A note on Spirit Guides

People tend to throw around the words Spirit Guides but aren't really sure what exactly it all means. Many people think that Spirit Guides are Angels, and though that may be somewhat true in some aspects it doesn't really describe what Spirit Guides are.

The theory (and I say theory because there are mnay different beleifs regarding this topic), that I follow is that we are all born with 2 Spirit Guides. These guides may take the form of loved ones, people from history, angels or whatever (usually to keep us comfortable in some way). They have certain tasks to preform with us, one is the Life Guide and one is the Protector Guide. The Life Guide is responsable for our ay to day activities and choices, they help to keep us on our greater path (so long as we are open to listening) but never push us (there is free will after all). The Protector Guide is there to keep us safe as we travel our path. Now there will come a time now and again where we need to experience pain, loss or hurt in order to learn and grow from it, but for the most part the Protector Guide will keep us safe. These two guides are the ones that are most commonly referred to as Guardian Angels. The difference here is that Guides can be humans that have passed on and then watch over us to guide us. Angels however (from the true history and information on angels) were never human, and though we may all also hav a Guardian Angel they are not the same as Spirit Guides.

Another thing to note is that as people travel throughout their lives they may pick up and lose guides along the way. Moving, startign a new job, getting married, going to school, all these things can cause a new guide to appear in your life if you are in need of them. Most often these other guides will stick around for as long as they are needed and then go on to aid someone else. When I first started my blogs and my article writing I came across a new guide that was there to help me put my thouhgts into words, (fortunately that guide has stuck around in order to continue to help). In fact I was please to recieve a Spirit Guide Drawing from my friend and Medium Charles Filius. He was able to capture my guide exactly and draw him for me in order to re-affirm his aid in my life.

There are a lot of ways to meet your guides as well, mainly through meditation, and it is recommended that a person that wants to study within Paganism and Psyhic work meet their guides at least once. Other pagans will continue to meet their guides and speak with them on a daily basis. In fact, pagans that do divintation may "channel" their guides or even other people's guides in order to give future, past or present information while doing a psychic reading.

Just a small note for you all, to get a clearer understanding on what Spirit Guides are and how they work. As always, if you hve any questions at all, feel free to ask!
