A tarot deck grounded in Celtic mythology and Arthurian legend

• Presents the Major Arcana cards as allies, challenges, virtues, and cosmic forces, while the elemental Minor Arcana offers court cards featuring characters of Arthurian and Grail lore

• Shows you how to combine this deck with others for more complex readings and nuanced interpretations

• Presents four sample spreads and, for each card, offers divinatory meanings, challenges, and three Grail questions; along with tree lore, animal totems, gemstones, and flower essences depending on the element

Weaving wisdom from the Otherworlds, this tarot draws you into the evocative world of Arthurian legend and Celtic mythology. With hand-drawn artwork and poetic language, 78 colorful cards help you develop intuitive awareness and multilayered insight for your life.

Expanding on the traditional tarot, the Major Arcana divides into allies, challenges, virtues, and cosmic forces while the Minor Arcana follows the elements earth, air, water, and fire. You will meet Grail champions, including the Heroine Dindraine, as well as Lancelot, Guinevere, King Arthur, Galahad, and other characters of Grail lore. Wisdom codes interwoven in the deck—such as bird, animal, and insect totems and astrological influences—add different levels of awareness. The guidebook offers creative spreads and, for each card, divinatory meanings, challenges, and three Grail questions. A unique deck, the Celtic Elemental Tarot encourages you toward a deeper understanding of yourself and the challenges, as well as the opportunities, you face in life.
