Angels on Promotional Clothing

Tuesday 09th of March 2010 04:19:32 AM

During the 1990s promotional clothing not only promoted businesses. It also promoted angels. At one point, no matter where you went, you were sure to see angels. They were on clothing, book jackets, jewelry, decorator accessories, and restaurant walls. But like most trends, angels were replaced by new icons eventually. But were they?

It seems angels didn’t disappear. They just moved on to new promotional material. Where once you saw angels on mostly printed t-shirts, now you can see them self-help literature.

Angels seem to have become popular in the self-help genre of literature. Some of the recent publications include “Working With Angels” and “In the Arms of Angles.” But there are also books on angels that are not self-help. Take the book, “Angelology” for example. This is a book about bad and fallen angels who do not help anyone.

The book that uses fallen angels as the main theme was written by Danielle Trussoni. The book focuses on Nephilim mentioned in the Bible book Genesis. The Nephilim are the offspring of angels and humans which is an interesting concept. Of course, Trussoni takes creative license and gives the Nephilim an identity not based on anything except imagination. In her book, the Nephilim are iridescent monsters and not anything you would want serving as a guardian.

Angels have fascinated people for thousands of years. Angels are interesting characters because they can be guardians or avengers. The idea that each person has an angel watching over them is folklore that provides much comfort through life for many.

Angels may come and go in popularity, but you can find plenty of people who believe they exist even when not acknowledged. But what if they do exist…only because men and women believe? It’s an interesting idea to ponder.
