Angels and Archangels...


© Shannon McCracken-Barber

Whether Christian or non, Angels have probably have some kind of impact or curiosity to you.

The last time we discussed angels we heard a few interesting stories, once again, I would love to hear from everyone, your stories and ideas, even your philosophies.

I, being an artist, have always identified with the artistry surrounding angels and their beauty, (also their sex-lessness was always a curiosity). I found some beautiful medieval paintings; http://www.stjohndc.org/tour/angels.htm as well as some newer references.

This page has some wonderful imagery; http://www.AngelicArtistry.com/gallery.h... , (there is also a prayer page for the first artist listed who is battling cancer.

For Christians, archangels have always been a great inspiration; http://www.eliki.com/ancient/beliefs/arc... but some people have REALLY gotten into Angels; http://www.magicdesign.com/4angel.html

"The purpose and reason for this web site is to inlighten and inspire. To feel the beauty and warmth that vibrates from these beings of light. "

Many people of other religions have felt a closeness with angels as well and some have even integrated their ceremonies to include them. Here's a Wiccan page about Angels; http://www.maxpages.com/paganangel/wicca I know a few Wiccans and pagans who encorporate Archangels and are awed by them. I have never had the pleasure of seeing an Archangel or 'talking' with one but I've heard wonderful stories!

Please feel free to share any stories about angels or archangels that you might have.

The most recent time that I thought that I was being 'protected' was the other day. I was driving home from my parents and I suddenly thought that I should slow down, it was thundering out but it has been the whole way.

When I decided to slow down I heard a crack and then, about 3 feet in front of my car, lightening struck. The radio went fuzzy and I was so stunned that I didn't even realize what had happened for a few seconds. My heart was in my throat and I just looked up as if to say, "Wow! Thanks for lookin' out for me!"

So, that's my most recent 'coincidence' ;)

Thanks for listening and BB
