Doreen Virtue PhD is a prolific New Age
author with many books, products and workshops on angels
and angel-oriented therapy. She has produced several oracle
card sets, including ones focused on angels, fairies,
goddesses, and dolphins. These oracle cards differ from
traditional Tarot in that each card has an angel depiction
instead of the four suits of the Tarot.
With her Angel oracle cards, each card represents a positive
thought or belief; there are no negative cards. She has
also written books on the Indigo Children idea, as well
as on the Crystal Children idea.
Before she became involved in metaphysics, she was the
founder and former director of WomanKind Psychiatric Hospital
at Cumberland Hall Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, and
she served as an administrator at Woodside Women’s Hospital
in the San Francisco Bay Area. Both all-women psychiatric
hospitals specialized in treating women's psychological
issues. She also directed three outpatient psychiatric
centers, including an adolescent drug & alcohol abuse
center.
She publishes a large number of books and audio tapes
through Hay House publishers, one of the largest metaphysical
publishing houses created by author Louise Hay. Virtue's
healing work is similar to that of others such as Esther
Hicks and Ken Page, both of whom she has spoken highly
of.
