Product Description
Book Description
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. Watercolor imagery beckons us forth into a mystic world of ancient forests, sensuous seascapes, and wondrous waterfalls-gorgeous landscapes brimming with mystery, meaning, and magic. Also included is The Llewellyn Tarot Companion, which features an introduction to the craft and history of tarot, along with Welsh legends infused in this deck.
About the Author
Anna-Marie Ferguson, a Scorpio, was born November 10, 1966, in the heart of the New Forest, Hampshire, England. When she was ten years old her family emigrated to rural Alberta, Canada. Anna returned to England in 1982 to undergo training in graphic design. She eventually returned to Alberta where she continued a career in design, devoting her spare time to developing her illustrating skills, ably assisted by her three cats.Anna's fascination with Celtic legends and the Tarot began when she was a child in England. The atmosphere of the New Forest was steeped in history, and faithful readings of the legends cultivated an appreciation of "the romantic" in Anna. Such formative influences have inspired Anna to keep this bygone age alive through her art.

Beautiful But.......,
By defyinggravity.ca "sevannah" (toronto, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Llewellyn Tarot (Cards)
What a beautiful tarot deck. The art work is cheerful and perfect for those that the gloomy or scarey looking decks don't appeal too. I ended up ordering another deck because the cards from shuffling split, the corners tore and the colour started to wear away with use. I've had other decks and they went through more use and this never happened to them. The low rating is for the flimsy quality, if I could give 5 stars for art work I would.

LOVE LOVE LOVE,
This review is from: The Llewellyn Tarot (Cards)
This deck is really beautiful. The art work is fabulous. If you love water colour then this is the deck to buy. I am so drawn to it and the reading I get with it is great. The cards have the feel of romance especially the lovers card. One of my absolute favourites.

Très joli et féminin,
By
This review is from: The Llewellyn Tarot (Cards)
Mme. Ferguson signe ici un autre très joli tarot et elle prouve encore un fois qu'elle est une artiste de talent indéniable. Les arcanes majeures sont peut-être un peu trop denses à mon gout et l'élément eau est presque partout présent dans le majeures ce qui confère un coté un peu trop féminin et naïf à celles-ci. La couleur à travers l'ensemble du tarot est aussi un peu trop pastel et on peine parfois à discerner les nombreux et jolis détails. Dans l'ensemble, un tarot à ajouté a votre collection et qui se prête parfaitement à la méditation mais, par contre, un peu moins à l'interprétation et aux tirages.
