The Egyptian Tarot: (78 Full-Color Cards and 154-Page Guidebook)

The Egyptian Tarot: Deck & Guidebook by Oliver St. John is a valuable addition to the Qabalistic canon as the first figurative tarot that is fully color integrated according to the schema of the Golden Dawn. Utilizing English Surrealist Ithell Colquhoun’s interpretation of the Golden Dawn correspondences, St. John has shared a unique take on the seventy-eight-card tarot.

The guidebook provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the structure of tarot and the Qabalistic correspondences that shape the deck. By preserving traditional elements and representing ancient Egyptian symbolism and principles, The Egyptian Tarot continues the ages-old practice of ritualistic divination. Explore ancient traditions through beautifully illustrated and colorful cards portraying the hieroglyphs and neteru of ancient Egypt.
