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 These handwritten manuscripts were previously unpublished, and contained the oldest-known source of the seals used to summon specific [[angel]]s. Travis photographed these seals and copied other information in the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.
'''[[Horus]]''' is one of the most significant ancient [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian deities]] who served many functions, most notably as god of kingship and the sky. He was worshipped from at least the late prehistoric Egypt until the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history, and these are treated as distinct gods by Egyptologists.
