Sometimes, I just wish I could separate the major arcana from my decks. Though that would take a while and when you want a quick reading its too much effect. So here we have the first of my Triple Egyptian Deck. The Egyptian Tarot – Grand Trumps by Silvana Alasia. Nothing but the major arcana. I have had these since November 2017.
The Guide Book
To be honest, apart from the cover, the book is black and white and whilst having a pretty pattern around the pages, its pretty standard.
There is a brief introduction to Egyptian creation of tarot via Thoth. It comes with a single layout and meanings for the cards are a single key word and brief description. The book is written in English, Italiano, Espanol, Francais, Deutsch and Russian.
There are also a few ‘note’ lined pages at the end of the book.
The Egyptian Tarot (Grand Trumps) Cards
The 78 cards I found are surprising tall at 5.5 inches by 3 inches wide.
I found them a bit hard to shuffle at first, not just because of the height but because of how bendy they are. This is most likely due to the fact they are painted in tempera on a papyrus background.
The image are full of little symbols and are highly individualised so they are great if you are a visual reader.
I tend to use these in conjunction with my other three Egyptian Decks as archetype cards.
