I'm obsessed with this song lately (Fallen Angel, Roger Daltrey).

Then again, I'm obsessed with angel mythology and legends ANYWAY. I'll read a lot of things about angels. Sometimes just to point and laugh about how they got things wrong (Doreen Virtue is one notorious offender). Seriously, folks--Biblically, angels are not handsome blond men in white loincloths who run around saving people from bad dogs.

Biblically, angels are really fucking creepy. They've got a few hundred eyes, extra arms, wield swords with their mouths, and stuff like that. Angels weren't meant to HELP humanity directly. They were meant to keep things away from humans or to slay demons (hence, St Michael). Over the centuries, though, angels were watered down a bit into friendly guardian spirits. I like the idea of everybody having a friendly guardian spirit--someone that cares for them and protects them from cosmic nastiness.

I wonder if I've got one, or whether he/she flew away a long time ago?
