Summary: I'm a believer now!
Review: I had never owned a Tarot deck before. And I had never really examined Brian Froud's work closely before I bought this Oracle either. I was new to all of this. But I was extremely anxious to receive it. And when I did, it totally blew me away.The book was extremely well written. It made me feel so much more welcomed. It made me feel so much more connected to the faeries. I actually bonded with the cards immediately. The cards themselves are drawn with such emotion, that you cannot help but feel a personal bond with them. I think this deck was the perfect choice for me. It drew me in, and now I'm learning to be a better person, with the help of the faeries, Brian & Jesa! I just wanted to thank all of them for giving me such a great gift! The price is not even a question, because this deck is worth so much more!

Summary: The Faeries are Here!
Review: This Oracle is awesome! The cards, are beautifully created with rich and diverse symbolism that is actually quite contrary in some cases. I think that his connection to the Fae pervades through every single piece of art he creates and this deck is no exception. The book written by Jessica MacBeth provides great direction for how to connect with the world of Faery and guides the reader but lets them go at the same time. I discovered my connection to the world of Faeries through this deck and for that I am truly grateful and thankful. For those with a serious interest in seeing the world of the Sidhe, the Tuatha de Danaan, the Shining Ones, I highly recommend this Oracle!

Summary: Not your typical faery card deck
Review: 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.

Summary: Excellent!!!
Review: I received my Faerie's Oracle in the mail a few days ago, and I can't put the cards or the book down! The art on the cards are so beautiful, and I feel such a strong connection to them. The book is a very, very helpful guide. It recommends creating your own intuitive interpretation of the cards before you read the interpretation in the book. This oracle has so much more to offer than a tarot deck, there are so much more possibilities. The card #0 is blank - you draw the picture yourself. This is such a personal deck, one I will cherish forever. Thanks Brian & Jessica! ...

Summary: Beautiful Artwork, and a different FUN kind of oracle
Review: If, like me, you're a fan of Froud's work, then this is an absolute must-have. I've not been *wildly* impressed by the slightly silly direction some of his recent work has taken - LADY COTTINGTON, and STRANGE SMELLS, for example - but I do love these weird quirky little creatures he draws. If you like them too, well, now there's a deck of 66 of them (65, with a blank card so you can include your own fairy guide). Some of the cards are abstract, but the vast majority are classic Froud. Various styles of the artist's work are represented, ranging from the almost monochrome pencil sketches to his trademark pics that seem to be bursting at the seams with fairies. You'll find some favourites in the illustrations ('The Fairy who was kissed by the Pixies' is one of mine) and other old friends from 'Good Fairies, Bad Fairies.' As for the divination side of things, the deck is accompanied by a beautifully produced hardback book (200 pages) written by Jessica Macbeth (Author of books on meditation MOON OVER WATER and SUN OVER MOUNTAIN). It covers topics such as making faerie contacts, how the deck was created, and suggested methods of reading the cards, together with informative (and fun) discussions of the individual illustrations. Unlike COTTINGTON and SMELLS, this is a serious book - er, as 'serious' as anything concerning faerie can be, that is... To quote from the first section of the book: "First take a good look at your attitude. Are you really serious about this? Do you believe you will need to work hard with the cards? "If so, please, don't be like that . As much as you can, let yourself approach the cards and the faeries with a light and playful heart." Even if you have no interest in divination, I defy you not to enjoy reading the book. And I had a friend of mine, the fairy mage Muzobobio look over the text, and he jumped up and down three times, spun round, and put his hands in the air. This is his way of saying 'Right on the money!' I recommend this package with no reservations. Even if you feel it's not for you, it's hard to think of a better gift for a Froud fan, for someone who's into divination, or for any lover of faeries!

Summary: My favorite deck
Review: 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!

Summary: Neutral really
Review: i have had this deck for a while now. it's not THAT bad, but the cards are just trying so hard to be art. if you can't get past the fact that it's Brian Froud, you'll never be able to use the actual oracle. read the book, keeps the journal, it really does help. But ignore what the book says the cards mean. they'll only really be able to help you if you have a good personal relationship with the little ones yourself.

Summary: They found me
Review: I was wandering around a bookstore when I heard voices calling out to me. They kept saying, "Find us!" over and over; always followed with giggles. I searched through each aisle following the voices and when I got to the New Age section I knew the voices were coming from the other end. I continued down the isle and had never heard of "The Faeries Oracle" but I knew that's where the voices were coming from. I picked up the case and heard a tiny "Thank you" and went striaght to the check out counter. I've always been connected to the Faeries and have great fun with them on a daily basis. That's not to say they don't hide my keys and many other small items but I still enjoy them none-the-less. "The Faeries Oracle" is a must have for all who enjoy the company of the Faeries. . . or would like to enjoy them.

Summary: This Isn't Tinkerbell!
Review: 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.
