I ordered this deck from the artist's website and received it yesterday. It was $36 U.S. including shipping. Definitely another favorite. The art is misty -- there's no edge to the lines -- and you'd swear the cards glow with their own self-produced light. Imagery is full of fairies in all shapes and sizes. There is nothing in the pictures that would offend or scare anyone. It's a very positive deck, attractive but not cutesy. You can order it with or without a carved wooden box (I ordered it with), and it comes in a little flannel bag with a fairy wing pin for a fastener. Many of the cards have new and interesting takes on the traditional imagery. If you're into the Fae World, you need to check this deck out! Artist's website is www.hoose.com -- Kyrielle

wow, thanks for sharing the website. I see what you mean about the glowing. It's nice that you can order it with the wooden box too.

I have to say WOW!, too! Thanks for this site. I'd like very much to get this deck for my daughter who is into fairies and the like. Midnightmerry

I was looking at some of the pics. I particularly like the Tree!

after much deliberation,i finally bought my fae deck last week. it really is a nice set. i've bought several self-published decks and this has to be the nicest set i've bought. the cards are good quality. a good size for small hands. placed w/in a piece of flanned inside nice carved box. i think the price has gone up since last summer to round $41 but i can't complain. i've spent much more on decks that are only of the major arcana. there is a card autographed by greg hoose and a booklet of poetry on each card. one thing about greg hoose i find interesting is that his father was a magician and his mother a fairy artist so magic and fairies have long been a part of his life. he admits not knowing as much about tarot but i can deal with that. the art bothers me some b/c the colors look muddied in an attempt to darken colors. i tend to prefer clear colors even if the card is dark so this observation is probably a personal problem and wouldn't bother most ppl. i'm glad i got this set. it is a great contribution to my collection.

As I am sure at least one you expected ~looks at Truthsayer and Faunabay~ I have finally broken down and ordered this deck today. I guess I was feeling a little down and disspointed at the decks I have recently acquired (with the exception of the Wheels of Change) that well ... what could cheer me up more than more faeries? so now I have 2 faerie decks coming my way :) YAY!
