Angels

Ok let give this a try, I have vaguely skimmed over Angels and Demons never taken an interest, but as Demons are always mentions I kinda know what there are and what there about, from many different views, but Angels not a clue, I joined the public chat as fallen angel, dark angel and arch angel where mentioned to me the all portray a angel that is know longer on a righteous path but apparently there is differences. Could anyone give me a link to a good source or clear this is up for me please.

Here are two about fallen angels/archangels. Like most posts out there, it is religious. There are no written facts about such things, only opinions and what people believe they have seen.

The best thing is to sift through many sites and see what seems to repeat itself through all of them ;)

Thank you

If you look at the history of "angels", you'll find that there is actually a connection to them and what was originally, to put it in general terms, nature spirits and deities. Sidhe, fae folk, Hermes (a messenger like "Gabriel"). Most predominantly the Egyptian goddess Ma'at who had wings on her back and is the goddess of balance, truth and justice. Winged people were common depictions in Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Halos also stem from sun disks.

Do I believed in winged spirits? Certainly! It is obvious with as many depictions as there are spanning the world. But if you want to learn about angels, I feel that learning about all beings who meet their description is appropriate and enlightening. If the beings are indeed real, they would and do appear all over the world. So why limit yourself to one perspective? ;-)

If you would like to purchase a book on the subject there is The Encyclopedia of Angels by Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Retails for around $18.
