A spiritual messenger created by God as a way to communicate with human beings. Angels most commonly appear in the shape of a well formed human with bird-like wings of white or gold, and they may have a halo over the head or surrounding the entire body.

Angels also appear in the form of fire, lightning, clouds, or they may be invisible. They may appear or disappear suddenly, and they can fly.

They are divine beings blessed with great wisdom and the ability to pass judgement correctly, but they are not without fault.

If they lapse into sin and are caste out of heaven they are known as fallen angels, if they devolve further they may become demons.
