This is a totally awesome deck if you like Vikings or Norse mythology even a little bit. The first 25 cards are based on Elder Furthark runes and the rest of the deck has cards based on Norse mythology and Vikings. Note, though, that the Fenrir card has a humanized version of him, which wasn't exactly how I imagined him, but it doesn't bother me.
The only real downsides are that the deck came in a box much larger than it and a bag wasn't included, so you may have to buy one separately if you wish to carry the deck around with you, because the box is pretty big. The other thing is the cards are somewhat sticky so shuffling can be a little tricky, but I figure that this will be less of a problem as time goes on and the cards "break in" so to speak. However, these are pretty minor issues and do not ruin the 5-star rating for me; I am just pointing them out because I know these are things that would bother some people.
Overall, this is a very interesting oracle deck that I definitely recommend. I haven't done a whole ton of readings yet, but the readings I have done have provided very accurate and relevant advice.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the Norse rune readers

I love this deck! I have had it sitting in my cart for a few weeks and it wasn't untill I was pulled toward a separate set of runes that I decided I was meant to get them together. I'm so glad I did this.
The package was 3 days later then it was supposed to be, but that didn't bother me considering it was due to the carrier and not the seller. Things happen and that's fine with me.
As soon as I opened the box I could feel the energy coming from the cards. I was blown away by the art on each card and in the book. The book is a pretty good size and has both useful and intresting contents. The cards are laminated and have a bit of a shine to them. They are about 5 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide. I love the size and the feel of them. They shuffle nicely and have a good hold.
Along with the book keeping you motivated to read, the art pulls you in and keeps you focused. This deck is a great choice!
