What are they?
Guardian Angels are assigned to us and stay with us throughout our lives, they have never lived as humans and regardless of your belief system most people have two guardians to look after them. You may sense them as an inner voice prompting you to take a certain path or you may feel the need to make decisions, these angels gently push you in the right direction. They are there for your guidance they wait for us to ask for help.
When you experience an angelic being you should feel comfortable and not afraid, sometimes a floral or perfume smell will enter the room, the temperature may change or you may feel something touch you, these are positive experiences and we should not be afraid of these beings.
Some of our great ideas have been given to us by these angelic beings and you should feel empowered and positive from such an encounter.
Many people see signs from angels, a white feather or robin is a classic example, other have more personal signs like rainbows or butterflies etc.
Humans have free will and angels cannot interfere with that side of human nature although if it is not your time to die they can intervene to prevent this without our permission.
Asking for help is simple, just ask out loud or you may prefer to light a candle and do something that focuses you mind that is fine but generally asking will get the help you require.

Spring Spring Spring!
Ostara....Spring Equinox, March 20th 23rd Ostara is a celebration of new life, fertility and longer daylight hours. Equinox Means "Equal Night"
This equinox is also known as Ostara or Eostre - and is celebrated as a festival of new growth, renewal, a re-balancing of energies and the return of longer days.
It is also known as the day of equilibrium. Now is a good time to consider the balance of our lives - work, play and relationships.
The egg symbolized Eostre's wholeness and fertility - the female hormone oestrogen is named after her - and is offered at this equinox as a symbol of fertility and new life. The golden yolk represents the Sun God, its white shell is seen as the White Goddess.
Decorated eggs, egg rolling and egg hunts originate from pagan fertility rites dedicated to Eostre - symbolising fertility and re-birth, eggs are offered to the earth to ensure a fecund future harvest. Nature is 'hatching out' with new life.
Easter has deep roots in the mythic past. Long before it was imported into the Christian tradition, the Spring festival honored the goddess Eostre or Eastre.
I have written an Easter spell for those that want to call upon New Starts and positive energy back into their lives, it was written with the energy of Spring and will help focus the mind and bring about positive changes.
A magical dance with stone and flowers,
Brings forth the rain in little showers, And children dancing just for fun, will bring about the shining sun.
Magical dances, twirls and twists
will bring about the Autumn mists
And when all around has ceased to grow
Winter brings us ice and snow.
Let your heart rejoice and sing
As New beginnings start with SPRING!
