This is at the moment, my favorite purchase of 2023, I love this deck and everything that comes with it, love the package, love the deck, love the art, love the cards, love the book.
First off, is a lewwelly kit, not only that, is the official Lewellyn Publisher deck, the artist was tasked to create a representative deck for the Lewellyn company to carry its name, and this is what this deck is, it took 5 years to create, and as you might imagine, the packaging comes in their regular super high-quality standard
What I love the most about it is the watercolor artwork, is just so magical and dream-like, I cannot put these cards down, I jut love starring at the beautiful illustrations in those wonderful colorful, watercolors illustrations, they look so beautiful in a spread and they connect so well with each other.
I was surprised to find myself to trapped by the concept of the deck, the book, although not in color, does have an incredible depth to it and explains how each of the mayor arcana came to be, their background histories, and who they were, painting a beautiful medieval history of Britain and wales that I was not expecting to be so involved in, I am spending this weekend reading through it and its fabulous tales, imagining that magical world and its folklore, the artist nails this, you get involved in the story.
each card looks like a fairy tale book cover, they are beautiful, colorful, dreamy illustrations that guide your subconscious very delicately trough the messages. 10 out of 10!
