This is a gift from a reader, Agnieska from Poland it is the painting of my guardian angel.
I wrote a book about angels I believe in angels. The book is called The Valkyries, it takes place in the Mojave Desert and there (and not only there) I had a very strong experience with angels.
Having said that: I want you to share in this forum your experience with angels.
Meaning, moments that you know that your angel is taking you out of trouble; moments that you know that your angel is helping you to get the things that you want.
And of course I want you to discuss with us your beliefs in angels. This very important because even though people talk a lot about angels, they are not truly paying attention. Normally because they dont notice that angels use other people to talk, to act for us.

I was in Toronto, travelling beyond reason and doubt, following my gut/heart for something I have been believing in. I had ended up in a hotel several blocks from my own and I walked in knowing what I wanted was near by although I was too unsure to push the issue much. I came into the hotel bar/restaurant and saw a person I was looking for but I didn’t want to bother them so I went straight to sit at the bar. As I walked toward a seat I saw a women comfortably sitting alone at a table by the bar, intently staring at me. I instantly felt like I was suppose to talk to her but instead I sat at the bar in a seat directly in front of her and it felt like she was still watching me. I sat there talking to people as they came and went for around 4 hours, time escaped me, I had failed to speak with the person I had come there for so I just waited. Eventually I turned around and the women was sitting there calmly, patiently, looking at me. I introduced myself spoke with her for about a min before joining her at her table. She seemed statuesque yet normal, but something was very different about her then a normal person despite her normal appearance, something commanding. We didn’t speak much, she just said a little about how good the food was (she had been eating there for hours). I said a few random things and she just looked intensely at me and said “It’s what makes you different that makes you great…I knew from the moment you walked in here that you knew exactly what you wanted.” she then immediately payed her bills, only offered me her name as Robyn, and said she had to go back to her room. In a split second she was gone, after all those hours of patiently waiting, she took off at the speed of light. Now from what I have heard in the past, you never know when you will come across an angel, they take human forms many times to communicate with us, but many of them from the stories I have heard they greatly enjoy human pleasures while they are on this “plane” such as food and even cigarettes. They look extremely average yet have a commanding unusual even unsettling presence. They are patient and will wait until they finish what God has sent them to do and they only say what God tells them they are suppose to, no more no less, then they leave in an instant. I hesitate to call my incident a meeting with an angel but she had answered a question I had asked myself for years about what it was that made me great (because I have always felt like I am meant to do something great) and I always treated it like I wasn’t great yet, but it was such a simple and true answer that coincided with many other things. Coupled with the other similar characteristics shortly there after I had begun to believe this was an angel.
I always read ever thing I see about angels. Yes, I believe in angels because they do exist, they are everywhere they even find parking space for me, clear the trafic I hear then giving me messages. These are only the simple things they do for me. I talk to them all day long, since I have been doing this my life is much easier and I am much happier. Few years ago I was at a job that I was not happy the energy was bad but I was affraid to leave the job and have no way to support myself. I asked the angels every morning for 3 weeks to help me getting out of there and to provide for me away to suppoert myself, I kept getting a message ” trust us we are here to help you”. One morning I came to work and had really bad chest pain and shortnes of breath which forced me to get up and go home then I decided to quit my jo. Then I moved in with my ex-mother in-law, she is 92 yrs old that needed a compannion, I take care of her in exchange for room and board and found a part time job 2 days a week at a office and everyone there believe in angels. I am happier now than before when I had a full time job making really,really good money.
I JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY STORY.
Ask the angels to help you only if you believe in them, they are always by your side awaiting for you to ask.

Creo profundamente en los angeles.Estoy segura que ellos estan siempre a nuestro lado para guiarnos en el camino.Me han sucedido encontrar varias señales en el correr de mi vida por eso es que dedique mi pequeña web a ellos nuestros amigos los seres de luz que iluminan y cuidan de nosotros dia a dia .De mas es decir que lei el libro de las Valquirias y me encanto.
Como todos tus otros libros que he leido dejando que vuele mi imaginacion y me trasporte a diferentes lugares
gracias por todo Dios lo bendiga
Paulo,
Primero, decirle, me encantan sus escritos, me transportan, me inspiran y me llenan de emociones. De pequeños, no nos comentan, mucho acerca de los ángeles, solo de la oración del Ángel de la Guarda. Tuve en una ocasión, un sueño con un Arcangel, sucesivamente, tuve un sueño relacionado. Sin antes, haber buscado sobre ellos, luego de eso, me interesé mucho en los temas relacionados. Pasan en mi vida, situaciones, en los cuales puedo sentir sus manos, o su presencia, acariciando y haciendo posible esos momentos, como señales de que están allí -como por ejemplo, entrar a su página y encontrar este tema en el foro, casualidad?… podría ser-. Aún así, pienso ahora, que existe algo que no he hallado todavía….
