This extremely popular deck draws on both Druidry and Wicca, however, you don't need to follow either of these paths to use it. Nature features prominently in its beautiful images, which were painted in tempera (using egg yolk and ground minerals) to create scenes of remarkable depth and radiance. Equal attention has been paid to the accompanying 192-page book, which not only explains each card in detail but also gives information on how the deck has been structured as a whole to tie in with the seasons and the wheel of the year. Even without the book, however, the images are full of meaning and lend themselves well to both traditional and intuitive interpretation.
