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 These handwritten manuscripts were previously unpublished, and contained the oldest-known source of the seals used to summon specific [[angel]]s. Travis photographed these seals and copied other information in the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.
'''[[Satan]]''', also known as [[The Devil]] is an entity in the [[Abrahamic religion]]s that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. In [[Judaism]], Satan is seen as an agent subservient to [[Yahweh|God]], typically regarded as a metaphor for the'' yetzer hara'', or "evil inclination." In [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]], he is usually seen as a [[fallen angel]] that has rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of [[demon]]s.

In Judaism, Satan is seen as an agent subservient to God, typically regarded as a metaphor for the yetzer hara, or "evil inclination."
