However, the laity often refer to post-mortal angels - in the idea that some people (eg. children who die) may become angels - so it is not outlandish!<br /><br />As for the idea of incarnate, embodied angels - this comes from a literal interpretation of the Biblical passages when angels appear to be exactly as mortal Men, indistinguishable. Those who assume that angels must be immaterial interpret this to be an illusion of the spirit (pretending to have a body, as it were; perhaps as a disguise) - but that interpretation seems to derive from the prior assumption that angels *must* be immaterial. <br /><br />As you personally believe in reincarnation - which has this similarity with my Mormon-derived theology that Men can exist as immaterial spirits - you might also decide or discover that such beings could 'work' as angels, perhaps temporarily... <br /><br />But anyway - we both agree that it is a potentially very inspiring and encouraging idea that Albion is indeed an actual angelic being - and not merely a symbol!

Actually I think most religions would go along with that. The best book I've read on the subject (admittedly from a list of one!) is Angels (and Demons) by Peter Kreeft.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-50595414639014757472017-12-04T00:08:15.810-08:002017-12-04T00:08:15.810-08:00William - Glad to have stimulated thought and spec...William - Glad to have stimulated thought and speculation!<br /><br />Angel, yes - but I recognise more than one type. The two main would be: pre-mortal Men, as spirits who work as angels; and post-mortal incarnated Men, likewise. So, some angels are incarnates - probably most are spirits. I would guess that angels of nations may be incarnates, who have dwelt in their nations - but it's just a guess. Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.com
