Just got it and making no commitments
Hello lovers of the Fae!
I got this deck after not being sure I would get it. I have the FO and it's okay. Readings are good, the art is great but there was just something missing for me in the deck. But as I was contemplating the Heart of the Faerie I decided to draw a couple of cards from the FO just to see what they would say.
They loved the idea of me getting the deck, go figure right?
I got it today after work with a 40% coupon from Borders. I decided to get it because of the blue in the cards. I think when I saw scans the extra pop of color in the background grabbed my attention.
My initial concern is the card stock. It seems flimsy but useable. I have literally only had them a few hours and the edges have more wear of them than my FO which I have had for years. But I can live with it because here is the deal.
I LOVE THE DECK
Everything I liked about the structure of the FO I find here. The art is great, but I could never get my head around the divisions of the groups in the FO. But with the HoF I get it instantly. I love the Queens and their Consorts. I love the Archetypes, the Sprites, the Journey (by far my favorite group) and the Tricksters.
I am going to use the deck in the April FSC and see how it reads. I will be studying it casually until then and just looking at the cards and their images. The book looks good but the cards I think will read for me far better than the FO which I never used without the book. I'll let you all know how that goes.
Onyx.
