The Faeries' Oracle
Fireside Books, November, 2000.
Hardcover, 242 pages.
ISBN: 0743201116
The immensely talented Brian Froud (Good Faeries, Bad Faeries)
has teamed with Jessica MacBeth to create a set of
66 oracle cards, which can be used the same way you would
use a Tarot deck for readings. The Faeries' Oracle also
includes a delightful hardcover book with full descriptions
of each of the oracle cards, directions for doing readings
and getting in touch with the faeries. The paintings on the
cards are exquisite. The beautiful Spirit Dancer, the
majestic Solus, the intriguing Piper, the joyous Maiden
and the frightening and ugly G. Hobyah are all here, and
bring different meanings when they show up in a reading.
And it doesn't take an oracle to predict continued success
for the gifted Mr. Froud and Ms. MacBeth.
Tarot card users, fantasy lovers and lovers of the wee
folk should snap this set up immediately -- it's just too
good to let get away.
