Abstract: Today, angels are everywhere. From Christian imagery they have flown into art, popular culture, the Internet, film, commerce, and Western people's imaginations and practices. Angel culture and angel spirituality are a visible form of globalized religion that is closely connected with commercial and popular culture.1 Well-known international angel "gurus" who travel between countries and continents and sell various kinds of angel practices (such as meditations and therapies) and items (books, oracle cards, jewelry, etc.) include charismatic women like Doreen Virtue (USA), Diane Cooper (UK), Lorna Byrne (Ireland), and Maria Zavou (Greece).2 Also included among their numbers is the Princess of Norway, Märta-Louise, who opened her own angel healing school and has prompted a sizable public discussion on angels and the boundaries of "proper" Lutheran religion in her country.3
