Re: Angels

Angel means messenger in hebrew I think. Angels are the beings that inhabit the upper levels of the astral planes. They are beings composed usually of "light energy" not ligh like sunlight or from a light bulb but thessence of light or positive energy. The are the same class of creatures as demons but of a different denomination. They hold great power. I belive they have been mistaken as deities and worshiped (as well as demons) in the past. Not all angels are nice or kind. They along with demons form the creatures wich reside on the level between humans and the greater deities. Angels are emmensly beautiful and many serve powerful gods or goddess. Angels have several levels and titles. The most powerful angels are like gods.

Re: Angels

I think angels and demons are the same creatures and that they are specifically associated with a certain diety, as in they work for a diety. We label them according to whether we like that diety or not, or whether we think the ideals they uphold are "good" or "bad". I don't think anything can be an angel based on those standards however. For instance if a human works for a diety, or toward their cause, that doesn't make them an angel/demon.

So to compound the first condition, I add that they have to be creatures of supernatural ability, including the one that allows them to travel to the realm in which the diety/dieties preside.

Pherhaps they are more of an energy being, perhaps they can take a physical form. What that is, how they are composed, those are questions I don't think it's nessecary to ask. I think the more important question is their purpose.

Re: Angels

I view them as being functions more than separate entities. They are the constructive force of the Universe. Whenever anyone brings up demons, I see them much as I do angels - only they are the destructive force of the Universe. They (angels & demons) keep the machines oiled & check on the timing belt.

Angels...

Hello everyone
Thank you all for your warm welcome.

I came across this whilst browsing and thought I would share it with you. If you wish to try it, please be safe and allow plenty of space between the flames and the ceiling! I'll certainly give it a try and if you do - all the best!!

Simple Angel Spell

Put three candles in the highest place you have at home inside a plate with sugar all around the candles.
Light the candles. Ask for three wishes to the Angels St Raphael, St Michael and St Gabriel. Ask one wish for business, one wish for love and one impossible wish.
Publish this spell on the third day after you requested the wishes by posting it to someone else, posting it in a newsgroup, or by announcing your thanks to the Saints in a newspaper classified advert, and see what happens on the fourth day...
