'''[[Archangel Gabriel]]''' is an [[archangel]] with power to announce [[Yahweh|God's]] will to men. He is mentioned in the [[Bible|Hebrew Bible]], the New Testament, and the Quran. The [[Abrahamic religion]]s all recognize Gabriel as an [[angel]]ic spirit. Many [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions — including Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism — also revere Gabriel as a [[saint]].
'''[[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.


In the Hebrew [[Bible]], Gabriel appears to the prophet Daniel to explain his visions (Daniel 8:15–26, 9:21–27). These are the first instances of a named angel in the Bible. Gabriel's main function in Daniel is that of revealer, responsible for interpreting Daniel's visions, a role he continues to have in later traditions. The archangel also appears in the [[Book of Enoch]] and other ancient Jewish writings not preserved in Hebrew. Alongside the [[Archangel Michael]], Gabriel is described as the guardian [[angel]] of Israel, defending its people against the angels of the other nations.
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.

The Demon-Possessed Tarot is a deck of Tarot cards created by occultist Travis McHenry. The deck uses the 72 Goetic demons and six additional 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.

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 grimoires). The meaning of each card is printed on the card, so even a beginner would be able to work with the deck.
