I had never been one for Tarot or Tarot never seemed to want me. The Runes, as a means of divination, meditation and guidance have always been my 'way'. However, one day I had an urge to go for the Tarot . I found myself buying the 'Ryder Waite' deck however, I could not really relate to this and was just about to give up on the Tarot until I stumbled upon this deck!

Beautifully painted and created with such gorgeous imagery and symbolism, some of these cards should be framed! I found them inspiring and wonderful to look at, and, relating to Druidry, Wiccan and Celtic symbolism, I find them more accessible for my learning and understanding of the Tarot.
The accompanying book by Carr-Gomm is just as accessible with each card described using his deep understanding of druidry and wicca. I would recommend this for beginners in Tarot (such as me!) and experienced readers. ( )

One of THE most gorgeous tarot decks I've ever seen. Highly recommended for those who love Celtic imagery. This deck is appropriate for both Wiccans and Druids, as it was designed by Carr-Gomm. The images are multi-faceted and every time you look you'll see something new. The cards are quite large, so those with small hands will need practice to shuffle, but it is well worth the effort. Highly recommended. ( )

Beautiful cards, with good, clear explanations for each card, suit and grouping. ( )

Book description
Aan tarotkaarten is geen gebrek, maar een tarot die teruggrijpt op twee natuurreligies wicca en druïdeschap is een unicum. Philip en Stephanie Carr-Gomm maakten eerder furore met hun Dierenenorakel der druïden en hebben zichzelf overtroffen met dit imposante tarotspel, dat mede door de fabelachtige tekeningen van Bill Worthington, specialist in Keltische magie en Koning-Arthurverhalen, een verpletterende indruk maakt.
In De tarot van de druïden komen de wortels van wicca en druïdeschap samen in de vorm van een tarotspel. Centraal staat het verhaal van Cerridwen, godin van de oogst, die zich verenigt met de graangod, vermomd als een onschuldige jongeling (in het `gewone´ tarot: De Dwaas). Na het nuttigen van haar toverdrank wordt hij door de godin door de vier seizoenen (de Zwaarden, Bekers, Staven en Pentakels van de 56 kaarten van de Kleine Arcana) gejaagd. In de 22 kaarten van de Grote Arcana volgen we de reis van De Dwaas op zoek naar verdieping en inzicht. Hier ontmoeten we mythische figuren als de tovenaar Merlijn (De Magiër), de oorlogsgodin Boadicea (De Zegewagen) en De Groene Man (De Duivel).
Zoals bij alle kaartensets van Altamira-Becht het geval is, bevat ook deze set een heldere uiteenzetting over het leggen en duiden van de kaarten.
