Egyptium: the forgotten secrets of the ancients in hand-drawn cards.

Egyptian pharaohs – gods among men. Ancient gods – half men and half beasts. Ancient magicks of the sand and the Nile. This is “Egyptium” a new hand-illustrated deck of cards by Oleg Shapkin

Were the ancient rulers merely mortal men? Or were they gods in mortal form? Powerful magicians who ruled the earth and sky, held council with the holy beasts and birds of the land? Meet the artist’s rendition of the great power of magic that ruled the ancient and mysterious land of Egypt

The deck has been on the artist’s table for nearly three years – the time it takes to capture the character images and then bring them to the world as art. Some have come in dreams, others – as accidental encounters in the real world

Funded on Kickstarter in 2020. Available at https://ru.ra-april.com/aprilglobalstore
