View Full Version : A Great New Deck for Wiccans and Druids

I just bought the Druidcraft Tarot a few weeks ago and I am in love with it. It's largely a classic deck with 78 cards (22 Major and 56 Minor Arcana with the traditional numbering system). The art of the deck is beautifully rendered. There have been a few card changes with Cernunnos replacing the devil (and it doesn't represent evil), the Circle replacing the Wheel of fortune amongst other changes. This deck breaks free of much of the Judeo-Christian Imagery and translates the tarot in terms Wiccans can embrace without loosing the traditional character of the deck.

Check out this deck, you won't be dissappointed:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0312315023/qid=1142147762/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-1022378-6388633?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

Please note, I don't get any money for promoting this deck, I just think that it deserves a look by the pagan community. In my opinion it is more a Witch's Tarot than the Witch's Tarot by Ellen Cannon Reed. Acutally I see most "pagan" oriented decks to be nothing more than a pagan veneer over unchanged Rider-Waite imagery. This deck is a pagan deck in imagery, in card definitions and in fundamental philosophy.

Get this deck.

That's a very nice cover. I would want that book, but I've already bought my own Tarot deck that also has lovely art.

The Druidcraft Tarot's art is quite beautiful and the images in many instances are quite emotionally evocative. Prior to this deck my three favorite decks have been the Arthurian Tarot (for meditation), A Keeper of Words Tarot Deck and the Tarot of Spirit (primarily for meditation and magick).

I own the Robin Wood deck and though it is a fine deck all in all, it doesn't exactly excite me.
