Angels: Messengers of the Gods by Peter Lambon Wilson
This new and completely redesigned edition is a dazzling display of angels in art, folklore, literature and scripture, around the world and through the ages. Peter Lamborn Wilson explains how philosophers, mystics and artists have envisioned the messengers of the gods since ancient times: their appearance, work, nature and surroundings, and presents some of the most important angelic narratives. This is a celebration of the sacred origins and artistic evocation of angels across every tradition: Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Taoist, Classical, pagan, Native American and Zoroastrian alike. Five abundantly illustrated Themes sections complement the text.Ec(o)logues and Escape from the Nineteenth Century & Other Essays are two of Peter Lamborn Wilson's earlier books. He currently resides in upstate New York.
