[7] She has written more than 49 books, including ten encyclopedias.

Guiley died on Thursday, July 18, 2019, after a battle with colon cancer. [8] [9]

Works

Her works include Atlas of the Mysterious in North America (1995) – a listing of places in Canada and the US associated with mysterious occurrences; [10] The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft; [10] Harper's Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience – a reference book on topics related to spirituality, mythology and New Age; [11] and The Encyclopedia of Angels. [12]

In 2011, Guiley published Talking to the Dead via Tor Books, co-authored with George Noory. She was working with Darren Evans on the book The Zozo Phenomenon which was published by Visionary Living, Inc. [13]

Activities

Guiley was a consulting editor of Fate magazine and a regular guest on Coast to Coast AM . She has made television appearances on various networks, including A&E, The History Channel and The Discovery Channel. [14] Her work has been translated into 14 languages. [15] She took part in conventions and events like the International U.F.O Congress and Conference, [16] Vail Symposium, [17] and Michigan Paranormal Convention. [18]

Response

Christian evangelist John Ankerberg criticized Guiley's understanding of intuition (as she described it in Harper's Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience – "intuition invariably proves to be right"), saying that with beliefs like those, rational thinking and spiritual discernment are often discarded. [19] He also interprets from her book Angels of Mercy that she and other New Age writers of angel literature are unwittingly relating to fallen angels/demons. [20] In Angels of Mercy Ankerberg criticizes Guiley's assertion that "angels" should be trusted unconditionally without the fear-based belief that they might be demons, saying that it is irrational and that he believes demons are indeed impersonating angels.
