While I have always been someone who sought a deeper connection to God, in around 2006 I felt like I was led to the edge of that journey. My life was crumbling; I was going through a divorce, I was diagnosed with every other autoimmune, stuck in a job that was draining me from the inside, and was shutting everyone out as I was going through a deep depression.
It was somewhere between receiving positive STD test results and being forced to give my dog up for adoption because I needed to move, that my girlfriend gifted me an Archangel Michael deck by Doreen Virtue. My light switched on. I may have been shutting everyone else out, but this was connecting me back into God. I hadn’t felt a connection like this in years. I was in love and there was no going back.
Naturally, I tuned into Doreen Virtue more, everything she taught made sense. The angels, the chakras, the angel numbers, the angel cards! I finally felt like the understanding and acknowledgement that I didn’t have in my failed marriage, had arrived.
I started to meet feel good people, friends, and teachers, and dove into different tools. All for the purpose of building my connection to God, that I had felt was previously so strained and lost.
I continued to follow my heart and little whispers on this path because I wanted to understand what was happening for me. I was seeing spirit, hearing random things, and receiving signs, but I felt so alone.
While I appreciated everything Doreen taught about the angels, she was so out of reach. So I found a local teacher that I felt could help me. That person ended up not fully leading from the heart (there was a lot of ego), which of course was a perfect match for my wounded self at the time.
One night, I was practicing with the Angel Tarot, and I didn’t do any of the things I now know to do (ground my energy, clear my space, close the connection). I also remember being nervous as shit. That’s important to note as fear attracts fear! I ended up falling asleep with the cards on the bed. Several hours later, there was a very loud bang, and my bed shifted to the middle of the room. My bed frame was metal and it sounded like a hammer hit the bed. I jolted up, and was petrified.
That only led me to be even more fearful, which ended up being a great lesson for me. That night taught me a lot, and it did teach me how evil can nosy in if the intention is not set correctly.
So recently when Doreen Viritue posted an image of a deck of her cards with, “Warning: Psychic cards can attract demons and lead you on the wrong path,” I don’t think she is totally off the mark. I have experienced such.
However, The Law of Correspondence and the principle of yin and yang, show us that there is a flip side to this, and I have found that is even more powerful and overcoming. That is, when used with intention and unconditional love, having a ritual with angel cards connecting us to higher source, can attract so much God energy, love, and lead us on a path that has the capability to turn our lives around for the better.
This is a really big topic in my world right now. This specific post caused a bit of a panic in some peeps in my community. I was waking up in the morning to emails and texts that were sent at 2 am!
I have not only made my own oracle card deck, I teach a whole class (some people apprentice with me) with the Angel Tarot as a basis, and I see clients every day where this tool is used. So as you can imagine, when she made her flip, a lot of my clients were very confused, upset, and lost.
Here are four questions that can help us ease through a process of a teacher taking back what they taught:
When I think about __________, do I feel it in my heart (love) or stomach (fear)? Using inner wisdom can bring clarity, and help us to know how we really feel about something. We can go to as many self help books, articles, doctors, therapists, psychics, astrologist, and always, the answer will be in ourselves. Tune into that source like never before. Feel into what is right and true. Think about that topic that is hot. Notice if it is felt above the chest line, then it is pretty safe to say it is in love. If it is felt below the chest line, think twice, there may be fear.
What is it that I see in this person that may be a reflection of me? Use compassion. Consider where that person is coming from, as there is a little of us in them. We are all mirrors and reflections for one another. If we see it, we be it. There is something calling to us to learn about ourselves.
What do I fear? I always say, to get more clear, follow the fear. Go into it and find out if that big scary thing, is actually that scary.
What am I judging? Knowing what we are judging is huge, especially if we have never experienced that thing that we are judging. For example, when judging Doreen for honoring what she feels from reading the bible, but have never read the bible, maybe do so before judging her.
For this specific topic on angel cards, I believe this is an invitation to go into our own beliefs and experiences. Part of what she says is true: psychic cards “can” attract lower energies. But what can’t? And I ask this sincerely.
Any tool that is used in a lower vibe way can. I wish Doreen would be more clear about this.
In my experience, it truly comes down to intent. If we use them intending to provide literal “answers,” to prophesize, to replace God, and begin to worship what they are saying, we have to check ourselves. I am being dramatic but I hope my point is clear.
My point in sharing is we can make headway if we can view her differently and take the duality out of it. I don’t think she is fully ”wrong.” And it doesn’t come down to just cards. As a side note, she did say psychic cards not Angel cards.
I believe this is her attempt at stressing they can be harmful when they are used in prophecy, idolatry or worship.
I do acknowledge that she is completely taken a one sided approach, and it is stirring fear.
From my perspective in what I see this is creating, there is fear all over her message and fear is fear …. it’s low and quite frankly (and I recognize this is my own judgement I need to sit with) is shitty.
In close, I want to share from a viewpoint from creating my own angel cards. The process was beautiful and gentle. It was light. I was woken in the wee hours to birth the various cards and images. The messages inspire and they are intended to connect people with their own truth and only develop a further connection with God.
In close, do you need an exorcism from using angel cards? Based on my perspective and experience, no. Use them with love, care, and intention. If there is uncertainty around creating a safe loving space before using them, please feel welcome to download the free angel mediation on the top bar of my website, that will help you to create a space of love.

