Subject: Short Note on Angels and Devil
First, this is not a matter of angels OR devils, but of angels
AND devils. Both exist, and we interact with each of them.
The important thing is to be able to tell the difference between
the two. We know from Christ's own words that devils can
appear as "angels of light."
I don't know how much truth there is in this one, but there is
an old teaching that the devil disguised as an "angel of light," all
lit up like a neon sign and as sparkly as a Christmas tree
ornament, will always keep his/her/its feet hidden from the
percipient. That's because the feet will still be ugly, dirty,
sharp-taloned, paw- or claw-like things.
Anybody tempted to believe that all fairy-type creaturers are
sweet, harmlessly playful, totally innocent little sprites might do
well to read the horror stories of Arthur Machen (MACK-en),
especially "The White People" - who are extremely black entities
indeed. Familarity with the horror stories of the Rev. Montague
Rhodes James wouldn't hurt either.
