5.0 out of 5 stars A grand deck that packs a punch on the senses....., October 3, 2006

I got this book and cards a few weeks ago. I have Tree Magick by the same author and loved it...so I thought this one looked just as enchanting!

I am/was really happy with this oracle. The cards are smaller than the Tree Magick cards (wish they were a tad bigger) but the smaller size makes them more portable. They are a long rectangle shape...so you read and look at them horizontally. The cards also have a little message on each of them.

The artwork is really beautiful and warm. It makes you feel good just looking through the deck. A cosmic hug. They are divided into 4 suits...Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter, with 13 cards in each suit.

The book goes into some detail on the history of faeries, their lore....literary and otherwise. There are 12 spreads to choose from. I have done a few and the results have been wonderful. The meanings for all the cards go into more depth in the book also. Very detailed. And again these cards might seem light or fluffy to some...but the artwork/imagery and the meanings are more complex and deeper if you just look and learn from them.

I see myself using this enchanted, magical oracle again and again...it puts me in a wonderous mood and is very accurate! If you love faeries and you love oracles....treat youself to this adorable and deep deck of magic.

The artwork is really beautiful. The cards are long and narrow so they are impossible to shuffle in the normal way - for me at least. Instead I spread them on a flat surface and mix them up that way. All the faerie lore is great fun to read. There are a number of different readings listed in the book, some based on the traditional tarot spreads. I've used them several times and found them easy to work with and understand, and reasonably accurate. I also used them as a daily meditation (pull one card to meditate on) and enjoyed them for that use as well. Definately a lighter set of cards in tone, soft and rather fun. I think they'd be terrific if you were in a down mood to bring you up with a touch of wisdom. I don't think I'd use them to replace the tarot, or as my only deck, but I enjoy them as a nice pick-me-up now and then.
