Sing, Frights of Angels!

from Hobsession · host Selkie and the Anchoress

It’s nearly Christmas and we are surrounded by depictions of angels. On the Christmas tree, on greeting cards, in movies, beautiful humans in fluffy wings and halos abound. But angels were not originally thought of as beautiful and benign helpers. Heidi and Becki look at the sometimes fierce and terrifying history of angelic beings and how we tamed them to match the psychological needs of the time.
