Product Description

Over a century ago, a young boy left Wales and journeyed to America, where he started a small press, now known as Llewellyn Publications. Llewellyn George's adventurous spirit and Welsh heritage embodies The Llewellyn Tarot, which also celebrates the publisher's enduring legacy.

From the creator of the popular Legend: The Arthurian Tarot Kit, this lavishly illustrated deck offers universal appeal (based on Rider-Waite) with a Welsh twist. A compelling story unfolds starring Rhiannon as The Empress, Bran the Blessed as The Emperor, The Wild Herdsman as The Horned God (the Devil), Gwydion as The Magician, Llew Llaw Gyffes as the Bringer of Light, and other figures from Welsh mythology. Watercolor imagery beckons us forth into a mystic world of ancient forests, sensuous seascapes, and wondrous waterfalls-gorgeous landscapes brimming with mystery, meaning, and magic. Also included is The Llewellyn Tarot Companion, which features an introduction to the craft and history of tarot, along with Welsh legends infused in this deck.

Beautiful !!
This is a beautiful deck! The colors and illustrations are beautiful.I am a Rider - Waite devotee... you can say that this deck pays tribute and in keeping with the RW deck. The book is wonderfully written and easy to interpret. I highly recommend the set!! As professional tarot reader of 25 years, it amazes me how many people do not want cards with "negative" reversed meanings. We live in a dual universe, and there for there are positives and negatives in every one's life. In my personal and humble opinion, to only concentrate on the "positives" in a reading robs you of the opportunity to grow not just as human but a spiritual being.

Gorgeous
I love this Tarot Deck. Got it at a bargain price on amazon as full boxed set with a lovely book (with the full story behind each card and some tarot spreads to try), the cards( great illustrations and a good size for handling) and a lovely gold organza bag. The Welsh Mythological theme to these cards make them great for collectors and mythology buffs, but with there straightforward explanations these are also a great beginners set or working deck. I would recommend these Tarot cards to anyone with the slightest interest in Tarot or Mythology.

Llewellyn Tarot
This is my favorite one. The cards are so delicated and the same time tells us so deeply. Very, very beautiful.
