Christmas Celebration
1 of 1 found this helpful I just has the great fortune to see them in concert, and they are amazing. Their renditions of Christmas songs bring new life to carols and winter songs that have been lifelessly covered so many times that they have become all but tired and stale. They infuse modern compositions with medieval instruments (and some modern ones--electric woodwinds, anyone?) and turn out incredible new sounds to these songs. Favorites include "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," both the traditional version played on strings and the modern version that gets more radio play; "Deck the Halls"; a gorgeously-rendered verion of "Greensleeves"; and "Fum, Fum, Fum," the only recording I've ever heard of this Catalan carol, that makes you want to get up and dance.
If you think you've heard every Christmas song too many times, give this CD a listen, and your interest in holiday music will revitalize.

An Enchanting Tarot Deck
“Forest of Enchantment” is a forest- and fairytale-themed deck full of trees, flowers, humans, gnomes, fairies, elves, dryads, foxes, owls, crows, deer, bears, rabbits, and badgers. It contains many allusions to fairy tales and legends—I found Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and Rose Red, The Frog Prince, the Black Knight, Taliesin, Herne the Hunter, and Merlin (or is it Luke Skywalker? Read the book to find out!). And that was just on the first flip-through! As this is a forest-themed deck, expect a lot of green and brown.
The accompanying 228-page book gives a complete analysis of each card but encourages you to come up with your own interpretations. Opposite each description is a full-page version of each card, enabling you to see more detail. There are pages in the back for you to add your own thoughts. Only three Majors retain their names—Lovers, Strength, and Hermit—but all align to the Rider-Waite system. For example, the High Priestess is the Wisewoman, Hierophant is Oldest One, Justice is Huntsman, Temperance is Forge, Tower is Folly, and the Moon is Moonlight. The suits are now Challenges (Swords), Visions (Cups), Boons (Pentacles), and Spells (Wands). The court cards are Child, Seeker, Weaver, and Keeper, and are presented as a progression, not a hierarchy. I also like the inclusion of the White Hart (Fool) on the Wide World (World) card, showing the journey through the Arcana. The meanings are based on the Rider-Waite system, but with some variety.
The cardstock is a bit flimsy, so you’ll have to take care with them. The cards and book come in a sturdy box (a typical Llewellyn if you’re familiar with them) with a cut-out in the center for the cards, so you’ll need a bag if you want to carry the cards separately. The deck is borderless; the back features two owls and is reversible.
I really enjoy this deck, with its forest-themed imagery, reimagined suits and Majors, symbolism, and accompanying book. I only wish the cardstock were stronger. Favorite cards of mine include Strength, Black Shuck (Death), Sunlight, Ace of Visions, Six of Boons, Eight of Challenges, Nine of Challenges, Keeper of Spells, and the Weavers.
