Original Etteilla Tarot - Le Jeu de Toth

The Original Etteilla Tarot - Le Jeu de Toth is a Divination Tarot deck created by the occultist Etteilla (Jean-Baptiste Alliette), the first professional tarot reader, in France around 1791. The deck's illustrations were created by the famous engraver Pierre-François Basan. This deck is historically important as it is the first to use “Madness” and the number 0 for the Fool Arcana card. It is also the first divination tarot deck to use astrological correspondences on the Major Arcana cards. Etteilla named this deck 'Le jeu de Thoth' and traced its origin to ancient Egypt and the temple of Memphis.
