I'm with my sister, away on a trip. We sit around a table with an old family friend, SH. She asks for a pack of cards, and I present my oracle angel cards. my grandparents are in this place, nearby in the kitchen. I pick-up the box of angel cards which looks like a board game, displaying what the cards are. As I hold up the box which had previously been sitting on the bench for all to see, I realise my grandparents might see that they are esoteric, so I shield the box from them. I feel they would be upset if they saw I had something not biblical. I put the box back on the bench, where it previously was, without sheilding it overtly - playing off the likelihood my gr. parents wouldn't realise what the box was about if I didn't flash it. So I give the cards to SH who lays them out in a grid, approximately 4 across and 6 long. She then physically cuts each little pile of cards into four, at which I'm dismayed. My sister is there next to me, not flinching at the cards being cut, and I feel totally gutted that these special messengers of the divine have been sliced up without me being asked. The thing is, I didn't say anything to the group - I sat there, slightly panicked, watching the whole pack be cut up, feeling like I'd betrayed the cards.

Like all receptacles whose basic use is keeping or containing, the box is
a feminine symbol which can refer both to the unconscious (15) and to the
maternal body itself (31). We do not here refer to spherical objects, which are symbols of Oneness and of the spiritual principle. The myth of ‘Pandora’s box’
appears to allude to the significance of the unconscious, particularly in the special
sense of its unexpected, excessive, destructive potentialities. Diel relates this
symbol to ‘imaginative exaltation’ (15). In addition, we would like to point out
the analogy—the family resemblance—between Pandora’s box and the ‘third
casket’ which figures in so many legends. The first and second contain goods and
riches; the third discharges storms, devastation, death. This is clearly an example
of a symbol of human life (of the cycle of the year), which is divided into three
stages, consisting of two favourable thirds and one adverse. A superb elaboration
upon the Pandora theme is to be found in Dora and Erwin Panofsky’s Pandora’s
Box (London, 1956). Particularly interesting is the authors’ study of the literary
heritage of a myth, and the ways in which it may be adapted to serve the visual
arts.

A symbol of invisible forces, of the powers ascending and descending
between the Source-of-Life and the world of phenomena (50). Here, as in other
cases (such as the Cross), the symbolic fact does not modify the real fact. In
alchemy, the angel symbolizes sublimation, i.e. the ascension of a volatile (spiritual) principle, as in the figures of the Viatorium spagyricum. The parallelism
between angelic orders and astral worlds has been traced with singular precision
by Rudolf Steiner in Les Hiérarchies spirituelles, following the treatise on the
celestial hierarchies by the Pseudo-Dionysius. From the earliest days of culture,
angels figure in artistic iconography, and by the 4th millennium B.C. little or no
distinction is made between angels and winged deities. Gothic art, in many remarkable images, expresses the protective and sublime aspects of the angelfigure, while the Romanesque tends rather to stress its other-worldly nature.
Dreaming of angels will have a profound impact on your life. Holy, pure, divine, they are trying to convey an important message to you: they might bring more spirituality, joy, and peace to your life, if you have a clear consciousness. If it is not the case, they might remind you that it is time for you to think about your choices and actions, do you need to make things better? Three angels have a great symbolic signigication, try to listen to their message, it must have a holy dimension to it.
An immortal spiritual being which functions as an intermediary between the realm of men and that of the Divine.
