If you are a believer in angels, there is a wealth of information and experience to be gained through books, television, films and websites, especially with regard to “guardian angels”, the idea of which has been an integral part of many cultures for centuries.
Most people feel they have a "special angel" to watch over them, especially at those particularly sensitive times in their lives. When a child is born, when they reach aldulthood, for a marriage, or when someone passes over the veil, the feeling that the "gods" are with us can be strong. And especially when someone is ill, we turn to those little reminders of not being alone, such as angel worry stones or coins, to keep by us and give us strength.
