Do you believe in Angels?
Angels are found in many religions or spiritual paths. The word Angel is a mix of old English Engel and the old French Angele. Both come from the Latin Angelus which in turn comes from the ancient Greek Angelos, which is translated as 'messenger' this is related to the Greek verb (angello) which means 'bear a message', 'announce', 'bring news' etc.
In Kabalah there are four worlds, our world is the newest and is the world of action, (Assiyah) Angels are said to exist in the worlds above our world, and are known as a task of God. As extensions of God they produce effects in our world.
In Christianity Angels are spirits of good, love, compassion, messengers of Jesus Christ. Angels are mentioned throughout the Bible, for example, Psalms and the earliest depiction of Angels in Christianity is in the Catacomb Of Priscilla
In Islam Angels are mentioned many times, Islam is clear that Angels are messengers of God, Angels do not have free will and only do what God commands. Believing in angels is one of the 6 Articles Of Faith In Islam
In the Bahai faith Angels are described as people who ‘have consumed, with the fire of the love of God, all human traits and limitations’, and have ‘clothed themselves’ with angelic attributes and have become ‘endowed with the attributes of the spiritual’ They are blessed beings who have severed all ties with this nether world' according to Abdul-Baha
In Zoroastrianism there a different types of Angel, everyone has one guardian angel which are called Fravashi, they manifest God's energy

I do believe in Angels, having been lucky enough to have had several astonishing Angelic encounters.
The feelings? Love Joy and Peace
The message? Universal Unconditional Love -for every single person
Lesson? Love of the self -this frees us all and helps us to achieve true peace and joy
The idea of a Guardian Angel is an immensely comforting one, the thought that there is always a friend there in times of need. Angels are endlessly fascinating to humans, the belief in Angels is widespread and worldwide.
I have several amulets which I keep either on my person or close by, one is a slice of wood with an engraved Rune, one is a Rose Quartz palm stone with an engraving of an Angel on it, this is always kept in my pocket.
'And through it all she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection whether I'm right or wrong'
