The Ancient Egyptian Tarot Clive Barrett 1994 Boxed Book & Cards Deck BRAND NEW

Description: This is a vintage 1995 tarot set that has never been opened. I've had it since 1995 and it is time to let it go to a collector or one who wants to read with it. The box has a slight bend that you can see in a close up photo but otherwise in excellent condition and still sealed in its original plastic sheeting. The plastic has probably started to shrink/tighten over the years. From the cover: "It is traditionally accepted that the Tarot originated in Egypt. Certainly, Egyptian symbolism has inspired Tarot designers for hundreds of years, and today decks use 'conventional' Tarot imagery whose roots are undeniably Egyptian yet whose meanings have become diluted with the passage of time. In this beautiful re-working of the Tarot, author and artist Clive Barrett has come full circle, returning the Tarot to the land of its ancestors. Taking over five years to research and paint, he has painstakingly pieced together Egyptian life and mythology, basing his designs on archaeological knowledge and historical fact. The accompanying book gives one of the fullest yet most concise histories of the Tarot ever written, instructions on how to use the deck, and full background information about the characters and scenes depicted on each of the 78 cards. Following the arrangement of 'traditional' Tarots, making it compatible with most standard decks and instruction books, this is an ideal pack for anybody who wants to learn about Tarot for the first time. The blending of traditional Tarot lore with the very culture which inspired it also makes The Ancient Egyptian Tarot a treat for Tarot enthusiasts and a classic of its time."
