		Despite Etteilla's fantasies, his fundamental thinking is still coherent: if the Tarot is the Book of Thoth, and Thoth is Hermes Trismegistus ('Mercure Trismegiste', as he calls him), and the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus are preserved in the Pimander, then we should find learned Hermetism in the cards.
		Etteilla also noted the Hermetist's reliance on the four classical elements: this is why he assigned four trumps to the elements.
		Etteilla liked Hermeticism and Rosicruciana of his time and sought to express within this writ concordant and innovative ideas which might be taken up as part of an emergent ancient recovery of an occult device.

	Tarot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Etteilla designed the first esoteric Tarot deck, adding astrological attributions to various cards, altering many of them from the Marseille designs, and adding divinatory meanings in text on the cards.
		Etteilla's best known successor was Marie-Anne Le Normand, whose cartomancy became fashionable during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, due largely to the influence Le Normand wielded with Joséphine de Beauharnais, Napoleon's first wife.
		Levi, not Etteilla, is considered by some to be the true founder of most contemporary schools of Tarot reading; his 1854 Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (English title: Transcendental Magic) introduced a new system for interpreting the cards.

		Etteilla, an established fortune teller, was one of the first to popularize the use of Tarot for divination and the practice of interpreting reversed cards.
		All of the cards are renumbered using Etteilla's "rectified" system, so that even the traditional Major Arcana sport different numbers.
		Reflecting Etteilla's proclivity for Egyptian culture and the pre-Revolutionary period in France, the art is a striking blend of Classical and Egyptian elements.

		He changed his name to Etteilla (which is Alliette spelled backwards), wrote a book containing not just his version of Court de Gebelin's theory but numerous imaginative additions, and reconstructed the traditional tarot deck to suit his new system.
		Etteilla was one of the first to emphasize use of the tarot for divination and so is one of the "fathers" of fortunetelling.
		His reconstructed tarot deck, then, is historically significant, because this is one of the first attempts to change the tarot from the classic Marseille style which was so consistently the norm everywhere that the cards were used.

	Etteilla - Tarotpedia
		Etteilla was an Enlightenment-era French esotericist, who could be considered the grandfather of the occult Tarot and the first professional Tarotist in recorded history.
		It is possible that without Etteilla's work, the occult theories of Court de Gébelin would have been doomed to obscurity, and Tarot would have remained a quaint parlor game in the popular consciousness.
		Etteilla was born in Paris in 1738, very little is known about him or his youth.

		The changes Etteilla made in order to "correct" the deck make it so different that it is really stretching to call this a tarot deck at all.

	EtteillaThoth-LB
		Etteilla, while adhering to a standard 78-card format (22 Majors, 56 Minors), radically changed several of the Major titles and images to suit his own system.
		The Etteilla decks also suffer in comparison to the Golden Dawn decks (including the Waite and Crowley decks), in that Etteilla used a rather haphazard system of astrological correspondences which doesn’t seem terribly well thought out compared to the Golden Dawn’s remarkably thorough and complex series of astrological and Qabalistic correspondences.
		Historians categorize the Etteilla decks as follows: Etteilla I decks include the original deck from 1788 and a reprint by one of Etteilla’s students in 1804.

		It seems that Etteilla was attempting to realign the images of the Major Arcana with a Greek creation story, a later, Alexandrian modification of the ancient Hebrew mythos of middle-eastern origin.
		It is important to note that in the Arcana which Etteilla chose to rework to his own liking, he shows a high degree of literacy in the canon of magical art and the original Tarots.
		Interestingly enough, both Etteilla and Levi were educated occultists who would most likely have been exposed to whatever versions of esoteric correspondences were being taught and used in the widespread Secret Society groups of their respective times.

	Biography of Etteilla / Great Tarotists of the Past
		Through his activities and writings, he was the first to popularize divination by Tarot on a large scale, to publish correspondences between Tarot, astrology, and the Four Elements, and to issue a deck specifically designed for occult purposes.
		In that year he published his first book, Etteilla, ou manière de se récréer avec un jeu de cartes [Etteilla, Or a Way to Entertain Yourself With a Deck of Cards], which was devoted to explaining the use of regular playing cards for divination.
		During this period Etteilla also earned a living as a dealer in antique prints in Paris and, for a short time, Strasbourg.

		Etteilla, indeed, gives in one of his tracts on the Tarot a representation of the mystical arrangement of these cards in the Temple of Ptah at Memphis, and he further says:
		The great exponents of the Tarot, Court de Gèbelin, Levi, and Etteilla, have always assigned to the Tarot a Qabalistico- Egyptian origin, and this I have found confirmed in my own researches into this subject, which have extended over several years.
		There are Italian, Spanish, and German Tarot packs, and since the time of Etteilla French also, but these latter are not so well adapted for occult study owing to Etteilla’s attempted “corrections” of the symbolism.

	Etteilla at AllExperts
		"Etteilla," the pseudonym of Jean-Baptiste Alliette (1738-1791), was the French occultist, who was the first to popularize divination by Tarot to a wide audience, and therefore the first professional Taroist in recorded history.
		He was married for half a decade, during which he worked as a seed merchant, before publishing his first book, Etteilla, ou maniÃ¨re de se rÃ©crÃ©er avec un jeu de cartes ("Etteilla, or a Way to Entertain Yourself With a Deck of Cards") in 1770.
		This first book was a discourse on the usage of regular playing cards (the piquet deck, a shortened deck used predominantly, with the addition of an "Ettelia" card).

		The heart of the book is his discussion of individual cards, showing possible origins for the images and their divinatory meanings.
		Etteilla invented modern cartomancy using spreads; and his card meanings are the underpinning of the Rider-Waite-Smith system, which has so heavily influenced contemporary Anglo-American tarot.