Dios lo bendiga, muy buenos escritos los suyos.

Fundamento: O escrito do autor acima tem fundamento: Ora se os anjos imperdoáveis porque pecaram, lançados no inferno e às cadeias da escuridão e reservados para o juízo, então o “anjos” que aparecem, que surgem do nada, vistos como “luz”, estão sendo induzindo, muitos a crerem e aceitarem e acreditarem como se fosse anjos de Deus, à acreditarem em algo que não é.
Devemos, com cuidado, discernir sobre os anjos, porque nas Sagradas Escrituras o apóstolo Paulo em segunda carta aos cristãos da cidade de Coríntios capítulo 11 e verso 14: “E não é maravilha, porque o próprio Satanaz se tranfigura em anjo de luz”. Pois com cautela deve-se provar diante dos escritos sagrados se os anjos que permeaiam pelo mundo afora são de Deus ou o anjo seja o próprio Satã. Como está escrito: “Porque, se Deus não perdoou aos anjos que pecaram, mas, havendo-os lançado no inferno, os entregou às cadeias da escuridão, ficando reservados para o juízo”. II Pedro 2:4.
Gracias, por este lindo articulo, me encantan sus libros, creo en los angeles, despues de todos las lecciones que he venido a aprender en esta vida, mi angel me acompaña y no me ha dejado que me suicide, siempre me sostiene cuando estoy deprimida. Se que no estoy sola. Gracias
I believe in Angels from the day I was born, I knew I had one watching over me. Since I remember my mother taught me the Angel prayer. Now I found myself talking and asking for help the Arch Angel Michele. It has been more than a year (“time”) since I asked Michele to guide me though life. I began to see that things will work out if you set an intent and trust in it.
PS
My Intuition = Guardian Angel always pay attention because I know is the way that the angels communicate with me, oh in dreams too.
Have fun!!) Love

The Angel Prayer in Romanian (I can not do a good English translation, Hope someone will be able to)
Înger, Îngeraşul meu
Ce mi te-a dat Dumnezeu
Roagă-te lui Dumnezeu
Pentru sufleţelul meu,
Totdeauna fii cu mine
Şi mă-nvaţă să fac bine,
Eu sunt mic, Tu fă-mă mare
Eu sunt slab, Tu fă-mă tare
În tot locul mă însoţeşte
Şi de rele mă păzeşte,
Totdeauna zi şi noapte
Până-n ceasul cel de moarte
Să mă curăţ de păcate
Îngeraş, trezeşte-mă!
Cruce, ocroteşte-mă!
Doamne, mântuieşte-mă!
Lumea noastră deci, în care
Cei mai mulţi au doar înfrângeri,
Plină este în toată clipa
De Dumnezeieştii Îngeri.
Şi îndeplinind porunca
De la Dumnezeu Prea Sfântul,
Unii dintre ei se-arata
Ca sa-i vadă şi Pământul.
Însă mii şi milioane
Nevăzuţi rămân mereu,
Stând pe oameni să-i înveţe
Vrerile lui Dumnezeu.
Ei se-arată numai celor
Miruiţi din Slavi Divine,
Care n-au venit pe lume
Să trăiască pentru sine.
Ci venit-au cu menirea
De la Dumnezeu Prea Înaltul,
Lepădându-se de sine
Să trăiască pentru altul.
Fiecărui stau de veghe
Câte unul zi şi noapte,
Şi ferice este acela
Care prinde-ale lui fapte
Ei ţes haine de lumină
Fiecăruia s-o poarte,
Pe pământ trăindu-şi viaţa
Cum şi dincolo de moarte.
Haine în care străluci-vom
Întru veşnicia vieţii
Precum stelele străluce,
Până-n zorii dimineţii.
Doamne, dă-mi spre ocrotire
Un Înger sfânt, Trimis Ceresc
Ca sub a lui aripa sfântă
În pace sa mă odihnesc.
Îngeraş, coboară lin
Lângă patul meu,
Somn uşor tu să-mi aduci
De la Dumnezeu.
