True Spirituality with Ange

Ange de Lumiere

Welcome to True Spirituality with Ange, the podcast where we explore spirituality on our own terms, free from preconceived notions or dogma. Growing up, I never felt like I fit into the two spiritual extremes of my family: either cynical atheism or devout Catholicism. I wanted something in between, and that"s what I hope to offer with this podcast. Join me in creating a bespoke version of spirituality that resonates with you and lights up your world, from home to work and everything in between

EP 54 One God v. Many Gods

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/09/20

I believe that rather than God having created humans in "his" image as claims Genesis in the Bible (we will talk about God's gender in a minute), it is the opposite. Humans have created God in their image. And my best bet is that they have done so to soothe themselves from the disturbing thought that the world has no rhyme or reason. But before we go any further, I want to highlight how much wrong there is in the sentence "God created man in his image". For one, why the male gender for both? The

EP 53 Heaven and Hell

2024/09/13

I chose quite a dramatic topic for this week's episode and wondered if I chose more than I can chew. But it's just a start. This episode is part of a series that is helping you decide if a religious or spiritual concept resonates with you, or aligns with your values and if it doesn't, I give you permission to get rid of it. Personally, Heaven and Hell do not form part of my spiritual blueprint. If you would like to download the PDF I created to help you create that spiritual blueprint for

EP 51 Psychic kids with Kathryn Rickert

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/08/28

Kathryn Rickert lives in Canada and has been a primary school teacher for twenty years but there is another side of her that most of her pupils know nothing about: her psychic abilities. Kathryn could see and hear spirit from very young. They opened up when her grandmother died and she used to see her uncle all the time, even though she had never heard of him because he died when Kathryn's mum was sixteen. Luckily Kathryn's mum was not dismissive of her experience but sadly a lot of parents are

EP 50 Why I no longer refer to the divine feminine

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/08/22

When I started exploring spirituality outside of religion, everybody seemed to talk about the divine feminine and masculine. There were circles for women, and circles for men. It was made very clear that we both have the divine masculine and feminine within us, whether we are male or female, but everything was labelled as feminine or masculine. Intuition was feminine. Leadership was masculine. And I tagged along, because I didn't know any better. It took me to go on a journey with people that are

In this episode, I attempt to define the various spiritual beings that you might come across when you reach out to the spiritual world. I have listed eight of them, in no particular order. They are often confused even by some of the most famous spiritual teachers. Spirit guides Elementals Ascended Masters Celestial beings Power animals Entities Ancestors Our higher selves I just realised that I forgot to talk about magical beings so I may talk about them in a separate episode or bring

EP 48 Dancing in the LIght

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/08/08

Dancing in the light and playing with the shadows used to be my catch phrase for years at the start of my spiritual journey. I was well aware that we all want to think that we are these luminous and loving being, but sadly, as humans, we have a shadow. You cannot have light without shadow on Earth. It's a fact. A fact that a lot of spiritual folks deny or hide, because having a shadow is "unspiritual". However, in my opinion embracing your spirituality requires you to embrace your shadow. So what

EP 47 How to work with angels

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/07/29

You know my love of definitions. For me, the definition that suits best for angels is a spiritual being being believed to act as an agent, attendant or messenger of God (Source, the Universe, Universal intelligence, or whatever word you use instead). They are traditionally represented wearing long robes and with wings. In the episode, I also share what angels are not and debunk a couple of myths around guardian angels and archangels. You know how I like to debunk myths. I share the one rule

Maria Shiyko, PhD, MMetaph, is a spiritual business and life mentor and the author of three books. Her first book, "From Russia to Love, a journey of spiritual awakening", is a memoir about her journey of un-conditioning from her culture as she made the move from her native Smolensk, in Russia, to the USA. From a scientific background, she dived into spirituality whilst in a deeply unhappy marriage. In an effort to help herself, she met her first meditation teacher who helped her transcend the mind

