When I first started with AT I had a few decks. Three.
No Froud. And I mean when I started here a year ago! Forget the date by my name, I posted once all that time ago I think. I created a wishist of decks and the Froud deck was on it. Funny thing about that list; I have everything on it except for one deck, The Healing Earth Tarot. (And that deck is on it's way soon, another story.) I had three categories, and one category was the what I really want category. The decks from that list: The Wishing Well, The Quest Tarot (had it and traded it), Songs for the Journey Home, The Healing Earth Tarot, The Froud Faeries Oracle, and Daughters of the Moon Tarot (again had it and traded, but now I want it again. Am making a new list!) and of course, the VisionQuest Tarot.
The power of setting a goal folks, the power of knowing what you want.
Anyway, my Faeries deck came to me thru a purchase on ebay! Yup, my deck is someone's ebay cast-off, an adopted set of Fae, that were opened and looked thru, but never used. (Later I bought one at B&N for my sister, and she has never used hers. In fact, I opened the box!)
Here's how I finally got the Faeries. The Froud came up for trade on the AT trading forum and I tried to get the deck. Unfortunately, the trade went bad, in many ways, and I was determined to get the deck. I did a search on ebay and bid on what I thought was the deck but was just the book. the seller wrote me and told me I didn't need the cards, the book would work just fine. Um, he had no idea who he was talking to. I was able to get out of that trade, and found a set, and here I am.
And, I'm really a newbie to the deck, like all of you. I thought it might be interesting to sort of look back and see how it was that we came to this deck, what little twists in the road led us to it. In the end it doesn't really matter, what matters is the wisdom you get from the relationship with the Fae, but I love stories. So, please, let me get a cup of tea, and regale me with your stories. Thanks!