Să adorm pe braţul tău
Dulce, drăgăstos
Până-n zori, când m-oi trezi
Dintr-un vis frumos.
Înger, Îngeraşul meu
Tu păzeşte-mă de rău
Şi du-mă la Dumnezeu!
Când seara tu te rogi copile,
Alături de măicuţa ta,
În jurul tău stau Îngeraşii,
Chiar dacă tu nu-i poţi vedea.
Când cânţi cântările frumoase
Ce Tatălui Ceresc ii plac,
Cu tine cântă Îngeraşii
Şi închinăciuni cu tine fac.
Ce fericiţi sunt Îngeraşii
Când tu eşti bun si silitor
Când cânţi şi când te rogi fierbinte
Ce mare-i bucuria lor.
Dar cât de mult se întristează
Când nu te rogi şi nu eşti bun,
Atunci se duc plângând la Domnul
Şi toate cu durere-i spun.
O, nu-ntrista pe Îngeraşii
Ce vin cu drag in jurul tău,
Ci cheamă-i să-ţi îndrume paşii
Să fii mai bun, mai bun, mereu.
Lumea lor de nu se vede
Nu înseamnă ca ea nu e,
Nici mireasma nu se vede
Dar din flori ea totuşi suie.
Chiar aşa e şi cu lumea
Îngerilor pe pământ
Ochii noştri nu văd Îngeri,
Printre noi, însă ei sunt!
Fiecare om în lume
Fiecare ins mereu,
Stă sub veghea ce i-o poartă
Îngerul lui Dumnezeu
Amin
Thank you, Loredana, for this wonderful, extended version of the prayer, I didn’t know it was so complex but now, reading these extra verses, I see that it indeed does justice to the angels guarding and protecting us!
Multumesc!
many times i have been told i am angel by others, for some reason i believe it is true. i know i have many angels surrounding me, i feel them at times and my dog sees them too- i can tell as she barks funny in the air at nothing. many times i ask for god to send a sign, and he does- if i pay attention, i see the signs he lay before me. i believe we all have the power to feel and believe in angels, i know they protect me and those i love dearly.
I have many experiences of angels or protective energy helping me along .
I had an operation booked ,but had stupidly drank a bit the day before and had a raging hangover ! I felt sick and drowsy. I knew in my heart general anaesthetic in my system would kill me ! I prayed all the way to the hospital ‘ if there is anyone up above stop the operation’ over and over I prayed in my head.
I told the doctors, they said go ahead with the operation you’ll be ok. I told the anaesthetist , they said go ahead you’ll be fine. But I knew I would die ! I prayed. I had the operation gown on . I prayed. It was my turn to be taken down. I still prayed. I was lifted into the operating trolley. Then someone walked over and said to us all ‘ I am afraid all oprations are cancelled the generators have just broken down ! ‘ I know my prayers were answered. Yet to understand why.
Dear Friend……..Every body have his own Angel, it Can not seen, reflects the personality…….. and help the solution critical stage & get wise decision……..some times Angel will talk to us with absent mind ……shape our thoughts & creations……only we need the patience & peaceful…mind….. Love….
Angel… a person , voice or a dream…. has carved path of my life and I am very happy and mentally at peace today …the beautiful shape my life has taken…its more than what I could have asked for or what I could have even thought about it… Thanks to all driving force behind it….
ESTOY SEGURA QUE EXISTEN LOS ANGELES DIBUJADOS EN LOS MOMENTOS DEFICILES EN FORMA DE PERSONAS NORMALES QUE NOS DAN UN CONSEJO QUE NOS AYUDAN A CAMINAR EN LA OBSCURIDAD QUE NOS LIBRAN DE TEMPESTADES QUE NOS DAN AMOR Y COMPREENSION Y TU POR EJEMPLO ERES TAMBIEN UN ANGEL DISFRAZADO DE ESCRITOR PORQUE MEDIANTE TUS LIBROS HE APRENDIDO MUCHO DE LA VIDA Y TAMBIEN LO QUE QUIERO SER NO MAS SUFRIMIENTO NO MAS ANSIEDAD VIVIR CADA DIA COMO SI FUERA EL PRIMERO
I decided to upload a photo dedicated to Paulo and to all who seek the Light. I believe in Angels. I can not explain it with words. But I can do it with art.

