Fairy Ring Oracle
By Anna Franklin
Illustrated by Paul Mason
Between the Worlds.
They inhabit the enchanted realm of dreams and legends, often crossing the
threshold between this world and the Otherworld. They have been called the
Little People, the fae, or the People of the Hills. With the ability to bestow
great gifts if favored or wreak household havoc if angered, fairies have long
been much loved and much feared in the Celtic lands.
Listen to the wisdom of the Little People as they speak through the cards of The
Fairy Ring. This oracle will enchant with its evocative artwork as it enlightens
with insightful readings. The full-sized guidebook includes fairy lore, upright
and reversed card interpretations, and nine unique card layouts.
Many fairies are seasonal creatures, so the cards of The Fairy Ring are divided
into four suits: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. This motley assortment of
fairies-from helpful brownies to ghostly banshees to the ethereal Morgan le
Fay-appear on the cards in the suit of the season in which they are most likely
to be seen. Eight additional cards celebrate the ancient Celtic solar and
pastoral holidays, long considered to be auspicious days for working with the
fae.
The gateway to the Otherworld stands open. Cross the threshold and enter the
Fairy Ring, where the gifts and guidance of the fairy folk await you.
