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.
