Format:Hardcover
This is my first "divination" purchase, and I must say I'm really very pleased with it. The cards themselves are beautifully illustrated and the accompanying book is clear, concise and provides a page or two of lore relevant to each animal.
Those who know their Ogham should pay close attention to the borders of each individual card.
Another thing I liked was the emphasis on positive thinking - some divinatory systems pronounce the worst sort of doom on the luckless individual who draws a reversed card. The Druid Animal Oracle however, deals with indications from reversed cards as challenges, and adds that by keeping factors X,Y and Z in mind, you will find your situation (whatever it may be) easier to deal with.
I've used the Druid Animal Oracle almost daily for three months now, and it still has a 100% 'hit' rate.
I'm really happy with it, and if I was stood next to you now, I'd say "Buy it".

There's no need to know anything about the Druids before you begin with this Oracle deck, unlike most oracle/tarot cards that authors expect you to be fluent in all things involved. This deck and accompanying book are delightful to learn.
The cards, although a little big for my liking are stunning to look at! So much detail has been added to help the learner remember and have thier own insight into the ancient divination.
The book not only gives explainations of cards but varied myths/legends and stories related to each animal. Enjoyable to learn and come back to time again.
This deck is definately on the top 5 of my favourite decks to use in divination for myself and others. Very highly recommended!

This is not the "book" it's a set with card deck, book, and cloth. I don't know if it's a reissue or what, but the cover art is different than advertised, though the ISBNs match. Amazon have a cross-selling promotion suggesting you buy this and a separate card deck together, the implication being that this is just the book. Well it's not, it's the book and card deck, so now we've ended up with the set and a second card deck...

I use these cards as a wonderful teaching aid at the children's centre where I work. They can be used to engage otherwise dispirited and emotionally detatched children in valuable conversations about their strengths, weaknesses and feelings and also encourage them to talk about how they deal with the invariably difficult situations they frequently face in their own lives - all without seeming to pry, over-analyse or alienate them from other members of the group.

I've just purchased these cards and can honestly say that they're one of the most beautiful sets I've seen and I possess quite a number of different sets of cards.
The cards themselves are beautifully illustrated and have a lovely energy with them. The accompanying book is excellent, not only does it contain information regarding the reading of the cards it gives in depth information explaining each animal's place in traditions and folklore.
A beautiful and fascinating set.

A wonderful and enchanting deck of cards. The art work and attention to detail on the cards is beautiful, so much so, half of me just wanted to get some picture frames and have them dotted about the house rather than use them for their proper purpose. This being?
Well, the cards are said to "draw wisdom from the wellspring of ancient Celtic tradition, and from it you can receive healing, strength and guidance for you own life journey".
I have to say I have used them on several occasions, especially on meditating or at times where guidance is needed. Whilst this has not been as much as say, the runes that I use, I have found them useful at the times when I have been 'drawn' to them. Pulling out a card, I have found the description of the animal powers useful in helping me understand what qualities I need to focus on at that time.
Accompanying the deck is a concise booklet that describes each animal keywords. For example: The Otter's keywords being 'joy, play, helpfulness'. Following on from this, the meaning of each card is provided in addition to its' reverse meaning. The booklet also gives us a brief description on how to use the cards and provides the reader with a few spread examples. The booklet IS basic and does provide just the bare minimum details which is my only criticism.
Overall a lovely deck of cards that are magical and enchanting both to look at and to use.

This is a great pack with lovely large sized cards enabling you to really immerse yourself in the imagery and meaning
As one reviewer said the cards are included - I bought this not long ago from Amazon and just bought what they advertise as the book avoiding buying the deck recommended to me at the time - and sure enough the pack sold was a book, cloth and deck - great!
The animals are well chosen and the guidance in the book and ease of reading is spot on - The images are splendid - each one shows us an animal teacher in a natural landscape along with their ancient connections or symbols - I got fine results from using them first time and I have always had good guidance - recommended

Nice for Collectors, but too cheaply made to actually use...
One of several Decks I have purchased recently to find that several of the Cards are bent/creased - even though they came sealed from the factory. Read more

Love the whole package!
Wasn't sure what exactly came with these cards, until I read some one else's review. There is a hard cover book, the cards, and a cloth that all comes together. Read more
