For sceptics, angels may be no more than metaphors: poetic devices to convey, at least for those with a religious sensibility, an active divine interest in creation. But for others, angels are absolutely real creatures: manifestations of cosmic power with the capacity either to enlighten or annihilate those whose awestruck paths they cross.
Angels : universal and archetypal -- Filling the space between earth and heaven -- Angels and demons -- Wings or no wings? : angels as messengers -- The great protectors -- Constant praise -- The chariot and the throne -- Angels and archangels -- Angel guides in the world to come -- Angel guides in this world -- Fallen angels -- Angels of retribution and redemption.
