The Angels

Angels exist, all of the major religions states it in their texts: the Old and New Testament, the Koran, the Torah, the Hindu texts ... All the great mystics have recounted their encounter with the "light beings". Their role is still that of an intermediary between God and man and to protect humanity. 

It is not known when and how the angels were "invented" by God. Saint Augustine believed them to have been created at the same time as light itself. However, they did precede the creation of man and are higher in the scale of evolution.

This is probably why we all have guardian angels, like big brothers who watch over us and tries to educate us to accomplish our mission here on Earth, to our best. However, the more we try to accomplish our mission, the closer they are to us and the more willing to help us. We should therefore never hesitate to put our angel to contribution, to talk to him and ask for his advice. 


The most complete and active tradition on the behalf of angels is the Kabbalah, which describedthem as consisting of nine armed legions of eight angels each, each one governed by a rector: the closest one to God is that of the Seraphim led by Mettatron Serpanim, then comes the Cherubim conducted by Jophiel, the Thrones led by Cassiel, Sachiel ruling the Principalities, the Virtues led by Samael, Michael leading the Powers, the Principalities by Aniel, the Archangels led by Raphael and those closest to men, the Angels conducted by Gabriel.

Finally, you must also know that every angel of the tradition has his counterpart: a fallen angel, just as in life, evil vs good, black vs white, night vs day, etc.. This reproduces the duality that exists in the cosmos and underlies the universal balance, also called contrast.
