Hm...being Christian I go with God and angels having been there from the beginning because I believe God has always existed and was not 'created' by organized religion...but I am mindful that there are folks here who have different beliefs and this is quite all right. :OD

I don't believe in the traditional idea of winged babies or winged anything and I do not believe in the traditional hierarchy of angels either. Personally I think angels really need no wings.

I believe they can be spirits with no physical bodies or translated human beings (such as Enoch and Elijah and James the Beloved was it? please feel free to correct me anyone if I'm wrong I'm weak on biblical knowledge unfortunately) and I believe there are angels of light and angels of darkness.

I classify loved ones who have passed on to the next world as angels and I believe as permitted they can visit family members still living, either in dreams or very rarely appear to someone but I always believe they do so for a distinct purpose. I believe that the presence of angels can be felt at times depending on how spirtually receptive one is at any particular time. I believe their presence is most strongly felt however in holy places. I believe in guardian angels.

I believe angels are powerful and awe-inspiring beings much more so than they way they are traditionally portrayed in popular culture. I believe they serve God but they are not a separate species...they are also his children as we mortals are.

Anyways...that's what I believe pertaining to angels :)
