The result of sixteen years of research in Talmudic, gnostic, cabalistic, apocalyptic, patristic, and legendary texts, the classic reference work on angels is beautifully illustrated and its reissue coincides with the resurgence of belief in angels in America.
Perfection achieved!!! Could not ask for more.
| Customer Rating: | When researching angels-whether divine or "fallen"-one is smacked in the face with biblical definitions and summaries. This one book incorporates many occult, biblical, and literary angels in one place. It is complete and really cannot be surpassed.
I originally had one that I lent to a friend for reading. Needless to say, she never returned it. Not more than a month passed before I had to buy another copy. My library lacked this essential piece of literature. I am so glad I spent the money on it. Countless times I have opened it for research or "use". Good luck!

Everything you ever wanted to know about Angels
| Customer Rating: | From the Angels of the days of the week, to the seven Archangels who stand before God, it's all there. Angelic Script (the Angelic Alphabet) is also included, along with a glimpse of some of the Seals and Sigils of particular Angels. Personally, I expected a little more in the way of Seals and Sigils, but the overwhelming information covering everything else makes up for that.
Granted, there is an abundance of information about Angels scattered throughout various texts in various languages around the world, however Mr. Davidson took the most informative of that content and placed it in one comprehensive book.
With fascinating content, I absolutely adore this book. Anyone who is curious about Angels, enjoys reading about them, or otherwise wants to know more about Angelic history and lore, this is the book for you. |
Interesting but not all you'd expect
| Customer Rating:  | I recently bought the book and i was very excited to look up the names of popular angels, learning new ones, reading about the certain classes and such. The book covers the alphabetical order as it promises, but never clearly breaks down each class to tell you what it consists of, it simply says who certain people believe is in each class and in what order the classes are. To put it bluntly, it classifies angles but doesn't explain the categories and tries to make up for this by giving you classification after classification. What bothered me most about the book is that in the end it gives incantations to "summon angels and make them obbey you", which made me wonder if the whole book is laughable all together. I doubt anyone reading the book was looking to join a cult, and i feel the author lost a start of quality by including such rubbish in a well researched book. Another thing that might surprise you is how it talks about there being 7 or 10 heavens (then citing Dante), but never does the author stop to mention that the christian bible which is widely read and which he claims to have started from, states that there are only 3, that God lives in the 3rd heaven and that because of it Raphael or Michael can't be the rulers of that heaven.
Aside from this, it still an enjoyable book with an intruduction where the author talks about how he started on this hobby and the general information that he has on them. Great to flip through, but after 2 hours you won't be nearly as interested in it. |
Not for True Believers in God of Abraham Issac & Jacob
| Customer Rating: | | Occultic - skimmed book looked at references (mostly occult) placed in trash can & delivered to dump! HAD to use up one star to rate it but it is a minus infinity of don't read. |
Huge amount of info
| Customer Rating: | | This book contains a huge amount of information and is able through a great deal of research to connect a lot of religions and schools of thought. Thick, in paperback is good as a light weight guide. |
