Egyptian Star Oracle
The Egyptian Star Oracle is the first of its kind: an oracle deck that uses only authentic Egyptian artwork, spells, translations, names, and meanings to create a divination tool that is entirely Egyptian.
The Egyptian Star Oracle is the first of its kind: an oracle deck that uses only authentic Egyptian artwork, spells, translations, names, and meanings to create a divination tool that is entirely Egyptian.
The Egyptian Star Oracle is not merely an “Egyptian themed” deck; it is an authentic Egyptian Oracle, utilising astrology as it was originally practised in 2400 BC, with all Greek, Persian, and Hebrew influences stripped away.
The foundation of this deck is the astrology practised by the ancient “star priests” of Asyut for divination and evocation of the thirty-six unwavering stars known as "decans.” The cards are packed with information, transformative energy, and ritual magic details. Seasoned readers of the classic tarot will find many parallels between the meanings of this deck and the cards of the Minor Arcana. At the core of this deck are the thirty-six decans of Egyptian astrology. Each decan represents both a specific star and a deity. These are not the same as the thirty-six decans of modern astrology, although they are connected.
Produced with exceptional detail, the Egyptian Star Oracle features 42 cards printed in full colour with gilded edges, an extensive 144-page guidebook, and comes with a small Eye of Horus charm. All of this is packaged in a sarcophagus-shaped box adorned with motifs of Egyptian art. Renowned occultist and best-selling author Travis McHenry has sourced all the images on these cards from ancient Egyptian artwork, including papyrus, pottery, and from the walls of tombs. The background of each card contains a snippet of texts that the author personally gathered from the Pyramid of Teti in Saqqara. Each card includes historical details, meanings, and ritual uses.
This oracle set is ideal for art lovers, those fascinated with ancient Egypt, tarot historians, and collectors alike.
