Is the story in the book The Valkyries a true one?
The book’s central idea is true (meeting the angel), the journey to Mojave too, but much of what is written is fictionalized. Nevertheless, the most important episode – the meeting of the angel – really did happen, and I left a statue of the Lady of Aparecida in Glorieta Canyon, near Borrego Springs, CA.

Hi Adina, you should not …. be sorry for not being Irish!!! We are citizens of the Planet Earth and of course, Warriors of the Light here in Paulo Coelho’s Blog.
I mentioned above the stories with my Irish friends in order to show the long tradition in Ireland about the numbers Seven and Thirteen. something that I did not know. I had met those people, who came to Cyprus as tourists and the family of my husband were the owners and ..managers of a hotel on the beach in Limassol. I was lucky, I had the …happiness of meeting so many interesting people and, of course, to learn from different cultures.
To be interested in metaphysics and Divine, is not ..madness. You know, these topics are much investigated in many Universities in the whole World and even the phenomenon of death and after death experiences is the theme of many scientific books. Do you know that the Aura of our bodies-souls has been ‘photographed’ by the Kirlian photography? I have also read an article, that they found out that during prayer a white light covers our body and even healing has been noted? Just to know that ‘Explaining the Unexplained’ is a part of our lives.
LOVE,

Right…It is fascinating. Yap, coincidenses are not always just coincidenses.

Adina, its interesting to read about numbers because for quite a while I kept seeing 111 or 1111. I didn’t think anything of it but as it kept happening I then thought, man, this is bizarre. I know that if you set a number in your mind then its like you subconsciously look for it but I was never even thinking about this number, just kept popping up in front of my face.
Then one day I happened to look at my computer clock and it was 11.11 and my sister who lives on the other side of the country called me. The first words to come out of her mouth were that she had been having these bizarre occurrences of constantly seeing 111. I almost fell off my chair!!! lol We had not EVER talked about it.
So I decided to look it up on the internet and I came upon that Author who suggests that it is your angels kind of knocking on your door. I don’t remember anything life changing happening.
I thought about the Binary system and how it is made up of 0’s and 1’s. On and Off. And how the universe is like one great big computer and that the 1’s are like the messages of the universe turning on.

