Watcher Angel Tarot

Opened, not used, excellent condition

The Watcher Angel Tarot is inspired by the story of the Watcher Angels, heavenly beings who chose to fall to earth for the love of human women. The story of the Watchers is mentioned briefly in Genesis but is more fully expounded in a text known as the Book of Enoch. This text was cut from the Bible in the early centuries of Christianity but nevertheless had a significant impact on both Medieval and modern angelology. Promethean elements lie at the heart of the Watcher Angel myth, and in many ways the Watchers themselves embody the concept of stolen fire from Heaven. They themselves are the fire, for they exported sacred magickal teachings and shared them with their mortal lovers, revealing the arts of prophecy, root-cutting, cosmetics, and metal-smithing to the early humans of their mythic world.
