"Le Grand Oracle Celtique D'alan Borvo"
Grimaud / France / January 1981 - First Release
This set went out of print many years ago, subsequently, the cards were released on their own as a standard deck without the board in the late 1980's - This is one of the original sets which were released in limited numbers. This is an ideal set for both enthusiasts and collectors.
Included:
This vintage box set, comprises a complete deck of 72 tarot cards including instruction booklet in both English and French, a special tarot layout board in yellow and green illustrated with a large Celtic bird, which fits together rather like a large jigsaw.
The deck of cards in this set are truly beautiful and very unique, comprising the unusual figure of 72 tarot cards in all, based on a triadic principle and numerology, i.e. 18 major arcana and 54 minor arcana, with 3 minor arcana suits, ermine, thistle and clover, the major arcana includes many figures from Celtic and druidic lore and mythology. The Author Alan Borvo, is a Celtic enthusiast who studied the symbols contained in ancient Celtic manuscripts, as well as various art forms given to us by the Celts, both past and present, using these as the inspiration for the designs in this unusual deck.
Although this set is over 25 years old, the condition of the contents are truly excellent, you will be hard pushed to find a better example.
