Help[Opinions] Re: Seraphina
in reply to a message by Perrine
"I read about seraphims some time ago and they seem to suffering (burning all the time or something, I don't remember exactly)"
I almost choked on my tea. The seraphim is described as fiery creature. Some people take this to mean they have fire abilities almost like an elemental and others view them to be more figuritively fiery as in zealous or passionate. There is a point where one picks up a coal and is totally unfased, which is one of the reasons some people depict them as having fire powers or immunity toward the elements. No where have I read about them being in pain due to fire; they are supposed to live in heaven.
What I found odd about them is their six wings, which they sometimes wrap around themselves.
"Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly." ~ Isaiah 6:2
