Featuring the legendary Sword of Nuada on the Ace of Spades and a cheeky nod to the Nine Cauldrons on the back, this Bicycle deck is a whimsical trip through early Irish mythology. Each face card sports an iconic figure from the old tales, complete with their personal symbols (because why not?). The bold red design on the back is a shout-out to the otherworldly cauldrons, flaunting eight of them while hinting at a ninth with a spirally flourish (subtle, innit?). These cauldrons are the ultimate Celtic multitaskers, representing authority, poetry, wealth, and the sort of social glue that keeps a gathering from turning into a rowdy pub brawl. Every detail is hand-drawn, inspired by medieval Irish literature and Celtic traditions – from the intricate headpiece of Earnmbás to the knotwork gracing Lugh's visage.
Forget the boring old suits; this deck transforms them into the magical artefacts of the Tuatha Dé Danann: clubs become spears, spades morph into swords, diamonds turn into stones, and hearts become cauldrons – all pilfered from the enchanted cities of the North. And don’t forget, this beauty is part of a trio alongside the Bicycle Celtic Asymmetrical Deck and the Bicycle Celtic Gaelic Deck.
