Angels Part 1

  Demons got air time yesterday, it only seems fair that angels get some as well.  My stance on angels is much clearer.  I believe in them.  They do exist, though probably not with white wings and halos.  They are energies or entities, depending on your perspective, that protect and guide us.  In the book of Enoch, seven archangels are named:  Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Sariel, Remiel.  They are sent to the far ends of the earth to watch.  The Wiccan tradition has what are called Ancient Watchers, which are for me a different name for those beings.
   Angels are light bringers offering hope and help.  They come in forms we might not recognize as angelic, but they come.  It is amazing how many of us have had angelic moments.  We just don't talk about them. I am fortunate that people will tell me about those experiences.
   Often the encounters happen around the death of a loved one.  I have sat a numerous bedsides as people pass from this life to the next.  I believe the angels gather as the time draws near.  The one passing can see them, we can't. The dying person will get a look in their eyes which tell those gathered that they are seeing something beyond this time and space.  The angels are gathering in preparation for the time to come. While angles may not be visible to the naked eye, they can be felt.  They bring warmth and peace with them.
  Many times people choose to die when the family goes for coffee or a meal.  The family is then upset because they believe their loved one died alone.  I don't think so.  I believe each person at that moment of transition is surrounded by angels who guide them on to the next step of their journey.  We never die alone.  We are held in the angels' arms with light and love.  Thank goodness for angels!
