Description:
Although not an Egyptian themed deck, the imagery often draws on Egyptian material. The Majors were created as acrylic paintings. The suit of Wands used a combination of coloured pencil and acrylic. The suit of Swords used a dry-point etching technique, where a metal stylus inscribed a line image onto a plexiglas or metal plate which was inked and run through a press, and the resulting prints were hand coloured using acrylic. The Cups were done in watercolour, water-based ink and acrylic. The Disks were created using oils and acrylic. All the cards follow the colour scales developed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
