5.0 out of 5 stars Like A Best Friend, May 11, 2004

By 

Matt Helm (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Celtic Dragon Tarot Kit (Cards)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A Deck that actually "TALKS"!, March 30, 2000

By 

LydiaH (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Celtic Dragon Tarot Kit (Cards)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice! A pleasure to look at and read., April 12, 2000

This review is from: The Celtic Dragon Tarot Kit (Cards)

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.
