The deck takes us to the Otherworld of the Celts, shrouded in mists and mysteries. Composed mainly of beautiful paintings by the artistic group known as the "Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood", the deck reminds us of the time of King Arthur, with images of warriors, sorcerers, beautiful and mysterious ladies and enchanted islands. Enter this mystical forest and discover the secrets of the trees and the charms of the ancient Celts and Druids.

Ogham: Ogham or Ogam is an Irish alphabet of 20 letters and 5 diphthongs. Its historical origin is uncertain, but it is believed to have arisen before the 4th century AD around the Irish Sea. There are theories that indicate that it was the Druids (Celtic priests) who created the Ogham to send secret and magical messages, yet there is another line of study that suggests that the Ogham was created by Christian communities based on the Latin alphabet. The Ogham script was mainly used as territorial marks and tombs on stone monuments. The Ogham came to be known as the Celtic alphabet of trees, for each letter was associated with a tree and its creator was the god Ogma.
