This books is so beautifully illustrated. It's an absolute pleasure just to look through before you even start with the written content. It's full of content, lots of descriptions on angels and what they can do for you and how to call on them for help and support. I knew some bits already but I really learnt a lot from this book, it's so packed with information. Absolutely beautiful.

This book contains four sections. Each section brings a different group of celestial helpers: angels, saints, ascended masters, and deities. The author gives a short explanation for each section. What those celestial helpers can do for you and how you can connect with them. For example, a meditation is a good start to connect with the angels. Saints performing miracles can assist you in achieving your miracles. Ascended masters assist people in letting go of their limiting beliefs and direct them to the easiest and most direct route where they want to go.
Each celestial helper is presented in a straight-forward manner: religious association, helping powers, invocation and short info about the celestial helper. Each one is presented with an illustration, which visually helps you remember them.
For example, Saint Germain can help you make freedom a reality in your life. “Freedom is a choice we make moment by moment by how we focus our attention, what we believe, and whether we choose love or fear as our motivation.”
The section about gods and goddesses gives also a glimpse into cultures. For example, “Itzamna is the founder of the Mayan culture (…). He brought his people maize and cocoa and showed them how to heal.”
It is a very enjoyable and practical read. I’ve read a few books about angels and this book definitely brings something new and unique.

I LOVE this book! I'm so glad that I found it on Netgalley! The book has a short introduction and then immediately starts talking about almost 100 different divine beings. It's divided into four categories: angels, saints, ascended masters, and goddesses & deities. I learned a lot about entities I don't work with, but I also learned knew things about deities that I do already work with. The book has great and simple tips for the invocation of divine beings, and it's full of extremely beautiful pictures! I will definitely buy the print version of this wonderful book, and I recommend it to everyone who wants to get started with spirit work or deities.

Está bien como una guía básica nada más, omite mucha información relevante, resulta que todos los ángeles y dioses son todo paz, amor y luz...nada que ver con la realidad, todo lo negativo lo pasa por alto, como metatrón que es de lo más poderoso y oscuro, o Kali que la pone como amable y cariñosa!!🤦🏻♀️ Cuando es la fuerza más destructiva que hay en el hinduismo. Si queréis invocar a alguien no os llevéis por este libro e informaros bien primero...las ilustraciones tampoco me parecen bonitas ni acertadas, es como si las hubiera pintado un niño de 15 años. Siento ser tan crítica pero me ha desilusionado bastante.

I was sent a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
The illustrations are amazing - this is worth it just for the illustrations. Unfortunately I was not attracted to the text in the same way, I couldn't connect with the book. But I am sure it makes a great book for many other readers, and the illustrations are amazing!

Very disappointing book! If it weren’t for the illustrations I’d give it only 2 stars. More than half the book is devoted to Judeo-Christian angels and saints. Only 4 of the ascended masters are not affiliated with Christianity. The last 90 pages are goddesses and deities that are unaffiliated with Christianity/Judiasm. I feel like this is very misleading and I would not have purchased the book had any of the reviews I read mentioned this. The illustrations are very pretty but the book is really more for Christians and Catholics than for people wanting to learn about goddesses and spirit guides IMO. A more fitting titled would be “Angels, Saints, and Goddesses.”

Gorgeous and inspiring. The illustrations are simply breathtaking - many times I found myself pausing in my reading to just stare at a particular one and drink in all the detail and color. Definitely an intriguing jumping off point for further exploration into some of the beings and mythologies mentioned. Recommended!
I received a digital ARC from the publisher via Netgalley.

I read this book in Dutch. I love the drawings and I love the descriptions about the angels, spirit guides and Goddesses/Gods. Only too bad the Goddess Bastet isn't in this book. I love how the book tells me how to ask for help and what to do to honour them. And what every angel/spirit guide/goddess/god stands for.

I actually really love this book as an easy read and reference it alot. Super simple. Would love an even more in-depth copy of each angel. It's great for introduction and suggestions for seeking help from particular guides.

Es un libro con unas hermosas ilustraciones, es ligero aunque le falta un poco de profundidad

Beautiful art and the discriptions were fine for beginners, but the autor hadn't written that you should get initiated first before working with African deities like Yemaya

Ilustraciones preciosas no entiendo como este libro no es más famoso

The artwork is stunning! The descriptions are also wonderfully written.

Beautiful book. The descriptions only give a small snapshot into each divine being, so I’d recommend the reader do further research on anything that piques their interest.

