The Celtic Goddess Oracle Deck - fifty-two goddesses from Celtic mythology
Celtic mythology holds dozens of female figures, each with her own domain. Cerridwen, goddess of transformation. Awen, embodiment of inspiration. This deck gathers fifty-two of them.
Gillian Kemp, author of several divination books, designed the set. The cards show the goddesses in direct, recognisable imagery. No obscure symbolism, no esoteric codes. What you see is what the card says.
What you see on the cards
The illustrations are rendered in warm colours. Plenty of green, gold and earth tones. Each goddess is shown with attributes that belong to her story: a cauldron, a spear, flowers, water.
The cards have a matte finish and are printed on sturdy cardstock. The size is 115 x 152 mm, slightly larger than a standard playing card. They sit comfortably in the hand, even for smaller hands.
How the guidebook works
The guidebook runs to 128 pages. Each goddess receives her own description: who she is, what she stands for, and what her card can mean in a reading.
It also explains seven different spreads. From a simple three-card layout to a more detailed spread for specific questions. The tone is calm and practical. No elevated language, no assumptions about what you should already know.
Draw a card before you write or begin a creative project. Many of the goddesses are connected to inspiration and craft.

Questions we often get
Do I need to know Celtic mythology to work with this deck?
No. The guidebook provides enough context for each goddess. You read who she is and what she represents. That is enough to get started.
How does this differ from a tarot deck?
Tarot has a fixed structure of 78 cards, divided into major and minor arcana. This oracle deck has 52 individual cards with no hierarchy. Each card stands for a goddess, not for an abstract phase or situation.
