Introduction

B elief in angels is on the rise, at least in the United States. According to a 1994 Gallup poll, 72 percent of Americans said they believed in angels. By 2004 the numbers had grown to include 78 percent of the population. More Americans believe in angels than they do in global warming, and the number of believers is on the increase (Gallup Poll Survey, May 10, 2007).

Interestingly enough, belief in the devil has also increased dramatically, from 55 percent in 1990 to 70 percent in 2004. Clearly, Americans believe that there is a struggle going on between the forces of good and the forces of evil. The terrifying specter of proliferating wars, a disturbing rise in crime statistics, family problems, drug and alcoholrelated tragedies, economic turmoil, unabated unemployment, natural and man-made disasters, outspread poverty throughout the world, and many other problems lead many people to believe we are on the receiving end of a demonic onslaught of Machiavellian proportions. And, as Gods celestial hosts, the angels are viewed as the most powerful deterrents to this hellish devastation (Gallup Poll Survey, May 10, 2007).

This growing interest in the angelic realm can be seen in the vast array of novels, films, and TV series that have made their recent appearance in bookstores and on screens throughout the country. Films are especially abundant, with tantalizing titles like Angels in the Outfield , Wings of Desire (newly remade as City of Angels ), Dogma , Michael , Fallen , Legion , The Devils Advocate , The Prophecy Series (about a rebellious Gabriel), Angels and Demons , Constantine , The Preachers Wife (a remake of The Bishops Wife ), and many others. Older films featuring angels include classics like Its a Wonderful Life , Here Comes Mr. Jordan , Angel on My Shoulder , and Heaven Can Wait .

The small screen gave us several popular angel series like Touched by an Angel and Angels in America .

The angel theme can also be found in many American homes in the form of angel jewelry, angel clothing, angel linens, all sorts of angel ornaments, and even angel water and angel wine. We seem to be reaching up to Heaven for celestial protection, and the angels are our preferred link to that divine realm.

But can we contact the angels? Can we get their protection? Can they help us achieve our goals? Are there special rites and invocations that can bridge the unfathomable distances between our material world and the divine realms where angels dwell? The answer to all these questions is yes, and that is the reason this book was written. Angel magic is the way we connect with angels and get their undivided attention. For, rest assured, angels exist, they are real, and they want to help us. Indeed, they were created for that purpose. But you have to know how to contact them and let them know you want their help.

Kabbalah is a vast storehouse of lore about angels and their cosmic importance. It reveals not only who and what they are but also how we may establish a link with their immense powers. Ultimately, Kabbalah is the key to the magic of angels. Based on secret kabbalistic techniques, this book will explain to you who and what the angels are, how they interact with us, and, most importantly, how to work with them to lead richer and more productive lives. That is what the magic of angels is all about.

A Note from the Author

A lthough this is a book about angels and the Kabbalah, it also includes a great deal of scientific information pertinent to the books central theme. The reason I have used so much science in the book is because I believe that science will find tangible evidence of the existence of an intelligent, omniscient force behind the creation of the universe. Everything that exists is based on very powerful and very real natural laws. The Creative Mind that brought the cosmos into being used these laws to achieve a purpose; therefore, the universe is based on logic, reason, and mathematical precision. Plato said, God forever geometrizes. It is on science that we must depend to validate and ultimately prove the existence of a creator.

Recently the scientific world was stunned with the news that the Higgs boson, best known as the god particle, is probably a reality. This does not mean that physics has proven the existence of God, but that it has found the particle that gives mass to matter and therefore makes the universe possible. The Higgs boson is so subtle and ethereal that it is practically impossible to detect. It is more an impulse than a true particle. In my book A Kabbalah for the Modern World (1974), I expressed my belief that science has already proven the existence of God. The proof is subtle, like the Higgs boson, but it is there.
