This lavishly illustrated deck is based on the traditional
Rider-Waite-Smith deck, making readings easy. It also reveals a
compelling Celtic story featuring Rhiannon as The Empress, Bran the
Blessed as The Emperor, The Wild Herdsman as The Devil, Gwydion as The
Magician, Llew Llaw Gyffes as the Bringer of Light and other figures
from Welsh mythology.
This deck—created by famed artist Anna-Marie Ferguson—reveals Welsh
myths and honors Llewellyn George, who traveled from Wales to the U.S.
in 1901 to teach astrology and start Llewellyn Publications. The deck
comes with a full-size book that explains the myths associated with the
image on each card as well as their divinatory meanings. It also
includes two original spreads.
The Llewellyn Tarot
brings life to the ancient myths while keeping to a structure that
makes it ideal for giving readings. It honors the wisdom and spirit two
great personalities, one who strived in myth, and another who strode to
open astrology in a new land.
