This new edition of the Kemetic Tarot features the rich, vibrant art of the previous edition, in a larger format (about 20% larger) that showcases more detail than ever. In the Veil of Aset Edition of the Kemetic Tarot, the full-color guidebook has been expanded to include dozens of tales of the Neteru (the Kemetic Gods), and a brand new book, "The Veil of Aset: Tales of the Goddess" includes several tales of the Goddess Aset.
