Buy the Grand Etteilla tarot from our esoteric shop
This set brings together the 78 traditional cards of the Grand Etteilla in a historical version dating from the 19th century and preserved at the National Library of France. Also known as the Egyptian Tarot, this deck derives directly from the system developed by Jean-Baptiste Alliette, known as Etteilla, one of the founding figures of modern cartomancy. At the end of the 18th century, he was among the first authors to develop a tarot specifically designed for divination and to propose a structured method for interpreting the cards.
Etteilla's historical divination tarot
The Grand Etteilla differs markedly from the Tarot de Marseille in its iconography, the arrangement of its cards, and the precision of its divinatory vocabulary. Each card has specific meanings, with different interpretations depending on whether it appears upright or reversed. The deck combines cartomancy, astrology, elemental correspondences, and esoteric symbolism, forming a complete system that had a considerable influence on the development of occult tarot in the 19th century.
A 78-card set with guidebook
This edition offers the opportunity to rediscover the Grand Etteilla through a historical example preserved at the National Library of France. The set includes the deck's 78 cards and a guidebook explaining the meaning of each card along with several card-spread methods. It will appeal both to tarot history enthusiasts and to those wishing to practice divination with one of the most important cartomantic systems in the French tradition.
Colette Silvestre is a French author specializing in divinatory cards, the Marseille Tarot, and oracles. After a career in journalism, she devoted herself to the study of symbolic arts and cartomancy, which she has been teaching for many years in Paris through lectures, training sessions, and practical books. Her works, largely focused on tarot, the Belline Oracle, and drawing methods, have helped make these practices accessible to a wide audience through a clear, educational, and structured approach.

When the cards guide you.
Tarot is not meant to predict a fixed destiny, but to illuminate the path. Each card asks a question as much as it offers an answer. Tarot invites reflection, to face what blocks, what calls, what changes. It does not tell you what to do, but helps you see more clearly. Whether you seek perspective, a reference point, or a form of inner dialogue, tarot remains a simple, ancient tool accessible to all — a sincere mirror, never indulgent, but always there to get you moving again.
— The divinatory tarot in 6 questions .
Here is an overview of the most frequently asked questions. Of course, there are no silly questions, so if the answer is not here: you can contact us.
What is divinatory tarot and where does it come from?
The divinatory tarot is a set of cards used for cartomancy, a form of divination where the cards serve as a tool to understand situations, events, or aspects of life. The modern tarot we know today evolved from an Italian card game called tarocchi in the 15th century. The divinatory tarot as it is practiced today has its roots in the 18th century, when it began to be used for prediction and spiritual exploration, especially thanks to occultists like Antoine Court de Gébelin.
How does a divinatory tarot reading work?
Divinatory tarot is based on the symbolic interpretation of the cards drawn during a session. The querent asks a question or seeks clarity on an aspect of their life, and the tarot reader draws cards in response. Each card has a specific meaning, influenced by its position in the spread and the other cards surrounding it. Tarot readers use their intuition, their knowledge of the cards, and the querent’s situation to interpret the answers provided by the tarot.
What are the differences between the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana in tarot?
Divinatory tarot consists of 78 cards, divided into two main groups: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana includes 22 cards representing universal and profound concepts, such as Death, Judgment, or the World. These cards are generally associated with major life events or significant changes. The Minor Arcana, numbering 56, are divided into four suits (Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles) and deal with more everyday aspects of life like relationships, conflicts, or material matters. You can consult our complete guide to divinatory tarot for more information.
What mistakes should be avoided when consulting the divinatory tarot?
Among common mistakes, one of the most frequent is asking questions that are too vague or, on the contrary, too closed. It is better to avoid questions like "When will I win the lottery?" or "Am I going to die tomorrow?". Divinatory tarot is more useful when it comes to understanding situations or choices rather than predicting specific short-term events. Another mistake is not being open to the cards' answers or consulting the tarot too frequently for the same question, hoping for a different response.
Do you need to be a medium to read the divinatory tarot?
It is not necessary to be a medium to read tarot. Anyone can learn to read the cards through studying the meanings of the symbols and practice. However, some people also use their intuition or psychic abilities to enrich their interpretations. The ability to connect to the energies of the querent or to develop a stronger intuition can improve over time, but it is not essential to start using tarot.
Can divinatory tarot predict the future?
Divinatory tarot is more a tool for reflection and guidance rather than a means to predict the future in a fixed and unchangeable way. The cards offer an insight into present energies and possible directions based on the current actions of the querent. Tarot shows trends and probable paths, but it always respects each person's free will. Thus, future events are not set in stone and can change depending on personal choices.
