Product Description
This "Egyptian Tarot Divination Set" includes the "Egyptian Tarot," which originated in France in the late 18th century, and its comprehensive commentary, "The World of Egyptian Tarot" (published by Toyo Shoin).
While the "Rider Tarot," "Marseilles Tarot," and "Thoth Tarot" are generally considered to be the most famous tarot decks, the "Egyptian Tarot," which originated in France in the 18th century, became a huge hit due to its connection with the idea that "ancient Egypt possessed secret wisdom."
Its innovative illustrations, featuring motifs of Egyptian mythology and symbolism, its card layout featuring hieroglyphics, and its beautiful design reminiscent of Egyptian art have captivated countless tarot users.
Despite its longer history than the "Rider Tarot," the classic tarot deck, the "Egyptian Tarot" is not as well known. Even today, several tarot card decks are being released by overseas tarot card publishers, but unfortunately, it cannot be denied that many users simply view them as "tarot decks with Egyptian-style illustrations."
One reason for this is likely the lack of accurate information about the Egyptian Tarot. Despite the deck's distinctive usage, distinct from the Rider and Marseille Tarot decks, this fact has not been accurately conveyed.
This set includes the original deck (22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana) faithfully republished in modern times by an author with 20 years of research and practice in the Egyptian Tarot, while remaining faithful to the traditions that originated in France. It also includes a comprehensive guidebook, "The World of Egyptian Tarot" (hardcover, 152 x 220 mm, 224 pages).
- As this is an original deck created by a Japanese researcher, you won't get lost in translation issues. You'll also be able to easily navigate the unique names of the Egyptian Tarot.
・Each card is designed with its corresponding astrological symbol, number, and alphabet. This allows you to focus on your reading without the stress of having to memorize or look up the card.
・We focused on the visibility of the cards, using pure white for the Major Arcana and vibrant colors for the Minor Arcana, each suit unique. This makes reading intuitive and makes for great photos on social media.
・The book "The World of Egyptian Tarot" is Japan's first comprehensive guide to the Egyptian Tarot. It covers everything from the history of the cards and explanations of the Major and Minor Arcana, to specific uses and how to spread them. This long-awaited book for tarot fans provides an insight into the system and appeal of the Egyptian Tarot.
The appeal of tarot cards, which is not found in "classic" tarots like the Rider and Marseille versions, is appealing to everyone, from tarot beginners to professionals. However, it is especially recommended for the following people:
- I want to try a tarot deck other than the Rider, Marseille, or Thoth decks.
- I want to delve deeper into the world of tarot.
- I'm interested in Egyptian civilization.
- I want to incorporate a new divination method.
The Egyptian Tarot, along with the Rider, Marseille, and Thoth decks, has been passed down for over 200 years and is considered the "fourth tarot deck." This set will allow you to fully experience its charm and wisdom.
