Seeking comfort in the company of angels at the turn of the year.
Reading Sally Vickers – ‘Miss Garnet’s Angel’ set in Venice & focusing mostly on angel Raphael, but the other major 7 get a mention: Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Mishal, Saraquel, Gabriel & Remiel.
The origin of the above are mentioned in the novel. Whether it is from the Talmud, the original versions of the bible or some ancient Persian text are not important.
Reflecting this mood, I was also listening to the Masada String Trio – Azazel: book of angels & Marc Ribot’s Asmodeus.
John Zorn’s Tzadik label is certainly doing it’s bit to revitalise the angels.
Maybe I should watch Wim Wenders ‘Wings of Desire’ again soon.