Hi, Thelma,
I am sorry but I not Irish,I used to be just a simple immigrant in Ireland. I am comming from an ex-communistic country, Romania.
Yes, former generaions in Ireland have large families, as the abortion was and is still forbidden. Irish nation had a large immigration in the past (meaning half of the country). Now they are from 8 milion only 4…and lots of immigrants. I was one. But I am back home now.
It is really interesting when you see so many coincidences in your own life. I really don’t care if someone would say: She is…lunatic. In the real life I do not share such private secrets with no-one, as most people are interested only in money, reputation, cars, clothes and exotic vacantions.
And they cannot make the difference that you can have both these “material” things and spiritual wealth. So, I don’t share too much. Here is like an island of spirituality, that’s why I am here.
Yes, just ask, and you will get it. It’s so easy.
Good evening,
Adina
Sorry spelling error above: psychic. These Greek words!!Ψυχικός!
Love,
Thelma
Dear Adina, so you are Irish!! I have had many Irish friends. One of them, from Dublin, was a physic and he had told me that he was the … 13th child of the family. Another one who ..could ‘read’ my thoughts had told me that he was ‘the seventh son of the seventh son’.
I feel so lucky I have had those experiences. It seems that when you are interested or ask for something .. there it comes to answer to our questions and doubts.
“Ask and you will receive”.
Love,
Thelma
I found this book in Ireland. In my homecountry I don’t think it is right at this moment.
There are also books about angels, written about certain authors, more or less credible. I have recently read a book called:”Therapy by angles” – by Doreen Virtue. Just bought it as I was bored. But, even if it looks like a pure commercial book, there are some ideas that are true. And also I found some interpretation of numbers that come into our life from time to time and communicate a message from angels. Well, I don’t know if it is really true or not, but I took a minute and thinked back to my life and associated with numbers 1 and 3, 0 (or combinations of them). And yes, these numbers were present when my dreams started to become true (see my post on “vitriol”topic): These are different days from different years:
13 – my future husband met me
13 – my future husband asked for my hand (a different day then the first one)
30 – my age when I was proposed
333 – the number of my marriage certificate
13 – I left my country to get a better life in Ireland
13 – my wedding day (the priest choose it)
13 – my house number (a perfect house in Ireland)
13 – my labour started and my son prepared to come out to the world
(he came out on 14 very early in the morning)
13 – baptising day of my son (the priest choose it)
13 – the birthday of the priest’s son
13 – the age of my husband, when his father died of cancer
13 – the day my own father died also of … cancer
almost 13 – I came back to my homecountry
33 – my actual age when I discovered Mr. Coelho’s blog…:)
13 – is today date and also the hour in the night I am just writting to you (00:13).
And I lost counting.
While being a teenager, everytime I watched the clock, it was one of these combinations. And I really was annoyed about it. I stoped watching the clock, thee computer clock, or numbers on the street.
There are some interesting stuff in this book about this numbers.
Sorry I divagated from the subject.
We call them “angels”. They are our friends. Great ones. But we forget they exist, while they do all our job on Earth. And we dare to think: “I did that. Wow, I am so cool. I am so kind. Iam so good. I am so wise. i passed my university exams just beacause my brain is great. I am somebody.” They help us daily and during nights. And protect us from great dangers.I could have died many time by now. But when it is about an accident to hapen and to loose my life,something protects me in that very second.
And then I say: “Oh yes, You tell me you love me. This is a message to me. Somebody up there loves me”.
I have a colleague. She suffered very much in her entire life, that’s why she hates God. one day she came to work all pale, as a car was about to kill her and her fiance. And I said: it is the moment to go to church. I wanted to tell her these:”If you are angry, just tell God with all your angry soul: I AM SO ANGRY WITH YOU. LOOK HOW MUCH I SUFFER, LOOK, I AM IN PAIN AND YOU DO NOTHING TO STOPE IT.I CANNOT FORGIVE YOU FOR MY PAIN”.
Believe me, God can manage angry people. I was one, a bad-bad one. One day I stoped going to church and exactly 5 years I never steped into one or pray or make the cross with my fingers or care about any God at all.
But, my best friend (soul mate, wise girl) said one day: do you want to come with me to St.Anthony’s Church? He does miracles. Look, Adina, you want to find another job, a better paid one, and you are looking for it for the past 5 years, and nothing happened.”. And I said: Er, I don’t know, I’m not sure…Ok, for you I will go, then we will have a drink, a cigarette, a salad, shopping.
I went there. Nothing special about the church, just very-very old one. Lots of people. Looots, rich, poor, mixed together.
After I steped out of it, my phone ringed: Hello, we are X company, you have sent yesterday a CV. Would you like to come to an interview?”. And the company was a great one. And I went to the first meeting, then to the second one, then to the final one … and they couldn’t pay me for what I need it. In that year my father died.
But look,something happened. And I said: I don’t want to go to church and do businesses with St.Anthony, meaning I pray, give money to the church and he solves my problems. But, starting that they, I visit St.Anthony every Tuesday of my life, for 3 years. After that, all my dreams come true.
Now my second son’s name is Anthony, in respect for his great help.
Now, a different think: in my homecountry, we have a custom: when your child gets 1 year old, mom gives him on a large plate different objects such asL gold, money, books, pens, perfumes, you name it… And it is said from our very old tradition that if the child will pick the first 3 objects from the plate, then his life will be conected with the meaning of those objects. Do you know what my Anthony picked up:
1. The Cross of Jesus – he just took it directly to his mouth as the most delicios think ever
2. My little Psalms Book of David – he cheweed it on one side
3. Pen (bellow the pen were coints that he took withaout the intention to have it).
He didn’t touch gold, or fly ticket or other common objects. So everyone in the house said: wow, he will be a priest.(said by people that don’t believe so much in spiritual crazy stuff)
Well, I don’t believe such thinks as the destinty of a child to be announced by some objects, it is just a tradition. And I don’t have religious objects in my house all over the place, but a single icon on the wall of Holly Mother, that my child could find anytime and be used to play with.
I bet every culture has its own customs. But we shouldn’t forget that traditions come from a past reality. Everything that exists is the effect of a cause. (I am an effect and I do have a cause).
Good night.
I am angry now,because I was searching that book here,and not found it.Is hard ,I will try again.Most of your books I read as soon they appear on the market,still I see some is not easy to find.So sorry about that.I really like angels,I beleieve they exist.
