Celtic Elemental Tarot

      

By Ayn Cates Sullivan, M.F.A., Ph.D, and Illustrated by Belle Crow duCray

Discover a tarot experience that bridges ancient Celtic mythology with the timeless symbols of the tarot. In The Celtic Elemental Tarot (Findhorn Press, January 2025), author Ayn Cates Sullivan draws on decades of scholarship in Arthurian legend, Celtic mysticism, and Hermetic philosophy to create a deck that awakens intuitive awareness and spiritual depth. The deck is grounded in her original philosophy, Imaginosophy, which Sullivan describes as the art of living and dreaming in other worlds. Sullivan invites readers into a landscape alive with elemental power and mythic archetypes. The Major Arcana are uniquely divided into Allies, Challenges, Virtues, and Cosmic Forces, each offering upright and reversed keywords for quick insight. The Minor Arcana correspond to the four elements: Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. The Court Cards bring beloved figures of Grail lore to life, including King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and Galahad. The book also provides the reader with original spreads, detailed card interpretations, grail-inspired reflection questions and tree lore, animal totems, gemstones and flower essences for each suit. The Celtic Elemental Tarot opens the portals of the imagination, self-discovery, and sacred connection.  About the Creators: Ayn Cates Sullivan, M.F.A., Ph.D., has spent four decades exploring and writing about Arthurian and Celtic mythology.
