I have the Swiss 1JJ deck. The 22 Pittori deck looks nice. I'm not really interested in the other ones though.

I checked your listings And yes, they are pretty. The chaos (to me) of 56 arcana without suits may be interesting and revealing to you. Does it have a book or booklet to assist with explanation or do you just want to work with the pictures? I'm curious how these will work for you--maybe my husband, whose learning Spanish, might enjoy similar decks (although he's not attracted to Egyptian art--I'll check other themes). I continue to be fascinated by the Apologia de Libro de Thoth, the 22-out of print majors with gorgeous paintings in the style of deep pigments on parchment. I think that influenced my enjoyment of the newer Lo Scarabeo deck similar to the IBIS, the one by Sylva Alasia where it's 'tempura on papyrus' style with dark backs and a forthcoming book with Paul Christian-based descriptions. I've found Egyptian themes, along with a newer Italian gypsy theme, to be warm and appealing to me this month. Your search had me put away several other decks that I keep out for study and pull again an Egyptian style tarot that I keep for creative inspiration by Laura Tuan and published by Di Vecchi. I don't mind the "Ettiella" numbering scheme that I see in the decks that you chose, but I do want my suit symbols and court cards. I'll even allow for a slight variation in the trumps, but I do want to recognize my images. I'm interested in what you end up with and what you will be doing with this deck. Mari H. P.S. You can edit your previous posts and delete the faulty link. I notice people are replying to your first thread, so you might want to just reply there. It's kind of hard to follow two threads, so I posted to both: you can email a moderator and ask them to delete one of the threads.

I don´t know yet if the deck is accompanied with a specific booklet, I suppose yes but i´m not sure. I will try to get that information. If I get it I will write you a posting I have found a page where this Tarot appears(only the 22 Major Arcana)and if you place your cursor on the cards images, the specific meaning(in Spanish) for these Arcana will appear: http://www.inicia.es/de/mukunda/tarot_egipt.htm I am still doubting about buying a few tarots(at least 5!!!)I like very much these egyptian, but I think I will wait a little more to buy the egyptian ones. Perhaps I will buy the Golden Dawn Tarot first. My problem is I like almost all tarots!! hehe I will write a post to the moderator. Best regards!!
