Q:
My name is Radleigh Valentine, and I’m living a magical life. I would like to invite you to live there with me. (c)
A lot of cool advice on how to get out from one's lamp!
Q:
Archangel Ariel: If you’re concerned with manifesting what you need in this world from the standpoint of abundance, prosperity, or your material needs, Ariel is your gal. She’s also the protector of nature, including animals and the environment. Her name translates as “the lioness of God,” and she is associated with the color pale pink.
Archangel Azrael: If you’re burdened with sorrow, have suffered a loss, or are in need of comfort and a way to get past what you’ve experienced, call upon Azrael. He is the most graceful and the most elegant of all the archangels. His name means “the mercy of God,” and he can help you or those you know in need find comfort. He is known for appearing in a creamy-white color.
Archangel Chamuel: If you’ve lost something or are searching for something (the perfect job, the perfect mate, your car keys), Archangel Chamuel can come to your aid. His name means “the eyes of God,” and he can help you find anything you’re looking for. Resonating in a pale green color, he’s also the archangel to call if you’re trying to come to peace about something in your life.
Archangel Gabriel: Archangel Gabriel is much like the patron archangel of creative people. If you are working on something artistic; are a creative type like an actor, a speaker, or a writer; or need to find the right words for a conversation, then Archangel Gabriel is perfect for you. She is also great if you need someone to help push you past procrastination and get stuff done. As she is the angel of the Annunciation, she is also known to work with people regarding pregnancy, birth, or adoption. Her associated color is copper, and her name means “the strength of God.”
Archangel Haniel: Archangel Haniel’s name means the “grace of God.” If your concern is about growing your spiritual gifts and becoming more intuitive, then ask for her assistance. She can help with giving readings or doing them for yourself. She also specializes in women’s issues. She is known to appear in a silvery blue color.
Archangel Jeremiel: Jeremiel is another archangel who’s awesome for developing your spiritual gifts, but who is also great at helping you review your life to date so that you can understand what changes you need to make. His name means “the mercy of God,” and his color is deep purple.
Archangel Jophiel: Archangel Jophiel is the archangel of beauty. She can help you clean up your space and beautify any part of your life. Some call her the feng shui angel. I prefer to think of her as the archangel of positive thinking, because you can also call on her if your thoughts need cleaning up. As you might suspect, her name means “the beauty of God,” and she resonates to a fuchsia pink.
Archangel Metatron: If you need help with time management, then Archangel Metatron will be of assistance. He can bend time for you so that you have more time to get a project done or arrive somewhere on time even if you left later than you meant to. He’s also known as the protector of children and very sensitive people. The meaning of his name is unclear. His color is a blend of violet and green.
Archangel Michael: For those who are feeling unsafe, I recommend asking for the help of Archangel Michael, “he who is like God.” Known for helping protect us and also soothing our fears, Michael can sever unwanted connections to the past or to people you feel need to be safely and lovingly removed from your life. If you need self-confidence or clarity on your life purpose, call upon Michael. His color is a deep royal blue, sometimes seen with a hint of gold.
Archangel Raguel: If your concern is clearing up an argument, resolving a misunderstanding, or just making sure that things go well among individuals or groups, Raguel is the right one to call. His name means “the friend of God,” and he can smooth over difficult interpersonal situations or even help you make new friends. His color is a pale, robin’s-egg blue.
Archangel Raphael: Raphael, whose name means “God heals,” is the archangel for physical healing. So if you’re sick, in physical pain, or have other bodily ailments, he’s your guy. Raphael is also the archangel of safe travels, so you can call upon him while flying or driving long distances. He is also known as a bit of a matchmaker. I often suggest that people work with Raphael and Chamuel in partnership for issues of finding the right romantic partner. Raphael’s healing light is emerald green.
Archangel Raziel: I always think of Raziel as a kind of wizard of the archangel realm. He’s very magical and can help you understand esoteric information, heal from past-life issues, or interpret your nighttime dreams. His name means “the secrets of God,” as he is said to sit at the throne of God, writing down all he hears. He radiates rainbow colors.
Archangel Sandalphon: When you feel as though your prayers aren’t being heard or are being left unanswered, you can call upon Sandalphon, the archangel known to personally carry prayers to God. Ask him for help seeing, hearing, or knowing what the answers to your prayers are. He’s also the archangel associated with music, so musicians should take heed! Sandalphon means “brother together,” and he appears turquoise in color.
Archangel Uriel: Do you need a brilliant idea? Are you seeking a true epiphany about what to do next or any aspect of your life? Then Archangel Uriel is there for you. Uriel is also known for emotional healing, so if you carry pain from the past you need to reconcile and work through, he can help. Along with Gabriel, he’s a great archangel to work with if you see yourself as a spiritual teacher. His name means “the light of God.” I see him as being a glittery golden color, though others perceive him as solid yellow.
Archangel Zadkiel: Zadkiel, “the righteousness of God,” is the tutor of the archangel realm. Think of him as a kind of angelic ginkgo biloba! If your concern is taking tests, passing your exams in school, learning something new, or just remembering things, call upon Zadkiel, who is associated with deep indigo blue. He can also help you with forgiveness of yourself and others. (c)

