5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Oracle by Lucy Cavendish, August 12, 2009

Once upon a time they say.....opens the Faery Oracle Guidebook. A beautiful faery on the cover beckons you to come and join her in FaeryLand. Inside, you will find introductory information on Faeires, suggestions on how to work with faeires, questions to ask of them and various layouts to read the Oracle's messages. The 180 page book describes each card adding divinatory and reversal meanings along with information on the author and artist.

The Oracle deck consists of 47 cards beautifully rendered by Selina Fenech. Mysteriously 2 cards are in sepia tones while the other 4x6 cards are in color. Each card has a title, such as "Cry for Nature" and a subtitle like, "Mourning for something sacred which seems lost." Both male and female faeries are represented. The backs are deeper colors of brown and sepia with an outline of the Flower of Life symbol centered with a double 7 pointed star and edged with a golden fringe style border. The card stock is flexible enough for shuffling if your hands fit these cards. If not, they are flexible enough to shuffle from the sides, rather than end to end.

I find the artwork for the Oracle to present a more consistent message than the conglomeration of artists in it's older sibling, Oracle of the DragonFae. While the artwork of the DragonFae is beautiful, the various styles in a reading could be a bit jarring. Using Selina's artwork exclusively has solved this issue, yet I do wonder why some of the cards are sepia. They do not appear to be particularly pensive in nature, nor necessarily introspective.

These are very active cards. They offer accurate and extensive information. The reader is easily connected to the faeries of this deck and the messages of each rendering.

I'm certain this latest Oracle from Lucy Cavendish will become as classic as her other works.

Just beginning to read about Faery's and their history. Somehow I was drawn to this Faery Oracle. When I recieved it I was intrigued and spell bound by the beautiful layout of the cards. I began reading the book and couldn't stop. The book is very detailed and the meanings/interpretation of the cards are very descriptive and very "ACCURATE". There are suggestions/rituals for you to connect with the Faery's but I was not willing to do that at the moment. I believe the rituals described only boost your connection with Faery but in my OPINION not necessary to get answers you are searching for. However, I did say a prayer and invited the Faery's into my life for guidance. After shuffling the cards a bit a card fell out of the deck. My quick reaction was to gather it and place it back in the deck. The card was "Little Boy Blue". Didn't know anything about the card just yet and why it popped out as it did. Anyway, I placed the card aside and continued to shuffle until I was ready to lay a spread. I used the suggested 5 card spread. I honestly was freaked out with the cards that I picked for each position (which describes where you are in life). Every card was reversed and described EXACTLY my life details in terms of blockages, healing and so forth. The book offers reversal meanings and aren't necessarily negative. Just some things the Faery's believe you need to work on to better yourself. What really freaked me out because they were so "ACCURATE" I tested the cards by doing their suggested 3 card spread, Past, Present, Future. I am thinking that while shuffling the first time I didn't notice whether or not if I had the cards upright or reversed. In shuffling the cards for the 3 card spread I purposefully made sure each card was upright. Ok, now this is what blew me away. I laid the first 3 cards down and placed them in their position Past, Present, Future. I turned each card over one by one and again, all 3 were reversed and had mimicked the 5 card spread in terms of my blockages/healing. I said no way something must be wrong. To get clarification of future events you are allowed to pull a 4th card and so on depicting time in months. The card pulled was also reversed. Scratching my head I turned over the rest of the cards one by one but not to lay on my spread for further clarification. All were upright. I freaked out. I put the cards back together and thanked the Faery's for their advice/guidance. I just sat and reflected on what just happened. This is a very "POWERFUL" deck but not for the timid. I "HIGHLY" Recommend this deck for anyone who really wants to get an understanding of their life. It's good for Spiritual, Emotional and Physical well being.
