Tarot of Saqqara
Product ID: 184742310
82- card tarot deck derived from the original fine art paintings of Donald G. Beaman. After a 1981 visit to the first pyramid of Egypt, in Saqqara, and using his skills as a professor of theatrical design at Boston University and his study of sacred geometry, Mr. Beaman began to create images of the early systems of spiritual divination and transformation. These spectacular paintings are composed on 36” x 52” wooden art board using acrylic, silver and gold leaf paints. The final work is an elaborate collection of images derived from the architecture and knowledge of the earliest societies. They comprise not only an Egyptian influence but also that of the Kabbalah, Roman, and Celtic traditions. Review: Must Buy. Period. - I’m an Egyptian tarot reader of 10+ years of experience. I searched high and low for an Egyptian themed tarot deck because I think it’s a shame that tarot originated in Egypt (that’s my firm belief) and there is no tarot deck that is true to the achieve Egyptian aesthetic. This all changed when I held the Tarot of Saqqara in my hands. This is the closest we can get to how the very first Tarot deck in human history might have looked like. The artistry is astonishingly pleasing and the mystery embedded in those cards sets your intuition free to be the channel you need to be. The effort and research and information that went into the making of these cards are just awe inspiring! I highly recommend these cards. Buy the books too! Super useful to fully understanding the mysterious magickal details in the cards. The customer service doesn’t feel like customer service. It feels like a warm family that takes you in and helps you reach your goals with love and support. Big shout out to the Tarot of Saqqara team! Review: Exquisite: Full of Mystery - I have just received this deck today and it is simply stunning. As the work of a mature artist and seeker, the Tarot of Saqqara is awe inspiring in beauty and complexity. While the LWB is brief, the cards a rich in esoteric symbolism from multiple ancient cultures with an emphasis on the Egyptian Pantheon and alphabets. Runes, Greek, Hebrew and hieroglyphs adorn the impeccably designed cards which are full of information, yet uncluttered. The names of the Thoth and GD attributions are included as well as 4 carefully symbolized additional cards. Personal insights clearly inform the attributions of letters. The Atus or majors are represented as niches in a temple, filled with radiant light and superior realism crating the effect of a true temple of initiation. Sacred numerology and geometry reminiscent of Tarot Maconnique make the small cards equally rich. The court cards are organized in the Thoth manner and are exquisite. Details such a accurate attribution of small cards to the astrological decans and interpretation that reflects both significant knowledge and experience set this tarot apart from most. I cannot recommend this tarot highly enough to those with particular interest in esoteric tarots and collectors. It is remarkable that such a superior tarot is so affordable and unique. The stock is light and flexible with a glossy sheen, while the backs have a reversible pattern that speaks to Prof. Beamon's understanding of sacred geometry.

Tarot of Saqqara
The Tarot of Saqqara deck is a visually stunning deck with highly symbolic touch. If you enjoy Egyptian art and understand the basics of Sacred Geometry this deck is for you. Donald Beaman's artwork is the heart of this deck. His paintings hold much information in which to read in your sessions. He has fused other symbolic imagery into his paintings influenced by the Roman, Kabbalah, and Celtic traditions. I was also very pleased with the runic imagery. This was a plus for me! The booklet is informative and if I needed more detailed information that the book didn't dive into, I searched on the internet. This a must own Tarot deck and would highly recommend this to any beginner to experienced reader. Buy now!

High quality Egyptian tarot cards.
Extremely satisfied with this deck. Very premium cards. Not to busy with hidden meanings but far from simple card designs. Astoundingly accurate readings from a truly Egyptian feeling deck of tarot. A must buy for serious tarot divination.
