Celtic Messages

by Joules Taylor

*The Celtic people lived on the edges of the ancient world and had a deep respect for their gods and nature. Every element of their lives was imbued with a sense of the sacred and they attached symbols to every feature in their world. This beautiful pack provides an introduction to Celtic symbols and how to use them to guide you through your life, just as the Celts were guided by their deities, animals, and talismans. *52 exquisitely illustrated cards and a 64 page colour book for affirmation, divination, and stimulating your intuition. *Full interpretations for every card, plus ten card layouts to help you see into the past, present, and future.

This is sort of like an oracle deck. The idea that the future is in the cards doesn't jive with me (I don't "get" tarot at all). BUT! I am a very visual person, and I like to find new ways of understanding my present circumstances.

This particular deck is wonderful! It has, of course, a bunch of suggested layouts with intended meanings, but I just do things my own way. The thing I like about it so much is that it has different categories: Helpers, Animals, Places, and Tools. I love using these metaphors to understand things more intuitively and creatively.

And the biggest bonus: The cards are ROUND! Oh, and they are so much fun. I really like this deck.

As hokey as the text that came with these cards was, the imagery used in the cards themselves was actually pretty culturally relevant. They are good for divination, or simply for introspection and playing around with ideas. The art and format of the cards is also quite interesting. The circular shape makes you want to play with them and turn them every-which-way. This is a very approachable deck. If you're a history nerd, just avoid the text that comes with it and enjoy the well done cards.
