I don't have my cards yet, but I wanted them to have a bag before they even got here.
So I sent the question across the earth.... what would you like?
Well, I do a lot of sewing, and I have this earthy brown fake wool and I had a picture of the wool suddenly appear inside my head. I could picture the faeries playing inside of it. So I decided to make a satchel bag that was big enough to fit the book inside as well, so the book is handy while I'm first learning the fae and playing with them.
Once I finished sewing the bag together, I decided it needed to be buttoned, as I don't want to lose the cards when I'm out and about. So I pondered on a button.
Again, I had an instant picture in my head. Months ago, my best friends son, whilst playing outside, found a terracotta rock... but its a perfect bead, has a natural hole straight through the middle. He kept asking everybody if they wanted it, but nobody did, and just to make him smile, I said that I was sure I would find a use for it. He was ecstatic, and I put it in my sewing box and thought nothing more of it. But when I thought about a button, the fae knew what they wanted. The terracotta button. More earthyness.
So I attached it, but for love nor money, no matter how I tried, the button kept shifting until it was slightly off center. Then I could imagine the fae giggling their heads off, because now it made it easier to get in and out of one side of the bag.
As the fabric itself is rough and itchy, I wanted something else smaller that the cards themselves could be wrapped in, and instantly, I knew what they wanted. It had to be multi shades of green, kind of like the way when you view the light playing on leaves through the trees, you see the different shades of green. That was how it was shown to me, the light through the leaves and different shades of green. But it also had to be gauzy and see through, so that they could see out of it, whilst still feeling secure.
My friend said to me "that pouch is a bit rough" and I told her what I was picturing for the faeries wrappings. She blinked at me, turned around, skerricked through a cardboard box behind her under the table and pulled out a large gauzy square of fabric. In the middle its a yellowish green, radiating out to a dark forest green at the edges. And the patterning that radiates out from middle to edges is actually the shape of leaves.
My jaw dropped and then I just grinned. I could almost hear the faeries squealing at me that yes yes yes, that was it.
So now they have their home to go to, I just need to wait for them to arrive.
I can't wait. I've played with my friends deck, I'm keen for my own. I want to play with the fae and experience them.
The thing thats astounded me is that I've never honestly thought much about faeries... I've always been a unicorn kind of a girl. And I always thought that when it came to Oracle Cards, unicorn cards would be the ones that drew me in. But I have never seen a deck of Unicorn cards that I like. But these cards drew me in and mesmerized me from minute one. And now I can't stop thinking about them.
I so relate to this. I got faeries Oracle some 2 months ago, just after 2 weeks, I had cut up the original box and make book marks out off all the faeries on it
