For the numbered cards, you could follow he pattern used for regular playing cards. Here is how one suit (spades) is handled:

ace - an t-aon spéireata
king - an rí spéireata
queen - an bhanríon spéireata
jack - an laoch spéireata
10 - an deich spéireata
9 - an naoi spéireata
8 - an t-ocht spéireata
7 - an seacht spéireata
6 - an sé spéireata
5 - an cúig spéireata
4 - an ceathair spéireata
3 - an trí spéireata
2 - an dó spéireata

So, for example, the one of wands could be:
an t-aon slata

Good catch. I never noticed the error (I got the names from a friend in Ireland).

Oh nice! And I did search for it, but never find this. Well, it's great to see how much you all pretty much came to the same translation than that website! :clap:

The Magician (Druid) - An druí

Is it not spelled draoi?
Or is this some other word?

draoi works, but I also have books spelling it druí. I guess I'll go with draoi, most of my Druidry books call it that way anyway. Thanks!

What I will say is that this is the Irish word for magician as well as for druid, so you fortunately do not have to worry about making a choice between the two there!

HI guys
Thank you, Labhráis, for the grammatical corrections (GRMA). It's essential to exercise caution when using grammatical terms, as precision is key. Magic 8 Ball
