idk what the ship name is for John x Arthur x Oscar, but I think something involving Seraphims or Ophanims/Thrones would go hard

omg so this is halfway the ask meme halfway my own divine curiosity. im goddess Dike, like a reincarnate, but i want to know more about angels and the differences we have :000 what is the narrative that an angel NORMALLY goes by for A to be asked? then the rest of my questions are: B, (E is kind of... not relavant, with 5 faces. amazing. truly.) G, H, I, J, N, O, Q, R, S (YES PLZ), U, W, Y?? have fun ;) i hope this wasnt 2 much oml

Thank you for all the questions! This might get long, so I’m sticking the rest under the cut. 

As for question A, (any memories that are different from how most other angels remember things?) I don’t think there’s like a “set” narrative, however there are popular beliefs or interpretations that lots of angels seem to remember or subscribe to. One example is the existence of choirs/the Angelic Hierarchy or the way angels are classified. That is to say the nine orders, separated into three spheres: 

First sphere: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones (which may or may not be same as Ophanim depending on who you ask) - Second sphere: Dominions (also translated as Lordships), Virtues (also trans. as Powers), Powers (also trans. as Authorities) - Third sphere: Principalities, Archangels, Angels. 

This organization seems to be a common belief among angels, and most seem to remember it functioning this way, myself included. However, there are some who don’t remember it this way, or remember it differently, and they’re valid as well. 

Another thing that a lot of angels seem to remember the same way is The War and the whole ordeal with brother Lucifer. Ironically, this also seems to be one of the most divisive topics, and many angels remember what happened differently. Whether this is purely a result of bias or alternate realities, I can’t say. Ultimately, it depends on who you ask. I hope this is kind of what you meant, but if you’d like to discuss it further my messages are always open! Now to answer the rest!

“B-were you born into your current vessel, or did you claim it another way?”

Born into it. 

���G-an Angelic confession?”

Answered in a previous ask! 

“H-what was the first thing that made you suspect you were an angel?”

Feeling astral wings out of nowhere.

“I-ever astral projected or otherwise had an out of body experience?”

Answered in a previous ask! 

“J-Any symbolic things you’re associated with? (E.g. a certain number, planet, or direction)”

I’m associated with fire and smoke like most seraphim, but I’m also associated with eagles, and possibly snakes or serpents?  

“N-your favorite memory”

Not very specific, but sitting with my siblings on a ledge in the throne room, helping them preen, all the while singing our holy songs. 

“O-your worst memory”

Being ordered to go fight, striking my siblings down, watching them fall.

“Q-your weapon of choice, if you had one? If no weapon, an object or something you carried/used a lot?”

I didn’t fight often, it wasn’t my job. I only had to take to the battlefield when things got really dire. Only like 4 or 5 times in what was probably billions of years of existence as an angel. I didn’t use a weapon often, I remember striking others down with like… beams of light? Lightning perhaps? Maybe it was just my presence, focused and weaponized. Idk. I also recall using my wings in battle, as well as a bow and arrows. Although I think the bow was just a one time thing. As for something I carried around a lot, I could often be seen holding a golden censer.

R-the heavenly duty you’d be LEAST suited for

Carrying messages/interacting with humans, like Gabriel. It’s often said that “anyone who lays eyes on a Seraph would instantly be incinerated due to its immense brightness”. Can you imagine if I was tasked to deliver a message to a human only to incinerate them? “Hey Mary surprise you’re pregna- Uh oh. Okay. She’s uhhhhhh… We’re gonna need to find another lady.”   

“S-advice you’d give to someone just starting to awaken”

Don’t let others invalidate you. Remember the importance of UPG. Stay skeptical, but believe in yourself and your memories. It’s okay if sometimes you don’t feel divine, it’s okay to feel human, and it’s okay to feel bad. Past life regression guided meditations can be really useful for some! Research, experiment, meditate, write, think, do what works best for you! Have fun on your journey of discovery, and try to make the most of your human life. It might not seem like it sometimes, but this place is beautiful.

“U-have any weird memories from this life before you awakened that make sense now that you know you’re an angel?”

Answered in a previous ask!

“W-do you do any witchcraft/divination/etc to connect to your angelic side?”

Yes! I dabble in both witchcraft and divination, although I’ve a long way to go and a lot of practice to do. It’ll all really come together once I start successfully astral projecting. 

“Y-a completely random thing that reminds you of something Angelic”

Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey tastes like Heaven

Thank you dear, this was fun!
