Okay, so technically I cheated a little bit with this one… The book reviewed herein is meant to be paired with a deck of oracle cards, but I spotted the book by itself in a thrift shop and I couldn’t bear to leave it behind, even though it was without its accompanying cards. (Yes, I am aware that my “leave no precious book behind” attitude is a bit of a problem, but go ahead and try to stop me!) Like most guidebooks for oracle or tarot decks by specific creators or artists, this small book takes us through each of Brian Froud’s illustrated oracle cards with words and interpretations provided by his wife and longtime collaborator, Wendy Froud. Each wise and tricksy faerie is given their due with a full page spread that shows a purpled sepia-toned version of their portrait (rather than the full-colour of the cards themselves) and explores their unique nature and advice to the card reader. As much as I would have obviously liked full colour miniatures of the faeries, the muted tones of the book (pale brown page backgrounds with a rich brown serif font) actually work quite well in providing a grounded setting in which to explore the mysteries of the Heart of Faerie. Scattered throughout are a handful of mischievous fey who don’t grace the cards, giving readers a few surprises along their journey - which maybe even provide some extra oracular words if we’re using the book to tell fortunes as well! After we’ve met all of the entire Heart of Faerie court (and they do seem to be a motley court at that!) we stumble back to reality with a personable interview with our guides, the Frouds, and a custom spread of cards that pairs perfectly with the deck to reveal the heart of any readers’ query and one which imbues themes of faerie wishes. I fully enjoyed my journey through this unique oracle deck, but I think that using it might be a bit more complicated than those that I am used to. The fey court, after all, has many opinions, and many of the cards have complex meanings that seem diametrically opposed to human nature. That may be the crux that makes this deck powerful for those who partake, but like all faerie wisdom we would do well to double check for truth-telling and hidden meanings! ( ) When you enter the world of Faerie you enter another world, a world of magic and love that is opened to you through your imagination and is guided by the wisdom and beauty of faeries. Each faerie encountered along the way is a unique being fully thought-out with their own personalities and intriguing quirks. Each faerie encountered is there to guide you on your way. But the world of Faerie is not at all times giggles and sunshine; there is a deep and complex side to Faerie that is not always easily navigated. However, through each individual faerie and their corresponding card you will find a meaning for each faerie that appears to you on your journey into their magical world. Each card in the set offers an image that tells its own story as it draws you in, a story that is interpreted and added to by the reader. There are many familiar faces that have returned once again to share their knowledge, but there are also many new faces who have for the first time presented themselves in this charming set. The Heart of Faerie Oracle showcases the masterful and stunningly beautiful artwork of Brian Froud in such a way as to involve the reader in the enchanting story as narrated by the faeries through Wendy Froud. This is officially the first work the couple have collaborated on together and an interview with Brian and Wendy Froud about this is included. There is something about Brian Froud's art that is both inspiring and emotional, a raw beauty that looks deep inside and captures the very heart of a thing. That same essence is captured here in this set. My first reading with these lovely cards was using the three wishes reading, more about that and the faeries meanings can be found inside The Heart of Faerie Oracle. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
