Rating:  Summary: MY FAVORITE DECK Review: This is easily the most beautiful card deck I have seen. As the authors say in their book, this system of divination is similar to the Native American "Medicine Wheel" cards, but for those of us with a background in or affinity to the ancient Celtic or European Shamanic/Druidic ways. If you love animals you will love this deck and book. The cards are beautifully colored and rich with symbolism, and the book is easy to read and full of information.A note to people who love dragons: it is not evident from the box, but in addition to featuring natural animals like Cow, Stag, Salmon, etc. (and even Bee!), four dragons are featured, one for each of the four elements: Earth Dragon, Fire Dragon, etc. Also, the blue and silver cloth that comes with the set features these four dragons on its four corners. A nice bonus for those of us who are into dragons. The beautiful cards are excellent for use in divination, and the spreads are simple and meaningful. In addition the authors discuss the animals as Totems and Guides and I have found the cards to also be good for meditation. There are three blank cards for you to add your own animals -- 36 cards in all. Well worth the price. If I could give this set 10 stars I would!
Rating:  Summary: Well worth the money! Review: Written by the chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (O.B.O.D.) this authoritative piece of work is as historically and visually stunning as it is entreating. The artwork is great, kudos to bill for a job well done. The texts explaining each card and it's uses it thoughtful, inspirational, and if used for the purpose of divination, down right accurate! A must have for anyone interested in Druidry or divination!
