Very inspiring book with a lot of very interesting techniques for working with archangels and goddesses. Forex. Affirmations are given to offer you "negative" as well as positive approach, and it is very liberating and uplifting teaching. But, due to kinda many exercises and methods book can be sometimes "overwhelming and rigid", so maybe it is best to approach with care. Also This book will offer you the beautiful and mystical gift of "love" and it is specially written for those more inclined toward "feminine" views, though it can be used by all who approach it with respect.
After reading Crystal Pomeroy's book, which I bought, I would like to clarify that the it’s an extensive, serious and very brilliant investigation, tracing the roots of the 7 archangels in world goddesses. It shares many ways to work with them and increase my spiritual and healing powers. As a healer myself, I appreciate this, particularly in these times. The text amazes with a clear and honest vision of the spiritual world. Taking into account that the author is a scholar on the subject and whose application of angelic forces has reported highly successful results in her healing practices, as well as the use of angelic contacts, it seems to me that the book is a joyful gift for those kind spirits who seek high practices that are intentionally detached from a religious context. My sincere congratulations to the author. I hope she will consider continuing to write on the topic of the sacred feminine and help us to direct sacred energy to build a loving future for our planet.

I hate to begin my relationship with a beloved publisher on such a sour note, but unfortunately Angels and Goddesses just doesn't cut the mustard. Frankly, there is just so much in this book that I disagree with. As a witch who lives with bipolar disorder and chronic illness, I vehemently disagree with the idea that mental and physical illness is due to negative entities which needs to be banished, something the author speaks about in Chapter Two. It implies that these things are controllable with positive thinking. While thinking positively can have an effect on our mental and physical health, it is not enough to cure people. Implying that negative entities (like demons, for example) are the cause of our ailments is dangerous and irresponsible. And while the author does have a disclaimer at the beginning of the book to use her advice in concert with conventional medicine, it doesn't remove the need for the author to wield her words and ideas responsibly.
I also find it odd that the author has, in essence, created her own feminine archangels by taking several goddesses that share similar traits and coalesced them into an archetype that she then labels as the twin flame to actual, well-known masculine archangels. And then she uses all of these goddesses interchangeably, removed from their pantheons, cultures, and religions, which is incredibly appropriative. She also divorces the archangels from their Abrahamic roots, stating that they existed before religion. While angelic entities are present in many religions, albeit in differing forms, the archangels she chose for the book are, in fact, pulled directly from Abrahamic faiths, prominently Christianity and Judaism. As someone who works with Judeo-Christian figures in her practice, I don't mind their inclusion in the book, but I do wonder why the author chooses to erase their roots.
There are also other things that I can't personally support, such as statements about the "mass hysteria around danger for women" or the appropriation of practices and concepts such as mandalas and chakras while divorcing them from Hinduism for mass consumption without context. This book is also essentially Christian faith healing in New Age-y clothing, with a side of prosperity gospel. So many of the toxic parts of Christianity that people long to leave behind and actively are working to deconstruct show up in this book under the guise of New Age spirituality, but are just as harmful divorced from religious trappings.
I did appreciate how much the author focused on the divine feminine and how tapping into sacred femininity was important for and attainable for both men and women. However, those passages were a small part of a far larger, messier work. The concept for the book seems like a good one, and I'd love to see a book that connects angels and deities written by a much more thoughtful, reverent author. This one, unfortunately, just wasn't it.
I cannot in good faith recommend this book, but I do think it can spark a larger conversation in the spiritual community about things like toxic spirituality, science vs. faith, and cultural appropriation, among other things.
If you want to connect with angels, this books is for you! Not only will it take you through how to connect with angles, but also how to connect with their twin flame goddesses. I certainly had never been taught about the twin flame goddesses and this book not only introduces you to them, but provides you with a list of seven angels and their goddess. This is truly a great book that will help you get started and provides just how to do it. Connect and prosper from these connections. A great book for anyone who is interested expanding and connecting on a completely different level.
