i recently acquired the "healing with the faeries" oracle cards, and then combined them with my "healing with the angels" oracle cards...and i'm lovin' it!!
firstly, a concern might be that the backs are different, possibly preventing a cohesiveness as you lay the cards out...but no, this has not been a problem for me. sure, i know that the angel wings are from one deck, and the faery wings are from the other, but it really doesn't matter. in fact, it's kinda neat!
anyway, virtue calls the faeries "nature angels" who operate in our more mundane, material realm. this i associate with the minor arcana. the angels from my first deck are represented of the majors, operating on the heavenly, divine realm. they all blend very well in theme and design. the card meanings have worked so well together, in the standard three or four card spreads i've done, that my querents and i have had several of those "this is weird-but-cool" moments. the key words or phrases on the cards are particularly conducive to the more specific issues one may wish to confront, because they are so direct and even conversational. this is what i already liked about the angel cards, and virtue has kept it up with the faeries.
i'm very pleased with these decks together...and i didn't want anybody else to pass up the opportunity to at least consider these cards--either of them, or both--as a viable oracle deck.
