Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

In The Faerie's Oracle author and illustrator Brian Froud offers believers a chance to consult with the magical wee folks. Using a deck of 66 "oracle cards" believers conduct readings as if interpreting Tarot cards. Each of the cards feature Froud's signature faery pictures. Some of the cards have specific faeries, such as the naked leaping "Spirit Lancer"--a feminine card that represents "self-expression, freedom and exploration", according to the accompanying text written by Jessica Macbeth. Others are more abstract, such as the "Guardian of the Gate" a blue tinted card with splaying silver-white streaks that look like tendrils of faery hair.

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

1.0 out of 5 stars The artwork is HIDEOUS!, Sep 11 2002
By A Customer
I bought this deck for my young cousin, who loves fairies. Many of these cards were so disturbing, that I couldn't even show them to her. When I showed it to her grandma, she said, "WHERE'S THE FAIRIES?"
We aren't fairie experts or anything, and we never looked at the book, so there may be much more to it. We just couldn't get over the ugly artwork on most of the cards. These cards were not shown in the preview.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much more than art, Jul 8 2004
By "pixieitch" (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
I am a fan of Froud's work. But more than that, i am a believer in the Fae, and that is what i am able to communicate with through these cards.
the artwork is beautiful, but thats not the reason i love them so much. Its because they work better than any other oracle or tarot deck i have ever used.
The love and faith put into the artwork really brings the connection between the 2 worlds closer together and i feel, thats how they work better than some other decks.
A must for any froud fan, but also a must for anyone who truly believes in faeries and needs help communicating wit them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical faery card deck, Mar 27 2004
By Kelli Riffle "kelliko70" (Princeton, WV, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
