Recently talking to people about my spirit guides I've been calling them "my angels" because saying that saves a bit of explanation. People tend to get what I'm talking about much faster, and also, I don't know how to translate "spirit guide" to spanish. "Espiritu guía" I suppose. It sounds odd to my ear.
I just want to know, is this accurate? Are spirit guides sorts of angels?
What
are angels anyway? And do they really have wings? What would they need them for???
