Egyptian Tarot (Alasia) has a beautifully structured design, where Egyptology is seamlessly fused within this living deck of Ancient Egypt. The author combines Egyptian history, mythology, and everyday life to create one of the most widely read Egyptian Tarot decks.
The card artwork is stunning. Painted as if in watercolor on papyrus grown along the banks of the Nile, the images contain the mysteries of Egyptian magic. If legends are true and Tarot was born in ancient Egypt, then the Egyptian Tarot deck by Silvana Alasia is a recreation that brings it back into our world thousands of years later. The deck is published by Lo Scarabeo and comes with an instruction booklet.
The highly detailed, refined, and beautiful illustrations appear as if painted on ancient papyrus in a striking style inspired by ancient Egyptian tarot art. The cards come alive with the grandeur and subdued rhythm of this ancient desert culture. For interpretation, Silvana Alasia drew on the concept of Jean-Baptiste Pitois, linked to Tarot traditions and the legendary Book of Thoth, a foundational text on Egyptian magic. The Egyptian Tarot by Silvana Alasia is rich in ancient and exotic symbolism, and within these cards speaks the soul of Ancient Egypt.
The Major Arcana follows the traditional Rider–Waite–Smith style. The Minor Arcana follows the Marseille tradition, enriched with elegant Egyptian signs and objects.
The Egyptian Tarot by Silvana Alasia is one of the most prestigious decks. Used alone or combined with other decks, it is an ideal choice for deepening spiritual Tarot reading. This deck is not for beginners; rather, it is a valuable addition to a serious Tarot collection and best suited for experienced readers.
