Biographical note
John Matthews has been studying the Celtic tradition for over 30 years. He presents seminars and workshops all over the world and, with his wife Caitlín, has written over 60 books, including Celtic Totem Animals and the Grail Tarot. Cilla Conway is a professional Tarot counselor, writer, and artist with a particular interest in archetypes and mythology. She is the creator of The Intuitive Tarot.Whether you are a connoisseur of such things or not this is a superbly illustrated box of beauty. It is wonderfully well observed and is a testament to the glories of the Empire that as Byzantium. Cilla Conways astute eye is evenly matched to the writing of John Matthews. The whole set is iconographic and revels in the testimony to an age long gone. Very recommended. -- David Elkington
