ANGELS IN THE NEWS. While we're on New Age subjects, according to the London Times it seems that Metatron and his archangel colleagues are "co-ordinating" a "World Angel Day" in Kensington:

What is it about angels? [Diana] Cooper, 64, says that she first encountered her supernatural saviours in 1982 when she hit a black period of divorce and depression. She called out for help, waited, and found herself in the company of a �being of light� who showed her how her new future would map out. �I started off as a healer and worked with spirit guides, which operate on a lower frequency than angels. Then, years later, the angels asked me to help to introduce them to the people of the world.�

Guided by higher spirits (naturally), Cooper wrote her first book, A Little Light on Angels (Findhorn Press, �6.95), detailing people�s angelic encounters, which was published in 1996. �The response started building quite quickly,� she says. �When I first put a chat room on my website, 100 people visited. Now it is thousands a day. Her work continues to diversify: she is co-hosting a World Angel Day in October at Kensington�s Great Hall (price �69 a ticket; 020-7361 2220), though she is only an earthly organiser. It is co-ordinated by the archangels Metatron, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel, and the symphonies of all angels, she says.
