Angels come in all shapes and sizes

by susan on July 12, 2008

What I love most about working with celestial beings is the surprising way things show up in my life. I’ll try to make a long story short. Through a series of coincidences the idea of YouTube kept coming up, over and over again. I’ve learned over the years to pay attention to that sort of thing. Then Thursday I was talking to my web magician Zack and he e mailed me a link for the Flip video recorder.

I took the afternoon off and went to the warm ponds with Mahealani, my best buddy, teacher and friend. She teaches ancient Hawaiian spirituality and communicates a lot with her ancestors. They had been talking to her about something and she just didn’t quite get what they were talking about. After a few minutes we both realized it was You Tube, putting her teachings out there with YouTube.

So yesterday was a big day for me. I signed up for Twitter. I can really see how that can be like potato chips. If you’d like to follow me on twitter just go here:

I also got a Flip camera and a new puppy. She has yet to be named but she is very cute. Here is my first YouTube, of course it is of her:

In a few weeks I will be doing a class on listening to your angels. I know when I listen, magic happens.

Have a great weekend!

With love and aloha,
Susan

Angels waiting to enter my garden

IMG_0747

An angel watching over my chicken’s grave. She was killed today by the neighbor’s dog. As I carried her home a rainbow appeared in the sky even though there was no rain. Guess she wanted to let me know she had crossed over the rainbow bridge.

Pele - the goddess of the volcano

by susan on July 8, 2008

I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, the home of Pele. Right now the volcano is very active and creating a beautiful show as it flows down the pali and into the ocean. I feel so honored to have the opportunity to live in her backyard and be a caretaker for a small piece of her aina (land).

Pele is definitely the goddess of fire. Light a big candle or build a bonfire. Write a letter to this fiery goddess. Tell her what you want to let go of, what you would like to transform and what you are willing to do. Choose your words carefully. Not only is she a jealous goddess but she knows how powerful your words are. When the letter feels right burn it and throw the ashes into the wind. Listen carefully for her guidance and allow her to help you transform your life.

Pele will help you:

Increase the passion in your life
See your life with greater clarity and understanding
Transform your thinking
Deal with an unfaithful lover
Get to the heart of the matter

Freedom and Independence

by susan on July 4, 2008

A friend sent me this and I thought it was very interesting. I have no idea who the original author was but I am passing it along with thanks to the writer whoever they are!

The 4th of July

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the
Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured
before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two
sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the
Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred lives.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine
were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated,
but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that
the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his
Ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and
properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move
his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay,
and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from
him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton,Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British
General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his
headquarters.

He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was
destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed
his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their
13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were
laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves,
returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. Some
of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn’t.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It’s not much to ask for the price
they paid.

Remember: freedom is never free!

Patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than
beer, picnics, and baseball games.

With love and aloha,
Susan

What are angels anyway?

by susan on July 1, 2008

People often ask me that. What are angels? Here is an excerpt from my book that answers that question.

excerpt from:
The Encyclopedia of Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters
All material copyrighted 2008

Angels and archangels are spiritual beings whose primary function is to act as intermediaries between mortals and God. Angels have fascinated human beings for millennium. The are usually depicted as very graceful and beautiful beings with wings. When someone says, “You’re an angel” they usually mean you are a blessing and have probably been very helpful.

Angels are always willing to be of assistance. They love you and they want you to be happy. They will never interfere in your life unless you ask for their assistance. Angels can’t do anything for you, but they can guide you, make suggestions, and help you avoid potential obstacles. In return they simply ask that you deepen your connection with your spirit and open your heart to the powerful forces of love and gratitude.

Surprisingly the angelic realms are structured and have hierarchies. Depending on the tradition there are many levels and numerous categories. The term archangel comes from a Greek term archangelos which means chief or eminent messenger. They are also known as the ‘Holy Ones.’

When you are working with the angels take sometime to get to know them. Each one has a unique personality and each one has an area they excel in. Once you get to know them you will instinctively know who to call on. Allow them to become your friends and become familiar with all of them. Once you develop the habit of calling on them you will find it becomes almost second nature to acknowledge their presence and welcome their assistance. They are more than willing to help you so why not let them!

With love and aloha,
Susan

The Angel Gadiel

by susan on June 28, 2008

p043-1Gadiel is called the most holy of angels. His name is said to mean, “God is my wealth.” He is one of several guards for the gate of the south wind. His name has been found inscribed on amulets used to ward off evil. Sorcerers often invoke Gadiel in order to conjure up great power.

When you call upon Gadiel you may see flashes of yellow or green. You may also see your curtains stirring even though the windows are closed. Trust his love to point you towards the truth and the best direction for you to take in your life.

If you are feeling down or victimized by life, Gadiel is the angel to call upon. Before you confront any negative situation, call upon him to protect you. Gadiel will also help you release any negative feelings you have after a disagreement with a friend, an unfavorable assessment from a boss or an argument with a lover.

This is the angel Gadiel who will help you:

Maintain a positive outlook
Repair a damaged relationship
Improve your job performance
Transform your life
Release limiting beliefs
Create abundance

Invocation

One way to call upon Gadiel is to go outside when the wind is blowing and invite the wind to carry your prayers to him. His name has great power, so saying Gadiel repeatedly while you ask for his assistance is also a wonderful way to invite him closer.

Another way to call him is to close your eyes and imagine that your request is tied to a beautiful balloon. Take a few deep breaths and when the time feels right imagine letting go of the balloon. Know that Gadiel will always answer your prayers.

The Angel Gazardiel

by susan on June 24, 2008

I was doing a radio interview yesterday and the interviewer mentioned that Gazardiel was her favorite angel. Today a friend e mailed me about finding a new job so I emailed him to her. So when I thought about a post today I realized this was Gazardiel’s day. So here he is.

p019_72dpi-1

Call upon Gazardiel to help you with:

New beginnings
Deepening your understanding of an issue
Releasing an addiction
Finding a new love
Creating the perfect home
Getting that a pay raise
Launching a new career

Gazardiel is the angel of the east and is often called “the illuminated one.” In some Jewish legends he is responsible for the rising and setting of the sun. He embodies innocence, renewal and enlightenment. Gazardiel brings illumination and new beginnings to anyone who asks. He often announces his presence with a shaft of beautiful light. The colors most often associated with Gazardiel are those of a fabulous sunrise: buttery yellow, orange, various hues of pink and purple. When you call upon Gazardiel your prayers will be carried directly to God.

I am sure you don’t doubt that the sun will rise tomorrow. You can be equally sure of Gazardiel’s help.

Invocation:

The ideal place to invoke Gazardiel is where you can clearly see the sunrise. Face the sun and as the first rays of light strike your face ask for his assistance. If you can’t see the sun then just face toward the east. Then clearly state your problem and ask for Gazardiel to illuminate your way. His support is always gentle and loving yet very powerful. The clarity he imparts is amazing.

With love and aloha,
Susan
