The Kemetic Tarot
For hundreds of years, tarot card designers have claimed their tarot decks are based on ancient Egyptian magic. The Kemetic Tarot is based on the most powerful Egyptian magic discovered: The Book of Coming Forth by Day, a book of spells and ritual magic designed to allow a soul to invoke the gods and subdue evil adversaries as it travels from the mundane world to the spiritual world of the Duat (the afterlife), and finally on to eternal life in Aaru (the Egyptian Paradise).
The rich, vibrant art of The Kemetic Tarot cards infuses the traditional tarot archetypes with the ancient Egyptian magic. The Kemetic Tarot tells the story of the Fool, the scribe Ani, on his journey through the material world and the supernatural world of the afterlife, on his quest for eternal life.
The Major Arcana cards (the Neteru cards) embody the powerful forces represented by the Kemetic deities and supernatural entities, such as the great goddesses Aset (Isis) and Nebet-Het (Nephthys), and the gods Ausar (Osiris), Set, and Khonsu, among others.
The Minor Arcana (the Remet cards) focus on Kemetic suits of ankhs, scarabs, scepters, and swords, which map directly to the traditional suits of other tarot decks. The Minor Arcana cards are based largely on historical figures including the pharaohs, scribes, and warriors of ancient Egypt.
All the cards are framed with hieroglyphic text from The Book of Coming Forth by Day, and the cards, are color-coded by suit for ease of identification. The 164-page guide to The Kemetic Tarot explains Ani's journey through the afterlife, including detailed descriptions of each card and the magic embodied in the detailed, dynamic imagery of The Kemetic Tarot cards.
