*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.

More wannablessedbe than Celtic,
By Redheaded Druid (SF Bay Area, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celtic Messages [With 52 Cards for Affirmation & Divination] (Paperback)
I agree with the previous reviewer that the illustrations are charming. That and the round shape of the cards make it at least a less-than-common deck. Its approach is consistent within itself as well. It has nicely innovative layouts (albeit with their own problems, noted below). I was hoping the deck would turn out to be more than it did. But its soft-focus attitude toward the Celts and clear influence of non-Celtic belief patterns on the attitude of the creator left me disappointed.
This deck would be better described as Semi-Wiccan Messages for the Celtically Inclined. 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 in direct contradiction to the recorded Celtic belief that moving clockwise is advantageous and prosperous while counter-clockwise motion is seen as negative and useful for insult and challenge. I confirmed that with a simple Google search. People seeking a system of divination with genuine roots in Celtic tradition and lore would be far better served by Erynn Laurie's work on ogam. This deck is a mish-mash of precious little research and too much modern fantasy.

A very beautiful and wise oracle............,

This review is from: Celtic Messages [With 52 Cards for Affirmation & Divination] (Paperback)
I got this oracle about 3 months ago and it's been an absolute joy to work with!
They're 52 round cards with many different types of Celtic deities, symbols and animals depicted on them. The artwork is vibrant and very outstanding! It's done by Emma Garner, who's also illustrated many of my other favourite oracles such as Good Witch Bad Witch and Tree Magick. There is a whimsical charm and warmth to the illustrations and colours used. My intuition and emotions respond right off to them. There are 4 suits the cards seperated in: The Place cards, symbolize where you are or where you ought to be. The Helper cards, symbolize people and their qualities. The Tool cards, symbolize forces outside yourself, the actions you must take, or the tools needed. The Totem cards, represent animals that were sacred to the Celts. With 52 cards they cover a surprisingly large amount of knowledge and wisdom! Also if you have your own insight and knowledge with the Celtic culture the cards and images spark even more associations in your readings. There are 10 great spreads in the book which is 64 pages. The interpertations given are excellent and a great jumping off point. For the price and the gorgeous illustrations and fascinating book you can't go wrong with this set! if you love all things Celtic it's a must have!
