In the section on spreads, the Celtic Cross is presented, along with two separate readings that are left to the reader to interpret along the lines of key questions that Donaldson presents.

Donaldson has done something quite interesting with the three card spread - he has presented several different possible questions dealing with different life situations relationship, home, career, life path, children's education and life path.

There is also the beginning of a work sheet that show the reader how to bring the cards together in story form. The cards themselves are on good quality, glossy card stock. A light blue and white dragon is placed in each of the four corners of the inset - the four dragon tails are interwoven in the center. Behind the dragons there is a diamond-like schematic outlined in fine gold lines. The cards read the same upright and reversed, so there would be no way to tell which position the cards were in before they were turned over.

The majors are a combination of dragons and traditional symbols. On either side of the title is placed a glyph of the astrological sign associated with each card. The only title change is that the Hanged Man becomes the Hanging Dragon. The pips are not illustrated in the traditional manner - they contain a dragon "guide" and the symbols representing their respective suits.

On either side of the title are glyphs representing the element of the respective suit. Some of the cards in this deck are fairly true to traditional Tarot, and some are very different. The traditional cards for me were the Tower, which is represented by a Tower, lightening, water and fire; the Moon, which shows a full moon in a night sky, overlooking two pillars - one on either side of a flowing stream, with a dragon between them; Justice, which shows a dragon head between the two pillars of justice, holding a set of scales in his mouth over a globe of the world and the Wheel of Fortune, which is depicted as a wheel with twelve spokes, each containing a glyph of one of the signs of the zodiac.

Perhaps the most traditional card is the Three of Swords, which is seen as three swords piercing a heart. A card that I found beyond traditional, but very well done, was the Sun. Here we see dragon wings surrounding a lion face, around which are placed glyphs of the twelve signs of the zodiac, with flames surrounding them.

Strength also falls into the "same but different" category. The top of the card shows a night sky, the bottom of the card shows green hills in daylight. The middle of the card shows a lion and a dragon on either side of a caduceus, which has fiery flames at its top. It appears that the lion and the dragon are having a wonderful time playing together! Donaldson ends the book with a section on dragon myths from around the world - ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, North America and Mexico, China, Japan and the West.

The Dragon Tarot opens up the imagination, just as the author intended it to. While not for all people, and definitely not for beginners, I found it interesting and believe that it has a place in the Tarot world. When I first became interested in reading the tarot, the one thing that I had a problem with was finding a deck that suited my feelings and represented ME. I did a lot of research, and most suggested that the best decks to start with were either the Rider-Waite or Robin Wood.

So I took a look at each of them, and I saw why they were highly suggested, but the pictures didn't seem to mean anything to me. That's when I decided to let my real interests do the talking. Then one day I stumbled upon the Dragon deck, and I felt like my prayers had been answered! The artwork and symbolism, combined with the rich history, myth, and mystique that surrounds dragons in general, turned out to be just what the doctor ordered.

The use of many rich colors was something that I felt, at that point in time, many other decks didn't seem to have although now I know otherwise. But, my absolute favorite part about this deck are the Major Arcana. They were and still are like nothing I had ever seen before. The capture all the symbolism of traditional tarot decks, but they also contain a draconic twist that is sometimes a bit funny in particular, the Hanging Dragon card!

We have given the keys through which many of the mystical secrets of Life may be realized. We have approached the symbol of the Dragon not as an adversary to humankind, but rather as a challenge for us to discover our own boundaries, and think about going beyond them. In the outline of Dragonland, you will enter a world which, as it was experienced, we could almost see and feel with our physical senses.

Perhaps somewhere in the mists of time it describes a place not too different from where we as a race of beings do come from. Dragonland may be experienced on many levels. As a flight of fantasy, a world where we may find relief from the pressures of our everyday lives. Fantasy beautiful gypsy girl.
