The Sacred Circle Tarot: A Celtic Pagan Journey

by Anna Franklin

Llewellyn Worldwide | October 1, 1998 | Other

This Tarot isn''t for Everyone, but it may be For You!

The Sacred Circle Tarot draws on the Pagan heritage of Britain and Ireland, its sacred sites, and symbolic imagery from that tradition. It''s based on the idea (suggested by R. J. Stewart) that the Tarot had its origins with the bards of Celtic culture. Together with the included 336-page, full-size book, the deck becomes a virtual training course in Celtic Paganism.

Besides understanding the history and theories, there is lots of practical work for any Pagan or Tarot enthusiast. Included are instructions for six different spreads and how to use the cards for several types of meditation and personal spiritual development. The artwork, which combines photos, pencil drawings, computer colorization and enhancement helps to give a breathtaking feeling of extreme realism to the images. It should. The cards show actual landscapes and sacred sites in Britain and Ireland.

Pagans will enjoy the fact that many of the Christian or Kabalistic symbolism has been removed and replaced with symbolism of the ancient Celts. For example the Fool is now the Green Man, the Magician is the High Priest, the Emperor and Empress are the Lord and Lady, the Devil is replaced by the Underworld, and the World is now the World Tree.

The book is a veritable training course in Paganism and Tarot. The imagery on the cards is absolutely beautiful. It''s no wonder that this has become one of the most popular decks around. You''re going to love this as soon as you get your hands on it!

    Absolutely breathtaking. There are the usual 78 cards in the deck. However, all of the Major Arcana are renamed in accordance with the Celtic Pagan theme. Those who are experienced with tarot symbolism will recognize them even with the changed titles. The order is traditional. There are elaborate borders on each card in the deck, with four cornerstones of celtic knotwork, which varies in color according to the suit in question. The Major Arcana are framed with a stone border and so the celtic cornerstones are stone grey to match. The pictures frequently overflow the borders for a lovely layered effect. The book which comes with the set is a thick 322 pages, chock full of information which appears to me to be totally useable. Many layouts are described, as well as history of both the tarot itself and the tradition with which this deck is in keeping. Meditative techniques are described as well. Overall, this has to be one of the most impressive tarot deck-and-book sets I have seen this year. I highly recommend this set to anyone looking for a deck which is Celtic in origin, or just a visual feast of cards. Collectors will love it as well. With the information provided, a beginner could use this as well as the experienced tarotist.
