Egyptian Tarot      1980 Otto Wegener      USA                                                   Art Medium: Pen. Description: This is a reproduction of the Falconnier/Wegener designs of 1890 based on the esoteric writings of Paul Christian. In 1936 the deck was redrawn by Gloria Beresford with no significant changes to the design, then redrawn once again in 1994 and issued as 'The Sacred Tarot'. In 1930 John Dequer used the Falconnier-Wegener deck to illustrate his book 'Arrows of Light from the Egyptian Tarot'. In 1951 Dequer's student George Fathman used the deck to illustrate his book 'The Royal Road'. In 1967 Doris Doane, a graduate of Zain's esoteric school, used the same deck to illustrate her book 'How to Read Tarot Cards'. In 1973, Lynn Buess used a re-drawn Egyptian deck for his book 'The Tarot and Transformation'. Stuart Kaplan discussed in depth the various versions of these designs in the accompanying booklet.
