There was a time in my distant past when I would have bought this deck in a heartbeat. I was enthralled with all things Camelot and the Arthurian legend, having read Morte d’Arthur, Once and Future King and others in an English class. That was also about the time that Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave graced the screen as Arthur and Guinevere. But now it feels like another lifetime; I’m culling decks not buying, so I’ll leave this deck for others to enjoy. I will be interested to hear, Sadhana, if and how you end up reading (or not) with this deck. Is it necessary do you think to master all of the stories to be able to read with the deck? Many thanks as always for the walk-through. Love, Donna ETA: I suddenly remembered a more recent (2018 per Amazon) book I read as a Kindle deal of the day: Finding Camlann, a fictional book about an archeologist and a linguist researching the man and the legend.
I just found this hard to obtain deck on Poshmark. ! I bought the large companion guide on Amazon. Love that both decks share painterly style and are as well individual tone from one another. The Llewellyn does have some bluish toned cards in a couple of the suits. I LOVE the borders for each deck. Thank you for a spectacular review!
Do you feel that the Empress is more related to the horned one in this deck than the emperor? I see the Empress as mother (Gaia) and emperor as father or does she fit better with the horned one as they come together to replenish the earth? Please shed some light on this ty 💞 & 🕯️ Blessed Be 😊 if what I said makes any sense lol
I love and own both these decks. Llewellyn is my home deck as it was the first tarot I ever owned. For a long time I debated over Arthurian because the art style is less refined and I wasn’t sure about it, however when I did finally get it I fell in love with it too!! Anna-Marie creates atmospheric artwork that really draws you in and to me, it reads very clearly. Her writing and the way she ties the legends reflects that as well. I have an old version of Llewellyn so I’m wondering how it compares to the new one—card stock and image quality, etc… I would definitely love more articles on these two decks—Whatever topics you want to explore!! Thanks for making this comparison ☺️💗💗💗🃏🃏
So happy to have found your article! I was given the Legend the Arthurian Tarot boxed set as a gift many years ago, and it was one of only two decks I owned for a very long time. I recently ordered the Llewellyn Tarot, not even realizing it was by the same artist! I can’t wait for it to arrive in the mail so I can compare and contrast these two beautiful decks in person, and study the guidebooks.
