I found a beautiful copy of the Faeries’ Oracle in a secondhand bookshop for $15 a couple of weeks ago. An impulse purchase, but one I felt very strongly was the right decision… and, having just done my first tentative reading with it, I am all the more sure. It’s such a WARM, friendly deck, and Froud’s art is absolutely stunning. And, just to prove my decks are in cahoots, the reading is, I need to be sensible, wise and creative. I need to open myself to creativity, and focus on the dance and flow of it, not get caught up in trying to be perfect.

tarotprose replied to your photo post: WOW. This deck is so gorgeous!!! I am so happy for you. Have a great time bonding with it. Also do you have a favorite card or cards?

It’s really beautiful, truly. I bought it in part because I was getting interested in decks I could use to help me, and also because one of the books I lost recently, that were destroyed, was my edition of Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book, which was also by Froud. I hadn’t replaced it yet, and though the pictures are different, I knew the deck would be something I could use rather than a book I’d thumb through maybe once a year at most. I don’t have a favourite card yet. Once I know them and their meanings better, then maybe, but right now, the answer’s pretty much ‘all of them!’. 😀
