Angels (Hebrew - mal'ak); messenger
Angels (Hebrew - mal'ak): shekinah; Glory of God
The Hebrew word for angel is mal'ak, which means to dispatch as a deputy; messenger; ambassador. The Hebrew word "mal'ak" (מַלְאָךְ) literally translates to "messenger". "Mal'ak" comes from the Hebrew root "la'ach" which means "to send". The messenger can be human or a divine being. The "sent one" (messenger) can be envoy of a leader or a king who communicates the king's wishes and represents the king.
An angel can manifest himself (actually, angels are genderless, neither male or female), in all his God given glory or he can appear as a mere mortal (or not at all) depending on what he is sent to do. It is evident that angels can and do appear in the form of a man as stated in Hebrews 13:2 which says: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Glory of God (Hebrew - shekinah)
In the beginning, before Adam and Eve sinned, they were clothed in the (shekinah) Glory of God; they were literally covered with a glow which was the Glory of God. This glow was why they did not perceive that they were naked. God has this glow (Psalms 104:2), and being created in his image (and sinless), so did Adam and Eve, as seen in Genesis 2:25 ...And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Then, when they transgressed the commandment of the Lord, that glory departed and they perceived that they were naked. No more glow; no more clothing. From then on, the majority of mankind has been ashamed of their nakedness. Also, they could no longer endure the presence of God, since sin cannot exist in the presence of God; it is terminally fatal. Since then, God has had to shield man from his glory with a cloud to prevent man from being "burned to a crisp". Look at Exodus 24:16 which says ...And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud...
The "Halo", as we know it today, regardless of whether it is associated with angels or as seen in Catholic "art", etc. is another example of how religion has reduced the magnificent Shekinah Glory of God to a mere wisp of a ring.
Your Guardian Angel
Each person, group, or nation has a guardian angel. This is an angel that protect and guide us through life. Most often the idea is of an invisible entity, however, our gaurdian angel can be a person who helps us or protects from danger. That is, our gaurdian angel can protect us and our family and our nation from both physical and spiritual danger. When we listen to and follow the guidance of our guardian angel, they will help us to avoid sin and spiritual dangers, and gain entrance to heaven (a higher state of thinking and living). In many aspects, our mother, father (daddy) and ancestors act as our gaurdian angels.
Finding your Guardian Angel
How to find your gaurdian angel. You can find your guardian angel by looking for signs in your visions and dreams, your feelings, and other experiences while keeping an open mind. You might sense the presence of your guide by way of your intuition. Pay attention to dreams taking notice of any meaningful message within songs or any music. You may experience sudden insights from your guides, or a warm feeling or even a sudden chill. Pay attention to any and all symbols and physical sensations, thoughts and ideas.

Animals as spirit guides
Each animal carries specific symbolic traits that can be interpreted as guidance depending on how well one knows the character of that animal. We usually feel a strong connection to a particular animal which can become our primary spirit guide. There are several animals that serve me as spirit guides, but most often it is the eagle. Cultural significance can often play a part in which animal becomes our spirit animals, this can be seen in many indigenous cultures around the planet. The spirit guide animal is an animal that is believed to act as a spiritual mentor and often appear in our dreams, visions, or simply through repeated sightings. All of these become symbolic messages that provide us insight about our life path (to guide you in all aspects of spirit, mental, emotional and physical acts). Some of the common spirit guide animals are the bear (strength), the wolf (intuition), the eagles (vision), the owl (wisdom), the deer (gentleness), and butterflies (transformation). However, each person might see one or more characters within their spirit animal. Other strong spirit animal guides in my life are the lion and the hawk.
