Wings symbolize, first of all, protection - they seem to cover their owner, taking all adversity away from him. It is the wings that are the prototype of angels who protect against illness and misfortune. In all cultural traditions, wings are, first of all, a symbol of spirit. Wings are given to those who have overcome a long, difficult and dangerous path of understanding the world around them and, in the end, are able to free themselves, go beyond the boundaries of the earthly world, beyond physical limitations.
