I saw the topic on Angels and I think from the Abrahamic cult's Bible -which is all Judeo-Christian-Islamic's Bible, the Angels were all men and from my own reading it seems they were (in that book) meant to be admirers and worshipers and messengers of the God Jehova, ((also sometimes called the creator or Abba (Father))
I think the female angels come more from the wiccan and Shamanistic nature followers and lovers and also from deep mysterious symbologies and they are more like muses and inspirational sources.
To me, the Tantric Yogic Dakinis are of a lot of real interest, especially from a psychological stance, which again to me is the heart-crux of all things. These minds of ours are very complex and fascinating and work in many marvelous and mysterious ways. Literally Dakinis translates as "Female Sky Dancers" and it seems that symbolically they are just that - which really correlates more accurately with many peoples intuitive belief in Angels - although there also Dakas who are Male Skydancers as well..
Here is a link to a good site at Crystal Links about these Dakinis... in honesty I do believe in such things, but in a lot more than this as well. If any of you have read of any of my encounters with Reality Girl, she can shape shift and she can be a Dakini anytime she chooses to, but she is pure Spirit, not flesh and bone.
