Product Description

Book Description

Nefertari, the bride of Ramses II, assisted her husband in the temporal ruling of Egypt. During her incredible life, she witnessed the great expansion of her country and enjoyed the worship of her devoted husband. Upon her death, Ramses built Nefertari a stunning sepulcher that remains almost intact to the present day. This deck recreates the atmosphere and symbology so loved by Nefertari-who is considered the Light of Egypt and a symbol of the most beautiful aspects of this elegant and sophisticated civilization. The typical two-dimensional Egyptian artwork is given incredible life and luminosity by the rich, patterned gold foil background. Drawing upon the fascination and mystery of Egyptian culture, Alasia has created a beautiful deck that is also practical for divinatory purposes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Gold..., Aug 13 2002
By "sobekqebet" (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This deck was given to me as gift...
The cards are exquistely beautiful with their metallic glow and shiney gold...........

The deck is quite sturdy, it can withstand a good shuffling, but i can't bare to shuffle it as i would a "normal deck"....

It's just too beautiful to be used like that..........

This is a great deck to have in your Tarot collection if you are a collector, or a fan of Ancient Egypt.......

The booklette that came with it is not of much help, but then again, "*most* of the little booklette's aren't. Very few are.....

If someone would not have purchased this deck for me, i would have definately bought it on my own!

4.0 out of 5 stars Seeing is believing!, May 15 2002
By Alex B (Strawberry Hills, New South Wales Australia) - See all my reviews
This deck definetly has that "wow" factor. The gold embossing as a background colour to all of the cards throughout this deck certainly makes it a deck to behold. There is gold everywhere. Even the box is gold...and I mean GOLD.

To be honest if this deck did not have the gold it would be nothing special.

The LWB that comes with it offers no insightful information that an experienced reader may already have. Sure it follows in the RW tradition, but if you do not know anything about Egyptology than I would recommend finding a book that offers information on Eygptian symbols as the LWB offers no guidance in this respect.

It truly is a beautiful set of cards. In comparison to other "gold" decks I have to say that the Nefertari's Tarot wins hands down in appearance. The gold foil background makes the images seem to jump out at the reader in almost 3 dimensional form. The artwork itself is rendered so that it appears slightly worn in places, I suppose to provide authenticity to the Eygptian artwork. The cards themselves are on flexible stock and are slightly longer than most decks, but not so much as to make shuffling difficult.

Of all the Eygptian decks on the market to date I have to recommend this one. If you have been a little shy in using an Egyptian deck, but would like to add one to your collection, this is the one to have. If you would like to have that "special" deck, then go for Nefertari's Tarot.

To be honest I usually prefer more abstract decks, but this deck is definetly one I am happy to own.
