Originally published in 1990, The Celtic Tarot is a beautifully crafted deck that draws upon the myths, legends and artistic heritage of the Celtic tradition. With intricate illustrations by Courtney Davis and a comprehensive companion book by Helena Paterson, it remains a favourite for those who appreciate both tarot and Celtic culture.
In this walkthrough, I’ll be exploring the original 1990 edition complete with its companion book, taking a close look at the intricate artwork, the beautifully illuminated Major Arcana, the distinctive Marseille-style pip cards, and the legendary figures that populate the court cards. We’ll also dip into Helena Paterson’s book to see how Celtic mythology and Druidic traditions are woven into the meanings of the cards.
Whether you’re a collector of vintage tarot, fascinated by Celtic mythology, or simply curious about one of the classic decks of the late twentieth century, I hope you’ll enjoy this closer look at a deck that continues to captivate readers more than three decades after its release.
Do you own The Celtic Tarot, or is this your first time seeing it? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
