I just got this set for my birthday and all I can say is WOW.
I was blown away while reading the introduction to the book and learning that the writer and artist consulted the Faeries Oracle regarding entering into the venture of making this set, and well they got Epona's Wild Daughter! Apparently the artist is really into the Froud Faeries, and both the writer and artist see the Faeries Oracle as the "type" of deck they wanted to strive to make. By type I do not mean faeries, this deck is about the archetypal exploration of horse wisdom, but the premiss of how an oracle deck should work.
The images are something else, the kit is beautifully packaged, and the book has been engaging so far. Linda Kohanov, who developed the deck, founded Epona Equestrian Services which is "a collective of riding instructors, educators, and counselors exploring the healing potential of th ehorse-human bond." (from flyer that came with set).
I do not own a horse, or ride horses really, and have never been really horse crazed, but this deck seems to allow for people like me, as well as those that already have a connection to horses, to connect with their wisdom for healing purposes. I am really excited about his deck! and if the faeries had a hand in it .... well that is reason enough to try it out for me
