The DruidCraft Tarot by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm, illustrated by Will Worthington — a richly painted 78-card deck that weaves together the traditions of Wicca and Druidry within a Rider-Waite-Smith framework. Lush woodland landscapes, seasonal sabbat imagery, and Celtic archetypes replace the standard medieval iconography, making this a natural choice for pagans, nature practitioners, and spiritual explorers who feel called to the Celtic path. Includes an 80-page booklet.

Druidry and Wicca: Two Paths, One Deck
The DruidCraft Tarot does something no other major tarot deck achieves: it authentically synthesizes Druidry and Wicca as two distinct Western pagan paths with equal weight, rather than treating one as a flavor of the other. Philip Carr-Gomm was the Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD) for nearly thirty years, one of the largest international druid organizations. That institutional and initiatory authority means this deck carries genuine druidic lineage, not a surface aesthetic of standing stones and oak trees. The Major Arcana are structured around the Three Septenaries, which mirror the Three Degrees of Initiation in both Druidry and Wicca, making the deck a working initiatory map as well as a reading tool.
Several Major Arcana are renamed to reflect the druidic path. The Empress becomes The Lady, The Emperor becomes The Lord, Temperance becomes The Fferyllt (the Druid Alchemist), and The Devil becomes Cernunnos. These changes are not cosmetic renames; they shift the theological frame of the entire deck. The Wiccan Goddess-God polarity is expressed through The Lady and The Lord, while Cernunnos as Key 15 reframes the shadow principle as the wild god of nature rather than a Christian adversary figure.
Will Worthington's Painted Art and the Natural World
Will Worthington painted the 78 cards in egg tempera using natural materials, a deliberate choice that places this deck at the opposite end of the digital illustration spectrum. The scenes are set in Celtic Britain, with historically researched costumes, tools, and landscapes. Worthington is also the artist behind the Druid Animal Oracle and the Green Man Tree Oracle, both beloved in druidic circles, so the imagery here carries continuity across a body of work rooted in the same tradition. The cards are larger than standard tarot, which showcases the richness of the painted detail, and the color palette runs warm, earthy, and saturated rather than the cooler, grayer tones of some Celtic-themed decks.
This is not a Rider-Waite clone with Celtic window dressing. While the deck follows RWS structural tradition (78 cards, four suits, fully illustrated pips), the imagery has been thoughtfully redesigned for the druidic-wiccan path and the creators are active practitioners within the tradition they are depicting. The suits are standard Swords, Wands, Pentacles, and Cups, with Princess, Prince, Queen, and King court cards, making it fully compatible with standard tarot study resources.
How to Use the DruidCraft Tarot
How to begin working with the DruidCraft Tarot as a Wiccan or Druid practitioner.
-
Study the Major Arcana Renames First
Before your first reading, spend time alone with the deck. Lay out the 22 Major Arcana and study Will Worthington's painted scenes. The renamed cards like The Lady, The Lord, and The Fferyllt reveal the Druid path this deck walks.
-
Adapt Your Shuffling for the Larger Card Size
Shuffle slowly and deliberately. The DruidCraft cards are larger than standard tarot, so overhand shuffling works better than riffle. Use each session to practice reading the seasonal and natural imagery, not just the traditional RWS meanings.
-
Use the Three Septenaries for Deeper Work
Pair the deck with the included 80-page booklet for the Carr-Gomms' own interpretations. For deeper study, note how the Three Septenaries of the Major Arcana mirror the Three Degrees of Initiation in both Druidry and Wicca traditions.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stocked the DruidCraft because customers working on a Druidic or combined Druid-Wicca path need a deck that reflects their actual practice, not a generic Celtic design. The Carr-Gomms are credentialed insiders in the OBOD tradition, and that makes a meaningful difference to how the deck is constructed. This is the deck I recommend when someone asks for something beyond the standard Rider-Waite for nature-based pagan practice.
