Summary: Archangels, Deities, and Divinities
Review: Doreen starts the book stating that the deities are gods not Gods. She says that you can work with other deities other than the christian God. Her book contain many deities from around the world. Ms.Virtue describs the deities and how to invoke them. I normally won't even bother to read anything from Doreen Virtue but this book was different. I definately would recommend this book form people interested in deities, mythology, prayers, Wicca (or witchcraft), Hinduism, and or alternative religions.

Summary: this book works
Review: I bought this book and began working with it and immediately began having dreams and miracles manifest in my life. I can truly say this book is amazing and I am recommending it to everyone I can. It's very easy to read. You don't need to buy any special things to work with it. The invocations work.
The only thing I don't really like is her paragraph chapter explaining away the pantheon of gods and goddesses as just expressions of One God which in my mind is done purely to appease the Christian Right Wing from getting all up in arms
about her book. That may be her real opinion and that's fine, but I felt it was pandering to a vocal group in this country who are very intimidated by anything they don't agree with as a way
to inoculate them from seeing this book as a threat to
the established Christian One God belief which I do not ascribe.Otherwise the actual book's descriptions of the various powerful beings is explained and de-mystified. She explains how all our needs, no matter how small, can be addressed with these powerful beings.
So far in two weeks I used the book to heal two major issues I had with two people in my life (within days and weeks). I received incredibly clarity through dreams and third party interventions out of the blue. Also I used the book to begin to manifest work I absolutely love and to create miracles daily.
Everyone needs this book on their shelf. I read the entire thing in a few hours and after noting nearly every page with a piece of paper I began to work with 10 to 20 invocations per night. I am absolutely astounded at how well this book works. Buy this book. Use this book. You will not be sorry. I have never found anything that worked so well so fast except Florence Scovel Shinn's books including "The Game of Life and How to Play It".

Summary: My Favorite....
Review: I have read most of Doreen's books - she is one of my absolute favorite authors. I just received this book in the mail yesterday, and I can definitely say it has become one of my most prized possessions. If you enjoy working with your Angels - this book is a must have. Although it is set up in dictionary / encyclopedia format, it in no way feels like you are reading an encyclopedia. The first part of the book goes through each Deity individually - listing name, origin, and biographical story about that specific person. Then it tells you what areas of life this deity works with, as well as an invocation to use. The second half of the book lists specific life problems in alphabetical order. Under each issue are all deities in the book that help with that specific issue. There is also a section of prayers that you can use to invoke several of the deities at once - for a specific issue. This book is comprehensive - and emits an amazingly loving feel. Just perfect!

Summary: Uplifting but all over the place
Review: This book has a lovely vibration and it will leave you uplifted. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that just like other material I read from Doreen - it is all over the place and and incomplete. Here's what I mean. She has attempted to put in this book someone from just about every imaginable tradition, but if you are involved with any of these traditions, you'll wonder what happened to the other guys and girls. So, you'll find a variety of archangels and ascended masters. Then there's a mishmash of deities from different religions - they seemd to have been just randomnly picked up. For example, out of 8 Famous Taoist Immortals - one is mentioned here. From India you'll find Ganesha, Lakshmi, and of all the other choices - there's Kali (careful there, you may be mightily surprised with the effects of working with Kali). Shiva would've been a better choice. A good suggestion from esoteric circles is that you should work with the energies (and entities) that resonate with you and that you are acquainted with on a deeper level. There is always an exchange of energy in the universe and the price you pay for favors granted may not always be what you expected.
You'll find a handful of Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Hindu, Celtic, British, Irish, Welsh - as well as sainths and mythical characters from literature (yap, even Guinevere found her honorable place here).
If you've ever worked with an entire pantheon of deities from any tradition, you'd be aware that each has distinctly different vibrations. You'll also get the most out of working with any of them through great devotion and deepening of connection with that particular deity's or archangel's energy. This book is as if it were written for dabblers - for people who'd like to have a little bit of taste of everything, but not commit to anything, or who are yet to discover what resonates with them.
As far as pagan deities are involved in this book, I can only imagine that if you are involved in practicing any of those religions or esoteric systems - Kaballah, Alchemy (western or Taoist), Greek or Roman or Egyptian or Celtic or any other group of energies, deities and archetypes in a well-structured format, for the purpose of gaining some deeper connection and insights from that particular tradition, this book will leave you wondering where's the rest.

Summary: Doreen Virtue helps Humanity Connect to the Divine
Review: This book is a gift in respect to a 'who's who' in the Higher realms, and how each Divine being of Light is here to assist you with specific help. Each page shares what each Divine being's 'main' purpose is, regarding their specialty. I found that when I invoked the Angel concerning specific areas, my call was instantaneously answered! I 'felt' their presence, love, and found wonderful resolution during sleep, where upon waking up, I felt burdens lifted, and answers illuminating my mind with newfound clarity, and a feeling of "'Lightness' within.
I love Doreen's analogy in the book to the TV show 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' with respect to the 'phone a friend' who is an expert to answer a specific question.
Now, you can 'call an Angel, or a Divine being of Light' that is an 'expert with specific issues.
We are all helped, whether we realize it or not. I LOVE the practical use of this book, and how much it really works! It was done with exhaustive research, and the finished product will vastly improve your life, as long as you ASK for help.
Recommended from my heart,
Barbara Rose, Author of 'If God Was Like Man' and 'Individual Power'. Borntoinspire.Com

Summary: A Must Have if you Believe in Angels!
Review: This book is a pure delight for anyone interested in receiving spiritual help and support from archangels and ascended masters. It has an easy-to-read format, which the reader can use as a reference tool again and again when seeking spiritual assistance. I have had wonderful experiences and results from working with the spiritual helpers listed in the book, and I'm very grateful to the author for researching and compiling the wealth of information contained in its' pages. I especially enjoy using the book as an oracle tool, by opening it up to a random page to see who is assisting me. I find the information on each spiritual helper specific and helpful to unbderstanding his or her role in helping the planet heal. This book deserves true accolades!

Summary: Old Information based on OLD beliefs
Review: This book is another one of those books that deliver all kinds of other spiritual beings (outside of ourselves) that are suppose to be here to help us. Although other spiritual beings exist, this book really does not HELP a person advance in their own spiritual growth and development. Its a book of crutches, help outside yourself...to solve your own problems. It might make a good Christmas gift for beginner spiritual people but there is no real substance. For real transformational reading I suggest, The Resurrected Dead Now Immortal Live Among US.
