Egyptian Star Oracle - Travis McHenry

The deck is in English. The edges of the cards are gold foiled.

The Egyptian Star Oracle is the first of its kind to use only authentic Egyptian art, spells, translations, names and meanings to create a completely Egyptian divination tool.

The Egyptian Star Oracle is not just an "Egyptian themed" deck, but a genuine Egyptian oracle that uses astrology as it was practiced in 2400 BC, without Greek, Persian and Hebrew influences.

This deck is based on the astrology used by the ancient "star priests" of Asyut, who used it for divination and the calling of the thirty-six fixed stars, the "decanates". The cards are full of information, transformative energy and details of ritual magic. Experienced readers of the classic Tarot will notice many similarities between the meanings of this deck and the small deck of cards. At the heart of this deck are the thirty-six decans of Egyptian astrology. Each decan represents a specific star and deity. These are not the same as the thirty-six decans of modern astrology, although they are related.

The Egyptian Star Oracle is produced with exceptional detail, featuring 42 cards printed in full color with gilt edges, an extensive 144 page guide book and comes with a small Eye of Horus pendant. All this is packed in a sarcophagus-shaped box with motifs from Egyptian art. Acclaimed occultist and bestselling author Travis McHenry sourced all of the card images from ancient Egyptian art, including papyri, pottery, and tomb walls. The background of each card contains a piece of text personally collected by the author from the Pyramid of Tet in Saqqara. Each card contains historical details, meaning and ritual uses.

This oracle is ideal for art lovers, those interested in ancient Egypt, tarot historians and collectors.