A dream making image! I love your description of the word “thoira” and angels are everywhere! Thank you, Fontinos. good thoughts & smiles, karen
Up until a couple a months ago If you asked me if I believed in angles my answer would have being on the skeptical side. When I was very young my mother taught me a prayer, you probalbly know it “Angel de la guarda dulce compania no me desampares ni de noche ni de dia si me desamparas que sera de mi angelito mio apiadate de mi”. For some reason everytime I was scared in the darkness of the night I would recite my prayer and feel a warm feeling inside me and all my fears would go away. After a while, and like you explain in the Valkiries, I grew up and forgat all about this. And until recently I wasnt in touch with my guardian angel all though I always felt his present near me in time of need. Recently I started to get in touch with him and to my surpise if feels like my soul is overwhelmed with great joy. Just yesterday I was in the beach on a cloudy day, sitting with a long time friend with whom I had lost contact for a while. My friend left my side to speak with a co-worker that was seated nearby. I started to meditate and just sat there watching the ocean and the sky and the wonderful day I was having. Out of nowhere this man walking across me came to a halt. I noded and smiled at him he did the same. He then aproached me and started speaking he was and old man with a white hair and beard. He ask me a few questions and we kept on speaking for a long while. Something that jumped out was I interupted him because I wanted to tell him my name and I also wanted to know him. To my very surprise his name was Diomedes, which might be a common name in Greece but not in Puerto Rico. He told he was from the Dominican Republic, and that he had always walked that beach for the last 40 years of his life. He told me I knew him and that we had met before. It was all strange I had never seen this man before yet everything about him seem familiar. We spoke about different subject and I quickly learned that like Santiago this man had already discovered the universal language of the world. It was a great expirienced, many things I learned from this somewhat familiar stranger. After we said goodbye I quickly took me celphone out as I felt the need to know more about his name Diomedes which to my surprise is he who is god like or in greek mythology is he who is advised be Zeus. If you ask me today if I believe in angels my answer would be YES, ive learned so much is so little time and I also learned that they are always trying to tells us something be it is us who decide to listen or decide to look away. Thanks Paulo I wish you good health and hope to keep reading many of your books.
beautiful…
really awsum and beautiful….
I have recently started searching my angle. Though I have realised that he/she is near me at times, at times smiling at times looking at me as if he/she wants me to find him/her as soon as possible. But I dont know how to find him. I am reading the valkyries and during this only I realised that I need to find my angel as well.There exist an angel for me as well and I need to find him/ her as soon as possible.
But I want answer to following questions of mine since I am at very early stage of my hunt:-
what is the connection between me and my angel?
Why do everyone has an angel?
how to communicate with him?
I am on the path and i have signs that he/she is there… but just need some questions to be answered…
help me
I think you do not need to find him,he finds you.
What is the connection between you and your angel?Love
Why everyone has an angel?Not everyone has and some have several too.Some comes later in life,some where always there.
How to communicate with him?You do that everyday!!!Via music,via silence,via watching a beautiful sky,via having a great conversation with a stranger,via loving…
Blessings <3
Hier, juste après avoir terminé la lecture des récits :” Comme le fleuve qui coule ” (Ser como o rio que flui), des récits que j’ai beaucoup aimés, une amie m’a invitée à aller nager dans une rivière. Il fait très chaud dans le Nord de l’Ontario en ce moment. Je saute à l’eau. Je nage sur le dos, le courant m’emporte et je me retrouve la tête coincée dans les branches d’un arbre tombé à l’eau. Je bois une tasse d’eau de la rivière, je retrouve mon souffle et je trouve à côté de moi, un adolescent, beau comme un ange, qui me prête main-forte. Mon amie et son chien couraient sur la rive pour m’aider aussi, De plus, un gilet de sauvetage flottant à la dérive passait à côté de moi, et ce sur une plage quasi déserte. Tout cela pour dire que je crois aux anges. Mon ange gardien a dû faire des heures supplémentaires depuis ma naissance, et beaucoup d’autres anges se sont joints à lui au fil des ans. Merci à tous les anges et à tous ceux qui y croient.
Claro que creo en los ángeles, porque yo tengo un Angel Guardián que me acompaña cada instante de mi vida… El me desvía del camino si hay un peligro que me acecha, El me cuida y me protege… me habla en mis silencios, me arrulla en mi cansancio, me alegra en mi tristeza, me equilibra en mi abundancia. El siempre me dirige en el largo camino de la vida… cada segundo… a cada instante..
Claro que creo en Angeles porque yo tengo un Angel, mi Angel Guardián que me ama y que siempre me acompaña…
Como entonces no creer en Angeles?
