What are these cards and what makes them special?
Connection to the Celtic WorldAs the name suggests, this deck adds rich Celtic mythology, symbolism, and the energy of nature to the classic Lenormand system. Instead of standard scenes, you will see images drawing from trees, festivals, deities, and the ancient wisdom of the Celts.
Classic yet New
The core system of 36 Lenormand cards is preserved, known for providing clear, direct, and practical answers to daily questions. Due to the Celtic theme, interpretations become more poetic and multi-layered, as if calling upon ancient forces for assistance.
Key Features
The set contains 45 cards, featuring both the classic 36 Lenormand symbols and additional cards (such as images of people, trees, or animals) that expand the range of meanings. The illustrations are natural, in warm earth tones, inspired by real Celtic landscapes. Due to its expanded structure, the deck allows for more precise, flexible, and intuitive readings.
Kit Contents
The set includes 45 richly illustrated cards and a comprehensive booklet that offers not only keywords but also in-depth explanations of the symbols, timing indications, spiritual messages, light and shadow aspects of the cards, and connections to pagan practices, moon phases, and the Celtic Wheel of the Year. This expanded content is very useful for both beginners and experienced readers seeking additional depth.
Inspiration and Symbolism
The atmosphere of the deck is based on Celtic mythology, paganism, and natural cycles, reflected through the symbols of animals, plants, goddesses, and elements of nature. The Three Birds, representing the Triple Goddess, are a beautiful example of how the deck connects the classic Lenormand structure with ancient spiritual archetypes. The additional cards for people and animals allow for more accurate identification of roles and energies in the reading, which is a rarity in Lenormand systems.
Artistic Style
Wonderful IllustrationWorthington's style is warm, earthy, and distinctly natural. The cards are full of details that function as small narrative scenes – not just symbols, but living reflections of the Celtic world. The color palette is calm, rich in green, brown, and golden hues, giving the deck an organic, almost ritualistic feel. The images are clear yet rich in symbols, which facilitates both logical reading and intuitive insight.
