This comprehensive discussion and analysis of angels comprises a playful Lacanian analysis treating the question of angels from several angles. It deals with the theoretical speculation of theologians and philosophers, the efforts made to model human lives on the existence of the angels, and the importance of creating for the angels a world in which motherhood and the values it represents are essentially good. The author looks at the fate of the fallen angels - the devils and demons - and their commerce with witches, and discusses the revolutionary shift in the idea of a human subject effected by Descartes. He goes back to pagan sources to offer a definition of masculine and feminine identities and addresses the question of how the sexes were divided before angels were unsexed.
