Judika Illes, author of the popular "Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells" and "Encyclopedia of Spirits" now explores the world of saints and the miraculous powers they have to help us when we need it most. Despite popular belief, saints do not come just from the Christian tradition, but from all walks of life and all spiritual traditions, and are active, supernatural beings that can offer both physical assistance and spiritual guidance. If you are desperate, if an illness cannot be cured by conventional methods or even diagnosed, if your problems seem insurmountable, if you cannot find employment, true love, or bear a child, the saints exist to provide help. For example: Saint Anthony helps those who have lost their job, Saint Helena helps those having relationship problems, and Jizo is a Japanese Buddhist saint known for protecting mothers and children. This will be an easy-to-use guide to the saints and how you can access them at any time for anything you need.
