My Experiences
Hello all,
This deck was actually my first pull into Tarot/Oracle, I had been interested before but never connected with anything. I live in a pretty small town and I was at Books-A-Million with my sweetie looking in that area of the store. I found the book "The Fairy Ring" looked through it, put it back. My budget was a little close at the moment. I later showed it to my sweetie and the odd thing was that I could point right to it after it had been moved. I came back to the store about two other times and every time I at least picked up the book and looked at it, always able to very quickly locate it even if it was misshelved.
Well took a couple of out of town friends there, showed the woman the book as she found me looking at it and I put it back. My sweetie surprised me with the book as he decided to grab the book while it was still there and I could get it. I could not find the deck except for ordering it and I don't have a credit card but the out of town friend found it in Seatlle and brought it back for me on their next trip over.
I loved it before I even opened it, I held off on thumbing through the cards for a bit as there were a lot of people over at that moment. I finally loooked through them and each one was like a new discovery when you are a little kid. For awhile they stayed in their box until yesterday. My mom had been given a used wooden cigar box and I wound up getting it. Turns out the fairy's were interested in it as soon as I brought it home. I took off the plastic that they were using as a hinge, took the deck out and placed them in it. They were happy as soon as they were -near- the box. They did not want the lid of the box to be put back on (at least for now) and they are on the top shelf of the book case with the lid on a plate stand (it has a really pretty painted fish on it). They had me keep the box they came in which is back on the bookcase where it was before.
I have not done a spread with them yet (except for one online at their website and that was very acurate) as I am still learning and waiting for a spread cloth. I know that a spread cloth depends on what is best for the reader but the idea of one just feels right. But I know already that these fairy's are very playful and I really love the look of the deck. Because of how perfect some of the pictures are the ones that are not "dead-on" seem to jump out at you a bit. Like "LOOK AT ME!!! LOOK AT ME!!!" but it has a very nice feel to it. The deck seems a little large for me (I have small hands) but I will figure out a way to shuffle them if I need to.
I really love this deck and can not wait to play with it more.
