Unique Divination Tool, May 10, 2006
This review is from: Angel Guidance Board (Misc. Supplies)
"The Angel Guidance Board will help you receive answers and messages for yourself and others. This is not a game board; it's a powerful tool to help you connect with the angels." - Doreen Virtue
Angel therapist Doreen Virtue has created several oracle decks to aid individuals in contacting angels, goddesses, saints, and the Higher Self. Adding to these divinatory aids, she has now created a unique, accessible oracle called the Angel Guidance Board.
Measuring approximately 19.5 x 19.5 inches, the glossy, sturdy board comes folded in the box, in addition to a pair of crystal dice, four colored angel markers to move along the board, and a 49-page companion booklet.
There are twelve "spokes" to the circular wheel in the center of the board, each representing various areas of life or forms of inquiry. These twelve paths are:
* Home
* Romance
* Money
* Career
* Life Purpose
* Children
* Family and Friends
* Health
* Spiritual path
* Psychic Development
* Yes or No
* When Will it Happen?
After consecrating the Angel Guidance Board and quieting one's spirit, the querent then focuses on the question or concern while looking over the twelve paths. Some questions cover one area of life, while others may cover four different areas, so it's important to decide which path/s you'd like to explore for insight.
For example, if you're pondering a change of career and you have a family, you'd likely want to consult the areas you feel will be affected-such as Career, Life Purpose, Money, and Children. If you'd like to know how the switch would affect your marriage, for example, you'd consult Romance, as well.
Taking one path at a time, place 1-4 angel markers at the center of the board, focus on the name of the angel at the base of the path, jiggle the die in your hands, and then roll them on the board or a flat surface. Move the angel marker along the path according to the number your rolled. Then, look up the word in the booklet to discover the wisdom the angels have for you. If you're seeking insight on more paths as it relates to your question, then roll again and move the angel marker accordingly-until you've followed all the paths that you've predetermined as relevant to your query. The combined messages will give you a comprehensive commentary about your concern.
Before opening the box, I admit that I wasn't expecting much. An Angel Guidance Board sounded a bit "fluffy", so I wondered if it would be a general, superficial attempt at being a genuine oracle. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this divinatory tool is accurate and quite precise, in addition to being attractive and easy-to-use.
I've used this oracle several times, and each time it has been specific, comforting, and accurate. However, one time I used it for a Life Purpose question and I thought I got a "wrong" answer. I couldn't understand why my other queries were answered so specifically and insightfully...but not that one. So before I began writing this review, I thought I'd look up the insight once again. I was floored to realize that I had somehow misread the entry (thinking it was only speaking of technical writing in terms of science), when, in fact, it was also addressing using computer skills (such as webmastery) to bridge technology (computers) with esoteric information-blending science with spirituality to help others. This is *exactly* what I do when I write reviews and post them on the web! Turns out this bit of guidance was an amazingly accurate confirmation that I'm exactly on schedule with the path I've chosen!
The Angel Guidance Board is a beautiful, practical oracle for seeking insight from the angels regarding both mundane situations and deep spiritual concerns. Colored blue, green, purple, and amber, the hard plastic angel markers are adorable. (This may sound corny, but there is an irregular bubble inside each of the angels, and I think of them as "bubbles of joy"!) The crystal die are beautiful, combining clear and frosted glass. They are nestled in a bed of purple velvet, so this kit appeals to the eyes as well as the spirit. The Angel Guidance Board would make a wonderful gift for those who enjoy consulting oracles, as well as for those seeking the nurturing, supportive voice of the angelic realm.

Awesome! Highly Recommended for Accurate Readings!, November 21, 2006
This review is from: Angel Guidance Board (Misc. Supplies)
I was annoyed by the reviewer who said something about this board being a "beautiful failure," whatever that means. Apparently that person failed to read the directions on how to use the board, hence the "beautiful failure" in her lack of ability to read. Hooked on Phonics would help.
I've used psychics, tarot, and other cards which always lacked precise accuracy which is important when it comes to making critical life decisions. This board is the best. Once I began using it and started receiving answers to questions in a precise way, I decided that I no longer need psychics or to do tarot readings anymore now that I have this board.
For example, when you do a tarot reading, it usually cannot give you a time frame of when something will happen. You can get a time frame on your question with this board. You can discover your life's purpose, spiritual quest, and even health issues with this board. I love it!
This board is highly recommended for those who are always looking for answers to situations and issues in their lives and are frustrated with the lack of clarity they get with tarot and other card readings.

Wonderful tool for professional readers and angel enthusiasts, December 29, 2005
This review is from: Angel Guidance Board (Misc. Supplies)
As a lightworker, I am always happy to find a new healing tool so I was pleased to welcome the Angel Guidance Board to my collection. Since I already own many of Doreen's oracle decks, books and CDs, I expected the Angel Guidance Board to be of the highest quality and that is exactly what I received. The folding board is beautiful, accompanied by an informative 51-page instruction guide, 4 colorful angel markers and a pair of crystal dice. At first glance, it looks like some heavenly board game, but don't be fooled. This is one very powerful transmitter to the angelic realm!
Once you've cleared the board of old energies with a simple statement Doreen has included in the booklet, think of a question, roll the dice and choose one of the 12 paths guided by a specific archangel or group of angels: Home, Romance, Money, Career, Life Purpose, Children, Family & Friends, Health, Spiritual Path, Psychic Development, Yes or No and When Will It Happen? The board's easy-to-use format allows you to conduct readings for yourself or others, and if you're comfortable with oracle cards, you can use them to supplement your answers.
Don't worry about attracting lower energies by using the Angel Guidance Board. Doreen works in the Light (she worked with the angels to create this product) and the board reflects that. While writing this review, I sought further assurance by asking, "Is this board safe and well-protected by angels to all who use it?" I chose the "Yes or No" path, rolled the dice and received "Yes" from Archangel Azrael.
I found the Angel Guidance Board to be helpful, non-threatening and incredibly accurate. With an open mind and heart, you should be pleased with the results of your first "contact" with the angels!
