I think one thing I like about your deck is that, so far, these scenes almost seem like you're there. They seem very magical, and yet very real. The subtle symbolism is very neat.
You're being intuitive, like that wolf looking at you. (It's original in placement, but it adds a lot to the card's feeling). But not just that, you're also very aware of the occult symbols used in the Tarot, and you use the ones you most enjoy that you think most reflect the feelings you have about that card without hesitation. That's something I think is really cool.
Using natural scenery. That's neat, too. Adds to that "otherworld meets this world" feeling.
It's kind of like the Celtic belief that certain areas are sacred, that maybe you're closer to gods or fairies in some places. In essence, your cards are trying to imitate that. That's what Tarot's all about. Getting close to your inner self, your divine. You make a place, with those images, where you can do that.
(Oh, and I do think your numbering is unique. A powerful statement. This truly is going to be a 100% Irish )
