Egyptian Cartouche Courses

Egyptian Cartouche

You will receive 25 initiations into the Egyptian symbols that bring about a state of heightened awareness and clarity.
Murry Hope, author of 'The Way of Cartouche' and a practitioner of Egyptian magic, invented the cartouche system in 1983.

There are 25 cards, numbered sequentially from 1 through 25, but we don't initiate with card 10, which is Set.  Set represents opposition, delay and problems, which is why the card is omitted in the initiation process. 

There are no pre-requisites to receiving the initiations – you can be a complete beginner, a reiki healer, a reiki master or other. If you are a Tera- Mai™ Reiki Seichem Master you will receive Egyptian Cartouche Master Level and can go on to initiate and teach the attunements to others.

Each Egyptian Cartouche card has either a fixed or a mutable quality corresponding with universal astrology.


  1. Osiris - the good father, teacher, consoler, the warrior who protects 
  2. Isis - the nurturing mother, earth magic, earth power, earth divination

  4. Bast - psychic abilities and psychic protection
  5. Thoth - lord or karma, lord of time, healer and magician

 Course agenda

  • brief history of the Egyptian Cartouche
  • description and interpretation of each Cartouche Card
  • meditation under a crystal and magnetic pyramid that has an energising, healing and cleansing effect on the aura

The first initiation given in the Egyptian Cartouche is YOD (not represented by a card). This is a personal initiation to awaken qualities in the human soul and helps to reconnect the "Rainbow Bridge"; that is to re-establish the connection between the heart, third eye, soul star and Soul.
