From the Publisher Anubis Oracle Cards 0 • The Dove THE DOVE REPRESENTS the seeker as the archetypal principle of the Innocent Initiate who responds to the call to enter the mysteries, or to request information or advice from the oracle. The Dove is brave and courageous in the search for wisdom and truth and learns to trust his or her own inner knowing when engaging not only with the oracle but also with the powerful transformational forces encountered on this path. 1 • Nekhbet-Mother-Mut NEKHBET-MOTHER-MUT IS THE most revered and ancient grand dame of Egypt. She is the wise old crone and honored elder of the pantheon of neteru and comes to us in this work as a blend of the two vulture goddesses, Mut and Nekhbet. As with all neteru, she must be approached with respect if you wish to gain permission to enter into these sacred mysteries. 2 • Nephthys NEPHTHYS IS THE hidden or veiled one who serves as a medium between worlds. She comes to us in dreams, flashes of intuition, and visions. Along with Isis and Nekhbet-Mother-Mut, Nephthys is an aspect of the Triple Goddess. She relies upon spirit to direct her in all things and she holds the mystery teachings of life, death, and rebirth deep within her essence. Review: Great Quality and Depth for the Price - This deck is well made and very intuitive, especially for being a shorter deck. The book inside is like a proper book, made at the same quality of Nicki Scully’s other books. The deck itself isn’t the highest of quality, however — for the pricing, I am satisfied with the thinner card stock. The imagery on the cards is beautiful and leaves room for interpretation, while the guidebook provides extra guidance and more context on the beings presented throughout the deck. It follows very similarly to the major arcana in tarot while taking some creative discrepancies, like creating a key card (Anubis), that opens the way for the journey through the deck. I will say that if you are a beginner in divination, this deck probably isn’t for you. On the flip side of that, this deck is great for someone just becoming aware of the Egyptian Pantheon and the Neteru. It gives you insights into the basics, allowing you to connect with each Neteru even if you don’t have any previous divination experience in working with them. The reason I say this isn’t for beginners is because the deck itself requires a sense of respect and reverence. When asking it generalized questions, it will give you answers (sometimes the same answers), but they will be short and to the point. The energy I got from the deck is that it wants you to integrate the energy before attempting to get more answers. It’s very much a reflective and slower moving deck in the sense that it may not even reveal anything straight away. It may take a few days before the insights actually land. As always, I feel that Nicki Scully takes her work with the Egyptian Pantheon and makes it digestible, forthcoming and easily experienced through the book and deck. I highly recommend reading the book itself as a book because it gives great context to how to work with the cards, but also other meditative practices that can be useful when working with the cards. Despite not being the highest quality card stock, I think for the price, the deck itself is very well made. It’s also fairly large in size and thorough in depth despite there only being 35 cards. The keepsake box is also very sturdy and provides a safe space for your cards to land. The energy put into this deck is definitely felt and immense! Review: Compelling & Relevant!!! - I have eagerly awaited this treasure to arrive and am not disappointed. I have been searching for this "Egyptian vibe" since 1986 with Murry Hope's Cartouche cards. Various tarot decks tried to capture the magic, yet fall short. Then came the "holy grail" of Egyptian divination-Athon Veggi's "Book of Doors" in 1996. The artwork and colors were a little disappointing, however. The Anubis Oracle fulfills all hopes. Egyptian Magic is lost in the sands of time. Yet, some writings have been translated and the images endure. Its true, this is reconstruction mysticism with a "new age" slant. It is the Egypt I have always imagined. Indeed, it lasted 5000+ years. Most of these images survived and are just as universal today! This may be the closest thing to the origins of the tarot there is. A historic achievement, indeed. The colors are bright and warm. Children can easily connect with the cards. The archetypes are potent and soothing. Perhaps this deck will open the doorway for a new generation to spend hours in the Egyptian wing at their local museum. Educational and empowering!

Great Way To Learn About Egyptian Deities!
A very inspiring oracle especially if Egypt is close to your heart! Anubis shows you many things about yourself and Nicki and Linda have done a fine job on bringing this shamanic wisdom to life. I love this oracle deck and book because it is positive yet realistic and is not overwhelming for the beginner and is also a treasure for the seasoned seeker! May I also recommend Nicki's "Becoming An Oracle" audio book for an adventure of a lifetime! If living in this current culture has dulled your imagination, both of these works will absolutely spark it up again! Bravo Nicki and Linda! Isis is proud of you both!

Anubis-Opener of the Way
Beautiful cards! I must say that I figured this would be a very intense deck like the Isis Oracle...nope. This deck was a lot gentler. Anubis has always been my favorite deity in Ancient Egypt..and although I've always been intimidated by him a bit, I am so glad I purchased this deck. It is very much like the tarot in that it has Major Arcana cards and Court cards...but there are no suits like wands, swords, cups, etc. There are element cards which I thought was a nice idea..but only one of each element.The energy of this deck is nice....definitely helps you tap into your inner wisdom without scaring you..which I thought would happen. If you're thinking of purchasing this deck, now is the time to do it :)

Fine
I like the text, and the ilustrations are fine , only thing i dont like that much is the quality of the cards, they for sure could be much better . I love the cards of Blue Angel publishing oracles cause are much more resistant, colorful and the bigger size, this are fragile

A very sensitive and responsive deck
I am not hugely into Tarot, but I do honor it as one way to access ancient wisdom and current guidance. I first found out about this deck by using the author's free online version. I din't consult it often, but every time I used that online version, it was dead on--so much so that it was eerie. So I bought the physical deck and book. I find that it is as in tune as the online version, and being able to hold the cards and enjoy the art is an added bonus. This deck seems to be particularly suited for questions regarding your larger spiritual purpose as it applies in a practical way in your life.

Beautiful and Unique Oracle Deck
This deck was even more beautiful than I thought it would be. It has a large sturdy box and a full size 165 page book. The cards are gorgeous, a little thinner card stock than i prefer but no big deal as i am gentle on my cards. This is definitely worth the money! I have weird lighting in my house so there are some glares on my pictures...sorry!
