Angels

Whilst I'm here, can anybody add any infomation on 3 avenging angels: senoy, sansenoy and semangelof, who were sent to fetch or kill Lilith. I can't seem to find any mention on the internet

Just ran 'senoy' thru Google and came up with 163 hits - first page shows plenty of stuff which sound like what you're after.
 
Elvis

Is anyone out there interested in talking about the religious and cultural significance of Elvis Presley in the modern world (some see him as a modern day prophet, some as an Angel and some as a Messiah and of course some as the devil) A quick search for religious connections to Presley will alert anyone to the sheer scale of the influence of a dead rock`n`roller. Not unlike the Life of Brian scenario re: how easily mankind follow, maybe need to follow perceived charisma. This is the first time I have attempted to converse on a message board so if I have not abided by the protocol please accept my apologies, If anyone is interested in this subject or anything in this area contact me on this board or via my e-mail
 
Hey. The weirdest things happen to me...

When I'm really upset (here I go again) I sit on my bed and I wrap my arms around myself and I curl up into a ball while I'm crouching. When I was little and I did this I used to pretend that I had wings and that I had them curled around me.
I've heard of these things in medicine called phantom limbs. Apparently they occur when someone loses a limb but I was wondering of it has ever happened tosomeone who has never HAD the limb in the first place.
As far back as I can remember, whenever I did the curl-into-a-ball-and-wrap-wings-around-myself thing, I could actually FEEL wings around me. Not like someone else's though. Like they were MY wings.
A few weeks ago I was doing this and my father walked into the room. He startled me a bit and I looked up at him. When I did he was standing there staring at me funnily :eek: (I make up my own words, bear with me). I asked him what was up and he said that for a second, he thought I had wings.
Explain that one peeps. :confused:

I agree. I suspect that many things are indeed as "real" as you or me, but could be someone or something other than we might believe them to be.

I personally believe in virtually everything, not only because I've experienced a goodly amount of the paranormal, but also because I think the amount of hubris required to say that one knows for a fact that anything is impossible is just embarrassing.

I believe that entities exist, and interact with us, that have no corporeal form, and that some of them can take any form that they damned well please. I think it can be difficult to know what one is encountering. The Bible warns to beware of dark angels masquerading as angels of light, and my guess is other spiritual traditions speak to this as well.
 
So where does the Metatron fit in?
My father always told me about him but I can't remember who he was or what he did...

AFAIK the Metatron is the voice of God. In other words God can't communicate directly and so he speaks via the Metatron.

I think I may have picked that up from the film Dogma, in which Alan Rickman (I think) plays the part of Metatron.

I thought Metatron was one of the Transformers (Robots In Disguise!)?

He's the baddie in Die Hard...
 
Re: Alan Rickman

Wasn't he in the first Harry Potter film as well?
 
If a film has an evil genius in it, these days it's probably Mr. Rickman. Although he was the good, but moody, 'doctor' in Galaxy Quest.
 
Wow. Thankyou SO much. That was AMAZING. He's so gorgeous but he was best in Blow Dry. He plays a hairdesser in that one. So cute!
OK, deep breathing
In
Out

Out...:madeyes:
 
Of course, who could forget his performance as Obadiah Slope in The Barchester Chronicles?

OK, lots of people.

I like Alan Rickman, although not to the same extent as Ms Churchill, and I am always quite disappointed that he's been horribly typecast by Hollywood. (Apart from Galaxy Quest.)
 
I saw an Angel..I was about three years old and it was as clear as day...HUGE.. just floating there..I remember thinking how strange it was because I could see it's feet...My Grandma wouldn't look were I was pointing and she just dragged me up the road..I don't think she beleived me and I never mentioned it to her again..but I DID see it.
 
I don't believe in Angels, not in the way Christians do. For that to be right all that nonsense that Catholic scholars spouted during the middle ages would have to be true and it isn't.
If there are big floaty people in bathrobes playing lyres, well they could be anything, but a messenger of the Christian God? Nah.

He has a continuing role in the Harry Potter movies as one of the major characters.
He was wonderfully untypecast in "Truely, Madly, Deeply." Which I hope to actually see the end of some day.

Thanks Midnight. It's been bugging me that I'd seen him somewhere else before Dogma. That film, Truly, Madly, Deeply really haunts me and I'd love to see it again.

As to angels, I believe that there may be shape-shifting entities, who can at times be invisible and may be protective towards us lesser earthbound beings. But I doubt they have divine provenance.
TBH I'm baffled as to where the proponents of angelology and demonology got all their information. Presumably there were in the Middle Ages extant works referring to angelic beings, and which have since been demonized by the Church. But that being the case, wouldn't it be a little like us in modern times including as gospel all the spiel allegedly channelled from space beings?
 
There were a lot of monks who had to find something to do to stop them getting urges and things...writing books about Angels' wingspans and suchlike.
 
I sincerely hope that isn't how you are spending your time IJ!:eek:

I love the scene where his live girlfriend is sitting watching old movies with he and all the other ghosts crowded around the tv & sofa.

I believe there's "something out there" or actually a whole bunch of them. I don't believe in angels per say, I don't believe they're all knowing or infallible. I think they help where they can, and they are less than our concept of 'divine' but obviously more than we are. MHO. :)
 
I have a Dictionary of Angels, it's most informative. Did you know there's an angel called Shitinichus? Well, how would you pronounce it? :D

Must be your Scots accent. You say Shit-in-a-case, we say Shitty-Knickers.
