One of the most beautiful and luxurious hand-drawn playing card decks ever created. These Celtic Playing Cards feature iconic images celebrating the rich Celtic tradition of Gods, Goddesses, and heroes. Play your favorite card games with the characters from Irish myth and legend such as the Tuatha de Daanan, Cü Chulainn, the Morrigan and more.
Every element of the cards' iconography is drawn from medieval Irish literature and classical Celtic traditions, from the style of decoration on Earnmbás' headpiece to the knot work around Lugh.
The traditional suits have been transformed into the four magic items of the Tuatha Dé Danann: Club, Spade, Diamond and Heart corresponding to the magical spear, sword, stone and cauldron that the Irish faeries brought from the magical cities of the North.
Each face card represents important figures from the Second Battle of Magh Tuireadh, the Book of Invasions, Colloquy of the Ancients, and other medieval legends.
The cards, adorned with easily recognizable and familiar playing card symbols, are in every way, infused with the stories of the ancient Celts.
