Thanks for the new thread VG!
I'll join in with the Victorian Fairy please, it's still so new to me.
Trogon, you asked me a great question about the darker cards in last week's thread. I was just a bit busy, and i wanted to answer with a photo! I don't think the deck has skimped on the darker cards, there is darkness here, most especially in the nine and ten of Winter, The Burning Oak (tower) and Death.
Nine of winter is about terror, here the fairy wakes from a nightmare to find weasels circling her home outside. A very real threat, although she is safe inside, she doesn't feel safe.
Ten of winter is a fairy who has disturbed a badger and is trapped between it and icy thorns, with torn wings he is trapped, the badger will kill him.
XVI The Burning Oak - hoards of fairies flee their burning home in their night wear. Families with babies and children, older and younger all fleeing for their lives. The total disruption and terror, the end of their home is all very clear in this card.
XIII Death - a group of fairies mourn a dead bird, almost like a funeral, they have their best clothes on out of respect for the passing of the bird. Its such a sad scene.
Eight of Summer is about leaving home. This fairy's home can't support him anymore as the stream has run dry. He's too sad to fly away so he walks. To me there's more sadness here than a typical eight of cups.
Six of Winter - again for me there is more sadness here than a typical six of swords. These fairies are leaving their winter court for a new life. They're forced out to some extent due to the quarrelling in the court.
There's lots of detail in the cards in this deck, i hope you can see most of it in the photo.
