Are dragons real? Since they do not live on the physical plane, scientists cannot trap and dissect them. Yet magicians and pyschics who have explored the astral realms know firsthand that dragons do indeed exist, and that they make very powerful co-magicians. Dragons tap into deeper currents of elemental energies than humans. Becuase of their ancient wisdom, dragons are valuable contacts to call upon when performing any type of divination, such as the laying out of tarot cards. Tarot decks and other divination tools seem to fascinate them. The Celtic Dragon is the first deck to use the potent energies of dragons for divination, magickal spell working, and meditation. Ancient mapmakers noted every unknown territory with the phrase "here be dragons." Both tarot an dmagick have many uncharted areas. Not only will you discover dragons waiting there, but you will also find them to be extremely helpful when you give them the chance. Kit includes 78 full-color cards, 216 pages illustrated paperback.
