Egyptian Tarot | Alasia, Tempera on Papyrus

Amazingly detailed and gracefully beautiful, Alasia's tempera-on-papyrus paintings meld the stunning style of ancient Egyptian art with the mysteries of the Tarot. To shape the interpretations, Alasia relied on the conceptions of Jean-Baptiste Pitois, who linked the Tarot tradition to the legendary Book of Thoth. Replete with ancient and exotic symbols, these cards speak to the soul.

Includes booklet.

Why We Carry It

Alasia painted these in tempera on papyrus, which is why they look like nothing else on the shelf. The Egyptian tarot tradition is a nineteenth century invention rather than a genuine ancient lineage, and knowing that does not spoil it. It is a beautiful system with a long working history of its own.
