-'''''[[Eyes of the Tarot]]''''' is a juvenile fiction novel written by American author Bruce Coville. The book is a mystical adventure made richer by accurate descriptions of [[tarot]] cards as well as techniques for utilizing the cards and Coville's suggested interpretations. In many ways, the heroine's experiences with the figures from the tarot mirror those found in Russian [[occultist]] P.D. Ouspensky's 1913 book ''The Symbolism of the Tarot''.
+The '''[[Oracle of Amun]]''' was a solitary [[oracle]] temple located at the Siwa Oasis in Western Egypt near Libya devoted to the [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian god]] [[Amun-Ra]]. It later became known as the '''Temple of Zeus-Ammon''' during the Greek Period and the '''Temple of Jupiter-Ammon''' during the Roman Period. The temple was built to precisely align with the spring and fall Equinox sunrise when viewed from the Timasirayn Temple, 12 kilometers away across Lake Siwa.
-One notable technique for utilizing the cards involves sleeping with a specific card inside your pillowcase in order to commune with the figure on the card while dreaming. The book's tagline is: “Death is in the cards.”
+When the traveler and historian Strabo visited Egypt in 23 BC, he recorded that the Oracle of Amon had lost almost all importance. Inscriptions which date back as late as Trajan (98-117 AD) can still be found at the temple. This suggests that even though the Siwa had faded in significance, Roman emperors still honored its cultural and historical significance.
