This attractive set of cards and book make an excellent introduction to the world of the Egyptian pantheon. Well researched, written with poetic sensibility and insight, the Book of Doors makes a perfect gift for anyone interested in Egyptian spirituality. There is even an e-mail list dedicated to the study of the individual cards, in themselves a guide to the often confusing Egyptian Cosmology.

An excellent tool and learning vehicle

As an archpriestess of Isis in the Fellowship of Isis, I am always looking for good tools to help introduce people to the Gods of ancient Egypt. The Book of Doors is one such tool.
The Book of Doors gives both a wonderful introduction and a detailed look into the Gods of ancient Egypt, presented as a medium for divination. The authors' heavy emphasis on alchemy as a path for understanding and transformation draws on the long tradition that historically traces that discipline to Egypt. While I do not always agree with their interpretation of the meanings of the Gods, which they sometimes distort to fit their alchemical model, I still find this a useful tool for both divination and for studying the Gods and Goddesses. I recommend it highly as an alternative or backup to your everyday Tarot deck!
I also find the use of a die to select cards to be a wonderful randomizing tool, as opposed to traditional shuffling and other selection methods. They supply an 8-sided die with the deck, along with instructions for using it. Interesting method.
