good angel

Benevolent spiritual guide

A good angel is a benevolent spiritual being, contrasted with a bad angel or demon.

The phrase often appears figuratively for a person who provides moral guidance or protection: She was my good angel through those difficult years.

In older moral allegory, a good angel whispers righteous counsel while a bad angel tempts toward sin.