I agree: Children are born and are angels. Later they become adults. Some adults still have a limited access to their own childhood, the “child within the adult”. HOMO LUDENS means trying to discover and access your “child soul” (HESSE), keeping in touch with the child you once were. This is why therapy sometimes works! I try to keep in touch with my daughter, who died in a car accident when 19, and I am sure she is an angel again or even reborn. Sometimes she tries to get in touch with me in my dreams and after these dreams I try to find out her messages. Whether this is “true” or not does not bother me: It just helps and is most wonderful!
I once had a dream that Vishnu and St Michael the Archangel defended me against demons / fallen angels. I’ve a few times felt the silent sweetness of angels being around, calling on them, thanking them for what they’ve all done that is unseen by us humans.. unless we have our 3rd eye opened!! :D
My Angel, I saw the light many times, everytime I’m falling down and the last time I saw on my dream a child hiding in the house and she run away, went into the light door and lead me to that light and I followed her. So, finally for the last time I saw my Angel almost year now, before I went back to my country….she said I should go back beacuse there’s I leave that little child of mine…and last night my dream is about woman in white clothes but I saw she fall down I try to help her but she refused, so I went away and I contenue biking and I know she is behind and following me…but I have feelings that she change in color like black dress ….but anaway is just a dream…sometimes doesn’t means anything, so Im not bothered about it…
whenever i’m sad, depressed, frightened, frustrated, i draw a girl with long curly hair, her hands thrown back melting into huge colored wings, her head thrown up, her hair an entangled mass about her face, her eyes are closed,tears dropping away…..
i’ve drawn her over n over many times, but until now, i’d never questioned myself if she was my angel, crying with me as i cried…..
i myself, am a mass of curly hair, confusion and wild dreams, so i’d always thought i’m drawing myself wanting to break away, fly off,live in carefree abandonment…..
another reason why i never thought of her as my angel is i’d always imagined that i prayed to a wrinkled old man with laughing eyes and a locks of snowy white beard…..
an angel………i dunno……i believe in belief, rather…
sometimes, i believe in angels…
sometimes, i believe in destiny…
sometimes, i believe in god…
sometimes, i believe in myself, for i know “hamsha” (or “i am that”)…
it is belief, that gets us through…..
And in that belief is Destiny, Angels, Hamsha and GOD.
Hello Mr. Coelho,
The past year and a half I was attending a University in Oregon, which was not only expensive, but did not cater to my interests’, joys, or hobbies. Several times before leaving to Oregon I had been asked to choreograph routines for several artists, but always passed up the offer because getting a college degree seemed more important. Once in Oregon, a dance professor told me to consider majoring in dance… I ignored her. A year passed and I had not made either dance teams at the college. Needless to say, I fell into a deep depression.
As Fall semester came around I was having frequent run ins with friends asking if I was still dancing. One friend ever said after “do what makes you happy.” I then went to Los Angeles to support my boyfriends football game and while at a dance studio, a young woman began networking with me and said these simple words again “do what makes you happy.” It took me many months after to relieve myself of a toxic relationship and unhealthy attachment to my college degree in order to begin dancing in Los Angeles.
Just last week, a teacher of mine invited me to an audition for a music video she is choreographing. The year has been chaotic to say the least and I have forgone many blessings and guides. After reading The Alchemist I am able to say yes to my blessings and allow more to enter. I will continue to “do what makes me happy” and see where I land.
Thank you.
Alysha Webb
I respect this story and thank you for writing it, I have experienced depression and anxiety and I know for sure that it has its roots in not listening to your heart but by doing what you think others expect you to do
Hopefully I will learn to do the things that “makes me happy” too! as I want to improve my soul and my life and ne a better human being
Thank you to you all

HI
I am khalid.I read all the above comments and found them very inspiring and had a joyful reading .Un fortunality i never got a chance to meet an angel.But i wish to see that.
querido Paulo:
terminé de leer el libro de las valkirias hace muy poco y con lágrimas en los ojos,yo siempre he creido en los ángeles,he soñado con mi ángel en momentos de peligro y desesperación,a veces lo siento cerca y cuando volteo a mirar no veo nada pero sé que él está ahí,no creo en las coincidencias si no como diría un amigo mio que ya falleció en las “diosidencias” y en que la mano de este mi ángel está ahí detrás de ellas,solo desearía saber como comunicarme con él y me pregunto si el sabrá la profundidad de mi amor
Dear Paulo Coelho
I agree with you. It is unfortunate that many people do not see that our angels are guiding us the whole time, just because we are e.g. being guided through other people, as you mention. It is not always easy to see their guiding and the reason for it in a bigger perspective. The guiding from above does not always have to seem the least bit magic to be coming from above. I believe that there is a purpose with everything in life, and I often feel when something has been “set up”, but it can often be hard to see in the moment, because one has not yet learned, what has to be learned.
