About This Deck
The Egyptian Star Oracle is a divination deck created by Travis McHenry, known for his work with occult magic traditions. This deck delves into the ancient Egyptian decans, which are 36 groups of stars used in ancient Egyptian astronomy and astrology, and their purported connection to the origins of the Minor Arcana in tarot. The campaign emphasizes a historical and magical approach, positioning the deck as a tool for deep meaning drawn from these ancient traditions.
The deck is designed to offer insights rooted in a system described as "5,000 years in the making," suggesting a profound historical and spiritual lineage. While it is an oracle deck, its explicit link to the Minor Arcana of the Tarot indicates it may offer a unique bridge for tarot readers interested in the historical underpinnings of their practice. The creator's background in occult magic traditions further suggests a deck intended for serious practitioners and those interested in esoteric knowledge.
Beyond the deck itself, the Kickstarter campaign offered various supplementary materials, including a "Cult of the Stars" softcover book, an "Egyptian Star Oracle Deck Coffin Box," and an "Tombs & Temples of Egypt Art Book." These additional items highlight the rich thematic depth and the creator's commitment to providing a comprehensive experience for those exploring ancient Egyptian cosmology and its magical applications.
