The Druid Craft Tarot - By: Wira P., 08 Oct 2008 
I absolutely love this deck! It's the one I use for personal meditation, & it never fails to disappoint. Other reviewers have written about the differences to a normal deck, so I'll just tell you about my impressions.
The cards are very big, which makes them quite difficult to shuffle, but the pictures are detailed enough to justify the size of the deck.
This is probably the most intricate deck I've ever come across - there are little bitsin every picture which aren't immediately obvious to the eye. For example, "The Lady" (who replaces "The Emperess"in more traditional decks) is holding a sheaf of wheat, which is obvious, but she has a plait that looks almost like a sheaf of wheat dangling over her shoulder, which isn't.
Personally I'm not too keen on the use of numerologyin the book - I think it's a load of bunk myself, but other than that the book is very interesting; the descriptions of the court cards are particularly useful. I really liked their version of the celtic cross, & I use that spread myself now every time I do a reading.
I'd recommend this deck for any Wiccans or Druids who want a religiously-themed deck, & don't want "The Devil" & "Judgement" (both re-namedin this deck) to crash their party!
a special deck - By: dessita, 31 Aug 2008 The cards are beautiful & the book is a very insightful read.
It is a slightly different approach to the Rider Waite decks, this is my special deck, not my everyday one.
If you own the Rider Waite, the following cards are different:
2- The High Priestess: the image is very deep & more mystical, my favourite card from this deck
3- The Empress is "The Lady"in this deck, again, more insightfulin my opinion, she is fuller pregnant & has bunches of wheat around her
4- The Emperor is "The Lord"in this deck, a little more relaxed looking manin throne
5- The Hierophant is "The High Priest"in this deck, another thing I like very much, they are female & male equivalents exactly, he looks less strict than the Hierophantin Rider Waite
8- Strength:in this deck she is not holding a lion, but a boar
10- The Wheel of Fortune is simply called "The Wheel"in this deck, it's interesting because the Wheel doesn't always represent fortune, but chance
14- Temperance is "The Fferyllt"in this deck & she looks more like an alchemist with the cauldron
15- The Devil is "Cernnunos"in this deck, although the image is quite similar
20- Judgement is "Rebirth"in this deck & shows a little boy coming out of a cave
Minor Arcana:
There are no Pages or Knights, but Princesses & Princes, which I personally like, again, female & male exact equivalent, not 3 males & 1 femalein the court cards
Nine of Cups -in this deck is a man sitting on a dining table with his 9 cups alone, which is insightful because it speaks to me as he has everything he needs but no one to share it with yet, different from the Rider Waite where the man on the card normally looks smug & pleased with himself,in my opinion
Three of Sworrds -in this deck it is not the 3 swords cut into the heart, but laid upright on a three with a heart of stone below it
Five of Pentacles - is differentin this deck as it shows a lady looking as ifin despair to the fields
Overall the drawings are beautiful & insightful, the cards are very large & more difficult to shuffle than regular sized tarot cards, the cards are also paper, not plastic.
I am currently taking lessons using the Rider Waite so I still find it more difficult to read with this deck but feel that with experience this can become my favourite.
A lovely deck & book either way.

The best tarot yet - By: D. Beaver, 21 Apr 2008 As somebody who has known the Tarot for over 30 years I was surprised that I could learn so much more & feel refreshed by this relatively new deck. I can see why the Aeclectic website voted this the most popular deck of all time.
Very beautiful, very expressive & so easy to connect to. The changes to names & images work superbly & I feel you would have no trouble getting accurate readings. As a bonus, clients feel very drawn to these cards - unlike some decks. There isn't a single card that irritates me (every other deck I own has one or two cards that just annoy me), although there are some you will be drawn to more than others.
As a meditation aid & to gain an understanding of the significance of animals & plantsin Druid mythology this deck is excellent. The accompanying book is very clear & well written. The cards are well made & I like the larger size. Order this deck; you won't be disappointed.
Beautifully written and illustrated - By: Celeste, 23 Sep 2007 I had my eye on this deck for a long time. I had only heard good things about the deck before I finally brought them & I wasn't disappointed. Wish I had purchased them sooner.
For anyone on a druid, wiccan, pagan etc path I would highly recommend this deck. Also anyone interestedin or just starting to learn tarot this would make a ideal second deck after the Rider Waite.
Each card has been fully illustrated & sticks to the usual imagery based on druid & pagan themes. Some of the Major Arcana names have been changed eg The Devil is now Cernunnos, but this adds to the charm of the deck & also calms fears for anyone not wanting to use the decks with cards like the Devilin them.
The accompanying book has a very positive feel to it,in a way of giving all the information but also leaving enough room to make your own interpretations. Even the more 'negative' cards are highlighted as a lesson to learn from & move on from rather than a mistake to dwell on & despair of. I like this view on the tarot, I suppose some may find it too soft & fuzzy, this is personal choice. Compared to the Thoth that I find like a strict teacher to learn from but fear, the Druid Craft Tarot is like learning from your favourite wise Grandma.
This has immediatley become my favourite deck & I have found it very easy to connect to.
