The second book I read for my research project was "The Mysterious & Unknown - Angles," by Stuart A. Kallen. This book was actually so interesting and I underestimated it first going into it! This book went into raw depth about how different cultures see angels, what they mean to them and what they represent. I learned a lot about how different cultures don't always believe angels are spirits in the sky that are with god. Many people see them in individuals that they meet in their every day lives! Someone that could be made BY God but is still their guardian angel in a way.
I also learned about many people explaining their experiences with angels. These experiences usually take place during times where there is a lot of tragedy, such as natural disasters, car accidents, and more commonly during war. But angels also aren't always positive! Satan was a "fallen angel," and some of the time, angels are known for being mischievous! I learned a lot of interesting information that I honestly had no clue about, and as I kept reading it made me more excited to continue doing research!
Im really curious how different cultures may see the idea of angles and I bet it was really interesting to read about. I bet reading about peoples experiences with theses spirits was also very intriguing. My friends mother claims to have seen an angle during a near-death experience and she now has a relationship with the spirits so I wonder if her story would be similar to that of other cultures. I underestimated my book too. I definitely thought it was going to be boring but it was actually really interesting! Nice post!
