"AngeLynx" is a 52 card divination deck, the product of over ten
years work by John Sacelli — shaman, astrologer, and spiritual
counselor. The cards are meant to correspond to the 52 Strengths not weeks
of the year. In Angelish, YEAR means YE ARe — our place in time. The
MA-THEMATICS Mother's Themes of Angelish are organized by six symbols.
From the LWB (Little White Book - the booklet that accompanies the
deck):

"Angelish". From Spelling Casting spells to Righting; Correcting Miscast

The artwork for this deck lies very much in the area of fantasy and
imagination. Faces and forms are easily seen in the cards, which are
colored in dark tones of green, red, orange, brown, yellow, and black.
No lightweight pastels for this deck! We find faces in the Mystery
(almost a "Green man" look), Hibernation, Hibernation, Intuition, Fear,
Resent, Mary, Nose, Guru, Seizures, Words, Understand, and Nun cards. In
each card, the face brings out different emotions, and different
themes. Another "them" that I did note ran through the cards, whether
intentional or not, was that of the Chakra's. Cards featuring what
could be taken to be a chakra type feel were Irate, Image, Right, Gold,
Tale, Kinky, Existence, Chemistry, Eight, Holy Grail, Management, Atone,
Insects, Holocaust, and Ascendance. Drugs features human forms amongst a
forest of trees, and Crone features an almost "Buddha like" figure,
with their head bent in prayer.
