-The '''[[Angel Tarot]]''' is a deck of [[Tarot]] cards created by [[occultist]] [[Travis McHenry]]. Like its companion deck, the [[Occult Tarot]], the Angel Tarot was highly influential among the esoteric and [[metaphysics|metaphysical]] community for its adherence to [[Kabbalah|Kabbalistic]] teachings and its depiction of [[angel]]s as more than just humans with wings. To research the deck, he traveled to the Arsenal Library (''Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal'') in Paris, France and examined three [[grimoire]]s of [[black magic]]. These handwritten manuscripts were previously unpublished, and contained the oldest-known source of the seals used to summon specific [[angel]]s. Travis photographed these seals and copied other information in the books, before returning to the United States, where he created the deck.
+'''[[Qebehsenuef]]''' is one of the four sons of [[Horus]], along with [[Hapy]], [[Duamutef]], and [[Imsety]]. Qebehsenuef is usually portrayed with the head of a falcon. In a funerary context, he was responsible for protecting the intestines of mummified people. As ruler of one of the four cardinal directions, Qebehsenuef was associated with the west. Although Qebehsenuef is most prominently found in funerary context as a canopic jar, he is possibly more closely associated with the [[Egyptian decans]]. Dutch Egyptologist Maarten Raven argues that the four sons originated as celestial deities, given that the [[Pyramid Texts]] frequently connect them with the sky and that [[Horus]] himself was a sky deity.
