To many pagans the title angel is another word for a spiritual being who acts as a messenger between the realm of the divine (your higher power) and the physical plane (the mortal plane).

The image that is commonly used to represent angels is not the only image an angel can take on. I personally believe that angels can go by many titles such as spirits, guardians, spirit guide, fairy, sprite and so on. It really does all depend on how you view your personal messenger between yourself and your deity.

It is believed by most traditions and belief systems that this being has never been an incarnated state.
