Background Beliefs Overview Traditions
Webster's dictionary defines the
word angel as, "a spiritual being superior to man in power and intelligence, an
attendant spirit or guardian, one in the lowest rank in the celestial hierarchy,

The prophets, seers, sages,
shamans, teachers, mystics, and wise persons of all Ages have been blessed,

Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and
almost all religious and spiritual belief systems including those of the
Babylonians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, and Vikings, contain references about
the intercessions of angels in their scriptures or sacred writings.
