4 <strong>The</strong> Card Deck and the <strong>Angel</strong>s<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are 32 cards in the <strong>Kabbalah</strong> <strong>Angel</strong> <strong>Tarot</strong> deck,<br />

of which the first 22 angelic images are equivalent to<br />

the Major Arcana of the traditional <strong>Tarot</strong>. <strong>The</strong> other<br />

10 cards relate directly to the power centres of the<br />

kabbalistic ‘Tree of Life’. <strong>The</strong> latter relate to the ace<br />

and the two to nine cards of the standard or classic<br />

<strong>Tarot</strong> number cards (in which they occur as<br />

pentacles, swords, cups and wands).<br />

<strong>The</strong> first 22 angel names represent angels of the<br />

ninth order in the hierarchy. <strong>The</strong> angels 22 to 31<br />

relate to the Tree of Life and belong to the<br />

Archangels (eighth in the hierarchy).<br />