Since I was reading a self-help unicorn guide I chose that I would end up reading this book as well that my sister had found. Both seem to have fantasy-based characters while both are in the same category as each other.
Unfortunately I think I may choose the unicorns over the genies. Starting off with the book I found the introduction of it all tedious and long while it made me restless while wanting to be done with the book.
What caught my attention with that introduction, though, was the fact that there would be exercises included at the end of each chapter. Most of these exercises ended up being something that almost any self-help guide or even therapist would direct you to do whether it is listing the good things, being grateful, removing negative influences, keeping a journal, etc.
The actual chapters were really quite long and just seemed to drone on and on. There were sections breaking down the whole chapter and focusing on major points but it all seemed to blend into one another.
Although the author minds to speak of God, prayers and angels his thoughts, which are discussed in the book, tend to be more of a New Age blend of Christianity with psychic and angel reading. There is more emphasis put on the fact that one should talk to their own angels instead of God while the inner genie seems to be more of what should come from God instead of one's own magic.
The book may be a decent sort of read and inspiring to others but I just found that it fell really short for me. Those who may like to read this would be those who are part of the New Age group and/or angel readers but otherwise for any others, especially devout Christians, this will be a book to steer away from.

He makes Genie magic seem practical
This book was well written with an easy to read style. The advice was very down to earth, which is odd to say since there was an entire chapter on angels. The author gave you the impression that genie magic is a natural way of being, and the only practical way to live your life. While I didn't agree with everything he shares, my only real dislike was the amount of space he gave to judging other people as the negative, drama, or problem people. He did give a passing paragraph to everything being a mirror, but ultimately didn't seem to give it much weight. Otherwise though, I really enjoyed the book.

This is by far one of the best books I have read all year! I knew it would be a great book when I purchased it but it far exceeded my expectations. Radleigh's writing style is so easy to read that it feels as if you are having a conversation with a good friend rather than reading a book. He provides easy to follow exercises at the end of each chapter to help you to practice the lesson provided and really make it part of your life. I can't see how anyone cannot live a magical life after reading this book. I look forward to reading it again in the near future!

I love Radleighs attitude to life . You will either love or hate this book, I often feel this type of book will draw you to it at the time you need to read it. So all I can say is read the official description if you like the sound of it then go for it. I enjoyed it and can see myself picking it up again. Do you have to read it in one sitting no pick it up as and when you want to. At times serious at times it made me smile , its non fiction so just get a bit of magic and spark up your life.

Oh my. Magical. I smiled all the while I read through this book. Definitely a keeper. Great lessons to revisit and do. I now have an appointment set up on my phone to make a wish or ask my Angels every day. I even got a special alert tone for it. The Little Mermaid Song. Thanks Radleigh. You are an Angel.

This book helped me see things I already knew (like how joy helps manifest faster) in a different way. The stories told helped me see the patterns in my own life but the lessons are where the real magic happens!

Very easy to read. Thoroughly enjoyable book.

This book was very helpful in giving me some perspective after suffering a major loss this year. I hope to find his other book to read.

Fun, enjoyable bent on the magic of personal ownership and manifestation
I read a lot, I love to read. I read most books on manifestation, self empowerment and anything else that I think might help me in my quest to move forward and create a happier, healthier life for myself.
I understand why this book has a five star rating, and it’s deserving of it. It’s light, it’s honest, it’s fun most importantly it’s right on in terms of what it takes to turn things around for yourself. Thank you Radleigh for your words and your life’s work. ✊🏻✨🙏🏻💗

Good book to learn
This is a good book to learn how to get in touch with your inner ‘Genie’ to read the messages you’re receiving every day. The author takes the reader through how to speak/work with the angels and why these angelic messengers want to help you manifest what you really want.

This Book is so Christian and also so untreated OCD to me.
Enjoyed the general messaging of life being magical and that our dreams are valid and should be dreamed! but idgaf about angels so that’s on me for choosing to read this book. Glad I got it at the thrift store for 10 cents.
Will be passing it on bc i think for the right person this book could be just what they need

A friend of mine gifted me this book randomly, and then I realized it came into my possession for a reason. I needed it.
This book makes learning to manifest so fun and, dare I say, easy?
It gives you exercises to complete after each chapter which are extremely helpful.
So glad I read this.

Loved this book, so many ideas to be magical!!

I love the way he writes and teaches you. I found this book to be enlightening and helpful.

Fluff. Nothing substantial or new here. No real action steps to take that will result in creating a life you’d love. There are way better books out there eg psycho-cybernetics.
January 4, 2021
I absolutely love this book, and it really turned this around for me when I first suffered a couple of life devestating bureavements withing a few months of each other.
Radleigh's charm and joyfulness really brings a fun book together. But he also gives you some great ways of working on yourself in a really personal way of digging in to your spirituality. I love his card decks, and love his live readings on Facebook, so its no surprise that I loved this book.
I learned allot more personally about Radleigh, but the real value this book brings, is how much you really learn about yourself as you work through it. The Genie Academy sections at the end of each chapter, help to bring real insight to how we feel about ourselves, and how we can release our own inner Genie to become more enlightened and joyful people.
I highly recommend

I really enjoyed this book and Radleighs way of writing, which is warm and very funny. I liked his ideas on becoming your own genie, and the mini homework at the end of each section. A fun and empowering read, and highly recommended.
