The Celtic Dragon Tarot

Summary: Love with a reservation
Review: I am a major fan of Ms Conway's writings and insights. And the art work & symbology is gorgeous. But one piece of heavy handed propoganda is making the going slow. Polarity. Or the theory that everyone MUST have a male to compliment the female & vice versa in all magickal workings. The deck is fine, but the companion book is, again, heavy handed.

Summary: ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE HAS RISEN
Review: I am sixteen years old, and I have been reading the Tarot for three years. This deck is very special, and you can feel it the first time you hold it.
I can honestly say this is a very attractive deck. Each card is beautifully illustrated and acts as a doorway to the untapped potential of the Tarot.
The book that comes along with the deck is very informative, and gives a few lessons on candle magick, and how to tap into the vast knowledge of these astral enigmas that are thought of by many as fairy tale creatures. It includes step by step instructions, candle color properties, and a list of stones to add a bit more "magick" to the spells and readings. It deserves five stars.
I strongly believe that you shouldn't order decks. Search for your own special and personal deck. Try to feel for it, and it will call and draw you in. This is just something that I believe everyone that wants a Tarot deck should know. Thanks for reading.

Summary: The Celtic Dragon Taot...
Review: I Bought the set and it sounded very good. I think that it soundes better then it is. It is very complicated. The cards have great artwork and they are very nice to look at. It is a good deck but i would have chosen something a little more simple. If you like complications and time consuming definitions then this is the set for you. If you want something a little more simple and precise keep searching. Overall it is an Ok set.

Summary: Absolutely fantastic!
Review: I can't remember the last time I liked a new tarot deck as much as I like this one, and I wasn't even a dragon fan, at least not in the magickal sense, but something drew me to it. It's extremely well done. The artwork is just beautiful. I feel like I'm entering a magical kingdom every time I pick up the deck. When I bought it I figured it would be another one of those decks I keep just for the artwork, but as soon as I began to really look at it, I realized I'll be using it to the exclusion of most of my other decks. I just can't gush enough about this one!

Summary: Best Tarot Deck For Followers of the Dragon Path
Review: I dont really appreciate the way one of these reviews said that it was bad because of the differant names and meanings, because, in TRUTH the meanings are very accurate and helpful. And if that reviewer had read the book completely, maybe they would understand this IS NOT a Tarot deck based off of christian beliefs. There is nothing christan about this tarot deck at all! therefore, no devil card, and a few others. These cards have really been accurate for me. I recommend them for any Dragon Path follower who wishes to further their connection with Dragon-kind. They really will help you gain a more benefical connection. Not recommended for narrow minded people.

Summary: The best I've come across
Review: I have many different tarot decks, but this is most certanitly the most reliable not to mention the most beautiful. Conway is a wonderful author and Hunt is an extreamly talented artist. This book card set proves both. Read and enjoy!

Summary: beautiful deck but...
Review: i just bought this deck to replace an old deck that was ruined by water, and while i'm pretty happy with the cards themselves, the book and explanations are severely lacking. i do not like the switch of swords & wands, or the renaming of a couple cards. i'm not into dragons in a magick sense, so all the stuff about them was pretty heavy handed. but the part that made me put everything back in the box to return it is where the author said this deck is not meant to be read in reverse. that seems really unnatural to me, and although this may sound "hokey", it severed any beginning connection i had with the deck. unfortunately, i couldn't skim through the book before i spent the money on the deck.

i recommend the deck for the beautiful artwork but i feel it's better to look at then to actually use.

Summary: The best tarot deck of the 20th Century!
Review: I know I am just repeating what previous reviewers have stated. This is an awsome tarot deck. By far the best I own. The card art (by Lisa Hunt) is phenomenal. The imagery evokes strong emotions and can be very personal. The book is also wonderfully informative.
If you are looking for the your first deck, love celtic and dragon art, or are looking to add to you collection, I highly recommend getting the Celtic Dragon Tarot.

Summary: Like A Best Friend
Review: I love dragons so this was like meeting up with a best friend I hadn't seen in ages. When I opened the package, my eyes were filled with soft, yet very evocative images. While I may call them soft, they are definitely not too feminine so men shouldn't be turned off by this deck.

The deck itself felt really good in my hands. You can tell this was a labor of love. The cards were slightly firm, yet easy to shuffle. The lamination is just right. The artwork on the cards is absolutely beautiful but this is so much more than just another one of those 'pretty' decks that are all flash yet have no substance. These cards are filled with haunting stories all their own and you don't necessarily need to read the companion book to get caught up in the tales. Lisa Hunt is a wonderful artist and her knowledge of dragons and tarot really shines through here.

The book is filled with useful information on interpretation and there are some spreads to help you get started. In addition to this, there are even dragon spells, meditations, and a small section on candle colors, their uses, and stone powers is also included. The author, D. J. Conway weaves each of the cards into a very informative, yet not overdone explanation of the symbolism, and then gives a brief, but well thought out divinatory meaning. The only drawback I've found is that the book does not include a reversal section with the divinatory meanings. It's only a minor flaw though.

I have used this deck since it first came out and let me tell you, it's stood the test of time, unlike certain other decks where the lamination begins to peel or wear off almost immediately. I've found the Celtic Dragon Tarot to be an excellent tool for meditation as well as reading. I always have this deck on hand for my fellow dragon fan clients. I highly recommend this deck to anyone from novice to expert and of course, to any dragon fan.

Summary: A Pleasant Surprise
Review: I must admit, i was skeptical at first when i got this deck...
I have used the "Shapeshifter Deck" by the same author and was not impressed... The Shapeshifter cards were a work of art in themselves, but they just didn't speak to me.

The Dragon deck has a life and energy all of its own.
It immediately took form and in its own way started speaking.

The pictures are very fantasy based, yet within the realms of fantsy they have very clear insight to provide answers to questions asked.

I have noticed that this deck has a very "healing effect"...
When reading for other people, this particular deck has a "medical flare" to it... Tuning into people's physical and emotional problems right to the core.

The cards alone have a pleasant energy when you hold them in your hands. It is a very sweet deck, and one that "likes to be used". Definately a deck that likes to be put to work....

I love it =)
