*The Celtic people lived on the edges of the ancient world and had a deep respect for their gods and nature. Every element of their lives was imbued with a sense of the sacred and they attached symbols to every feature in their world. This beautiful pack provides an introduction to Celtic symbols and how to use them to guide you through your life, just as the Celts were guided by their deities, animals, and talismans. *52 exquisitely illustrated cards and a 64 page colour book for affirmation, divination, and stimulating your intuition. *Full interpretations for every card, plus ten card layouts to help you see into the past, present, and future.

The presumptions and approach in this deck are more biased toward the philosophy of Silver Ravenwolf than the ancient Celts (the concept of Brigid being the Great Mother is a case in point) with a dose of pseudo-shamanism. Further, I personally feel any divination system that refuses to allow for “negative cards” is missing half the story. Every layout involves a counter-clockwise pattern in whole or part…
