Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I agree with the previous reviewer!
Review: As a fan of the Frouds, I can honestly say this is a great oracle set. In fact, I like it so much that I got rid of all of my other tarot type sets and play with this set exclusively.

The artwork is stunning, and with the exception of the 'singer' cards, of which I am not particularly fond of (they are the abstract cards mentioned previously), they really resonate with the reader.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest oracle
Review: By far, this is the greatest book on the fae i have ever come upon. The art by Brian froud is trully magickal. Jessica macbeth's text is easy to read and follow. This Oracle has never failed me before. It has the easiest and most effective excercises i have performed to see the faeries and develope a relationship with them.

All of my readings are accurate. The faeries have taught me alot, that there is no future or 'fate', and that it is always up to us to make our own changes in our own lives.

You must see the oracle cards to understand the magick. I must have, you will NEVER regret that you have bought it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Know what you are getting
Review: I was definately drawn to this set. It is beautiful and it is REAL. But if you are new to using oracles and tarot, as I am, it will be difficult to use. I didn't know the the difference between oracles and tarot. In fact, because of nieveness I was a little shocked by them. After a bit more studing I realized that these cards were a much "truer" portrayal of the fae folk. I'm glad I have them, I'm just not ready for them yet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So Breathtaking
Review: I love this oracle the pictures are great. If you buy this for children you should not unless you explain the Faery realm to them. I have used these cards and I have truly been touched. You will not be dissapointed if you are seriously into reading the cards.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not Tinkerbell here!
Review: Froud/Macbeth's Faeries' Oracle is NOT a pretty, soft, angelic faeries production, of which you may be aware if you have seen any of Froud's previous faery artwork. Even looking at the spelling signifies that Froud is, and always has been, interested in looking at the true nature of the fae, the Pre-Disney sanitized, unsugar-coated variety of fae. They are not always pretty and sweet, and of course they do not wear clothing (those monstrous humans and their gross rags!!!). The deck does have a sense of fae humor and laughs at itself, as well as you! I admire this deck greatly for evincing the ancient spirit of the fae creatures, whose folklore span centuries and continents. They do typify the European fae, from times when woods were deep and dark and we didn't think we knew everything about this world.

It also makes a wonderful oracle deck. The benefit I see it having is that it is not a tarot deck. It doesn't have historically set meanings and centuries of meaning strung on; therefore, a reader of this deck must, and is encouraged by the authors, to use intuition and insight to glean meaning from the presented fae. The whole experience takes one into another world, if the reader is willing to go there.

If you are looking for cutesy little angelic feminine pixies with sweet little wings, then go to your local Hallmark store. If you want the elemental denizens that exist between worlds and can carry you between them. Get this deck NOW!

Summary: The Oracle of Faery Wisdom
Review: I adore this deck! I have extremely accurate readings everytime. The Faeries will not sugar coat the truth. They will tell you the truth, even if you don't want to hear the truth! I am amazed everytime I do a reading how dead on they are, as much as I hate to admit how right they are sometimes! The Faeries will speak to you through Spirit and their messages are so clear. The book Jessica wrote is filled with warmth and her love of the Faery show! Brian's art is gorgeous. If you want to work with the Faeries to help you improve your life, healing work, meditation, etc, they will help you if you simply ask them. Reading with the Faeries Oracle is an excellent medium for them to connect with your spirit. Very easy to read for beginners to advance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The faeries are pretty
Review: I would simply like to say that the artwork is fine. Most of the cards are gorgeous. There are a few cards which show the faeries' breasts and one which shows a naked bottom, but really, who cares? The naked body used to be a prized subject for art and was seen as a beautiful object. What happened? Many fairies are drawn naked anyway. It's a stylistic preference. This deck is definitely worth buying, and if you are offended by those few, just replace them with some other cards or try not to be so bothered by it. The book is very interesting also and gives an in-depth description of each card.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great beginner's set and lovely artwork
Review: As soon as I bought these cards, I could read them -- though I hadn't before read divination cards. The art work is unique and brave, full of emotion and color. There's a blank card for the reader to personally illustrate, which adds a nice touch. They're not for young children or those who want only 'pretty and nicey nice art'. I do readings all the time using them and find them easy, entertaining and the fairies are adorable. A good set of beginner cards and for those art collectors who can see a tie between the earth and sexuality and natural energies.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The artwork is HIDEOUS!
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Breathtaking!
Review: When I purchased this deck, I was browsing for a new Tarot/Oracle deck. I was waiting for something to jump out and yell BUY ME! This deck didn't jump and yell as much as it fluttered into my hands and got comfy.

I had seen Brian's work before without knowing it, but it's familiarity is one of the things that drew me. When I actually opened the box...WOW! These cards blew me away. They spoke to me immediately. I felt as though I were returning to play with my oldest and best childhood friends, only now as an adult, I can see the teachings of the games we play.

The book that accompanies this deck is one that could stand alone. The artwork and descriptions of each faerie and his/her personality is just plain fun! I must agree with another reviewer who says that this set is underpriced! I would pay what I payed for the set for the book alone. I find myself snuggling under an afghan with a cup of tea re-reading it just to chase away rainy day blues. Beautiful art, wonderful writing.

If you are looking for something that will comfort, guide, teach and amuse you, look no further. This is absolutely it!!!! If you were ever a child and would like to be one again, listen... the faeries are inviting you to come and play!
