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. Watercolour imagery beckons us forth into a mystic world of ancient forests, sensuous seascapes, and wondrous waterfalls – gorgeous landscapes brimming with mystery, meaning and magic.
I didn’t expect such a big box ! The cards are “square”-er than what I’m used too, but despite that, my tiny hands are still able to shuffle them without trouble. The illustrations are stunning and the depth of the author in her thoughtful linking of Welsh Mythos and RWS-imagery is amazing.
Schitterend deck, goed verzorgd. Fijne kaarten om mee te werken.
Echt super mooie kaarten. Afbeeldingen zijn echt heel erg mooi (watercolor). Ik heb deze gekocht als back up, zo mooi vind ik ze en omdat ik de eerste getrimd hebt. Kaartdikte is wel minder maar goed dat is de standaard bij Llewellyn helaas. Boek is ook mooi en goed geschreven met veel uitleg over vooral de grote arcana en de mensen (welshe mythologie) die ze gekozen hebben voor de afbeeldingen.
