The name Llewellyn has meant magic to readers for well over a century. The story begins in 1901, when the Welsh-born astrologer Llewellyn George (1876–1954) founded the Llewellyn Publishing Company in Portland, Oregon, together with the Portland School of Astrology. In those early years the house concentrated exclusively on astrology, publishing books and annuals that made it the leading astrology publisher in the United States — most famously Llewellyn's Moon Sign Book, which George himself edited for decades. After his death in 1954 the company passed through new hands before being bought in 1960 by George's relative Carl L. Weschcke, who moved it to St. Paul, Minnesota, renamed it Llewellyn Publications, and widened its list to embrace the occult, witchcraft, and Wicca. Today Llewellyn Worldwide, headquartered in Woodbury, Minnesota, is one of the largest publishers of tarot decks and spiritual books on the planet.
That Welsh heritage is the beating heart of this page's subject. Llewellyn George emigrated from Wales to America, and his homeland's myths never left the house. In 2006, to honor those roots, Llewellyn published the deck that bears its name: the Llewellyn Tarot, a tribute to the mythology and landscape of Wales that has since become a modern classic.
The Llewellyn Tarot was created by Canadian artist and author Anna-Marie Ferguson and released in 2006 as a boxed set of 78 cards with a 264-page companion book (ISBN 978-0-7387-0299-5). Ferguson was already celebrated for her earlier Legend: The Arthurian Tarot and for illustrating a deluxe edition of Le Morte d'Arthur, and she poured five years of study and painting into the Llewellyn deck. Every major arcana card depicts a figure or scene drawn from Welsh mythology and the Mabinogion, painted in luminous watercolor that captures the mist, rain, and magic of the Welsh landscape. The minor arcana stay close to traditional Rider-Waite imagery, showing everyday life in fully illustrated scenes. The card backs carry the Red Dragon of Wales, and the cards are slightly larger than standard, printed on glossy stock that collectors love.
The deck has earned genuine acclaim: The American Tarot Association called it stunning, reviewers have praised how naturally the Welsh tales fit the tarot framework, and many readers keep it in rotation for client work. It also includes two exclusive spreads — The Red Dragon, designed to help you overcome an obstacle, and Llew's Spread, created to cast light on a situation or problem. If you would like to explore either spread with a live reader, our advisors on Free Psychic Reading are ready to guide you through it card by card.
What makes the Llewellyn Tarot so special is that each of the 22 major arcana cards is tied to a specific figure or tale from Welsh tradition. Knowing the story behind the card deepens every reading:
Readers on Free Psychic Reading can pull these cards for you and explain the mythic story behind each one — turning a simple tarot session into a journey through the oldest stories of the Celtic world.
If you already read tarot, the Llewellyn deck will feel like home. It follows the Rider-Waite structure exactly: 78 cards, the same major arcana order, the same suits of Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles, the same court cards, and the traditional Strength-8 / Justice-11 numbering. The difference is imagery: where the Rider-Waite deck uses universal symbolic scenes, the Llewellyn Tarot replaces them with Welsh mythological figures and landscapes, and renames a handful of majors — The High Priestess becomes The Priestess, The Devil becomes The Horned One, and The World becomes The Universe.
The gap to the Thoth deck is far wider. Thoth, designed by Aleister Crowley and painted by Lady Frieda Harris, renames many cards (Magus, Adjustment, Lust, Art, Aeon), swaps Pentacles for Disks, uses Knight-Queen-Prince-Princess courts, and layers dense Hermetic Qabalah and astrology into abstract art. It rewards years of occult study. The Llewellyn Tarot, by contrast, tells stories you can feel your way into — which makes it one of the most intuitive and beginner-friendly mythic decks ever published, and a favorite for psychic and spiritual work.
The Llewellyn Tarot shines brightest when the question matches its mythic depth:

The Llewellyn Tarot is a 78-card deck created by artist Anna-Marie Ferguson and published by Llewellyn Worldwide in 2006. Its major arcana depicts figures from Welsh mythology and the Mabinogion, such as Gwion Bach, Ceridwen, and Bran the Blessed.
It keeps the same 78-card structure, suits, and card meanings as the Rider-Waite system, but replaces the imagery with Welsh mythological figures and landscapes. A few majors are renamed: The Priestess, The Horned One, and The Universe.
Yes. Because it follows the traditional Rider-Waite structure and meanings, beginners can read with it easily, and the companion book retells the myth behind every major arcana card. A live advisor on Free Psychic Reading can also walk you through each card.
