Summary

Jason from the Dragons in Genesis podcast returns to discuss Angels in this 2-part episode! Flora and Jason dive into the history and origins of the concept of Angels in this first part of a two part episode. Where did they come from? Did they always look like what most people picture these days? David and Jason tackle some fascinating comparative mythology and also begin breaking down the hierarchy of these wild religious beings. Leave behind what you think you know - these things have morphed and changed more than a Power Ranger on his tenth cup of coffee!

0:00.0	Welcome to Blurry Photos, I am your host, David Flora. Hello. Or perhaps I should say Halo,
0:21.2	although after this episode you might find that might not be entirely accurate, but we'll
0:26.8	get into all that and more because this episode is all about angels. They're in America,
0:34.5	they're in the outfield. Where'd they come from? What are they? Are they really that good at the
0:40.5	harp? Well, no, actually those instruments they're often depicted with aren't actually harps,
0:46.5	so don't trust them, they're big liars. But that iconography came from somewhere as did

1:51.2	and always good to talk to you. So glad to have you back with this with something that we
1:58.9	probably have touched on here and there. Usually we're the ones touched by an angel. Now we're
2:05.2	going to be touching the angels. Yes, yes. And other pop culture references.
2:10.0	Well, we'll we'll tell those celestial beings to be not afraid and start poking at them.
2:15.2	That's right. Yeah. And we'll we'll send ourselves on fire and really spook them.
2:19.5	Oh, absolutely. Now you've come across a fair bit of angelology in your journeys. In fact,
