The Faeries' Oracle

The oracle deck only has 66 cards but the same idea that lies behind tarot readings lurks here as well. There used to be a yahoo group for the oracle system that was maintained by the author, Jessica Macbeth. I'm not sure if it's still around or not, but if it is and you own the Oracle its a great place. Not all of the cards depict faeries as you would expect, some of their shapes are beyond otherworldly... but I think you'll like it.

Another gift, this one from my mother, came in the guise called the Faeries' Oracle. This is another deck that isn't really tarot but I include it because it a card system of divination. My mom and I have a love of Brian Froud artwork which is what spurred this gift for me. It comes with a small sized hardcover book that helps you acquaint yourself with the cards and the fae. The way you do readings is different than a normal tarot deck and the answers you get are often more of a suggestion than a guide. The artwork is amazing, even the 'simple' looking cards have so much hidden in them. The only thing that I would change about these cards is that I would want them to be larger so that there is more detail to the art that graces them.

The cards shown here are actually cropped a little. My scanner didn't want hold all of them and I didn't feel like scanning them one by one. There is a border around each card that has the name of the faerie depicted.
