Hi, I’m Lisa Eddy, a writer born in Sweden and now living in the north of England. I have been blogging since 2006, sharing my questions, discoveries and changing understanding of the spiritual life.
Today, my faith and work are centred on Christ. Through Angelorum, I write about Christian mysticism, prayer, the lives of the Saints and Marian devotion. I especially hope to reach spiritually weary seekers who long for a rooted relationship with God.
If you have travelled through the New Age and occult worlds and find yourself drawn towards Jesus, you will recognise much of my story.
A Long Journey Home
My spiritual journey has taken me through Evangelical Christianity, Catholicism, the New Age and the Western esoteric tradition. For many years, Tarot was central to my work. I offered professional readings, taught and wrote extensively about spiritual practices and symbolism.
Throughout those years, my love of Christ remained. So did my connection with Mother Mary, even when my understanding of her wandered through very different spiritual frameworks.
I know how much of ourselves we can invest in a spiritual path. There are books, practices, friendships and sometimes an entire public identity bound up with what we believe.
Consequently, changing direction can ask a great deal of us. I write with that experience in mind.
A Prayer for Wisdom
In the spring of 2026, I recognised that I lacked wisdom, and I prayed for it.
That prayer began a journey I could never have planned. At first, I studied philosophy and theurgy, seeking to understand wisdom, virtue and the purpose of spiritual practice. My questions took me through Hekate, Sophia and, increasingly, Mother Mary.
Along the way, I began to recognise my deeper longing: relationship with God. I wanted to love Him, to become capable of loving others more faithfully, and to place my life in His hands.
Even the books and practices I was moving beyond had helped me recognise that longing. However winding the route, it was bringing me back to Christ.
The Seven Sorrows and a Watershed of Tears
In September 2026, I felt drawn to honour Mary as Our Lady of Sorrows. The first time I prayed the Seven Sorrows Rosary, I cried.
A flood of tears came. Through them, I recognised my heart’s longing to belong fully to Mary. Soon afterwards, I understood that belonging to her meant belonging to her Son.
As I continued with the Seven Sorrows and the Rosary, my desires began to change. I longed for prayer, worship, Scripture and participation in church life. I began to hope that I could come home.
Meditating on Mary’s sorrows also helped me bring my own grief into prayer. Her faithful presence beside Jesus showed me something about love that stays through suffering.
That September experience remains a turning point in my life.
Moving with the Spirit of Love
I am learning to recognise the movement of the Holy Spirit through a growing desire to love God and neighbour, to pray honestly, and to serve with humility.
This is what I mean by moving with the Spirit of Love. It involves listening, testing what I understand, and allowing my choices to change as my faith deepens.
Most recently, this has meant closing my Tarot reading services and changing the direction of Angelorum.
My years of searching have given me particular compassion for people who feel spiritually exhausted, uncertain or caught between worlds. I hope my writing can offer companionship as they turn towards Christ.
My own daily life now includes the Rosary, Scripture, contemplative prayer and worship with other Christians. I am still learning how to live what I believe.
I share more of the personal journey behind this change in Come to Me, All You Who Are Weary.
Tarot remains part of my contemplative practice and spiritual study. I continue to find value in its imagery through Christian Hermeticism, prayerful symbolic listening and the work of writers such as Valentin Tomberg. Although my professional reading services have ended, Tarot remains one of the subjects I write about here.
A Note About the Archive
Angelorum contains many years of writing, including articles from periods when my beliefs and practices were very different.
As the site changes, I am reviewing that archive. Some material will be revised, some given additional context, and some withdrawn. Older articles may therefore describe practices or views I no longer hold.
This page explains the faith and intention guiding my work today.
You Are Welcome Here
Angelorum is Christian and Marian, welcoming readers across all faiths and denominations.
Perhaps you are returning to Christ after years away. Perhaps you are curious about Mary, learning to pray, or wondering where you might belong in church life. You are welcome to arrive with questions.
My hope is to offer thoughtful writing that helps you make room for prayer, grow in friendship with God and live His love in ordinary life.
You are also welcome to follow this next chapter through my newsletter.
