'''[[The Demon-Possessed Tarot]]''' is a deck of [[Tarot]] cards created by [[occultist]] [[Travis McHenry]]. The deck uses the 72 [[Goetic demon]]s and six additional [[hierarchy of Hell|Grand Princes of Hell]], matching these 78 spirits with 78 [[Tarot]] cards. The correspondence of the deck combines the ability of each demon with the traditional meaning of each Tarot card, forming a syncretic bond between card and demon.
'''[[Lilith]]''' is a female figure in Mesopotamian and [[Judaism|Judaic]] mythology, theorized to be the first wife of Adam or a primordial [[demon]]. She is thought to be mentioned in the [[Bible|Biblical]] Book of Isaiah, and in Late Antiquity in Mandaean mythology and Jewish mythology sources from 500 CE onward.


Each card contains the summoning [[sigil]] of the [[demon]], its seal, and other pertinent symbols or invocations that may be required to summon or protect against the demon while working with them (as instructed by the ''[[Lesser Key of Solomon]]'' and other [[grimoire]]s). The meaning of each card is printed on the card, so even a beginner would be able to work with the deck.
Lilith appears in various concepts and localities that give partial descriptions of her. She is mentioned in the Babylonian Talmud (Eruvin 100b, Niddah 24b, Shabbat 151b, Baba Bathra 73a), in the ''Book of Adam and Eve'' as Adam's first wife, and in the [[Zohar]] as "a hot fiery female who first cohabited with man." Many traditional rabbinic authorities, including Maimonides and Menachem Meiri, reject the existence of Lilith.
