Our Spirited Protectors Brought to Life Guardian angel figurines are among the most life-like figurines in today’s marketplace. They are unique in that each designer has their own conception of what figurines of a guardian angel would look like.
Guardian Angel Figurines are our impression of our own special guardian angel that watches over us to keep us safe and well. Guardian angel figurines have some of their basis in legends and stories, and some in religions. Many religions believe in guardian angels: Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and Islam. Figurines have been created for all of them. Islamic writings declare everyone has two guardian angels, one for day and one for night shift; they record the good and bad deeds for judgment day. Christianity embraced guardian angels and inspired figurines like no other religion. The love of guardian angels and their figurines came from the people not the church.
According to mythology, all guardian angels are taken from the lowest ranks of the celestial hierarchy. The Greeks believe that God sends a personal guardian angel known as their daimon assigned to each person. A seventeenth-century mystic confirmed, each child at birth is given to him by God and ordained to be his guardian angel that it might guard him and protect him. Angel Laila watches over a child all of its days serving as a guardian angel and leads him from this world to the next. Many figurines have been fashioned to different perceptions of her likeness. In the first academic research into guardian angels, almost one third of those who contacted the researcher reported seeing traditional angels with white gowns and wings, like a majority of figurines. According to a Time magazine poll in 1993, forty six percent of Americans are certain they have their own guardian angel to watch over them. A poll by Self magazine in 1997 found eight seven percent believe in guardian angels.
Included in guardian angelic powers are: protecting, providing, healing, interceding, revealing, guiding and respecting free will as spiritual beings. Guardian angels have made their way into the movies in “It’s a Wonderful Life”, into America’s television series in “Touched by an Angel”; figurines have been created for both. Crystal guardian angel figurines in semi-precious amethyst, hematite, rose quartz, sodalite, and snowflake obdidian capture the beauty of the angels. Available guardian angel figurines in today’s abundant market are names like; Madison – angel of knowledge, Elizabeth – angel of compassion, Hannah – angel of comfort, the list goes on and on, as these beautiful figurines watch over us.
