Each of the 22 Major Arcana cards is attributed to a named angel: Michael appears as The Magician, Raphael in The Star, and the Moon card carries Elemiah, the hidden god associated with inward journeys. The angelic attributions are integrated into the card meanings and the guidebook's interpretive framework, not simply decorative additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artwork is described as classic-inspired, drawing from traditional spiritual imagery while remaining approachable.
