Many are the reports of those who say they have seen angels, saints. Throughout history, some of these seers were regarded as mad or crazy.

During the Middle Ages, they were taken as witches and bonfires were fed with their bodies, every time they insisted on asserting the truth of their visions.

In the France of the XV century, a thirteen-year old girl started having visions. She was named Joana and she would become the heroine of France.

In a France shattered by the lack of patriotic love, she knew well rekindle the souls.

Joana d´Arc could identify specially three of the Spirits that appeared for her as being Saint Catherine, Saint Margaret and Saint Michael.

It is known that St. Michael has never declared it to be called so. She is the one that called him this way.

Perhaps because he appeared to her dressing as like she has seen him, in the church of her childhood, where she used to go and pray every day, the stone image as being this personality.

As about Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret, these are designated to Joana by Saint Michael himself.

During the interrogations she underwent in the process of condemnation, she said: I have seen Saint Michael and the angels with the eyes of mine, as perfect as I see you all.

And, when they went away I cried and wished they would take me with them.

But she does not only see and hear these wonderful creatures, she also feels them by touch and by smell.

I have touched Saint Catherine, as she appeared to me. And, referring to both saints, she continues: I hugged both. Smelled perfume. It´s nice to know that they smelled perfume.

Once, when she was asked if these saints of the church appeared naked to her, in an intelligent way, she answered:

Why do you ask me this question? Do you believe God would not have ways to dress them?

Those who have visions refer to simple costumes, unadorned, like a big white robe. Others describe in detail clothing and jewelry, that fit the time in which the characters, who appear, lived.

It should pass the time and revelations of their own Spirituality to make, so we could understand more about this spiritual world, where we came from and where we will return.

There is no vacuum, emptiness anywhere. Everything is filled with the breath of God, Universal fluid.

And it is this fluid which, according to their own will, each Spirit uses to reproduce the clothes they want, especially when it shows the psychic vision, to be identified.

The young heroine was all right when saying God had ways to dress the Spirits.

And, in simple words, taught us that the spiritual world is of great wealth, far surpassing the many that we know on the planet we inhabit.

It is a world of action, beauty, perfumes. A world that surrounds us and lives with us, the ones who move through the flesh, temporarily.

A world populated by beings that watch and protect us.