You ask for experiences with angels, moments that you know that your angel is there for you. I have many experiences with angels since I talk to them every day. I have not always been able to see my angels, but before I believed just as strongly in them, because I felt their presence and guiding. I experienced their help when asking for it, often miracles, which gave me a belief so strong, that it could not be moved.
One example of my angels indirect guiding, is regarding a situation not dating further back than a month ago. After having finished school, I had a dream of traveling somewhere to experience something* that I had thought of for a long time, but that had not been possible until then. Most people near me thought that it was a stupid idea, but it was my dream, so I decided to follow it. I was incredibly happy and did not regret my decision one second. Until a person started changing. Everything changed. Everything got darker and darker, and I got more and more used to it. The person became more and more mean to me, which resulted in me developping something close to a depression. I am usually a positive person and try to see the best in even the little things in life, but all of a sudden this side of me vanished. The person dragged me down with her negative energies. Along with this, also my big imagination and creativity seemed to slowly disappear. The problem was, that I am stubborn and I wouldn’t let the person “win”. I wanted to teach them a lesson, since no one else near the person dared to. I had planned on being there for 8 months, but as 5 months had passed I was as down as a human being can be. Everyone I know told me to go, but I would not. In the end I was so drained from energy that I did not have much strength back. As I would have normally been able to get out of a situation like that without problem, I needed strength, and I did what I could to get it. But I didn’t get it. When it seemed the worst I got a phone call from my father, which surprised me. It was the first time within those 5 months that he had contacted me, and after talking to me he commanded me to come home, and that right away! This too surprised me since he would have normally tried to talk me out of it, telling me to give it another chance etc. Everyone I knew had told me, but having my dad tell me all of a sudden opened my eyes and gave me strength to go. I now see why I had to go through what I did, the lessons I needed to learn, but I stayed too long, which I am unfortunately still dealing with. Believe it or not – the negative energies even influenced the connection with my angels. All of a sudden I did not have the power to talk to them anymore. But they heard me and my feelings and knew that they had to help me, since I would not be able to get out of the situation myself. When I look back at the experience today, I see their help very clearly. They tried to help me regarding the person, but nothing was to be done, so I needed to be guided away from the situation that had become dangerous to me physically/mentally.
My angels knew, that the only person who would be able to help me get out of the situation was my father, so they guided me though him.
If my angels had not helped me, I would have still been there, and I shiver thinking of the state that I would have been in by now. Because I had gotten used to feeling bad and could no longer see the good in things.
It has been the hardest experience in my life on all levels at once, however I am now happy of having been through it, seen with my “old” eyes, wiser. It is amazing to learn, not only afterwards having learned, but being in it. It is a wonderful feeling feeling that one is growing. Growing up with “normal” family and friends, who to enjoy life when they are learning, I am happy to having been able to believe on myself on that point. I have been very happy of having it confirmed, in e.g. “The Pilgrimage”.
When reading it I could not help thinking about how lucky you have been to meet the guide you did. But that is a way that you had to be led. I think the chances of having the same experiences as you did today are not very big, but I would like to go on a pilgrimage anyhow, inspired by your book.
As well as the fact that many people do not think about our angels making people cross our way on purpose, many do not give it much thought either, that they themselves are being used to interfere and help in other peoples lives!
This can sometimes be harder to notice, but one can always, if not at least a little after, see the purpose. Have you felt this?
The latest example of my angels guiding I can give you, is having guided me to your blog, which i did not know existed. I thought that you were like most other authors, who are very far from their audience. I long for deep subejct, and I cannot wait to read all of your blogs. I wish there were more deep people as you.
Thank you for your wonderful inspiring words.
I wish I will be able to follow my dreams as you have.

*I wish I could give more details.
I am where you were before…there is a battle going on inside me. I don’t know if i should totally let go of this person and not communicate with him anymore or remain as friends and let him point out all my weaknesses and mistakes. How do you see the light at the end of the tunnel?
