The '''[[Tarot de la Reyne]]''' is a [[Tarot]] deck published in 1911 by French [[occultist]] Madame de Maguelone. An extremely unusual and rare deck, it purports to utilize the writings and predictions of [[Nostradamus]], however, the cards are mostly based on the life of Catherine de Medici, the Queen of France in 1556. The deck is believed to have been published in 1911 by Eugène Figuière & Cie of Paris, although there is some evidence it may have been printed as early as August 1909. It was featured in the February 10th, 1911 issue of the bi-weekly [[occult]] magazine ''La Vie Mysterieuse'', although the article was merely a reprinting of a few pages from the guidebook.
'''[[Qebehsenuef]]''' is one of the four sons of [[Horus]], along with [[Hapy]], [[Duamutef]], and [[Imsety]]. Qebehsenuef is usually portrayed with the head of a falcon. In a funerary context, he was responsible for protecting the intestines of mummified people. As ruler of one of the four cardinal directions, Qebehsenuef was associated with the west. Although Qebehsenuef is most prominently found in funerary context as a canopic jar, he is possibly more closely associated with the [[Egyptian decans]]. Dutch Egyptologist Maarten Raven argues that the four sons originated as celestial deities, given that the [[Pyramid Texts]] frequently connect them with the sky and that [[Horus]] himself was a sky deity.


In February 2023, the deck was revised and transformed into the [[True Oracle of Nostradamus]] by [[occultist]] [[Travis McHenry]].

Qebehsenuef is one of the four sons of Horus, along with Hapy, Duamutef, and Imsety. Qebehsenuef is usually portrayed with the head of a falcon. In a funerary context, he was responsible for protecting the intestines of mummified people. As ruler of one of the four cardinal directions, Qebehsenuef was associated with the west. Although Qebehsenuef is most prominently found in funerary context as a canopic jar, he is possibly more closely associated with the Egyptian decans. Dutch Egyptologist Maarten Raven argues that the four sons originated as celestial deities, given that the Pyramid Texts frequently connect them with the sky and that Horus himself was a sky deity.
