[I'm curious about your beliefs on what an angel is, they are beings I have very rarely experienced, and have mixed feelings about them in general, although they've never appeared malevolently.
Whatcha think?
I think Angels are the messengers & servants of God. They do his work. They add guidance to the lives of human beings. Everyone has a Holy Guardian Angel & if you studied Crowley you will understand that a lot of his work was getting in touch with the Holy Guardian Angel his was named Aiwass. My Guadian Angel is one of the Archangels "Michael". He has revealed himself to me many times & changed my life. I have seen one real angel when I was in New Orleans but usually they don't appear phyisically to me but I can sense them & read them if they surround a person.
Greetings Archangel 777,
In Hebrew Tradition according to Kabbalistic Traditions the "Name of an ANgel" represented the duties of an Angel as assigned unto them by Adonai "The Lord." Many instances I have found regarding angels in a traditional sense do indicate they are messengers of God or Intercessors for Humaity.
It appears in the Traidtions of Judaism, at least, that Angels originaly did not have Freewill. They did as they performed their offices as they were created for them. It was not until the Rebelious Angels or "Watchers" according to the Book of Enoch that they refused to obey the Newest Command of God and bow before humanity. This is also evident in the Koran where Shaitan refused to bow before man because he considered man to be imperfect, as well as, bowing before any but God was considered a transgression.
I have also read that each person has a unique Holy Guardian Angel, and then there are ANgels for certain dispensational ages. Crowley's Aiwass, is I would consider, a dispensational Angel. In the Golden Dawn we believe that the Holy Guardian Angel or Higher Genius is actually an Archetypal Aspect of the Unconscious of the Individual. Their is the Unconscious which would be represented by a unique Higher Genius or H.G.A. and then their is the Collective Unconscious of Mankind which in my opinion would be overseen by an even Higher Angelic Archetype, similar to the World Soul or Animus Mundi.
To relate a personal experience of an Angel that has visited me on at least three occassions, Once when I was performing the Sacred Magick of Abramelin to receive knowledge of the Holy Guardian Angel. After performing specific Rituals as outline in the treatise "The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage" and purifying and consecrating myself for a period of 6 months, I received a vision of an Angel that appeared in the midst of the Incense smoke one morning. It first appeared distant but as it flew toward me it grew to fill my vision. It was of a greyish color and covered in light fur, it had feathers around the tufts of its ears like horns, and huge feathered wings. I had been asking to receive a specific guidance in regards to my upcoming college semster classes. Specifically in regards to being able to learn and perform well in Accounting, Business Math, and Keyboarding. I am presently making A's and B's in my college courses. This is something since I had dropped out of high school when I was 16 years old, and that was in 1980.
I believe just the appearance of an Angel especially your H.G.A. opens up the Inner Mind to Knowledge that one would not otherwise be able to access. Whether these gifts can be transmitted to others through human transference, I do not know, but in my estimations there is truly something real behind the manifestation of these Angelic Archetyps.
Respectfully,
