This fascinating deck will keep Froud fans delighted for hours. Once seekers are ready to actually start communicating with faeries they will also be delighted with Macbeth's whimsical, yet highly informative guidebook. She is quick to sympathise with the self-consciousness that comes with talking to faeries, yet she also has the ability to jolly people out of their embarrassment. Macbeth is at her wisest when discussing how to ask for guidance and interpret specific layouts of oracle cards. But if you find yourself succumbing to giggles in the midst of all this faery woo-woo, take heart. Writes Macbeth, "Giggles are the grace notes of faery music." --Gail Hudson, Amazon.com
Using the enchanted art of Brian Froud as your guide, enter into the wise and wonderful world of the faeries. The Faeries' Oracle calls on sylphs, pans, gnomes -- and, of course, faeries -- to lead you on a delightful journey of adventure, discovery, and enlightenment that will illuminate the future and heal the heart and soul. This beautifully designed divination set contains everything you will need to explore this mysterious realm, including:
A complete deck of 66 radiant cards by Brian Froud featuring goblins, moon dancers, pixies, boggarts, and other faery folk we first met in Good Faeries/Bad Faeries208-page illustrated book with text by Jessica Macbeth, which will show you how to read the cards of The Faeries' Oracle, with particular instruction on personally connecting to and communicating with the faeries

This Isn't Tinkerbell!,
By
This review is from: The Faeries' Oracle (Hardcover)
I became interested in this deck after doing a research assignment into faeries as part of my tradition study. While I'd been taught that faeries weren't your Tinkerbell variety, this deck brought to light many other aspects that I had never experienced.This isn't a deck to take lightly. These faeries will make their way into your life in ways you never expected. I found that once I started working with these cards I couldn't get them out of my mind. One day I found myself promising the Fee Lion that I would get the dishes done as soon as I finished watching a television show! The artwork on these cards is detailed when appropriate, while some of the work is very abstract. Froud has really done a wonderful job. Jessica Macbeth displays a gift for communcating with the faeries and making their sometimes very complex natures easy to understand for someone just starting out. What I really enjoyed was how she guided you through learning how to interept the cards on your own, and encourages you not to rely only on her writings. This is a deck for someone who is willing to get involved, and to think about what they're seeing/learning and finding the answer within rather than in a book.

My favorite deck,
By Yumeni (Plymouth, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Faeries' Oracle (Hardcover)
The only deck that has opened my mind and heart to intuitive guidance. The deck is alive, with vibrant and real faery energy radiating from every card! The artwork is a feast for the etheric senses, with a multitude of beings per card flaunting many different symbols. It truly gets you in touch with faery energy. After using it for a while, I see every individual faery as an old friend, not just a card, and feel the tension and interaction between them (putting down more than 3 cards starts to feel awfully crowded, whereas I have no problems doing layouts with 20 cards using standard tarot). Amazing, amazing deck. I swear I can sometimes see the pictures move. I'm not crazy, really!

Not your typical faery card deck,
By
This review is from: The Faeries' Oracle (Hardcover)
I have very little attraction to faery decks but this one I can't seem to part with. It is a beautiful,and sometimes, haunting deck. I keep it mainly for personal use and do not read for others with it. The images are gorgeous and curious-looking, if one is not familiar with the faeries in all their manifestations. The book is great--hardback and very durable--and filled with information about the cards and faeries that is easy to understand. It is a beautiful deck to use or just to add to the collectors shelf.
