The Egyptian Star Oracle is a deck of oracle cards created by Travis McHenry. The deck is notable for utilizing astrology as it was practiced in 2000 BC by the Egyptian star priests.
Development
The author spent more than a year researching scientific papers written about the Egyptian decans, with a focus on coffins from the Asyut region of Egypt.
In April 2021, he traveled to Egypt where he spent two weeks exploring tombs and temples across the entire country. Information gathered during his research and field expedition were used as a basis for creating the oracle deck.
Content
The images on the cards come from Egyptian tomb art, papyrus, and pieces of pottery (ostracon). The background of each card contains a piece of spells from the Pyramid Texts as found inside the Pyramid of Teti in the Saqqara Necropolis.
The basis of the deck is the system of Egyptian decans, which dates to 2100 BC.
