Celtic Tarot
This is a colorful deck in a mosaic style. I'm not particularly fond of it, but I'm not Celtic, so perhaps that's why. I find the images busy and difficult for me to get a handle on. The mosaic style interferes with the symbolism in my opinion.
The deck follows standard Rider-Waite (RW) pattern. All of the cards keep the RW names and associations. The suits are wands, cups, swords and coins. The courts are king, queen, knight and page. There are no pictures on the pips, just the appropriate number of suit items. My deck came with a book, "The Celtic Tarot," which I recommend with the deck.
The cards are about 3.25 by 4.25 inches and handle well. They are sturdy but not stiff. I have no reason thus far to doubt their durability.
I find the deck difficult to read with, but it may just be me. As a result, I don't recommend it for beginners, unless they have a fondness for the mosaic style or are knowledgable in Celtic symbolism. I do recommend the deck for collectors and theme deck lovers.
