what she recommends for those looking for help. It really covered the actual doing part of reaching out to angels. She also discusses what to expect and gives stories of the angels intervention in peoples lives. This is a REALLY good book if you want to connect with Gods helpers in a real way. There are so many ideas that I know I will be going back to this for years to come as problems or events arise.

This is one of the best books I've read this year and probably the book written about the hierarchy of Angel's. The author did thorough indept research and presented this book with easy to understand information. There are Angel's for every being, whether human or animals. This book discusses gemstones, chakras and many other topics. I highly recommend because it is a MUSThave for my reference library. I am preordering my copy. Thank you Margaret for another great read. This book will be in kindle format and paperback.

This book is mostly a repetitive list linking "everyday angels" to various colors and gemstones. It did not grab my interest at all. The introductory material is interesting, and I would have liked to have read more narrative on this subject.
