I have been really tempted by this deck. It has such dreamy imagery.
Do you think this deck would be appropriate for a teenage girl's (15) first deck? I'm considering giving this as a gift to my niece.
I know that it depends on the personality, maturity, interests, etc. of the girl. She seems mature for her age (although at 15 I realize "seems" is the key word). She's very intelligent, sensitive, and creative. She is a dancer, she loves to sing, draw and paint. She also loves nature, going fishing, and practicing shooting guns.
Any feedback is welcome and appreciated! Thank you in advance.
Hi, I have the deck and I counted roughly 15 characters that I would consider fairy. It is a 52 card deck, so you'd be removing almost a third of it if your intention is to take out all fairy cards. I hope that helps.
I have the deck and have done a review on YouTube. I think it's a wonderful deck, and the messages I've been receiving are so sharp and on point that it has really been helping me a lot in my life at the moment. If the artwork appeals to you at all, I would highly recommend this deck.
Personally, I think this deck would be a lovely option for a 15 year old girl. However tastes are personal so it's hard to say difinitively.
I got my copy today after a long and tiring day. I was happy to have something more positive to focus on. Overall as an oracle I like them. They're lovely and the cards are pretty diverse so it would be helpful in many different types of readings.
But I don't know if I like them as much as the Enchanted Map. I suppose I like the scenery in the Enchanted Map versus the focus on one person, item, or creature that these cards have. But I am hopeful that the more I work with them that they'll grow on me.
I also am curious if there's any significance to the banners that are across almost every card top like in "Clean It Up" ... To me they're detracting and being exactly the same makes the fact the artwork is photomanipulated hard to ignore. I've always enjoyed decks that were, but unless there's a reason for the banners it just looks like uncreative filler. The artist could have easily placed something else there, so I'm hoping it's there for a reason. I've looked through the booklet and didn't see anything about them if it is there.
I don't think you will regret it, Happy Squirrel. Her first deck was the best, imo...
I have all of her decks so far, but I won't be getting this one. I have overdosed on Colette.
I preferred her earlier decks, like Wisdom of Avalon, that had less (to me) aloof self-righteousness. Kind of disappointed and fed up...
I can no longer aspire to her lofty spiritual heights, being merely a human being.
And she is starting to remind me of Doreen Virtue.
Well my copy arrived last week and I am in love. I don't see much fae in the deck at all and I'm in no way into fairies - in fact I gave my DV Healing With The Fairies oracle deck away for that very reason.
I don't have any of Colette's other decks, but after having seen many images and reviews of them, this is the one that speaks to me.
