The Egyptian Book of the Dead is an ancient collection of spells, prayers and incantations designed to guide the departed through the perils of the underworld, ultimately ensuring eternal life. Written as part of funeral rites, these scrolls were often left in the sarcophagus of the deceased and now offer fascinating insight into Egyptian culture. With 50 cards representing gods, goddesses, funerary elements and aspects of ancient Egyptian mythology, The Egyptian Book of the Dead Oracle takes the principles of card divination and creates a new, beautifully illustrated deck. Explore the tombs of the pharaohs and the concepts of heaven and hell, as seen by the ancient Egyptians. With new spreads created just for this deck, the reader will discover how to apply the ideas from ancient Egypt to divination and guidance for their daily lives.
