This work investigates the intersection of traditional tarot symbolism with the iconography and mythology of Ancient Egypt to provide a cohesive system for divination. Clive Barrett, an artist and researcher of esoteric traditions, utilizes his own illustrative work to bridge the gap between the Rider-Waite-Smith framework and the aesthetic of the Nile Valley. The book argues that the archetypal figures of the tarot find a resonant, historical parallel in the deities and cultural symbols of the Egyptian civilization.

The text serves as a specialized guide for practitioners seeking to integrate Egyptian mythology into their tarot practice. Its focus on visual symbolism and thematic alignment makes it a distinct resource for those interested in the synthesis of occult systems and historical iconography.