First, thanks to NetGalley for providing me with this free ARC in exchange for an honest review. The illustrations are the first thing that caught my eye, they are so beautiful and unique that honestly it's worth the grab solely on that basis. I love the short and sweet descriptions of the Angels, Spirit guides, & Goddesses, the quick ways to be close too, invoke, praise, call on the spiritual guides. I absolutely loved how it seemed to tie in multiple deity's for a common goal. I truly enjoyed this one over all. I'm so glad that we ordered our copy!

I LOVED every single illustration in this book and Audra Auclair the illustrator just won a new fan.
This is gorgeous and I had so much fun going through this book. I loved the layout of the explanations, the background info and how to connect with the spiritual beings.
I want a copy of this on my coffee table! I can recommend this to anyone who loves art and is interested in Angels, Spirit Guides and Goddesses. This would also be a beautiful book to read with your children.
Thank you NetGalley for making my wish come true. I was really stoked!

Angels, Spirit Guides and Goddesses by Susan Gregg was a wonderful read. It is divided into sections of Archangels, Saints, Ascended Masters & Master Teachers, and Goddesses & Dieties. At the beginning or each section the Author Susan Gregg gives a insert of the functions and how the particular Archangel, Goddess etc, can be of assistance to us. Each divine being is explained in a one page format which gives the feel for me as a quick reference book, for if you want to know more and truly learn about for example Orisha Oshun its best to do more research before invoking. The illustrations throughout the book are colorful, refreshing and wonderfully diverse that would be very useful for a go to source for meditation purposes. Overall this is a wonderful and informative read that I recommend!!!

This book was lovely. It's and excellent reference/guide-book for all, from those just beginning their spiritual journey to those who just wish for a deeper connection.
As someone who was brought up Catholic, I really enjoyed the descriptions of the saints. I grew up being told to pray to various saints, so it was nice to read some of their backgrounds. It was a little interesting and strange that so many of the saints are associated with roses.
As far as the book structure, it would be helpful if the picture and description placement were more consistent. Maybe it was made more difficult because I read this as an e-book, but it would help to have all of the illustrations first and then the description, or vice versa, instead of switching it every so often. Having inconsistent placement can leave the reader a little confused in e-book format as to which illustration belongs to which description.
I didn't care for the fact that under Oshun's "associated culture" section it listed African. Under the "about" section, it clearly states that she is a Yoruba goddess, so her associated culture should be Yoruba. This is the same for Yemaya, who is a Nigerian goddess (presumably of various Nigerian cultures?), and placed under the "African" culture. Africa is too diverse and full of wonderful, varying cultures to place them all under one umbrella like that. In contrast, the Egyptian gods and goddesses were clearly labeled as Egyptian in their culture section, despite Egypt being just as much a part of Africa as Nigeria and Benin (where the Yoruba peoples live).
Kwan Yin is also a Chinese name for one of the Bodhisattva. It seems incorrect to label her Indian/Asian.
Overall, this was an excellent book covering a wide array of spiritual guides, god(desse)s, and various other spiritual beings. The illustrations were gorgeous and truly added something magical to the book. I loved that the descriptions of each being was separated into sections (associated cultures, what they will help with, how to invoke them, and an about section). This made the descriptions easy to follow, and it would make them easy to refer to when in need.

Engaging and informative! Exceptionally beautiful illustrations. I knew of some of the deities but I also learned something new as well. Wonderful read! I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Wonderful guide to a myriad of possible spirit beings that can come into your life. Excellent explanations with beautiful pictures. Recommended for anyone looking to learn more.

A good jump off point. Not religion/pantheon specific Not in alphabetical order, if that is important to you.
January 20, 2019
Angels, Spirit Guides and Goddesses is a great starting point for anyone looking to learn about deities from a variety of religions and cultures. The content was easily digestible and it was a quick read. You could definitely refer back to the book as a reference item because it listed what each deity could help you with in your own spiritual practice. There was also some beautiful artwork in the book. My favorite aspect of the book was the rituals that were added for each deity and that the book teaches you how you can easily work with them in your day to day life. If you're looking to thoroughly study deities of different religions you will probably want a more intensive book, but for an introduction or for casual reading this is a lovely option.

I quite enjoy the stories in this book, although I did find the connections and relationships to the various gods a little disjointed and hard to follow.
Absolutely loved the artwork in this book.
