Varian's AngelDreams: Angels & Angelic Appreciation Resources
updated May 9, 1997



VARIAN'S ANGELDREAMS

Softly now beneath the moon, I strum the lyre's strings
Without a care in all the world, caressed by angeldreams.




AngelDreams provides me with a place to gather various elements of angel-related items I've collected along the way, and will also serve as a resource page for additional WWW locations that suit me; i.e. I'm not going to include a link to every page that mentions angels or displays an angel graphic. But if you know of an area with a dedicated angel section that seems to have something of quality to offer, please pass that URL along to me, and I'll happily check it out! :)
What AngelDreams will not do is provide any boxed-in definition of what angels may be or what they're about -- that's for you to decide. However, my choices of what material to include or exclude will be highly subjective, based on my own personal pleasure. So on the overall my own views will spill over here, but hey, you're still on your own for deciding what's what in your corner of the world. Besides, what I enjoy in graphics, music or product representations of angels really has very little similarity to what I personally believe about angels. :)

-- Varian, 1995





May '97 - What's new? I've decided to keep the music on this page. :)
***AngelDreams is continuing to receive its new facelift;
an entirely new look is coming to this set of pages
(and the whole rest of my site). I hope you'll find it much easier
to navigate this area and find those items that interest you most.
There are many more changes on the way! :)
*** Coming very soon: AngelKisses, a few treats you may enjoy
adding to your web pages. A mini-preview and background
information is available now!.
*** Freshly updated: AngelClips works again! If you've tried
to download from here recently, please try again now.
***So many links, so little time!

Playing:
a digitized MIDI sequence representation of
Man in the Mirror
composed by Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard
"If you want to make this world a better place
Take a look at yourself and make that change."

(For those who have inquired about getting this music
on CD, Michael Jackson recorded it on at least one
of his recent albums.)

The Best Angel Websites

I've been scouring the Web up, down and sideways, and this list represents the very best angel sites I've located thus far that contain information, stories, graphics, poetry, reference, products and/or other surprises. They have been arbitrarily separated into categories for Personal (private home pages or experiencial views), Commerical (promoting a product or service, but offering more than just advertising), and Referencial (research and data). Many of them fit more than one category, so the placements should not be taken as absolutely definitive. More sites will be added when/if their feathers tickle me. If you find one (or start one!) please let me know! :) All commentary is my own unless given in quotations.

Personal
For additional sites sharing poetry , music or artwork, see also AngelAire, AngelVision and AngelKisses

Susan Duxter channels letters from her angel and shares them on the web. An excerpt: "You are not less part of the procedure than the tides and the moon or the seasons and the cycles of the exquisite butterfly."

True-life tales of angel encounters. This is a sub-area of Cosmic Connections, a site devoted to "connecting kindred spirits" of all metaphysical interests.

Not really an angel page, but a wonderful collection of links to spiritual related-interest sites that I think you'll enjoy having handy.

Angels in the Machine
So Be Now! is a new site planning a chat room and conferences on the presence of angels, among other topics. "Use this medium to share the positive messages which angels bring to us all. Send us your words, your pictures, even your music. Let the angels fly from machine to machine elightening all of those individuals and computers which are touched along the way."

Angels Online
A fun and wonderful site featuring the Angel Forecast (using the delightful Angel Cards from The Transformation Game,) and Angel Stories of netizens' experiences.
[Note: This site is currently unavailable, probably due to it's unanticipated popularity. Does anyone know where it's flown off to? Tell me!]

Aura's Angels
A charming and original angel site featuring an enjoyable personality who tells her story, displays her angel art collection, introduces you to her friends and more, including a chat room where you can discuss angels with others. Lovely treat for the senses here, from the featured artwork and accompanying music to the great layout and enviable page graphics.

Broken Angel
A site with a slightly different slant, of interest to those who enjoy anime. A technical guide to Yokito Kishiro's cyberfantasy Gunnm.

Coven of Angels
Another sit slightly off the beaten path, a Web magazine. "Each 64-page issue of Coven of Angels magazine features a chapter from four serialized novels: Gabrielle, Allysa (The Untamed), The Garden of Earthly Delights, and Josie Has a Secret, as well as short fiction, comics, editorial tirades and other weirdness."

ISCNI Angels Gallery

A personal homepage with quotations, links, beautiful graphics and more. Lovingly set up; a must-visit-many-times site! (This was the first great angel page I found on the Web in 1995, and it is still among the very best. It has a peaceful and gentle atmosphere.)

An Inquiry Into The Existence Of Guardian Angels
Includes sample chapter and information for the book of the same name by Pierre Jovanovic. This site has several nooks and crannies, such as a display of 14 "unconventional portraits of Gabriel" from historical paintings and sculpture. Also included is an interesting "resume" for Gabriel, patron saint of telecommunications (and the internet). Nice use of graphics throughout. You can even light a candle in the virtual chapel!

Angelic Passages
Jayne M. Howard presents a monthly newsletter, a daily e-mail message service, a beautiful series of Twelve Angels and more. "Years ago in meditation the angels inspired me with the thought that if you take the letters in the word angel and apply the words ACCEPT NOW GOD'S ETERNAL LOVE - you have the gift they offer to you...but only you can accept it...own it...embrace it!"

"Our objective is to bring the world closer to the Angelic Kingdom and we look forward to hearing from you." A personal note I've received from Mark Lufkin adds: "I just thought that you should know my site...was truly created to give people a closer look at angels. We have since offered products for sale because the cost of running a web site is so costly. God bless & thanks again for spreading the light." It will literally take you days to explore everything tucked in here.

A minor but pleasant page of Share International's site, reviewing a British angel documentary, heavy on the Maitreya/Creme belief.

From the Christward Ministry, a pleasant place for browsing which begins with a lovely angel graphic, and has a section of angel information and notecards. "Flower A. Newhouse, the founder of Questhaven Retreat, was clairvoyant, freely seeing Angels and nature beings. To increase our awareness of this remarkable kingdom, she has given numerous lectures and written four books about the various orders of Angels, describing their appearance and works with illuminating clarity."

Heaven and its Wonders and Hell
Victor Odhner has gone to great lengths to bring Things Seen and Heard by Emanuel Swedenborg to the web, with pertinent elements painstakingly footnoted and cross-referenced between sections. The book includes chapters for the state of angels, their garments, where angels live, their powers, speech, and a great deal more. If you've ever wondered what heaven is like, Swedenborg seeks to describe it. "There was a certain hard-hearted spirit with whom an angel spoke. At length he was so affected by what was said that he shed tears, saying that he had never wept before, but he could not refrain, for it was love speaking."

Biblically-referenced information about angels, apparently from a presented sermon.

The Holy Angels
Biblical description from the Minea of St Dimitry of Rostov of the hierarchies and structure of the Nine Orders of angels.
