Hi everyone!
I have heard that the faeries oracle from Froud is so special.
But WHY is it so special and different from other decks?
I wanna buy the cards, but also wonder if I will be able to work with them.
Still havng a hard enough time with tarot LOL...
Any info would be great
The reason I find the Froud Faeries Oracle so special is that it is an interactive experience. Once I became connected with the faeries I can hear and sense them even when not using the deck. Over the last 6 years or so they have become my friends and companions. I have not had this experience with any other kind of deck and I own and have owned a lot of decks of all kinds. This one is one of a kind, with a very special magic.
To effectively with this deck I would recommend that you do all of the exercises in the book PRIOR to reading the meaning of any given faerie. Get to know them through what they mean to you. You will be amazed. Also, you need to be open to believing that faeries are real. You have to work with them with an open mind and open heart, if you do you will hear them. You cannot force the connection, and it has come faster to some than to others. Do check out the threads Chronata posted for you if you want some examples of our experiences. If you do get them, or even if you want more information on them, feel free to come by and join the Faeries Oracle study group.
There is no comparison between tarot and the Faeries Oracle, non what-so-ever. The oracle is much more free flowing, and the faeries hate structure. The closest you get to structure with these guys is a faerie classification (Singers, Sidhe, Help Line Troupe, Challengers) ... and there is much flexibility within those classifications.
