I’m sorry. Nothing personal against Ms. Brown, but enough is enough. You have your fairy paintings plastered over every conceivable surface from greeting cards to air fresheners. Did you really need to venture into the Tarot/Oracle market? You already have “collectible” cards in circulation.
All the art in this deck has been in circulation before now. It is an obvious ploy to cash in on another market. This does nothing but bring down the reputation of the genre and where people are creating decks from scratch specifically for tarot/oracle purposes.
If you are a fan of Ms. Brown’s art then I guess there could be worse ways to spend your money. I have to give her credit for being able to market herself so well. But if you are looking for a true tarot or oracle deck, then I suggest you look elsewhere. I’m frankly astonished at the high sales rankings I see here.

I have to disagree with the comment above^^..
I happen to be a very big fan of Mrs.brown and I love this deck.
Yes the pictures are not new but still beautiful to see…
When your a fan of an artist it doesn’t bother you to see there art work in your car or your home….So there may be fans who practice reading the tarot who may enjoy this deck..
To each his own I say..
But don’t become angry with the artist for pleasing her fans
It’s how she makes her money i would do the same..

I have to say I very much enjoy and am enchanted with this set!
I have over 200 Tarot and Oracle decks and this one is a top fave. The art is so rich and colourful. Just looking at it gives one a sense of peace and calm. The cards are failrly large and the printing quality is wonderful, the colours are vivid, deep, rich and very evocative. I adore the backs! The quality of the cardstock could have been better though, but I’ve certainly seen worse cardstock in oracles. It’s not THAT bad. The cards will hold up fine as long as you treat your deck with respect and love (as you should treat them anyways) and not be rough and careless with them.
The book I was very plesantly surprised with. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Nancy Brown has done a fantastic job imo. Each image is married wonderfully to the text in the book. She gifts you with some great wisdom, advice, humor and things to meditate and contemplate on everyday. I really like the ‘prayer’ at the bottom of each card description. Some card meanings are longer and more detailed than others, but they are all very evocative and full of sage advice. The book itself is very pretty, a smaller size hardback, much easier to tote around.
I use this deck almost daily and I have so many favourite cards! The Shaman, Night Light, Birth of Magic, Discovery, Green Faery, The Oldest Fairy, Fey (top fave!), Moon Dragon, The Doormouse, Something Wild, Moon Secrets, The Source of Magic, Believe, Dandelion, Autumn and Lighting the Way! I draw a card or cards for inspiration, serenity and some wise thoughts throughout my day. They’ve been a warm and enchanting friend for some time.
These cards and book doesn’t just feel like any old oracle, they feel very special and bonded to me. Alive. They talk right back to me!
The packaging IS very gorgeous as others have stated. Stunning really. I tend to toss boring or so-so deck boxes, but this one is a definate keeper. I never put the deck and book back in it though, these cards are never far from me, usually in my bag : ).
If you love faery and the fey, you will LOVE this set, no doubt about it. This set isn’t meant as a divination or fortune-telling deck. It’s inspirational and a deck that’s a ‘friend’ to you when your down, just stuck or very happy! I believe the Fey are truly alive in these cards and that energy and light can’t help but escape into your life and heart. Do get them, they’ll add magic and wonder to the mundane.

The art on these cards is beautiful. In my opinion the cards should’ve been on more substantial card stock because the stuff that was used was flimsy. I haven’t worked with the cards much, but from an aesthetic view they are nice.

Like the other reviewers said, this is not a Tarot deck.
But, as Oracle Cards, they are very nice. The packaging is beautiful and the book that comes with it is also nice (it’s written by Amy Brown’s mom, who is a specialist in stuff like oracles, etc). The artwork is beautiful and always coresponds to the theme of the card. Also, the cards give accurate readings, though I would not reccommend this deck for beginners (if you are a beginner, I would recommend Doreen Virtue’s Healing With the Fairies Oracle Cards).
My only gripe about this deck is that the cards are horribly thin and for the price paid for this deck, I would have hoped for significantly better card stock used for the cards. This is also the reason why I don’t use these cards too often, I am afraid to damage these cards that would to easily, especially considering how expensive they were. This is also the reason why these get four stars instead of five. Had the cards been of better quality, there would be five stars listed next to my name.
However, the artwork is beautiful, so any fan of Amy Brown or of fairies will appreciate this deck as it combines both the light and dark, playfulness and seriousness of fairies.
