The Druid Craft Tarot - CARDS & BOOK SET

By Brian Stevenson View Profile
This new deck and book has been eagerly awaited and I am pleased to report that neither the book nor the deck disappoint.The DruidCraft Tarot is not the first Druid deck to appear on the market, but the advantage this deck has over its rivals is that its creators are all knowledgeable and experienced Druids. Philip & Stephanie Carr-Gomm and artist Will Worthington are all active in the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, one of the largest international Druid groups. Together they have created a well-researched and fascinating deck of beautiful and striking images. The DruidCraft Tarot suits are standard Swords, Wands, Pentacles and Cups, with Princess, Prince, Queen, and King court cards. Some Major Arcana cards are changed: Lady and Lord instead of Emperor and Empress, Fferylt for Temperance and Cernunnos for The Devil. While not exactly a Rider-Waite clone, the DruidCraft Tarot draws on the same sources of Golden Dawn and western magical tradition. All the cards have a lively theatrical feel to them and give the impression that they are depicting something significant happening. Stephanie Carr-Gomm is Scenic Artist in Residence at Glyndebourne Festival Opera and I'm sure that her sense of theatre and drama must have influenced the appearance of the cards. I particularly liked the way in which several cards depict animals looking out of the card directly at the reader. For example, in the King of Cups, the King is shown gazing out to sea, but behind his throne a wolfhound looks at the reader. In the Queen of Pentacles, the Queen looks at her drum and a grey hare perched a little way behind her stares into the eyes of the reader.

The cards are larger than standard and some people may find them a little difficult to shuffle.......more

I absolutely love this set. I've had my eye on it for a few years now, but only decided to buy it after seeing a friend's deck in real life. Excellent quality too. I've shopped with Holistic Shop for a few years now and they've never let me down. In fact, I only ordered this yesterday morning and it arrived this morning. Great service and I'll be back to order again.

I have just purchased my 2nd Druidcraft Tarot from you, why? because I want to have a reserve put by in case my others get damaged from too much use! These cards are incredibly accurate as well as stunningly beautiful. I do have a collection of other Tarot cards but never felt I was getting the type of readings I felt my clients deserved, the cards felt half hearted in their energies and I found that they didn't spark my intuition enough. I only realised this when I started to use the Druidcraft Tarot, everything became clearer for me the energies were so vibrant that my clairvoyance lifted enormously. These cards really do speak to you, they are my all time favourites. I use them with the Druid Animal cards and they blend wonderfully together, all in all these two sets of cards give accuracy, stimulation, energy and depth to any reading. My readings have improved enormously. I love them.

I love this deck! The fact that it has no Christian overtones and follows a shamanistic tradition, albeit not my own. Mine is Finno-Karelian as a blood-line and Tibetan by adoption. Still, it speaks to me and has an authentic vibrancy. The cards are beautiful, and although large, this gives them a reassuring solidity in this floating world.
As usual, the Holistic Shop has provided exemplary service and this goes also for the Haindl Tarot, the Osho Zen, the Arthurian and Sharman-Caselli which they have also sent me
