Guardians of the Tree of Life (8)

I believe the answer is:

cherubim

(Other definitions for cherubim that I've seen before include "Angels depicted as winged children" , "Angelic Children, often winged" , "Angelic beings grouped with seraphim" , "Angel" , "Angelic beings found with seraphim" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
