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 These handwritten manuscripts were previously unpublished, and contained the oldest-known source of the seals used to summon specific [[angel]]s. Travis photographed these seals and copied other information in the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.
'''[[Paganism]]''' is a term first used in the fourth century by early [[Christianity|Christians]] for people in the Roman Empire who practiced polytheism or ethnic religions other than [[Judaism]]. The overarching contemporary pagan revival movement which focuses on nature-revering/living, pre-Christian religions and/or other nature-based spiritual paths, and frequently incorporating contemporary liberal values. This definition may include groups such as [[Wicca]], Neo-Druidism, Heathenry, and Slavic Native Faith.
