Angels



I recently experienced a sync flap around the subject of "Angels" which began when I took my son to buy a halloween costume at a shop called "Angels". Secondly I met somone called "Angel" and thirdly a colleague at work mentioned "Angels" to me confirming the synchronicity.
I come from a "catholic" background so have a fairly orthodox concept of Angels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael etc), that of the Abrahamic religions ie Angels as messengers of God / instruments of God's will,also that Angels are generally benevolent, although that doesn't prevent them having a protective function (as in Guardian Angels) or even a wrathful/punitive function eg Azrael. and of course Satan is supposed to be a fallen Angel.
As I write this post I note the date is Nov 2nd (celebrated as "All Saints day" by catholics) Nov 1st is "All hallows/All souls",  ( October 31st being Halloween /All Hallows Eve ) which brings to mind "Angels and Demons" and the age old battle played out on the world stage and perhaps invidually in our own lives on a psychological level.. "as above so below."
