Well in the Golden Dawn and Thelemic traditions it's mentioned that the angel HRU is set over the operations of "Secret Wisdom" and is often invoked before using the tarot for divination.
Who is HRU? There is some material that states that HRU is equivalent to Heru (Horus) or Heru-Ra-Ha (In the Thelemic tradition). This may just be the case for people working within those traditions though, and I don't know if it would apply to oracle or angel decks.
I don't really know much more than that. I think in Angelic traditions people suggest invoking Metatron, might be something to look into.
I think when you create your own deck you have to work with it for some time before the symbolism "comes alive" whereas in premade decks many people have worked with them so you are tapping into that.

Not sure why the official Oracle cards are much better.
