All around Mother Earth there are people who believe in Angels. We may live in different countries, speak in different languages and have different customs, traditions and possibly religious beliefs, but believe in Angels we do! Some of us may 'see' Angels, some may 'sense' their presence or hear their gentle words, and yet others simply have 'faith' that Angels are real, that they exist and are here to help us and watch over us.

Here at our BSSK show, the Angels have kindly left their message of love and light.
Each Angel has gifted a beautiful coloured feather from their wings. The Angels of the Rays have left these exquisite feathers around the show on various tables, spreading their unconditional love, light and healing energy to everyone and everything. Can you find them?
Happy hunting!

Angelic Beliefs
In some cultures Angels are thought of as 'sacred messengers' between Heaven and Earth. They are thought of as helpers to all who live on Mother Earth - all animals, insects, fish, birds, bugs, all trees and flowers, everything that lives and breathes, all that grows, all that 'is' - from mountains to lakes, the sun and moon, the town flat or mud hut - all are watched over and protected by Angels.
In certain countries, people believe that we are each born with two Angels to guide us and watch over us. One Angel watches over us by day and the other by night throughout our lifetime. Yet other people believe that each time we chance upon a white feather, it is a gift and message from the Angels who wish to help us. Many people hold the belief that each and every one of us has a Guardian Angel. This Angel watches over us from our birth and throughout our lifetime. Many of us feel that our Guardian Angel is there to help us, to support and protect us and that they do this gladly and freely. It is a very comforting notion.
All around the world many people hold the belief that there are nine ranks of Angelic beings, each with jobs to do. These ranks are:
- Seraphim - Divine Love and Light - Associated with Archangel Metatron
- Cherubim - The Cosmic Beings - Associated with Archangel Raphael
- Thrones - Divine Justice - Associated with Jophiel Gabriel Azrael
- Dominions - Overseers of Lower Hierarchy - Associated with Zadkiel
- Virtues - Said to help people who need courage - Associated with Uriel and Cassiel
- Powers - Said to be protectors of our souls - Associated with Chamuel
- Principalities - The Guardians of Nations - Associated with Anael
- Archangels - Said to be messengers between Heaven and Earth - Associated with Michael
- Angels - Last in the hierarchy, but no less important. Angels are said to watch over everything. Their roles are many and varied and these angels number millions.
