For nearly 30 years, Angel Morgan has built a devoted following by helping people seek clarity, healing, and connection through psychic readings, mediumship, and animal communication. A longtime media personality, she spent seven years as the in-house psychic on Newstalk 1010, hosted her own television show, Raising Energy, and has appeared on dozens of television and radio programs throughout North America.
Indie Entertainment Media recently had the opportunity to interview this dynamic individual about her remarkable work, experiences, and evolving practice. (I had the opportunity to experience a private session with Angel firsthand, and found her insights to be remarkably accurate, deeply perceptive, and genuinely memorable.)
You are a psychic medium, clairvoyant, and animal communicator. How do those abilities intersect in your work?
This is a fantastic question! Many energetics believe that they can only do one or the other—this or that. I learned from medicine people in South America that the only limitations we have are the ones we place on ourselves. For me, energy is energy. The only difference is the package the energy comes in. I believe that if I can speak with someone who has crossed over and is human, I can do the same with an animal, or anything for that matter. I believe everything has a spirit, and that is what I am connecting to.
The work I do with humans and animals helps bridge the gap between them. It aids in nurturing relationships. I also work with spirit animals. When a person knows what that is, it deepens their knowledge of themselves and their purpose in this lifetime. It’s incredibly healing. It helps so many move forward in life, whether they feel stuck or are already growing and expanding.
After your many years as a medium, what are some of the universal questions that people have?
I have so many, it’s challenging to pick, but I think my top five over the last 30 years are:
- Are they still around us?
- Is my loved one okay? (People and pets.)
- Will my pet reincarnate back to me?
- Are they happy with what we did for them at the end? (People and pets.)
- Do they know we love them?
I find that a lot of the time, the focus is on the loved one and how they are. With animals, we are always asking if we did the right thing and whether they are coming back to us. I find that when people come to a reading, the questions are more about others than even themselves.
Your work includes communicating not only with loved ones who have passed, but also with animals. What can animals help to reveal about their humans?
I always say, if you want to know anything about a family, ask the animal, lol! They are always willing to tell you what’s going on. A young boy, whose parents are still my clients, saved his life by telling us what he was really feeling. With that, we were able to address some deep issues and get the help that was necessary. He is thriving today.
Is there a particular animal encounter that has shaped the way you understand communication or consciousness? Yes.
One of the very first conversations I ever had—which still makes me emotional as I write this and recall it—was one I wasn’t expecting. Early on in my calling, when my child was little, he and I were at one of those parks where they had whales in captivity. During one of the shows, I remember we had gone downstairs because all of the seats were taken above.
At one point, we could hear the trainer playfully question where one of the whales was going. He dove down and went right to my child through the glass. Everyone stepped back. I thought for sure that he was connecting to my little 6-year-old, as we knew at this point he was an animal communicator too.
But shockingly, he turned and came to me. In that moment that we connected, I remember everything he downloaded. I could feel loneliness and joy. I could feel deep sadness. It was so overwhelming that it brought me to my knees. I will never forget that. When the whale was finished showing me images and feelings, he went back up and continued the show. I would have questioned it if it hadn’t been for my child coming up to me, putting their hand on my shoulder, and saying, “It’s okay, I felt that too, Mommy.”
I’ve never gone back to that park or a park like it. It was far too overwhelming. I realized that day the depth of emotion that animals have.
Animal communicators all have a forte. I can read any species and connect to any species, and I love them all. But exotics are my specialty, so my channel to them is the strongest. I feel them on such a deep level. To this day, that was one of the most impactful experiences I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a few, lol! Some were hilarious, others poignant, but all taught me lessons that have helped me become the communicator I am today.
What makes a personalized reading with you emotionally meaningful for the individual receiving it?
I think it is the level of compassion, understanding, and genuine passion for my work that I bring to the table. Connecting to an ancestor, loved one, or pet is only a part of the work. Helping people feel comfortable and validated in how they feel and what they are looking for is also important. I also come to the table with humor. I find readers can be serious and stuffy. I’m anything but, lol!
I also find that spirits themselves need closure and connection, so my work can be as meaningful and emotional for the ghosts that show up.
In the end, we all get something from a session. It deepens my abilities, families get the closure or guidance they need, and so do the spirits that bring them to me.
You are an established media personality. How does conducting a reading on air differ from working privately with someone one-on-one?
