Egyptian Tarot mini

Egyptian Tarot Mini – Mysticism and symbolism from ancient Egypt in pocket size

About this deck

The Egyptian Tarot Mini, designed by Pietro Alligo and illustrated by Silvana Alasia, is a compact tarot deck that brings to life the mysterious atmosphere and symbolism of ancient Egypt. Based on the esoteric ideas of Jean-Baptiste Pitois – who linked the tarot to the mythical Book of Thoth – this mini deck is a spiritual and historical journey in handheld format.

Background and imagery

The cards are inspired by Egyptian art and are designed in a tempera-on-papyrus style, making it seem like you are holding a piece of an ancient manuscript in your hands. The symbolism is rich and authentic, with pharaohs, hieroglyphs, gods and mystical signs. Each image tells a story closely linked to the classical tarot structure, but through the lens of Egyptian mythology and esotericism.

how the deck comes to life in readings

This deck is ideal for tarot readers who are drawn to ancient mysticism, culture and Egyptian tradition. Thanks to its small size, it is perfect for traveling or for daily use on the go. Although the symbolism can be complex, the cards invite meditation and deepening. For those already familiar with the tarot, the deck offers a new, layered interpretation of the archetypal cards.

Is this deck welcoming to those just starting out?

Beginners can work with this deck, especially if they are interested in Egyptian symbolism. However, the depth and different visual language compared to the Rider-Waite-Smith system can mean a small learning curve. For advanced readers, the deck offers a fascinating alternative full of historical significance.

The cards are printed on high-quality black core cardboard, making them long lasting and pleasant to the touch. They have a mini size of 44 x 80 mm and are supplied in a sturdy box. The total weight of the set is approximately 181 grams. The small size makes the deck easy to carry and suitable for use at any time of the day.
