What is this deck? Thanks!

Yellow

This - http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/egyptian/ ? I have that, and unless Adam has a special version, there's nothing pink about it.

Rodney

Do you mean the Rucki one ? I've never seen it.

No, neither of the two. There is a pink version of the St Germain, and believe me, that one is very pink! If you go to his website at the link below and search for St Germain you will see it:

That goes to a page of holiday snaps....

Holy bleep though - that one Adam posted is - very pink indeed ! And is the same one Aeric linked.

I cannot get the pic to load, nor can I delete the message. So, I will simply describe the deck. It is an Egyptian based deck. The cards measure approximately 2 1/4" x 3 3/16". The backs are opink and black. There are 2 large Eyes of Horus centered, then they are surrounded by pink hieroglyphics with a stylized pink ankh at each end. The fronts feature a papyrus appearing border with multi-colored figures depicted in numerous positions. The titles are in Spanish. Above each figure within a rounded-edge rectangle are various figures such as sun, sarcophagus, bird, bast,, etc. Any ideas?

Is it really 2 1/4" x 3 3/16"? There are not so many pocket-sized Tarot decks out there, and the only similar-sized Egyptian deck I know of is the Egyptian Tarot Mini by Alasia. Are you sure this is not a special playing card deck or Lenormand or Kipper or oracle (oracles tend to be bigger than normal Tarot decks though)?

I think the OP has been here long enough to know what a tarot deck is - and that one from Colombia does look exactly like what is described.

Oh. Since OP only had 4 posts, I thought she was a newbie, but seeing her profile, she has close to a thousand decks (whoa). I guess she really must know her Tarot then.

But are you referring to the St Germain that Yellow suggested? OP was very precise in her description of the deck she was looking for, and she said that the back of the card has two large Eyes of Horus in pink and black. I only found one source of the Spanish Tarot Egipcio - Saint Germain that shows the card back, and in it the back only has a repeated pink square pattern, and no twin Eyes of Horus:

If I am going to follow the description of the card back here:

The backs are opink and black. There are 2 large Eyes of Horus centered, then they are surrounded by pink hieroglyphics with a stylized pink ankh at each end.

I have found a possible candidate online. The Cartas de Tarot Egipcio by Alejandra Coirini does have two large Eyes of Horus in pink, as can be seen here:

But I still do not think this deck follows all her requirements.

Could it be some version of the Egipcios Kier deck?

To be honest, this deck has so many versions in many different languages that I think OP may have chanced on a rare iteration of this. Here is one Spanish version with a pink and blue gingham back:

And in another Spanish version, as can be seen in this video, it has a diagonal plaid back:

The English version has gold lines on white:

The bronze, black, and white Portuguese version (care of Le Fanu's blog) has a subtle non-reversible back:

No I meant the one that Aeric linked and which is on Adam's site. Its from Colombia, as I recall.
