Yet gregory swears by it, and I can see why. I LOVED the scans --it's probably the most beautiful of the Art Nouveau inspired decks-- and yet couldn't really connect with it....

i know...same for me. Gorgeous art-- but just left me cold for some unknown
reason. Maybe it was the minors...the fairies were kind of repetitive, if i am remembering correctly.
i really loved the Majors much more--that i DO definitely remember.

The Mystic Faerie Tarot. It is a very well done, pretty little deck, with an excellent book by Barbara More that weaves a story for each suit. Yet it didn't do anything for me, surprisingly enough.

After having letting it go, I still wonder why. I mean, it's not just a pretty face, it's a rock-solid deck with substance, fairies (of the non-sugary kind, thank goodness), and, like I said, an excellent book. So my disappointment is not the deck per se, but my lack of response to it, if that makes sense.

Flizzy, if it means anything--i had the exact same experience with that deck
a couple of years ago...

Friends, I see I'm in good company here. This got quite rave reviews so I got the app. Nope, not for me. Same same in the Minors is what it felt like to me. I want to like it though. But faerie homogeneity.