EP 45 Five things you need to know about energy

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/07/16

I had a couple of transformative experiences that led me to want to train in energy as a lawyer. The first of these experiences was when I went to a shiatsu masseuse back in my Paris days and saw blues and greens inside my head as she worked the knots in my shoulders and neck. I wanted to understand what this was all about and found a book called Hands of Light that started to explain energy for me. Fast forward a couple of years and I lived in London and what do you know, the author of that book

EP 44 Create your own spiritual blueprint

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/07/08

There were a lot of concepts and beliefs in the faith that I was brought up in that did not sit well with me. So at the age of twelve, I stopped going to church. My desire for spirituality was still there though. So what do you do? I started exploring different religions, such as buddhism, and without giving it much thought, I started to pick and choose what felt right for me and what didn't. Now that I have been on this path for well over thirty years, I would like to invite you to do the same,

EP 43 Should you be involved in politics as a...

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/07/04

At the time of recording of the podcast, elections are under way in the UK, the US and in France. As I live in the UK, I thought his was a good time to broach the topic of politics and spirituality, although this episode is only touching the surface of this complex topic and I am sure I will get back to it at a later stage. A lot of spiritual seekers feel that politics are too negative and that they are "unspiritual", thus disengaging from the whole topic. In this episode we explore why this is a

EP 42 Cancer as a path to awakening with Ali Williams

2024/06/28

When I met Ali online eight years ago, she had just been diagnosed with breast cancer and had started a blog called Raw and Completely Beautiful. She now calls herself a Cancer Sage and has written a book called The Glorious Responsibility of Happiness. Ali's experience with cancer did not start when she was diagnosed, though. She lost both her mum and grandmother in the same year, at the tender age of sixteen. In this episode, Ali shared how being the strong one (she had to be there for her

EP 41 The Cloud of Unknowing

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/06/17

n this episode I talk about two aspects of what I call the cloud of unknowing. The first aspect regards how we are blinded by our beliefs. The second one talks about embracing the unknown. So let’s dive in. Our minds and our thoughts are powerful. We might not realise but our beliefs can literally shape our lives, even though our minds have espoused beliefs through experience. It all boils down to how our mind works, particularly the part of our brain called the amygdala and the hippocampus. The

EP 40 Life Is a Miracle

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/06/09

Einstein supposedly said "There are two ways to live. One as if nothing is a miracle. The other as if everything is a miracle." I used to live in the first way but now aim to live the second way. It's been helped by the fact that I have experienced miracles first hand. What are miracles, though? The Oxford Dictionary says a miracle is "an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific law and is therefore attributed to a divine agency." I want to live a life of

EP 39 Divine Timing

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/06/03

Divine timing is the idea that you are exactly where you should be and that everything happens in your life exactly at the right time. I cannot tell you the number that me and my friends have ranted about divine timing and how frustrating it is. It's not even funny. I suppose we have all been in very challenging circumstances and being told about divine timing when you are going through this can be really counterproductive and even a form of gas lighting. The last thing I want to do is gas light

EP 37 How to Get the Best Spiritual Guidance

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/05/20

Tarot is not the only means of getting guidance. Today I would like to address the bigger issue of how to get the best spiritual guidance. The short answer to that question is that you will only get the best guidance the day you realise that the Universe does not play favourites and that you need to realise that someone else's feelings and interests are no more or less important than yours. This is hard to stomach, especially if you have been hurt by that person. I know what I am talking about.

EP 36 Tarot Basics For You

2024/05/13

In this tarot series, we first looked at whether the tarot is evil or dangerous, then we looked at how to get the best tarot reading with a professional and we are now going to dive into what you need to know to do a reading for yourself, starting with choosing your first deck. Look at it as a tarot for beginners crash course. Tarot decks always have 78 cards. If you buy a deck that has less cards, it's an oracle deck, which I will cover in a different episode. These cards are split in two
