Step into the origins of modern tarot with this faithful reproduction of Jean‑Baptiste Alliette’s Etteilla deck—the first designed explicitly for divination in late 18th‑century Paris.
Featuring 78 richly illustrated cards with original French titles and their English translations, this deck blends astrology, elemental symbolism, and cartomantic insight. Inspired by the era’s fascination with ancient Egypt, Etteilla framed the tarot as a repository of secret wisdom, linking each card to mystical (and often imaginary) Egyptian correspondences.
Perfect for collectors, historians, or readers seeking a historically grounded alternative to the usual decks, it connects you directly to the moment tarot became a spiritual tool rather than a game.
Trilingual instruction booklet included.
