I remember when I first got this deck there were many cards that seemed strange, offputting and downright odd - at first. This card however, drew me in immediately. With its bright, childlike colours- blue, yellow, purple- and 2 cute faeries, this card had a cheerful personality which seemed to reassure and welcome me in.
There is a definite 'cartoon' feel to the two fae depicted, bringing back memories of innocent sunday mornings watching cartoons before my parents got up. One of the amazing things about this deck is the way it can bring back that youthful happiness and energy. The time when I used to make up my own fairy-stories and hunt for fairies at the bottom of the garden suddenly doesn't seem so far away. As Jessica writes, our old imaginary friends and guardians suddenly don't seem so foolish, and this card allows us to welcome them back as adults.
The two fae depicted seem to be in complete harmony. Faery Nuff provides light from his tail and keeps a beady eye on what is in the distance. Meanwhile, Laochan provides a 'helping hand' to Nuff and lifts him up, propelling him onwards and upwards. Nuff has his own wings of course, but he's not too proud to ask for help if he's tired. And this is the kind of friendship we would all love, one of total trust and co-operation, without petty squabbles or misplaced pride.
Laochan balances an orb on his foot playfully, as if playing a game of Fae-football, and laughs. Reminding us that the best friends are often those we can laugh, play, and be silly with!
When I draw this card I feel the Fae are offering their friendship and support, and inviting me to pass these gifts on to the wider world.