Dear Paulo,
I know that as a young girl i communed with the angels without trouble. I then inevitably i grew up and i believe more than anything, with the transition from youth to adulthood we lose sight of these visions due to an inherent fear of judgment… this Process saddens me, although, when the process of remembrance sets it, it is a delighful realization to know that it is all inherently within us.
I have read nearly all your books, with the exeption of one or two, and as an aspiring writer i cannot sufficiently describe their value, both in my writing and my spiritual journey, which do in fact, go hand in hand. “slowly those two worlds merge and become one…”
I was exceptionally touched by your shared journey with your wife with the Valkyries – and found it sparked within me a great fascination for your life partner, which is beautiful.
I myself, have patiently been awaiting the arrival of my teacher, and am in a beautiful process of bridging into the world of angels currently. whilst waiting, i have found great value in your teachings, and through many of your words my angels have made themselves heard.
I live connected to life with a narrative perception of all that is – and i dream of sharing that with the world one day.
And I am delighted to say that in recent months i have actively participated in every effort to realize that dream, of the limitless, beautiful little girl living within me. together we will join the worlds of angels and men, the time is near, the motion escelating by the day. Feel it. Live it. Be it…
Love and light.
we are all angels experiencing life but we will all go home
…aand i am an angel longing to go back Home…
I once heard
An angel remark
That the same people
Came to the Pearly Gates
Time and time
Again
Collecting
A bit more stardust
On each and every trip
So that we can
All dream of Heaven
On Earth
Xcellent poem
Love to share this as it is so beautiful,
i have a strong fascination about angels, i draw them… a lot. in different forms even, the good, the bad, the ordinary and the extraordinary. i don’t know why i can’t stop drawing them. but yes, i believe in Angels.
I believe in angelssss….they follow us and guide us…wejust need to call them,dore them and ask them for help every other day,every other minute every other hour….
Es un ser al servicio de Dios, eternamente amoroso, leal, valeroso muchas veces callado ante nuestras malas formas de ser y actuar pero otras valeroso ante nuestras adversidades. mi ángel, me consuela lo mismo que en el silencio la algarabia, tristeza….
I met an Angel in an Irish Pub in Germany. It took me a little while to see her for what she was. After all, who would expect to see an Angel in a bar? She had a masculine bone structure which made her kind of androgynous though still quite fetching. She had short curly light brown hair and typically wore a long multi colored sweater, which I later learned was the traditional garb worn by Angels appearing in Germany. And of course her name was Celeste. Celeste and I talked over a variety of mundane topics over five or six encounters. One time I met her while she was editing pictures of her vacation in Rome on her PC. Another time I disparaged President Bush for his foolishness, and while she mildly concurred, she lauded his faith. She often had books with her with feminist topics, though I don’t remember the titles. She once warned me about a problem I might encounter concerning my employer’s integrity. That problem turned out to be true to a degree I never would have anticipated. Once we played in the pub trivia contest and won – mostly due to her medical knowledge. When I tell this story people often ask me if she had wings. I always replied she kept them stored away, for if she unfolded them she’d destroy the whole bar. She was a flight surgeon in the US Air Force. I soon lost my job and had to move – a result of her unheeded warning. But the wonder from meeting a Angel in a pub did much to sustain me in the stressful months that followed.
Pretty story
intersting and worth reading…….

really Mr.Paulo i learned from u much ! thanQ u r really an angel to me !
Dear Paulo Coelho,
Thank you for your new book – Schutzengel- ! “Denn dein Verstand ist Licht. Dein Wille ist Wahrhaftigkeit und Gerechtigkeit. Du liebst mit stets gleicher Stärke das Gute nur, und deine Werke sind Ordnung und Vollkommenheit. O, bilde mich nach dir,–” (Martin Heidegger) I had to tell you this…
I know I have an angel close by… I can feel. I know my Angel’s name. It was whispered into my ear one day while I was on the cross-trainer in the gym, trying to drown my thoughts in the loud music. It was shocking, at first. But then I believed and accepted it without doubt.
Since the day I started to talk to my angels………I don’t feel alone anymore.
Dear Paulo,
I believe there is an Angel.Its name is Rama/Krishna/Vishnu/Sita/Lakshmi(I am from India).Name is immaterial.
When I was about to take the most important decision of my life, that of choosing a life partner,I prayed to my Angel and asked for guidance.And I have the most blissful marriage now.I will not say my life partner is perfect, but we are made for each other.
Whenever I am faced with a tough decision,I pray to my Angel and I receive guidance.
