Brotherhood of Light
Quite frankly, this deck is over my head. I admit I'm not very literate in Egyptian symbolism, and this is an Egyptian deck. My deck didn't come with a little white booklet, so I get no help. The box does say a detailed interpretation of symbols can be found in the book The Sacred Tarot by C.C. Zain; however, I don't have the book. =(
The cards are standard playing size and are easy to handle. I would prefer them to be a little stiffer, but I wouldn't call them flimsy. The only ink on the deck is gray, and not a very dark gray. Against the white background, I find them too light.
The majors and court cards are illustrated, but the pips are not. There are 3 symbols at the top of each card and 2 or 3 symbols at the bottom, some of which I recognize. The top symbols are Aramaic number, Roman numeral and astrological sign. The bottom symbols vary. The court cards' bottom symbols are the suit and it's playing card corresondence, so that the king of discs has a disc and a diamond. I'm confused as to the bottom symbols on the majors, although I think one of them is Hebrew letters. The fool is numbered XXII.
If you get this deck, I recommend the book (which I don't have). I am just fumbling around in the dark on this one.
