Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck a review: Egyptian Tarot by Silvana Alasia Published by Lo Scarabeo 1996. €25 : £22 card size : 120mm x 66mm.
Based on Marseilles Tarot coupled with the enigmatic magic of ancient Egyptian inspired art by Otto Wegener and the art of French esotericist, Jean Baptiste Pitois aka Paul Christian (1811-1877), who told a story of having been given a manuscript by a Benedictine monk. During an ‘initiation’ in Egypt, he imagined the Tarot trumps which were created into cards in 1896 by Wegener.
Rods, Owls, Seords and Pentacles are the four suits. Each card has an interesting and meaningful image by Silvana Alasia who painted using tempera on papyrus. She also created the Tarot of Nefertiti, and the Tarot of Cleopatra.
