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.
