Product Description

Product Description
Only a few hundred years ago, people believed that fairies could see into the future and were capable of bestowing the gift of prophecy on mortals they loved. This pack of 60 cards and accompanying book is designed to enable you to call upon the fairies to give you a glimpse into your destiny. The surreal art, combining photography, computer imaging and illustration, works as an opening into the mystical Otherworld. The book and deck are inspired by the landscape of the British Isles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fairy Ring Oracle, 26 Sep 2004
By Clare "Bookaholic" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is a beautiful deck, the images so gorgeous they will really en-trap you.

This is a little harder to use than my existing fairy oracle but, this is a great inbetween for oracle to tarot. I feel this deck has a slight tarot feel to it without being Tarot.

The 4 cards you get with the deck showing you the different spreads I have found very useful rather than following them out of the book, a fantastic idea. The book included is so good, so comprehensive with so many options for different readings.

This is a great pack for someone who maybe isn't ready for tarot just yet but, wants to move on from the basic oracle packs, and the designs are absolutely gorgeous!

This is one of my favourite oracle decks, and will remain a favourite for a long while to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect deck for the Fairy Aficionado, 31 Dec 2003
By Boudica (Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is a set of Tarot like cards and a book on how to use them.  The deck is divided into four 'seasons' and there is a  grouping of eight (8) cards listed as 'Fairy Festival' representing the eight (8) Sabats of the Wheel of the Year'.
The deck is lovely.  The artwork of Paul Mason is almost photographic in nature and the graphics are super.  Each card is loaded with symbolism and the fairies, either truly beautiful or really ugly are a joy to behold either way.   The artwork here is what captures the attention, which is what the cards are supposed to do.
The 'seasons' - spring, summer, fall and winter - are each very close to the four suits of a regular deck of cards, ace through nine, and then there is a 'Lady' card, a 'knave' card (in place of a jack), a 'queen' and a 'king' card.  While just a tad different from the other 'Rider-Waite' style of decks, the familiarity with a standard style of deck will allow you to pick up and use these cards with only a small amount of modification to the way you read.  Being familiar with the 'Wheel of the Year' will also allow you to easily substitute this for the usual Major Arcane. 
The book is also very well done.  Ms. Franklin has put in much research and time to making this an excellent reference book to go along with the cards.  Discussions about the seasonal nature of the fairy folk, the meaning of the names of the fairy folk, which are taken directly out of folklore and myth from the British Islands.  To read this book is to take a trip through fairy tales (not Mother Goose here but the old fairy tales).  Anyone with any interest in fairies would want to own this book just because of all the reference material collected in one place about the various fairy names.  Here we find King Finvarra, The Blue Hag, Jack Frost, and explanations for the various types of fairies such as garconer, phooka, kelpie and will o' the wisp. Some of these you may recognize, some of these will wet your appetite for more information.
The meaning of drawing these cards is very well explained by Ms. Franklin and working a bit with the deck will allow you to very easily identify the cards with the meanings.  Ms. Franklin gives the upright/reverse meanings so they are there if you draw your cards this way.
Ms. Franklin has also included several suggested ways to draw the cards and with a little practice this too can become easy for one who is familiar with card reading.  The meanings will come as the cards are rich in imagery that does associate very clearly to the explanations given in the book.
Each section has a reference list for notations in the chapter, giving sources for the information provided and there is a very thorough bibliography for those who want to go off and do some research on their own.  But the information that Ms. Franklin has provided here is rich in lore and myth and appears to be very accurate for her research.
A lovely deck and a well written and researched book make for an overall excellent presentation here.  I find this to be a perfect gift idea for someone you know would be interested in decks or fairy lore or just a special treat for yourself.
Boudica

5.0 out of 5 stars Familiar and yet different, 17 April 2003
By A Customer
I love fairies and so I am trying to build up a good collection of books on the subject. I bought this set of cards after reading the Fairy Encyclopedia by the same author. It has a very comprehensive book with it and the cards are superb, especially that young poet in the Lhiannan Shee card. I notice that a few of the cards images are shown in the encyclopedia, often in larger sizes so I can look more closely at the detail. The information on each card is very good, although I found the divinatory meaning of the Boggart hard to work with. I have amended that in my readings by using the rest of the text about this rather troublesome creature to work out a course of action required. That is my only negative comment and it isn't really that negative since the information is all there, just not quite where expected.
