Summary: Wonderful Intro to the Ogham Divination System
Review: First, I must expound on the beautiful packaging in which this set is delivered - A wooden box inclusive of Book, Cards, Pad and Layout suggestion sheet. This kind of attention to detail is what you'll find throughout the book and cards.Remember that the Ogham is not another form of tarot, but more like the Norse rune system with the symbols or runes representing a particular tree or related symbology. The Druids were by and far connected to the spirit of place through the trees, the Oak being the most sacred of all. If one gives this set an opportunity to speak for itself, without any preconceived ideas as to what it should be, I think any reader would be impressed. Both beginner and experienced, alike. The cards are bit small, just slightly smaller than playing cards, and the book is a bit controversial, alluding to the Celtic tree calendar, the existence of which is a point of contention among many Celtic scholars. Beyond that, I am thoroughly happy with my set and have enjoyed many insightful readings. Colin Murray passed on during the creation of this set, and I extend my heartfelt condolences and thanks to Liz Murray, who found the strength and courage to carry on.

Summary: A BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE DECK
Review: I keep reading how the Celts really DIDN'T use the trees as a calender system, that this was a system invented by Robert Graves. Well, having said that, it really doesn't matter to me in the year 2002; this deck is beautiful & insightful, & I believe that if you could travel back in time & show this set to an ancient Celt or Druid, they would like it a lot!
The art work is beautiful & the box container gives it a bit more class. As the other readers have said, this deck was not designed for the typical Celtic Cross layout, but you know what? I believe you can use ANY deck ANY WAY you want! As long as your intent is there, you will get good results, as I have done withthis deck..I sometimes just pull one card from the deck to get a feel for a situation or event. I have found it to be accurate & helpful.
This deck is truly a joy to own & I'd recommend it to anyone interested in Celtic tree magic.

Summary: The Celtic Tree Oracle is a unique tool for divination.
Review: The Celtic Ogham Tree Cards are a wonderful introduction into the Celtic Culture. The Murray's knowledge of Celtic history and folklore is evident in their explanation of how to read and interpret the tree cards. Vanessa Card uses muted colors for her intricate and delicate pen and ink illustrations of the trees on the cards. I have used the Celtic Tree Oracle for quite a few years and I recommend this system of divination to anyone that is curious about what the surrounding elements may have to say them.

Summary: My favorite!
Review: This amazing little set is based on the Celtic tree alphabet, the Ogham (pronounced oh-um). As one reviewer mentioned, this is not just a tarot deck with tree cards: this is a completely different divination system. The Murrays present a complex layout which I think is rather exhaustive, but gives a very clear insight. If their system is too much, though, you can use other layouts; I've had good results with the standard Celtic cross layout and the three-card spread as well. The book is well-written and informative, and each card's meaning intertwines with the history of the tree. You can also use your own associations with the trees to interpret the cards' meanings. For me, the deck is incredibly accurate, and it's the one I turn to most often for omens or other divinatory purposes. I thought the wooden box was a nice touch, too. ;)

Summary: In depth, but confusing...
Review: Warning: if you are a beginner DO NOT START HERE. This book and system do not lend themselves easily to those who are just starting out. On the other hand, if you are experienced and love Celtic culture, this is a wonderful system. The book is comprehensive and the cards and art are lovely. Plus, those who are drawn to the Celts will make a distinct connection. I've found if you have patience you will get wonderful results.