The energy is more ramped up in media. The messages come through faster, but they are always just as accurate.
I am literally energetically connecting to hundreds of people when I am onstage and thousands, if not more, over the airwaves. My show, “Creature Code Podcast,” airs out of New Orleans, and my show alone reaches 580,000 people each week around the world. So, the vibe is electric.
I also love the challenge of having to listen more acutely onstage to my spirit team so I can pinpoint exactly where a message belongs. I don’t like it when readers pick a general section and make general statements in audience settings.
And it’s always hilarious when people come in groups to a show because I will say something to a person that’s so embarrassingly true that they don’t want to admit it, but their friends are laughing behind them because they know what I’m saying is so spot-on, lol!
People often seek a medium after experiencing a loss. How do you approach those conversations with compassion while setting responsible expectations around grief and healing?
I will always start by asking my own guides to give me the eloquence necessary for a situation like this. Then, once I tap in, I just relay the messages I am given. I try to keep it simple so as not to overload people.
I truly feel for all involved, whether the loss is a parent, pet, spouse, or even a child. I am not a grief counselor, but I do my best to listen to the needs of my clients and the spirits attending. I also have one on staff, as I do believe we can’t work alone, and I refer people to the appropriate places if need be.
What signs tell someone they may be ignoring their own intuitive voice—how can they begin to trust it?
When someone is on the wrong track in life or struggling. When we listen to our intuition, we are in alignment, and that usually attracts the right people and circumstances. We all have things happen that can set us back, but when we are listening, the answers and ways to move forward can be seen more clearly.
I preach: listen, dismiss nothing, and, as long as you are not hurting yourself or others, act on what you get. And if you still feel like you can’t, that’s what a tribe is for. Talk to them. Listen to what they have to say. Sometimes they are the best ones to help guide you back to your own intuitive knowing.
The other thing you can do is ask one simple question: “What am I missing? Guide me.” The ancestors will hear you; then it’s up to you to listen. When you do, it will give you confidence in your own abilities and intuition.
How do you respond to skeptics?
I absolutely love them! I started out as a nonbeliever, then I became a skeptic. Then, with all the experiences I began having, it led me to becoming a believer. Now, I live in the knowing.
I truly believe that when we come to the table to learn from each other, we can always find a middle ground, and I find skeptics always have the most interesting perspectives. They keep me real, so I always welcome the conversations.
Have you ever attempted to communicate with a person or animal who has passed on but was unwilling to engage? If so, how do you handle that situation?
Yes. In that case, I will connect to their guides, guardians, angels, and archangels—the spirit team. I find this happens a lot with animals who are in rescue positions. They don’t trust humans.
I’ll ask to go up to the next level and either receive messages and information from their spirit team, or I ask the spirit team to let them know I am someone they can trust. That’s pure magic because watching the shift in the animal in that moment is incredible. I’ve had aggressive cats jump up on my lap and peacefully fall asleep.
Looking back on thousands of readings, where do you find inspiration today?
I find inspiration in some of my clients who are so open and have such incredible energies that it keeps me motivated. I also love it when I get accurate information from spirits. It really is so much fun.
I also find inspiration in the spirits I connect to when I am in ceremony, and from what I am taught by them and the amazingly gifted energetics I work with and encounter.
Really, talking to animals and ghosts is inspiring no matter how you cut it. I have the coolest job out of all the kids on the block, lol!
You mentioned you have interests in the paranormal. How are you expanding your practice to incorporate this interest?
Yes. I have a show that I tour called Spirit Box. Years ago, I realized that machines and spirituality can really work together. These machines, which have no investment in what I’m seeing or feeling, will pick up on exactly the same thing at the same moment. It’s very validating.
Because of this, I created a show where I read people traditionally in the first act, and then in the second, we bring out a Spirit Box to assist. This is a piece of equipment that works on frequencies and will bring out the voices of the dead. We’ve had some amazing moments! I remember in one show, I said that I had never heard animals come through the Spirit Box, and in that moment, we heard a pack of dogs. We’ve had the voices of family members say things that only that audience member would know.
It’s creepy and cool all at the same time. It’s an experiment, and it’s one that everyone enjoys.
I had the opportunity to experience a private session with Angel firsthand, and found her insights to be remarkably accurate, deeply perceptive, and genuinely memorable.
