Recently
I have bought The Faeries' Oracle by Brian Froud and Jessica Macbeth. It was for sale at a Dutch online thrift
store. Before I am going to tell you my findings about this deck I have to say
that I never ever wanted an oracle deck about fairies because I didn't think it
could add something substantial to my spiritual journey.
I was
looking for a secondhand Thoth deck because I wanted to explore that system.
The owner of the Thoth deck also had the Faeries’ Oracle for sale. And since
she lived in my neighborhood I could pick it up myself (no shipping costs!). The
Thoth deck also had a book to go with it and together with the Faeries’ oracle
it was only 15 euro’s.
I have
to admit frankly I haven’t touched the Thoth deck and I cannot keep away from
the Faeries’ Oracle. When I started reading the intro of the guidebook, it was
as if something deeply tucked away stirred and awakened. The writing was
mesmerizing. While reading I felt shivers running up my spine. I wasn't ready
for this kind of bonding with yet another deck. I wanted to fully dedicate
myself my study of the Wildwood tarot. But after picking up the cards that was
out of the question. When I flipped through the deck I knew that if there was
something like faeries they would be like this. There was some kind of
recognition or deep remembering. And I felt my little girl inside was happy J
Now on
my cupboard in the living room I have two cards from my two most precious decks
standing side by side. I just had to give in.
Do I
believe in faeries??? I don’t know for sure anymore. I do know I have a strong connection
to this deck and there is definitely something pulling me to get to know it on a more deeply level

| Singer Of Transfiguration |
For
today I have drawn The Singer of Transformation
“This card in a reading signifies the joy of
success after a time of struggle. A new way of life has been accepted and is
being integrated. A sense of inner peace is growing. The struggle has all been
worth it. This is a time of consolidation and joy, and is both a reward for
past achievements and a time of preparation for the next climb up the path.”

| Six of Bows - Abundance |
and The
six of bows-Abundance
“A time to reap the benefits of summer
abundance and to accept the rewards and blessings that are the result of
endurance. We humbly share the plenty of the ripening year…”
Without
further exploring of the cards, they do make me think about the holiday season when
everybody gets in the spirit of peace on
earth and being grateful with everything
you have gathered over the last year and above all share those gifts with the
ones you love. (Don’t forget to include yourself J)
And on a
level beyond our daily live I see the abundance( six of bows) that is waiting
for me if I go through the door of my fears (transfiguration).
