I love dragons so this was like meeting up with a best friend I hadn't seen in ages. When I opened the package, my eyes were filled with soft, yet very evocative images. While I may call them soft, they are definitely not too feminine so men shouldn't be turned off by this deck.

The deck itself felt really good in my hands. You can tell this was a labor of love. The cards were slightly firm, yet easy to shuffle. The lamination is just right. The artwork on the cards is absolutely beautiful but this is so much more than just another one of those 'pretty' decks that are all flash yet have no substance. These cards are filled with haunting stories all their own and you don't necessarily need to read the companion book to get caught up in the tales. Lisa Hunt is a wonderful artist and her knowledge of dragons and tarot really shines through here.

The book is filled with useful information on interpretation and there are some spreads to help you get started. In addition to this, there are even dragon spells, meditations, and a small section on candle colors, their uses, and stone powers is also included. The author, D. J. Conway weaves each of the cards into a very informative, yet not overdone explanation of the symbolism, and then gives a brief, but well thought out divinatory meaning. The only drawback I've found is that the book does not include a reversal section with the divinatory meanings. It's only a minor flaw though.

I have used this deck since it first came out and let me tell you, it's stood the test of time, unlike certain other decks where the lamination begins to peel or wear off almost immediately. I've found the Celtic Dragon Tarot to be an excellent tool for meditation as well as reading. I always have this deck on hand for my fellow dragon fan clients. I highly recommend this deck to anyone from novice to expert and of course, to any dragon fan.

For three years I have tried to get the Tarot to speak to me. After purchasing several decks and reading everything I could on the subject, this Deck was the "one". The artwork is thought-provoking, the accompanying book is excellent! I love this deck! My very first reading with this deck scared me silly! But it was very accurate and for the first time I felt that I was "intune" with the cards. If you are a dragon lover then this is the deck for you! After purchasing and using this deck I've found that some of my other decks are starting to "talk" to me. I would recommend this Deck to anyone that is having trouble getting the cards to "speak" to you.

Like another reviewer here (I think) I fell in love with these cards upon first sight, without even seeing them in person or touching them, something I rarely do with Tarot cards. Usually I handle them and view in person first -but- this time I did not and did not need to. They are beautiful and I was not dissapointed when I opened the box. I am not even really drawn to dragons or anything (although I do love fantasy and sci-fi stuff)but for some reason these just seemed right and I needed a different type of theme deck to break up the monotony of my current decks. The pictures are sort of muted and fuzzy, almost like looking into a dream; they are not as minutely detailed as some other Tarot decks but the meanings and everything still shines through and they are very warm feeling, the dragons are on every card and help convey the meaning and atmosphere of each. There are no borders on the cards, so it just flows over the card to the edges which I like. Overall a very good deck, better than the other dragon deck out there and I like it better than the other "Celtic" decks I've seen, this one is more user-friendly and easier to understand for those of us not familiar with Celtic lore or Celtic decks.

I own 2 Terot decks since I'm not a professional, but this deck connects to me and knew me so well in even my first reading. You don't even need to be a dragon lover to enjoy this deck. I especially love the book-- it has a picture of each card by it's description, a paragraph about the beautiful artwork, and the meaning of the card. As a beginner, this deck is really helpful in understanding the cards. In the back (this is what I love) there are chants and candle spells. There are also ways to call upon your own dragon. It is one of the greatest decks with so much imagination behind it. I doubt I'll be getting many more decks because this deck has such a connection with me... I just couldn't let any other decks take some of it's glory away.

Dragons are back in a fire breathing new tarot. Enter the world of celtic magic and dragons as you learn about the tarot. This book has a full detaled page of every card describing the piture and what it means. The art work was spectacular, it blew me away. The book has "Dragon Tarot Candle Spells" where you can gain protection of the dragons. You can also find your personal dragon. This book is so detaled that it can be used by beginner and experenced people. The book was so well put togeather that I know it will last for ages. The cover was so goot I put it on my shelf. It realy works. It was uncanny how the cards were so acurate that it scared me silly. If you are not a person into the tarot I still say get it. The art work is so beautiful that you won't be dissapointed.

Incudes Book and Deck

This tarot set is wonderful.. I own hundreds of tarot decks including this one.. This set is perfect for beginers as well as expierenced tarot readers. The booklet gives straight thru meanings of each card, shows how spreads work, and even gives you meditations you can use.. The cards them selves are wonderful pieces of artwork..I promise that once you start using this.. you won't be disapointed..

You do not have to be a dragon lover to like these cards. I gave it a 5 because the cards are so beautiful. However, the book can be difficult to read and in some cases, the descriptions do not seem to match the cards themselves. I would not really recommend these cards to beginners, but if they speak to you, get them. You probably will not be disappointed. The images on the cards tend to speak for themselves, but if you're looking for specific meanings, the book can be very confusing and you may need to cross-reference with another book.

First off.. I would like to say that I am a bit of of a DJ Conway fan and when I found out that there are 2 tarot decks with her name on it.. I ordered this one. I just got the Celtic Dragon Tarot a few days ago and I must say that i am exceptionally impressed with it. In fact, I was blown away. Why? First off.. the cards are simply superb.. done in a way that anyone who uses them will feel comfortable with it as soon as they have it in their hands. Secondly, the book has the meaning of each card in it as well some magic spells to go with it. And lastly, but not the least, is that this deck is flexible for anyone in that you can use the system in the book (no reverse meanings)or stick to the traditional keyword system (has reverse meanings). (...)

for any tarot lover, or fantasy lover, these cards are magnificent... the strength and the powers of the dragons come through in every way possible. from the wisdom of age to the innocence of youth. it all is convayed in this deck. the regal nature of the dragon is clearly visible in the images drawn by the talented Lisa Hunt. ive only worked with two other tarot decks, but this far surpasses them. Lisa Hunt and D.J. Conway work wonderfully together...

I can't remember the last time I liked a new tarot deck as much as I like this one, and I wasn't even a dragon fan, at least not in the magickal sense, but something drew me to it. It's extremely well done. The artwork is just beautiful. I feel like I'm entering a magical kingdom every time I pick up the deck. When I bought it I figured it would be another one of those decks I keep just for the artwork, but as soon as I began to really look at it, I realized I'll be using it to the exclusion of most of my other decks. I just can't gush enough about this one!
