how I got my fae...
Well, my sister, Alissa, signed me up for an account here, as a mother's day gift one year. I hung out a lot around the tarot forum stuff, and posted a lot. My sister said I should check this deck out, the "Faerie Oracle Deck" by Brian Froud. So I did a search here on aeclectic to view a sample of the deck, and really liked it. It was "himself" that really drew me in, as if he was looking at me and was seducing me. I thought about it for a few days, and the feelings just grew and grew and grew. Finally I decided I just had to have it, but I didn't have the money just yet. I had to wait until my husband got paid. Well that next pay check, it was all going out to rent and bills, and so I couldn't buy it just yet. I waited for the next pay check, and finally I was able to go down and get it. I called and they didn't have any copies. I called all the book stores in town, and none of them had copies. I asked barnes and noble if they could order a copy for me, and call me when it was in. They said they could. I set aside the money until it came in, but they never called me. I kept really wanting the deck. One day, I was out with a friend, and we so happend to be going to a book store. I stopped at the tarot section and looked for curiousity sake. Not only did they have a copy, they had like 5 copies. I guess the person on the phone didn't want to go LOOK on the shelf. I didn't want to waste the gas going back and forth not knowing if they had it or not. Anyways, I bought the deck, and started playing with it as soon as we left the store. I was doing readings with it that night, on myself and my friend. I started reading through the beginning and did the excercises. I had already known about this place, and was following threads while anticipating my own deck. You better believe I was posting the next day about what all I had experienced thus far with this deck. I still love it, and it's my favorite out of all my decks. But I don't have very many other decks anymore, as my kids got to many of them, and destroyed most of them. In fact, I'm on my third deck with the Froud deck alone. My first deck bit it when someone poured their beer all over my purse at a party. My second deck bit it when my son, my youngest child, played with it, and decided to fill the sink up with water, and dip them into the water, and stick them to the walls, to the ground and various other places. So I'm on my third deck now. So far these guys have lasted.
