Book Description

July 20, 2000
What culture is more steeped in mystery, magic, passion and war, or can more vividly inspire us to use and understand the Tarot, than that of Ireland? There is probably no other culture in the world which stimulates as much interest as that of the Celtic people. By using tales from Celtic mythology we can gain greater depth and insight from Tarot readings, for by interpreting these stories into concrete terms our unconscious minds allow them to become powerful tools for profound inner change and growth.

The Celtic Tarot pack contains everything you need to become an accomplished Tarot reader. Use the cards with sensitivity, follow the instructions and interpretations in the accompanying book with care, and the wisdom of the Tarot can be yours.

CONTENTS
Deck of 78 beautifully illustrated cards, comprising the Major and Minor Arcana
Book of 176 pages explains the meanings of the cards and how to interpret them

3.0 out of 5 stars A very nice deck, December 2, 2004
This review is from: The Celtic Tarot (Hardcover)
I have used this deck for about a year now, and like it quite a bit. For one thing, while the card meanings are approximate Rider-Waite, many of the images are quite different, but still very evocative. For example, the RW 9 cups shows a fat man sitting in front of 9 cups. This deck shows a maiden sitting by a lovely rocky pool, with a spring trickling into it, and 9 cups submerged in the water. Lovely image, and very in tune with the 'wishing well' aspect of this card.
The book has very good relationship meanings for all the cards, making it very easy to read. And since relationships are the focus of the majority of my readings, this feature is really useful. The celtic legends in the book are very cool. I have lots of Tarot books and this is one of the ones I use the most. I don't think the art is bad--it's soft and misty, like watercolors. All in all, a very nice deck.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Deck, March 26, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Celtic Tarot (Hardcover)
This is a great deck, I have used it for the last six months and was delighted to find it so easy to use. The images on the cards are positive and I love the stories associated with the cards. I never realised that Celtic Mythology was so fascinating and could be used along side the Tarot is such a constructive way. A Great Buy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Oz Fan, July 26, 2002

This review is from: The Celtic Tarot (Hardcover)
I just would like to say how much I have enjoyed THE CELTIC TAROT book and deck. The style of book was easy to follow especially for someone just learning and developing an interest in TAROT. I'm sure any reader with an understanding of tarot would greatly appreciate this style of book. Julian de Burgh's interruption of his deck is a story within itself. Each card is explained in detail, I especially enjoyed the history of each card following its Celtic beliefs. Even for a beginner I could see the meaning unfold in each card. The details, size and colour of the deck are a pleasure to use. I recently was given a copy of Julian de Burgh's second book THE TAROT OF THE CELTIC HEART available from Amazon UK, go check it out and add it to your collection, it's another wonderful read!