Thank you for sharing this full and descriptive experience with various tarot cards and how to discern both the intention of the cards and our state of receptivity for their message and then how to apply "in love" the lesson for our daily living. As you know I am a Bible reader and I am a strong believer in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and have had a relationship of varying degrees of closeness with the Trinity throughout most of my life. I have had personal experiences with angels and angelic beings and persons who hear and heed the promptings of God and his realm of angels. In spite of those experiences, I had a very minimalist understanding of the realms of angels, btw, created by God himself for our benefit. As I have journeyed down this path with you and the RYEE container, and a growing number of friends on a similar journey, I have begun to see the presence of angels and references of heavenly hosts in Bible readings and the songs sung at church. A relationship with and study of relating with Angels is not a concept separate from God, but rather a concept of oneness or "echadh", the Hebrew word for "one". It is all a gift from the same source, unless misused as you explain, under a misguided intention. There is a fine line that separates Good and Evil.
In all my experience with this study and this journey, I have only witnessed the intention of love and "echadh". I am forever grateful to God for inspiring me to choose greater depth and understanding on this path, and for your loving leadership on this leg of the journey. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
With love and respect.
Carol, thank you for taking the time to read! AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVING FEEDBACK OF "ECHADH"! You are so correct … there is a fine line between good and evil, and when we put God first, love will win every time. I know that we both do, and I know we are able to do it together stronger because of it. I just saw the other email you sent and I am looking forward to reading that now! XO Love you, Carol, and I am so appreciative for your love and trust. THANK YOU for journeying with me!

Thank you. I’ve been seeing those posts and honestly, it’s made me struggle a bit. I agree that provoking fear, is shitty. We live in a time when love and light is crucial. I wonder what scared her so much?
Yes Ashleigh, I completely feel you sister. She says that she had a true encounter with Jesus. Perhaps she did (funny that word did kept autocorrecting to ‘died’). She also said she had plenty of angel encounters. Either way, I am really happy that she is standing in conviction of what is true for her, and there will be people that need her message I am sure. I am not one of them. There are many assumptions and guesses on what scared her, and I choose to not look at them, so I can stay in my zone of what feels delicious to me!! I am always happy to be in connections like this and share the energy! XO

I needed this deeply! I’m a Catholic who has avoided all things atrology for years out of fear that it would take me from God. But it has only brought me closer. I agree with this article. It’s all about useage and intention. None of this stuff is meant to be worshipped but simply guides to bring use closer to the Lord.
I couldn’t agree more. We really do have to lean into our truth and relationship with God. That is all there is. Giving power to something greater other than that is always a messy and incomplete recipe. I was raised Catholic and still very much honor my Catholic upbringing and beliefs.

