Celtic astrology worked differently from the system we know now. Seasons, trees and animals formed a calendar that linked life phases to natural cycles. This oracle makes that old structure concretely usable.
Antonella Castelli draws in a style that combines Celtic knotwork with the flowing lines of art nouveau. The 26 cards each show an animal archetype belonging to a specific period in Celtic astrology. No images of celestial paths, but visual translations of energy.
Each animal is embedded in ornaments: spirals, knots, geometric patterns typical of Celtic art. The lines are clear enough to distinguish details, rich enough to keep looking at.
The cards are large, 88 by 125 mm. They feel solid in hand. The format gives the drawings room to breathe.
The guidebook explains how each animal relates to the Celtic zodiac. No lists of fixed meanings, but texts that describe the quality of the energy. What does this animal do, which period does it represent, what lesson belongs to it.
This is not tarot. It is also not lenormand. It is an oracle with its own logic, based on an astrology that revolves around trees, animals and natural cycles rather than planets.
If you are used to decks with fixed structures, this system asks you to shift gears. The 26 cards follow the division of the Celtic tree calendar and the associated animals. That number is not arbitrary, but fits the way the Druids divided the year.
Draw a card and first read only which animal it is and which period belongs to it. Only then go to the description in the guidebook.
Lunaea Weatherstone is a priestess and tarot advisor. Her background lies in Pagan spirituality and astrology. She has been writing about these subjects for forty years and develops oracle concepts that link ancient traditions to contemporary questions.
Antonella Castelli illustrates tarot and oracle cards with a preference for historical styles. Her work for this deck shows that she understands both the symbolism and the aesthetics of Celtic art.
Do I need to know the Celtic zodiac to work with this deck?
No. The guidebook explains how the system works. The cards themselves are also readable without prior knowledge, because the animals and symbols are clear enough to work with intuitively.
How does this oracle differ from a standard tarot deck?
It has 26 cards instead of 78, no fixed structure of arcana and suits, and no RWS-based symbolism. It follows the logic of the Celtic tree calendar and animal archetypes from the Druidic tradition.

Dit deck bestaat uit 26 zeer mooie uitgevoerde kaarten van goede kwaliteit. Het enige minpuntje is de beperkte uitleg bij de kaarten, gezien het feit dat je ook op internet weinig informatie over de Keltische dierenastrologie vindt (i.t.t. de meer gekende astrologie met de sterrenbeelden).
