Angels in Pagandom

I was surfin' the WWW and came across this blog entry: Pagans Do Not Believe In Angels
Click image for source

The author is writer and did a piece on Angels. A Pagan un-subscribed to her newsletter because of it saying: “As a Pagan I do not believe in angels and have unsubscribed from your newsletter.  Angels are Judeo-Christian and not Pagan” The writer felt bad, always liked Angels, got several books and cards about them. And even wrote about how the definition of angel is messenger, and pointed out that angels/angel-like beings existed in pre-Xian times.  Which is a fact I already knew of.

I know of (by way of reading) several Pagans who embrace Angels as a valid being.  It may not be within the hierarchy of Judo-Xian, but still there.  Angels seem fused with Xianity, but that is only because it's the mainstream religion, ergo dominate the symbolism in society.

Personally, I do not like Angels, even when I was a "Christian".  They don't do anything for me.  I don't begrudge anyone Angels if They speak to him/her.  I am more a Faery girl.

What do you think about Angels? Any personal experiences?