I was shocked to see bad reviews on this book, which I found to be well-researched and a valuable resource. The connections between archangels and goddesses are amazing and beautifully explained. The deep affirmations are already making a difference in my vibration and situations. As a woman, artist and author myself, it made me feel empowered and equipped to continue to manifest my own unique path. I have it on Kindle and preordered the physical copy. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Not since the early days of Doreen Virtue has an author come along with the knowledge and experience to train others how to communicate with angels. Crystal Pomeroy takes it one step further with her profound teaching of angelic Intelligence.
Angels and Goddesses explains how connecting with archangels and their twin flame goddesses can enhance all aspects of life. Crystal’s extensive knowledge of the goddesses from all historical backgrounds in a variety of world cultures adds depth to this extensive work. She includes dozens of easy to follow hands-on invocations, prayers, mandalas, visualizations, and rituals throughout the book, which is designed to help one experience their hidden gifts.
I believe that this book will be a powerful tool in my spiritual evolution. I haven't actually got started on many of the practical elements yet but I'm looking forward to getting started. Alot of them remind me of pagan rituals and feel very scared and sweet. I've used the affirmations alot and I feel great power from them. Clearly this book has been a gift from the divine to help all those on the quest for spiritual enlightenment. Thank you Crystal for your work and dedication with the Angels and most importantly thank you Angels and Thank you Great Mother 🙏🥰
I would recommend this book to anyone looking to combined spirituality to a nature based religion. The main question most have once they realize they are searching for communion with a greater source is where to start looking to find your God/dess... l think the author did a nice job incorporating the angels and goddesses together it is a very comfortable way to start spiritually, especially if your like me leaving behind a very fear based religion but harboring fear about just what if fear has it right... watch out hell! This author does a really good job explaining why and how the angels and goddesses are chosen and used in the rituals given within this book and gives you a starting place to enrich your life with spiritually. Although it is just a starting place it is a great one. I believe the content in this book helps you find strength too leap back into the unknown to find your true path in life. Thank you Crystal Pomeroy this book fills a very empty place where so many 101 how to books never try too touch on; you where able to combined spiritual workings back into the lives of some many that has had way to much "religion".
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Judging from my one star, I didn’t like this book AT ALL. After Chapter 3, I started skimming once I realized that I couldn’t understand the storytelling logic. There were jumps in the chapters that didn’t make sense and messed with the flow.
It was more New Agey than I was expecting. There was less focus on the goddesses than I was expecting (especially since it’s in the title).
There was more ritual work than background information on the angels or goddesses. From its presentation, I was expecting this book to be a reference book when it was really about manifesting.
There was a mention of a Mary in one chapter but didn’t mention which Mary (if referring to any of the many Marys in Christianity). Also, it felt like it removed the Christianity that is placed with Angels (I’m unsure of Judaism and Islam since I’m not as familiar). I would have taken any of the Abrahamic religions being mentioned but instead, closed practices are brought up and told to use.
Ultimately, I was expecting one thing and it ended up being too “Live, Laugh, Love” for my taste.
Angels and Goddesses by Crystal Pomeroy is a subject I have thought about over the years and wish someone would incorporate the two into an oracle deck. After reading this book, you can see how powerful and beautiful that would be. This book has given me new ideas on how to combine these two energies to enhance my spiritual rituals. I found the history to be fascinating, and it added to the knowledge, you need to work with each one on a personal level. Self care, affirmations and self-doubt help are all covered beautifully in this book. Angels and Goddesses by Crystal Pomeroy will be a perfect reference book in my library.#AngelsandGoddesses #NetGalley
Are you looking to tune into your angels and their goddesses? Are you looking to tune into your intuition more? Crystal Pomeroy has hands-on invocations, affirmations, visualizations, and rituals that are easy to follow and very hands-on. She also provides instructions for healing, a dream journal, and more. This is a fun and interesting book.
This book has left me feeling confused. I went into this book with great expectations and yet it has left me feeling disappointed but I can't quite put my finger on why. I think I will have to reread it at some point to see if I can figure out why.
