If you purchase each one of the books for each of the archangels you will find that much of the material is redundant. It would have made a better book if all four books had been consolidated into one book since the actual information on each angel is sparse and several chapters are duplicated across the books.

I generally am not a big fan of Llewellyn publishing and all there books on Wicca, and Wiccanizing everything from Brujeria, Hoodoo, Santeria, and Curanderismo, which sadly they have done many times before, and have sold millions of copies to readers who don't know any better and believe any junk they read. But out of all the authors who publish under Llewellyn I give my respects to one of them, Mr. Richard Webster, although I do not like all his books, he has published some good ones.

In his new four book series on Communicating with the Archangels, as a person born and raised in the tradition of Brujeria and Espiritismo most of this knowledge was passed down and taught to me from early childhood, and was part as still is a part of daily life, as breathing and eating. Although most of the subjects on the book deal with Stories as re-told by the author, both personal and stories of others, and rituals, meditations and bringing these powerful forces into your life, I would have to highly recommend all four books, for anyone who is interested in learning and adapting these ancient powerful Supreme Beings into your life.. No matter if you practice Voodoo, Brujeria, Curanderismo, or don't practice any form of religion at all but are a spiritual person looking to bring these positive forces into your life, then read these books, you will not be disappointed. I have to actually say bravo to Llewellyn for publishing these books, and hopefully they keep publishing more books on other traditions without trying to Wiccanize everything.

To begin the series I would start with the book Spirit Guides & Angel Guardians: Contact Your Invisible Helpers, also published by Llewelyn and the author Richard Webster.

From then I would recommend going on to Michael: Communicating with the Archangel for Guidance & Protection.

The second book should be, Raphael: Communicating with the Archangel for Healing & Creativity. Traditionally the Angel of healing as in the Old Testiment there is the story of Raphael healing Sarah and Tobit as they travel to Tobias.

The third book in the series is Gabriel: Communicating with the Archangel for Inspiration & Reconciliation. Although many people will disagree with the order stating that the book on Rafael and Gabriel are mixed, this would depend on tradition. Traditionally Saint Gabriel was the Angel that visited Mary and foretold of her pregnancy with Jesus, as well as to the Shepard Joseph. The reason people will disagree with the order is because they say that Gabriel is the Angel that rules the element of Air, and Communication, which makes sense. But to many traditions he is seen as the Angel that rules Water, as he fortold of the pregnancy of Mary, The Holy Infant child Jesus being in the womb, which is associated with the element of Water. The books work fine in the order they are, but as one studies further, this tradition works well, or can be rearranged, with further study.

The final book in the series, which I have not read yet, is Uriel: Communicating with the Archangel for Transformation & Tranquility. But should also be included in the series. All the books go hand in hand.

The book was exactly what I was looking for .

It arrived on time and in great shape

Thanks... I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the Archangles

This book is of questionable quality, both content-wise and composition-wise. absolutely a waste of money. don't buy it

In reading through parts of the book on Gabriel, I had a very hard time connecting in any way to Gabriel through what Mr. Webster wrote for the following reasons;

1. He has Gabriel as being associated with the Element of Water when he is the Archangel of Air.

His feast day is on March 24th which is just after the Sabbat of Spring Equinox or for others Ostara [Spanish for Egg] and we all know this is the season that is connected to the element of Air. Then we have Gabriel who is depicted with a scroll which we know too is associated to Air as it is use to write and communicate our messages.

2. The stones listed in the book are all connected to Water, when in truth Gabriels favourite stone is known by many to be that of Citrine, which is a stone that is connected to Gemini and that too is the most mutable sign of the Air and the first of the Air Signs.

I would think that in his book Raphael the review would be the same only in reverse to this one and that the books should be retitled according to the proper elemental connections as well as the Feast days and seasons in which they lye.

In another note I would find this book more helpful in working with the Archangel of Raphael and just changing the names of the angels around to fit properly in the reading.

Blessed Be!
