Summary: Right on the faerie money!
Review: Brian Froud, best known for his book "Faeries" and his conceptual design in the feature films "The Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth," has given us faeries we can hold in the palm of our hands! Chosen by Jessica Macbeth, or maybe chosen for her by the fae themselves, each faery, each pixie, each gnome has their own personalities, their own ways of communicating with each and every reader. Some may pop up (literally!) on a daily basis, with a new message or an old reminder, while others may slide in and slide on out again, as they each see fit. Macbeth's exercises to introduce you to the general collective as well as individual fae are introspective and illuminating. Froud's illustrations glow with life that you cannot ignore. When you hold these fae in your hands, you are the true captive.

Summary: Excellent Divination Tool
Review: The Faeries' Oracle is an excellent divination tool. The portraits of the different Faeries' speak quite directly to the reader about the querent and the problem that has been posed. I find the book that comes along with it quite helpful as this is not a usual tarot deck.

Along with being a great deck for divination use, you'll also have fun just looking through the cards! The artwork is incredible!!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Faeries' Oracle
Review: Ultimately there's just no substitute for a real Tarot deck, but this cute little set- made remarkable by beautiful pictures and an informative, easy-to-read guide- is a lot of fun to work with. A lot more 'positive' in outlook than is the Tarot, it's also good for breaking in new people who might find the Tarot's gloom and doom disturbing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enchanting, Beautiful, and unlike any other
Review: Feeling connected with Faeries most of my life, they were pulling on my hair, telling me to purchase this. Being a big fan of Brian Froud's work on Good Faeries/Bad Faeries, and his other projects (Dark Crystal, etc) I really wanted to give this a try. When I received my order, I couldn't put it down. The book that comes with this deck is by the kindest-hearted person, Jesa Macbeth. Her words and wisdom will help you to produce the kind of results you are looking for.

Each of the Oracle cards have it's own personality and feel. When you go through the deck, you will find faeries that you are drawn to and faeries that you are not drawn to. These are important to note to yourself. These Oracle cards are not like Tarot cards. Tarot cards tend to be 'serious' and uptight. The meanings are harder to develop on your own. With these Oracle cards, the Faeries encourage you to laugh, sing, cry, do whatever you like. There are no rules, only that you feel comfortable with the cards and the message the Fae may be sending to you.

Also, if you purchase these cards, or if you are curious to what more people think (who own the cards), you should check out the Faeries' Oracle e-group. ...

Enjoy!!

Summary: Another favorite
Review: There are so many different oracular sets out there now, so many people trying to show an easier or more insightful way to get in touch with what is going on around and within you. Of all the decks that I have used, this one beats them all. Not only is the art impressively communicative, but the book is equally as chaming. I do not have the words to praise the artwork of Brian Froud, which I have had the pleasure of seeing many places other than this work. The book is not only of the highest quality (being hardbound and sewn rather than paperback and glued), but the author manages to cajole the reader into the empathic, intuitive response that is so necessary for such reading and invariably lost in the attempts to "read it right" and learn all of the meanings perfectly. Of all the non-tarot decks I have, this one is by far my favorite work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Amazing!
Review: This is truely a powerful deck of cards! The book is wonderful, and will help you to REALLY understand what "faerie" is, and how to use the deck for your personal use. I like the open-mindedness of the author as well. I find this set to be special, and I think you will too. If you're looking for an enlightened experience, than this is the oracle for you.

Summary: This oracle changed my life...
Review: I used to be quite the cranky guy. My wife gave me this because she knew the world it contained was fun, silly and wise...something that I truly needed to step forward with my life. Apart from a particular fairy pulling my zipper down when I least expect it (work meetings) I have had nothing but joyous revelations and amazing encounters. Not only is the artwork on the cards AMAZZZZING, it also has a guide book that shows you how to really bond with your deck in YOUR OWN WAY, which is truly different from anything I've seen. I recommend this oracle to anyone interested in Faery, oracles, Brian Froud or for someone who wants something new and positive in their lives. No regrets on this one!

Summary: UNDERPRICED in my opinion!! :)
Review: I just bought the Faeries' Oracle today. I had been using a tarot deck for divination, but I can see that I may have a difficult time getting back to my tarot cards now that I have this Faerie Deck!

The artwork on the cards in absolutely stunning! I really love it. Froud is a wonderful artist. The expressions on the faces of the faerie are so telling of what the card means. This is not like tarot, where you have to figure out what one man standing alone on a hill is supposed to mean. This deck is so much easier to interpret, especially if you want to make up your own meanings instead of going by the book's definitions.

Jessica MacBeth gives a wonderful exercise in the beginning to teach you how to interpret a few cards. I was extrememly impressed by the results I received by answering the simple questions she asked. I was able to make sense out of even the abstract cards! I have a lot of trouble doing this with my tarot deck. I won't give away the secret of what happens after you do this exercise, but I can tell you that it was wonderfully insightful.

I was so impressed with the deck and book, I immediately joined Jessica's internet mailing list to discuss the deck with others. I highly recommend this oracle to anyone interested in divination, faeries, or if you just love Brian Froud's artwork! The combination of the three plus the wonderful book by Jessica MacBeth is really something else!! You won't regret buying this! :)
