messengers from the sky

Carlo Crivelli's "Annunciation with St Emidius" (1486) Wikipedia

It is interesting to note that in many languages 'sky' and 'heaven' are the same word; for example, caelum (Latin), Himmel (German), ciel (French), cielo (Spanish), and hemel (Dutch). 

"The modern English word 'heaven' is derived from the earlier (Middle English) heven (attested 1159); this in turn was developed from the previous Old English form heofon. By c. 1000, heofon was being used in reference to the Christianized 'place where God dwells,' but originally, it had signified 'sky, firmament.'"

"[...] sky (n.) c.1200, 'a cloud,' from Old Norse sky 'cloud,' from Proto-Germanic skeujam 'cloud, cloud cover' (cognates: Old English sceo, Old Saxon scio "cloud, region of the clouds, sky;" Old High German scuwo, Old English scua, Old Norse skuggi 'shadow'; Gothic skuggwa 'mirror'), from PIE root (s)keu- 'to cover, conceal' (see hide (n.1)). Meaning 'upper regions of the air' is attested from c.1300; replaced native heofon in this sense (see heaven). In Middle English, the word can still mean both 'cloud' and 'heaven,' as still in the skies, originally 'the clouds.'"

"[...] The ángelos is the default Septuagint’s translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mal’ākh denoting simply ‘messenger’ without specifying its nature. In the Latin Vulgate however the meaning becomes bifurcated: when mal’ākh or ángelos is supposed to denote a human messenger, words like nuntius or legatus are applied. If the word refers to some supernatural being, the word angelus appears.

“Across the spectrum of organized religions people who acknowledge the existence of God, tend to make allusions to a God associated with a ‘Heaven above.’ This God is popularly viewed as having made directives as forms of commandments various doctrines associated with organized religions that humanity is obey.
     ‘Hell’ is then often associated with these organized religions and is imputed to exist in some kind of "below Underworld". However, African Elder, Credo Mutwa, suggests that before the intrusion of Manipulative Extraterrestrials through organized religion, earthbound indigenous peoples had appreciated God, as not to be associated with a ‘Heaven above,’ and that has made commandments.
      Rather, indigenous people critically appreciated Earth's biosphere to be the living expression of God.
     That is why indigenous peoples from Canada, the United States, and other parts of the Americas, as well as in Africa, have tended to seek to live in balance with nature. African Elder Credo Mutwa and Gnostic accounts documented by John Lash suggest that ‘Hell’ may have actually descended to Earth ‘from above,’ in the sky.
     Indigenous peoples tend to view God and Nature to be one, and they view humanity as having a spiritual and social responsibility to respect planet Earth.”

“The left hand of a dead man dipped in a milk pail causes cream.” — Irish saying

From: Ptak Science Books

“[…] Mr. Conway's The Prevention and Correction of Left-Handedness in Children appeared in 1936, at a time in which he and others saw left-handedness as a deterrent to succeeding in the newly industrialized world. The pamphlet emphasizes the training of children from infancy to overcome left-handedness, which came as a result of parental 'indifference,' who were unable to 'realize the seriousness of the handicap,' which was a ‘sinisitrial condition,’ a ‘disease’ that needed to recognized along the same lines as ‘rickets and pneumonia and colic.’ Much needed to be done to ‘stamp out the newly recognized disease, the curse of left-handedness.’”

“Historically, the left side, and subsequently left-handedness, was considered negative. The word ‘left’ itself derives from the Anglo-Saxon word lyft, ‘weak.’ In Ancient Greek both words meaning ‘left’ were euphemisms: the word ἀριστερός, aristerós (the standard word in Modern Greek as well) is derived from ἂριστος, áristos, best,’ and the word εὺώνυμος, euōnymos, ‘of good name,’ is another euphemism used in lieu of ‘ill-named.’
     The Latin adjective sinister/sinistra/sinistrum originally meant ‘left’ but took on meanings of ‘evil’ or ‘unlucky’ by the Classical Latin era, and this double meaning survives in European derivatives of Latin, and in the English word ‘sinister.’
     Alternatively, sinister comes from the Latin word sinus meaning ‘pocket’: a traditional Roman toga had only one pocket, located on the left side. [...]
     In Irish, deas means "right side" and "nice". Ciotóg is the left hand and is related to ciotach meaning 'awkward'; ciotógach (kyut-OH-goch) is the term for left-handed. In Welsh, the word chwith means 'left,' but can also mean 'strange,' 'awkward,' or 'wrong.' [...]
     The Scots term for left-handedness is corrie fistit. The term can be used to convey clumsiness. [...]
     In Sanskrit, the word वाम (waama) stands for both 'left' and 'wicked.'”
