Ibis Tarot

The Ibis Tarot is based on a redesign of the tarot teachings in Practical Astrology, a book by Edgar de Valcourt-Vermont published in 1901 (alias Comte C. de Saint-Germain). The artist Josef Machynka researched Egyptian history and tarot-related topics to give this deck a more suitable and accessible design. Machynka was born in 1957 in Austria. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and has been interested in esoteric subjects from an early age. The Ibis Tarot keeps the basic structure of most tarot decks, but the names and symbology reflect the culture of ancient Egypt. For example, card 3 is Isis-Urania rather than the more typical Empress. The Fool has been replaced by card number 22 - the Crocodile. The court cards are the Master, Mistress, Warrior and Slave. Each minor arcana card has its own number given in roman numerals.