Curious as to if you are still on this path? I was very into angel cards and they are very demonic! Satan disguises himself as light so please be careful!! I used to be heavily into this stuff and you’re attaching yourself to demonic spirits even if they haven’t manifested themselves yet. Doreen Virtue encountered Jesus and learned that all of this is demonic and He is the only way.
Hi Megan, I am very much still "on this path." It doesn’t seem you actually read the article in full? This is not something I am "heavily into" nor is it "stuff" for me. The many tools I use have been a part of my journey to assess my relationship with Jesus and to bring me closer to God. As I mentioned in the article, we need to lean into our own beliefs and experiences. Part of what Doreen has said is true: psychic cards “can” attract lower energies. But what can’t? We always need to be really mindful of any frequencies we are working with. From the shows we watch, to the makeup we use, to the food we eat, and certainly to the people we listen to. Our intent, integrity, and value matter around all of it. I personally like to start by observing if something is a one-sided approach or stirs fear. What I hear you say is Doreen Virtue had encountered angels, then Jesus, and now her message is resonating with you. But what have YOU encountered? Lean into that information. Into your own experiences. Not what others say. XO

As a Christian here are a couple scriptures. I am not demonizing. You must choose. I choose to take everything to Jesus. 2 Corinthians 2:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
1 John 4:1 Beloved do not believe every spirit.
Divination is a treacherous slope as a Christian. In all honesty we all want a road map we all want answers. But pray and they will come. Whatever season you are in. A lot of fasting and praying could be required to break the chains that could arise. Is that worth the risk? If you are a Christian then you know God wants to give you the desires of your heart. All you need is a mustard seed of faith. When you pick up the cards where do you think that faith is going? I found an old deck of romantic angel cards and guess what they didn’t feel good in my hand and I thought about it. Then God out on my heart he had a great plan for my life and love. So I tossed them. If I need to know where God sees me going a
Or need answers I can pick up my Bible or call a respected friend in Christ and pray. I feel so free and trust him so much. Do not be fooled. This is dangerous. And not all "good feelings" come from Christ or his angels. Discernment is key.
I respect everyone’s right to choose so I offer this opinion of mine in case it can be of help.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
I don’t believe that “we must choose,” and I also don’t push my beliefs on anyone.
From my perspective and experience, anything that is one-sided and says “this is right” and “that is wrong” is based on ego and judgment.
I hear you say you choose to take everything to Jesus. 100% of the time, I take everything to absolute light, surrendering to God.
For me, this goes beyond prayer, or asking, or even requesting. It is surrendering ALL to God.
I agree Satan can be disguised; the devil comes in pretty packages, right? A part of why I won’t stop doing what I am doing is to spread that message and help others identify what that can look like.
I think it’s crucial we all, Christians included, remember that. Because anytime we judge anything, we’re edging God out and allowing Satan to dust our light.
In my experience, I don’t see us as all wanting a road map. But I suppose we see in people what is in us.
I tend to attract and work with people who embrace their FAITH and courageously follow the road map that unfolds before them.
Those that are ready to not only plant that small mustard seed but also move forward in courage and absolute light. And in that, they learn what is true, LIGHT, and in integrity for them.
Sometimes, tools can help. Of course, if you pick up anything and it doesn’t feel good, whether it be cards, a Crystal, a dowsing rod, or even a Bible for that matter, the next step, of course, would be to put it down.
When I pick up cards, they feel good to me personally. I am reminded of how many people I have been able to help because of the journey they sparked.
And to answer your question, I don’t “think” my FAITH goes anywhere when I pick up cards; I know with my whole heart my faith goes to God because that is the intention I set.
If you infer my faith and belief goes to cards, tools, or the devil, while that may have been your experience, that is certainly not mine or those that I work with. And I do A LOT of work every day to ensure that, minding my mind, body, Spirit, home, diet, all of it.
And in that, I confidentially say I am living the best, healthiest, happiest version of myself I have ever met after overcoming a lot of trauma.
I also have the most confident, fun, and loving relationship with God.
You say not all "good feelings" come from Christ or his angels, I agree. And I think it’s important also to honor that when it comes to ALL beliefs. We all need to be mindful of where we may be projecting and casting stones. To judge or act righteously in any place is certainly not Christ-like either.
I do appreciate this conversation. I am passionate about it. 🥰🙏🏽

