It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode. - Voltaire (Angels) [ posted by Willa @ 21:35 ] [ link me ] ----- Though in the order of nature angels rank above men, yet, by scale of justice, good men are of greater value than bad angels. - Saint Augustine (Angels) [ posted by Willa @ 21:26 ] [ link me ] ----- November 22, 2001I am well aware that many will say that no one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he is living in the body. Many say it is all fancy, others that I recount such things to win credence, while others will make other kinds of objections. But I am deterred by none of these: for I have seen, I have heard, I have felt. - Emanuel Swedenborg [ posted by Willa @ 20:55 ] [ link me ] ----- November 20, 2001Then a woman said, "Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow." And he answered: Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that hold your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. - Kalil Gibran, "The Prophet" [ posted by Willa @ 12:59 ] [ link me ] ----- Sulamith Wulfing art [ posted by Willa @ 09:53 ] [ link me ] ----- November 19, 2001Smithsonian American Art Museum: Abbott Thayer.

See Greek god ATHENE): Like her Greek parallel, Minerva was a goddess of war, and another virgin as well. She was considered highly intelligent and because of this she was thought of as the ruler of music, the written word, arts and craftsmanship, and overall wisdom. Like the Greek Athene, owls were considered sacred to Minerva, representing wisdom. She was a very wise warrior, respected by the Roman Legions. Her celebration was held concurrently with the five day festivities to Mars, always during the Spring Equinox. She was also the guardian of women's rights, just like her Greek "sister", so here is another appropriate name for your liberated cat. [ posted by Willa @ 21:16 ] [ link me ] ----- Greek Cat Names: ARTEMIS (Female): This goddess was a real feminist. She was patron to young girls and provided comfort to women in childbirth. She was known as the virgin huntress, and she chose to spend her time among a clan of toughened nymphs living in the greatoutdoors of a land called Arcadia. Artemis was also called "Mistress of Beasts" and "Goddess of Wild Things." . . . The race of warrior women called the Amazons worshipped her as the goddess of the New Moon.

(from an email) I think the wings are mostly decorative--they don't need them to fly, they can materialize and dematerialize at will, and *think* themselves to other places. The wings are, oh, like a cat puffing itself up, or a peacock spreading its fan--for intimidation or courtship purposes.

The other is Raphael Venibbeth: An angel invoked in conjuring of invisibility Vretil: The archangelic keeper of the treasury of Sacred Books. He is said to be wiser than the other archangels.

POSTAL HISTORY [ posted by Willa @ 16:26 ] [ link me ] ----- Peters, Speaking into the Air, excerpt I see something of God in each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then, In the face of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass, I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign'd by God's name, And I leave them where they are, for I know that wheresoe'er I go Others will punctually come for ever and ever. - Walt Whitman [ posted by Willa @ 16:25 ] [ link me ] ----- What are Unclaimed Letters?

It was from these hesitant and irresolute creatures that humans are thought to have originated. Angels A to Z, pg. 413 [ posted by Willa @ 11:44 ] [ link me ] ----- Christian Puritan writer Increase Mather (1639-1723), in Agelographia states, "Angels both good and bad have a greater influence on this world than men are generally aware of."

[ posted by Willa @ 11:34 ] [ link me ] ----- Index of Angel names, magical words, and names of God [ posted by Willa @ 11:30 ] [ link me ] ----- Early Christian theologian Origen (ca. A.D. 235) held the view that each person had a good angel to guide him and an evil one to tempt him throughout life. This view was also popular in Jewish tradition and in Roman literature. Angels A to Z, pg. 187 [ posted by Willa @ 10:18 ] [ link me ] ----- Origen (ca. 185-254), both the greatest biblical scholar and the most original mind of the patristic period, attributed to angels a subtle or athereal body. He also believed that angels are capable of falling from their high estate. Most fathers of the church, however, repudiated this view of Origen's as heretical. In his philosophical masterpiece, De Principiis, Origen affirms that angels derive their position or rank according to their merit, and further hypothesizes that angels are neither impeccable nor unredeemable. Origen also treats the notion of guardian angels, suggesting that we are both tempted by evil spirits and guided and guarded by good ones--specifically that one angel is assigned to everyone as his or her protector.

From Sarah's Archangels (List of angel names) [ posted by Willa @ 15:31 ] [ link me ] ----- Angels walk upright, speak Hebrew, and are endowed with understanding; they can fly in the air, move from one end of the world to another, and foretell the future . . . They have the shape of man, but consist half of fire and half of water. (Encyclopaedia Judaica, New York: Macmillan, 1971; p. 968) From Angels A to Z, James R.
