The Guardian Angel of Youth

Work with the Angels for Guidance and Inspiration

This angel not only guards and protects young people but also watches over everything that is youthful in all of us. It is to be expected that both people and projects are more fallible in youth. Allowances can be made for this and for curiosity and experimentation. We need a space in our lives in which we do not always have to get things right. This angel gives us the opportunity to feel it is safe to make a mistake. It helps individuals and groups discover the right way of doing things, watching over this process, protecting the vital spirit of enthusiasm at its heart.
