Hi all, I have recently stumbled across a mention of this deck online, but cannot find any information about it on tarotpassages or tarotgarden (where I usually find out about decks). I have never come across it before, and all I know is that it is second hand, and apparantly published by Llewellyn in 1989. Does anybody have any information about this? Even better, any images of this deck? Kiama

I hadn't heard of it until it was listed in your 'come on...what decks do you have..' thread as being in the collection of one of our newer members - Asher.

I punched "Ishbel's Temple of Isis tarot" into google & a number of addresses came up, including a mention at Tarot Passages site, but the links there were broken. I did find some images at this one: http://www.meta-religion.com/Esoterism/Tarot/a_history_of_egyptian_tarot_deck.htm Try google, I didn't search really heavy, you can probably get another 8 or 9 images off the other listings that come up.

Kiama, I have this one. It was included in an ebay auction I won a while back. I haven't tried to read with it. The majors are various God's and Goddesses, the pips are not individually illustrated. The four suits are Crooks, Flails, Sebas, and Lotus. If I can get the scanner to cooperate I will try to send you scan's of the deck. I never seem to be able to post attachments, so perhaps you can put them up once you receive them. LadyMedusa

I'm sending an inquiry to see if they still have this and if it's a tarot deck or book. I don't want it, but you're welcome to check with the bookseller: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0875423337/ref=nosim/aeclectic/ cypriani@mchsi.com The metaphysical link is the same as the one listed by someone else, where one card of the Ishbel Temple of Isis is posted. Tarotpassages.com posts one card as well, even though the links to major and minor archana are broken. //www.spiritone.com/~filipas/Masquerade/Reviews/historye.html

Thanks for all your help! Looking at the cards I saw, I don't think I'll be getting this deck in the near future... It's not really my 'thing'. Thanks anyway, Kiama

I found this site with information and a picture of one of the cards for Kiama: http://www.tarotpassages.com/ishbel.htm