Once when I was a child and knew nothing of Angels,my Angel came to my aid on a dark deserted road and helped me with something I never could have managed myself.My Angel came in the form of a small child.I will never forget the way the child slipped its tiny hand into mine,smiled, and led me to where help could be gotten.As soon as help was received, I looked around and the child had disappeared.Just across the road,I saw a temple.
I do believe in Angels with all my heart.
I am grateful to you for inviting everyone to share their experiences with Angels.
Have a good day.
-Samyukta.
Sssh… Listen…now…!
It’s all an angel’s conspiracy!!!
All of us do make we were born to do…
We just die not knowing we did so…
I believe in angels from deep within my heart, they walk among people very vivid, very touchable, they take care of body and soul of those who let them in… they are very powerful and help whenever they can, it’s people who decide if they let their angel be a healig force, or they deny powers higher than human perception, what makes them slowly slip into darkness of guilt; anyway, each voice calling for help will be heard, as LOVE is always listening, so it’s never late O:)
From my own experience, communication with angels starts if u recognise they are there, i cannot describe it because it cannot be compared to earthly things but when u choose to acknowledge your angel you will feel their angelic presence frequently if u look for the signs that may come as a feeling of courage, happiness, love,calmness, music, butterflies, each individual experience is different, all u need to do is ask and trust that they will come and u will see how everything around you will shift,life is so extraordinary and magical when you operate from this high vibrating energy in which everything is possible and things become simple. when you believe you make it happen as u create your own realiy x
Minha experiência com os ANJOS em especial ARCANJO MIGUEL, foi de uma sintonia espetacular.
Fui salva por Ele e ainda hoje o sinto perto.
Com Amor e Zelo,
Andréa

I belive in angels
They really help us in difficult times
but unfortunally
we don’t see this help
i belive in angel but the only problem i have is that,i dont recognise the voice sometimes and sometimes i may come to realise that i heard a voice because what i heard will come to pass but it could have been late. pls,can you help me out if there is anything to do in other to acknoledge my angel or hear his voice clearly. THANKS.
Dear Yemi
I have been studying how to comunicated better with them, and the best way is to open your heart first and when you want their help or guide , ASK THEM to be more obvious on the way they answer you.
I use too “angel’s cards”, try to find some angel’s books at your local bookstore, some come with cards and the way to use them. Trust me if you believe deeply in your heart you’ll feel and hear them better.
Angels to you and good luck!
Thank you, for making us focus even more on the Angels.
Theese Beautiful, Beautiful beings.
They help me put my babies safely to sleep at night, they make me say the right things at the right times- just using my lips and voice. They make me stop- or go – just in time. Their messages come through any mouth, any movement, any sensation. I ve made my ears enormously big, in order to hear them.(; And my emotions very open. Only two weeks ago, one of them spoke to me through a friend, who in a second showed me my path from here. In moments of dispair, I look at the faces of my children, and I see the Angels smiling to and reassuring me, that all is Love.
Thank you for your deep inspitation, Mr Paulo. God bless you.
I had an angel experience when I was being beaten by my now ex-husband… During the ordeal I heard a voice within me saying that I should keep calm and that everything would be alright… It gave me the strength not only to withstand the beating but also to make the changes within myself to leave the situation I was in… I had read the Valkyries only weeks before this event and believe it was something I had to go through in order that I may move toward a better understanding of the situation I was in and to move out of it into a better life… ;0)
hi, i’m italian so my english is not so good,hope u can understand what i wanna say.
i’m 30 years old and when i was 18 i’ve had reiki experiences and, since then i start to feel my Gurdian Angel touching my hands.
I belive in them, and every moment in my day i talk to them expecially when i feel sad or i don’t have a good moment.
They protect us, but i don’t undenstand why, considering that we humans somentimes we act in bad or wierd ways.
I love them and i know that they are alway there for us, even when we feel lost and we think they abandon us, they don’t, they are always there for us, we just have to pay attention and we’ll see them signs.
Chiara
Dear sir,
The book, The Valkyries, seemed to have brought back lots of memories. I now understand why I can hear a voice clearest during sunset until the first stars arrive. But I am still confused. Is that voice my second mind or my angel or God? How do you know that it’s your angel?
Both speak to me without me controlling them. Both answer with things I couldn’t have known. Is the non-sunlight light I see my angel?
Sorry if this is a bit off topic since you are asking for experiences.
Thank you for saving my life sir. :)
Yes I believed their is an Angel, because if not I’m no longer existing anymore. And I believed, every child’s born are Angels because they are innocent…
