Celtic Goddesses, Witches, and Queens Oracle

Mind Body & Soul Ezine: Celtic Goddesses, Witches, and Queens Oracle by Danu Forest, and illustrated by Dan Goodfellow. Boxed set of 40 cards and Guidebook. Published by Schiffer Books. $29.99 ISBN: 978-0-7643-6700-7 

Expect a council of wise and powerful women from pre-Christian, Celtic cultures! Warriors, elders, lovers, and queens from Northern Europe, the islands of Britain and Ireland are featured in this delightful deck with excellent artwork and equally good write-ups on each card. We are connected to the cards through our own challenges and trials, with nature, home, sovereignty, death, healing, courage, fortitude, etc., being just some topics. We learn about background lore, the meaning and purpose, the mystery and history of these 40 powerful females, such as Brigid, Cerridwen, Danu, Epona, Macha, the Morrigan, Nimue, and some rarer female energies. 

Each card has an artwork, a title, and a subtitle, and a pronunciation guide. In the accompanying book, we also have for each card, 400 words of information, 200 words of divinatory meaning, and a prayer. 

We are also provided with enjoyable ritual, devotionals and ceremony. We have information on how to use this oracle, and a blessing for the cards. Questions are answered, who were the Celts? What were they famous for? Who were their women? 

This is could be your sole oracle deck for use for women seekers, and it could be used by a beginner reader or an experienced one. This deck will take pride of place in my collection.
