Reviews
When I showed others who like to read with Celtic-theme decks, they took two hands to handle each card and a moment each to look at each card. It's a rich, inviting deck and I consider their lingering study a high compliment to the art. Will Worthington has done this level of work with the ruid Animal Oracle as well. I also like the use of beautiful sky backdrops, natural forest settings and animals that populate the scenes.
I've read some people feel more connected to this deck because their heritage and framework come from European roots. The reason I connect to this deck is a choice I made in a dual path of study that enjoys a Western framework as well. I don't see the DruidCraft characters necessarily as Pagan Europeans from the British Isles--I see them as human beings following a naturalistic path that warmly interacts with their setting. A beautiful tarot deck can do this for others, no matter what heritage they spring from.
