I have been craving a deck with soft creamy colors,
something gently beautiful, a deck that would feel
"just right" for me. I've spent weeks over at Aecletic
Tarot looking at various cards to try to get a feel for
the right one. I have several decks, but I got them
quite a while ago and I've gone thru some heavy changes in
my life and I need some new decks that will better match
where I am now. I did list this deck as a possiblity when
browsing at Aecletic.
Over the years I have had decks that worked for me intellectually,
some on a creative basis, some spoke to me spiritually, some politically.
It seems every deck speaks to me in a different way which is why
I would choose different decks for different people when reading
and also depending on where I was in my head.
I've always had one deck at different points in my life that was
the one I could always use for anyone and the one that I used for my
own personal readings. This deck is that deck for me at this time in my life.
I'm older now and have had a lot of experiences, some wonderful and some
devestating. From all this, thankfully, I've gone in the direction
of attaining some wisdom rather than going toward bitterness. This
deck speaks to all that. It doesn't just have all positive meanings.
It is a for-real, real-life, deck.
I have learned thru life that there are healthier ways to handle difficulties than I knew when I was younger and that you "can" do things to improve even the worse situations. And this deck goes in that direction.
As an example, I love her interpretation of the "Devil" card:
"If you are in the Devil's garden, your answers will not be easy, but they will be freeing. At some level, something is controlling you, and thus you are not in control of your life. Identify what it is that holds you in bondage. Only then can you free yourself. And finally, our impish fae would tell you not to be afraid of your desires. Enjoy the ones you can in ways that are beneficial to you and others, and don't give the destructive ones any foothold in your life."
For me, this is the best interpretation of this card I have ever read.
It doesn't pussy-foot around. There is a problem. It has you in bondage. But after cautioning us to free ourselves from it I love that she goes on to talk about enjoying other pleasures freely,ones that do no harm.
Usually, when I choose a deck I read the interpretations like Death, Devil, Hierophant and lots of the yukky sword cards. I can tell by the
way the writer has approached these if this is a deck I can work with.
I wasn't able to read this book before hand so I think the Universe directed me to this kit.
It's beautiful. It talks about real life, but without leaving you feeling hopeless, and if that is the kind of thing you are looking for, you'll love this deck and book. (I also really do love the little bag for the cards,too :)

This tarot deck is now my favorite. While it's rather hard for my amateur self to go thumbing through the book for each card, there IS a book, and a very nice one at that.
The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. All of them are pretty in their own way, with different faeries for every one. The set also comes with a tarot deck drawstring bag. This makes for a very, very nice gift for your beginner divination inclined friends or family... or even if they just love fairies!

Linda Ravenscroft has created a beautiful tarot deck, filled with images that inspire their message to any card reader. It was easy getting lost in the images and finding the underlying meanings of the card in a spread for a client. The accompanying book is ok. Not as detailed as I'd like to see, but it is nice to read the stories behind the cards. The interpretations I found to be slightly lacking. But it's the deck itself that is the real gem in this compilation. It has become my favorite deck to provide readings with.

When I very first received my "Mystic Faerie Tarot," by Barbara Moore and Linda Ravenscroft, I was so excited. I am especially passionate about Celtic folklore, and anything that comes my way that is about the faeries is especially welcome.
Originally I had thought that the Mystic Faerie Tarot would be similar to the Faery Ring by Anna Franklin, which is based on actual faerie folklore. The Mystic Faerie Tarot is not based in folklore, though it does feature its own tales from the fey folk.
The creator of the deck is the renowned faerie artist, Linda Ravenscroft. And the cards are among some of the most beautiful that I've ever seen. The cards seem to be done in watercolour and the colors of the minor arcana are done in gentle hues, with the colors of the major arcana being just a bit brighter.
The guidebook is by Barbara Moore, author of the Gilded Tarot. Barbara really knows her tarot. She has served as the Tarot Specialist for Llewellyn Publications, and has been featured in many tarot publications.
The cards are so beautiful, they are impossible to put down. I just can't stop playing with them! They don't seem to be based on the traditional tarot at all, but rather each suit tells its own faerie tale.
Pentacles, for instance, tells the tale of a young fey who goes out on her own; the challenges she must overcome and the beautiful friendships she forms along the way. Cups tells the story of love, and the commitment necessary to make relationships work. Swords tells the story of three fey who must learn that sometimes pain and loss are part of life, and that some things just have to be released. Wands tells the story of two fey friends who travel on a grand journey together, only to find that they must eventually part ways due to differing opinions.
The guidebook carefully (and simply) lays out the story for you, so that you can look at the cards and get a clear picture of the meaning of the cards.
This clever design makes this one of the easiest decks I've ever worked with (aside from the ones that actually have the keyword printed on the card!). And mind you, I would never have considered myself a tarot reader.
The guidebook itself is 284 pages, and includes sections on interpreting the major arcana, the suits and the court cards. It also includes a chapter on "Visiting the Faerie Garden" which gives guidance on creating sacred space, asking a question, selecting a spread, shuffling the cards, laying out the cards, interpreting the reading, thanking the faeries for the help and cleansing and storing your cards. The chapter on spreads includes nine spread examples (and they are all fun). There are also sample readings and a quick reference guide.
All in all, I must say that the Mystic Faerie Tarot is one of the most lovely decks I've ever worked with, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wished to wander into the magical realm of the faerie.
