Pros and Cons about The Mystic Faerie?

[Frannie]

Hi, I just have my Mystic Faerie arriving in a few days, I was just wondering how some of you feel about this deck, what do you think are the positive/negative things about. I personally saw the pics and loved it, but I'd love to hear from people ho have it, thanks

Hi Frannie,

with many statements from people who have it (mine including).

Have fun with yours!

I would say the pros are that the artwork is certainly charming and wonderful (especially the suit of Pentacles) but it does look like greeting card art as someone mentioned. I am finding it hard to read with, as so much of it looks the same.

Also the book/stories/interpertations are a bit shallow in my opinion. The stories aren't really well written, and very simplistic. I thought it was a very innovative and enchanting idea to have a story for each suit, so I wasn't happy they were so "blah". And the card interpertations are the same. Very basic. I was expecting much more in the way of the book. So it was a letdown. It could have been so much more.

I do love the spreads in the book though.
