What does the pagan dark angel mean?

You really need to narrow down what you mean by pagan. There are hundreds of pagan religions. Angels play an important role in quite a number of them. In this instance I suspect that it was supposed to portray the wiccan goddess, but I would have to see the image to tell you more.

Fallen angels are demons that went with Lucifer- otherwise known as the angel of light,father of lies, satan- when God cast them from heaven into h-ll. God sent them their because Lucifer wanted to be god, he was the most marvelest of all angels, and his pride took him too far. All of those angels that supported lucifer went with him into the lake of fire "H-ll".

Ignorance of what it is.  They hear "magic" and assume that must mean we're summoning demons to do our bidding.  So they attack the image they have of it.\n\nTrue, they use the word Pagan to mean something insulting.  Personally, I don't allow other people to define that word for me.  That would be like me trying to define Christian and saying ALL Christians fit that description that I made up.  So, what they call me and what they mean by it doesn't bother me.  It's when they make up stories or spread false information and claim to be a truthful person, THAT annoys me.  The group as a whole can't claim to be persecuted when they continue to do such things based in ignorance and hatred.

If i remember correctly a winged seraph is a certin type of angel. If memory serves me correctly that were used in the protection of the lords chariot and i believe there were also the angles that guarded the way back into Eden after Adam and Eve sinned.

In religion, folklore, and mythology a demon is a supernatural being that has generally been described as a malevolent spirit, or daemon and djinn. A demon is frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled.\n\nI don't think a vampire falls within the definition of demon, nor does it even come close to the ancient origins of the meaning of demon.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon  Read here for how the word Demon has radically changed its meaning from ancient times to now.\n\nVampires are mythical or folkloric creatures, typically held to be the re-animated corpses of human beings and said to subsist on human and/or animal blood (hematophagy), often having unnatural powers, heightened bodily functions, and/or the ability to physically transform. Some cultures have myths of non-human vampires, such as demons or animals like bats, dogs, and spiders. Vampires are often described as having a variety of additional powers and character traits, extremely variable in different traditions, and are a frequent subject of folklore, cinema, and contemporary fiction.\n\nNow the definition of Vampire eludes that some cultures have demonized the "Vampire" in myth.\n\nRead up on both, but the way I'm seeing this is...no.  Vampires are not true "Demons".

No, that's one of the definitions of "sorcery".\n\n"And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries (pharmakeía), nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts."  Revelation 9:20-21 \n\npharmakeía - means the occult, sorcery, witchcraft, illicit pharmaceuticals, trance, magical incantation with drugs

In Persian (Iranian language):\n\nFereshte ye Tariki\nفرشته تاريكي\n\nFereshte = Angel\nye (in this situation) = of\nTarik = Dark  --->  Tariki = Darkness\n\nYou rememberd me "The Edge of Darkness". It was one of the best TV serials I've ever watched.\n\nBe success Angel of Darkness ;)

Lol Ville Vallo as a devil worshipper that's hilarious. Ville has said that the symbol a heartagram is a symbol of love and hate and the balance of good and evil. Not many famous people belong to the Church Of Satan. Those who do, will willingly mention it. Also Ville did not change his infernal majesty to H.I.M. because people were getting upset they did it just so people wouldn't think they are apart of the occult. They change their name often at first it meant Hanson Is Murder then it changed to His Infernal Majesty Ville has said he may want it to stay him because of its simplicity.

The Devil is neither a sub-god nor half-god. The Devil was once Lucifer, an angel in God's realm of angels. He lost favor with God by wanting to rule and have his own way and, as a result, was kicked out of Heaven. The Devil has many deceiving powers, but he cannot and will never over-power God. At the end of time, only God knows when that is --not even "the Son of man",Jesus Christ, knows when it is--the Devil will be bound and cast into the eternal lake of fire found in Hell. His followers will discover the same lake of fire(reference: Revelation, the last book of the Bible).

The Lucifer thing is a Christian invention. Judaism rejects the whole concept of Satan as a fallen angel and/or Satan in competition with "God".\n\n< Lucifer or Phosphorus (the "Lightbearer"), in classical mythology, the name for the planet Venus as the morning star; the planet was personified as a youth, the son of the dawn goddess Eos, and the brother of Vesper, or Hesperus, the evening star. A verse in Isaiah 14:12 alludes to the King of Babylon as "Lucifer, son of the morning"; in the belief that this verse contained a reference to the fall of Satan from heaven, the fathers of the early CHRISTIAN church -- not Judaism -- attached the name Lucifer to Satan.\n\nOn this Isaiah verse in the Jewish bible: "This translation of the Bible does not use 'Lucifer'at all, but rather, uses 'O shining one, son of the dawn!' and further, footnotes it with 'a character in some lost myth'."\n\nJudaism does not have a concept of a "devil" or fallen angel. Angels do not have free will, so they cannot choose to disobey God as humans can. >

well I've been a pagan for a long time and I've never heard the term but if its anything like a hedge-witch then its someone who practises by themselves, in other words they don't belong to a coven.

Look at the context:  It's clearly the messenger angel speaking of Michael the Archangel:\n\nDaniel 11:1 says, "I [the messenger angel], in the first year of Darius, the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen [the archangel Michael]. " Michael had helped out that angel about three years previously (Dan. 10:1)  when the decree allowing the Jewish people to return to their land was issued. Apparently the demon named "the prince of Persia" (Dan. 10:13)  was trying to prevent that return, and that's why Michael needed assistance. That gives us insight into how the holy angels enforce God's will in the midst of demonic activity. \n\nThe messenger angel brought a revelation of God's future plans for His people. Though Daniel was told that his people would continue to suffer through the tribulation until the establishment of the millennial kingdom (Dan. 12:2) , it was a comfort for him to know that his people would be under the protection of God's holy angels throughout that period.

At 2nd Corinthians  chapter 11, verses 14 and 15, the Bible reads,  "And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works."\n\nHere, the Devil, who is also called Satan, is described as posing as something he is not - an angel of light.  In reality, he is an angel or messenger of darkness.  To deceive people, he disquises himself and his human agents as something good so that people will follow him.  \n\nOne way he does this is by using false religious organizations which appear to be good on the outside but that are evil in their practices.  You might have read about such religions whose priests molest children or encourage their members to kill people in warfare.\n\nOriginally, Satan was a righteous angel who turned bad by his own choice.(Ezekiel 28:14,15)  Back then, his name was not Satan or Devil.  These are terms by which he came to be described.  Satan means slanderer or opposer.  Devil means liar.  This angel gone bad is both of these things.

welcome to Judaism my friend. We mearly see the "devil" as the angle of death and a servant of Gd. Personally I do not know where that whole fallen angel garbage came from.

It is a metaphore. Like when they say that Jesus was the son of light. People are afraid of the dark, but as soon as you turn on a light they are not afraid anymore. Therefore, darkness "represents" evil and goodness is represented with light.

Lucifer was the Anointed Cherub. Anointed means to be set apart for Gods Divine purpose. It also means "bestowal of Gods divine favor", and "appointment to a special place or function."\n\nGod had given Satan a certain amount of power and authority. But he perverted that power. Lucifer wanted to exalt himself above God... rather than "just" being the Angel of God.
