At work I listened to the Hierarchy of Angels episode of Spirits, a podcast about myths from around the world. It was really refreshing to hear one of the hosts preface some Christian theology with "depending on the story," the exact same way they do for 3/4 of the other myths discussed on the show.

Also if you haven't seen some of the classical descriptions of angels, they're off the fuckin' chain. My favorite is the wheels within wheels covered in hundreds of eyes.

@starkatt Ah, everyone knows Ezekiel saw that wheel while he was eating mushrooms from the isle of Patmos. :-D

@Soreth @starkatt We're not entirely certain he didn't end up seeing a fairy instead of a ferry.
