-'''''[[Eyes of the Tarot]]''''' is a juvenile fiction novel written by American author Bruce Coville. The book is a mystical adventure made richer by accurate descriptions of [[tarot]] cards as well as techniques for utilizing the cards and Coville's suggested interpretations. In many ways, the heroine's experiences with the figures from the tarot mirror those found in Russian [[occultist]] P.D. Ouspensky's 1913 book ''The Symbolism of the Tarot''.
+The '''[[Hierarchy of Hell]]''' represents the organizational structure of [[Hell]] as envisioned by [[occult]] authors in their [[grimoire]]s concerning [[demon]]s, especially [[Goetic demon]]s. Depending on the source, different authors ascribe varying ranks and positions to different infernal spirits. The best sources for this information are ''[[The Grand Grimoire]]'' and the ''[[Lesser Key of Solomon]]''. The concept of the hierarchy and the categorization of spirits into various ranks seems to have been a serious preoccupation with the early authors of occult literature. Nearly every book on magic mentions at least a few demons and attempts to assign them a structure analogous to governments common in Europe at the time. They are all monarchical in nature.
-One notable technique for utilizing the cards involves sleeping with a specific card inside your pillowcase in order to commune with the figure on the card while dreaming. The book's tagline is: “Death is in the cards.”
+In most works dealing with the 72 [[Goetic demon]]s, there is a rigid hierarchical structure for the demons, grouping each of them into ranks of nobility (including a knight and presidents). [[Occultist]] author [[Travis McHenry]] further explored these demonic ranks in his book ''[[The Grimoire of Heaven and Hell]]'', giving the reasons various demons were assigned to their specific class of nobility.
