The 'Wheel of the Year', the relatively modern amalgamation of the seasonal festivals of the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Norse peoples, features eight different festivals taking place roughly twice every season, most importantly during the solstices and the mid-points between them.

Between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice is where Beltane is celebrated, the beginning of the sun's final waxing cycle towards its highest point in late June. With crops and plants ripening and nature being fully awake, Beltaine was celebrated - and is still celebrated today throughout parts of Ireland and the rest of the world - as a festival of fertility, creative energy and fruitfulness.

The 'Wheel of the Year', the relatively modern amalgamation of the seasonal festivals of the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Norse peoples, features eight different festivals taking place roughly twice every season, most importantly during the solstices and the mid-points between them.

Lughnasadh (pronounced 'LOO-nuh-suhd') was a festival of particular importance to the Celts but overwhelmingly for those in Ireland where it effectively celebrates the founding of the country, and it is still celebrated in many forms today. It takes place around the time of the grain harvest, grain being a staple food for the Celtic people, and therefore coincides with the height of summer.

Olympia is an original set of American playing cards designed by Steve Minty and produced by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC). The deck is inspired by the fascinating stories of Greek Gods and their deeds. Olympia blends the classical beauty of Greek Sculptures with the elegant and sleek lines of modern design.

I spent countless hours as a child devouring their stories about love, betrayal, death, vengeance and the heroic deeds within Greek Mythology. I couldn't help but be fascinated by the these stories and it is something that I am very proud of being exposed to.

My goal when creating the Olympia Deck was to capture the beauty of Greek sculptures in a new medium of playing cards while simultaneously updating it with a graphic twist. I aim to make this deck worthwhile enough to be given as an offering to the altars of the Gods.  

Welcome to ancient Egypt, the land of pharaohs, intellectual progress, architectural wonders and ever-shifting sands. But despite the great influence the pharaohs had, there was an even bigger authority. It was the ancient gods, worshipped by Egyptians that presided over Egypt, and the whole land was subject to their capricious moods. The Gods of Egypt deck is inviting you into their civilization, where you'll encounter ancient symbols and decipher hieroglyphs, all the while being watched by the mighty Gods of Egypt.