If you infer my faith and belief goes to cards, tools, or the devil, while that may have been your experience, that is certainly not mine or those that I work with. And I do A LOT of work every day to ensure that, minding my mind, body, Spirit, home, diet, all of it.
And in that, I confidentially say I am living the best, healthiest, happiest version of myself I have ever met after overcoming a lot of trauma.
I also have the most confident, fun, and loving relationship with God.
You say not all "good feelings" come from Christ or his angels, I agree. And I think it’s important also to honor that when it comes to ALL beliefs. We all need to be mindful of where we may be projecting and casting stones. To judge or act righteously in any place is certainly not Christ-like either.
I do appreciate this conversation. I am passionate about it. 🥰🙏🏽
I am curious, Ana, how did you come across this post?
Gina you completely missed and judged everything I said. I was speaking to the Christians. I said first sentence I am not demonizing. We must all choose what we believe. I chose Christianity. You didn’t hokd the deck I did it felt not good at all. I believe everyone has a right to their own beliefs. As a Christian I believe in free will. You are so defensive. I was merely offering my opinion as I stated to the Christians. I was clear. I absolutely never push anything on anyone that was your judgment. We share different beliefs and I respect your right to chose for your life. You do not need to stop. Again I offered a Christian outlook. I hope you will not take offense to my praying for continued enlightenment on your path. We are all here for a reason. I’m sorry you were so offended by my opinion and more importantly thought I was speaking to YOU. I absolutely WAS NOT. So May God bless you and keep you and I hope your journey brings you the happiness my faith brings me. Oh and Doreen Virtue is on YouTube. She may have spoken out as she has accepted Christ or so that is what it appears from some videos I have seen.
Take care Gina
Respectfully, I was merely sharing my perspective. That is what this space is; a safe space for conversation.
I do not judge you, and I hold space for everyone to walk their path and share here. Conversation is how we grow and learn.
I am sorry that sharing my perspective and experience in return comes off as defensive to you. Not my intent, as I have nothing to protect.
I respond to every person who shares here. This is simply how I run my business.
Again, merely sharing my story and my perspective. That is what this space is.
From my perspective, stating “we must choose,” or we must do anything precisely this way, is pretty absolute. I want for everyone reading anything here to be empowered with love, free will, and freedom. To know that they can choose God and angels and Jesus and Angel cards all simultaneously. And no matter what they choose, it’s okay, good, and accepted.
Having said that, I kindly ask that you think about how Christianity has a wide range of beliefs and practices across the world among those who refer to themselves as Christian.
By saying you are not speaking to me, you made a pretty bold and big assumption. 😊 You were.
However, I do not take offense to any of this. At all. It’s a conversation, and I want to make sure that everyone is heard.
In terms of praying for me for continued enlightenment, I think that intention is beautiful. I also believe in asking for permission whenever sharing an energetic space.
My Great Grandmother told me once, “I prayed wrong.” I didn’t understand what she meant initially but later learned she was referencing the idea that when we pray for a specific outcome, pray in worry, or for something to change; we are inferring that we know better than God.
Surrendering to all that is God’s love and absolute light is what I always do. “Continued enlightenment” is a beautiful term, and I shall return that prayer.
Oh, and I do always love to know how people land here. I would love to know how you found this space?
All the best to you! XO

Here’s what bothers me…when I was 16 years I came face to face with a demon. I dont understand why people want to mess with anything that could conquer one up. If they knew the extend of hatered that demons have for mankind..because we are made in the very image of God…they would be afraid or at least wise. I think they like to dabble and feel power…how foolish..because the only power you need is the Holy Spirit and faith in God…once you have been under the blood of Jesus Christ there is nothing that go up against you and nothing can break you down…you may stumble..but you will raise again! You dont need angel cards to tell you that.. its in the Word of God..and who is that word..Jesus..14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.john 1:14…john 1;1 in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God…..you need to read that..get the power that God promised you through the Holy Spirit and quit playing with childs games.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Something to think about – you wouldn’t be able to come face to face with a demon – unless a similar frequency or vibration existed within. We have to deal with our inner demons. For some, angel cards can help with that. If you choose to give anything more power over God – then so be it. There is quite a bit of judgment and projection in your comment. I don’t need to say more. Have a blessed holiday!
