Deck Review: Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle

Hi everyone! Let's a have look a one of my favourite oracle decks in my collection: Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle (2nd Edition) by Lucy Cavendish and Selina Fenech Copyright 2015 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved.

This first image is of the box. It is typically what you can expect from Blue Angel. It is nice and sturdy and will keep your cards and guidebook nice and secure. The second image to the right shows you a thumbnail of the card, its title, keywords that are also on the card itself, a description of the card, its divinatory meaning and its reversed meaning.

The cardstock: As you can see in the image above the cardstock is nice and sturdy. However, I did buy this deck when it first came out so the card texture had a glossy finish. This may have changed to a matte finish in later printings as this has become the favoured card finish for Blue Angel for a while. If you bought this deck recently, let me know if this has changed from a glossy to a matte finish.

The last two images depict what the cards look like. As you can see there's the image of the card itself, the card's number at the top of the card, the title and a few keywords for each card.

The guidebook:  The guidebook contain extensive information on how to work with faeries, faery energy, faery beliefs, when to work with the faeries, faery symbols, signs the faeries are with you, questions to ask the faery, reversals, 3 unique spreads exclusive to this deck and finally, the card interpretations. An example of what you can find in the guidebook can be seen in the second image.

Unlike her successor deck: The Faery Forest Oracle, this deck actually has reversed meanings provided with each card. 

Can you read this deck right out the box without having to rely on the guidebook? Yes, absolutely! The keywords will give you enough for your intuition go off of to where you don't necessarily need the guidebook. Especially, if you don't read reversals. However, with that being said, I would highly recommend working with the guidebook to really get to know the deck as a whole and to get the reversed meanings down.

Beginner friendly? Yes, I would say this deck is absolutely approachable to someone new to oracle cards and the guidebook will only help enhance their oracle card reading abilities.

Diversity: Unfortunately, this deck is very heteronormative and only includes white faeries. There are no LGBT+ characters nor are there characters of other races represented within the characters themselves. If this is crucial factor for you in determining whether or not to purchase this deck then keep that in mind.

How balanced is this deck? Out of the 47 cards in this deck, here is how it can be broken down to:

Positive: 24 (Upright)- 1 (Reversed)

Neutral: 19 (Upright)-3 (Reversed)

Negative: 4 (Upright)-43 (Reversed)

This deck tends to lean toward the positive when only reading this deck upright. However, it becomes more balanced when you incorporate reversals into readings. Whilst there are only 21 neutral cards in total. I do feel this deck is quite balanced enough to where you don't have to use another deck (ex: Tarot, Lenormand, Vera Sibilla, Kipper, etc) alongside it. Although, it will enhance the reading if you do choose to use it with another deck or divination tool. (Ex: Runes).

Specific theme: Faeries. This deck's aim is to answer questions related to healing and change.

Overall, this deck is great for doing shadow work over aspects of your life that need healing and for helping make positive changes in your life by guiding your in the direction you need to be in. This is especially great if you work with faeries in your witchcraft or spiritual path.

On to you? What do you think of this deck? Do you own it and use it yourself? Would you consider getting it (if you don't already have it)? Why or why not? Let me know in the comments below!

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Lenormand Reading for 30 March-06 April 2026

Hey everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using the Shapeshifter Tarot by Lisa Hunt, D.J. Conway and Sirona Knight Copyright 1998 Llewellyn Publishing All Rights Reserved, Oracle of the Shapeshifters (Australian 2nd Edition) by Lucy Cavendish and Jasmine Becket-Griffith Copyright 2015 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and the Constellation Lenormand by Two Of Owls Tarot Copyright 2020 Two of Owls Tarot All Rights Reserved. *Note: The Shapeshifter Tarot is out of print and there is no intention for it to be reprinted any time soon but you can find second hand but its going to be pricy so heads up. The Constellation Lenormand was a self-published Lenormand deck created in 2020 but the website for it is now gone and its creators are not active on social media anymore unfortunately.*

Let's get this week started with the Shapeshifter Tarot:

There was a transition that happened prematurely or something that needed to be tied up before you are able to move on from your current situation. You have successfully wrapped up a project or cycle in your life that needs to end but it has lead to confusion and made you more up to be influenced by dubious people. What requires your focus now is to realise that certain problems are only in your head and are not going to happen so I need to address these thoughts so you do project them onto others or make them become real problems. Remove yourself from toxic situations, contracts and people who only are looking out their own interests. This especially crucial when it is impacting your finances and/or physical health. Once that has been dealt with you will finally be able to move on to something better, get your mojo back and be supported by those who matter most to you and being able to reciprocate for those who need you.

Now, let's see what the Constellation Lenormand forecasts for this week:

There was resilience through someone's message that initiated a major change for you. There's stressful news about a woman in your life (or if the woman represents you then it could be you dealing with stressful news). You will get through this by having a creative idea that will come through an epiphany. It will be that "a-ha" moment. This will help you have the strength to overcome a burdensome obstacle standing in the way of accomplishing your goals. A document or package contains an untrustworthy message. Take whatever is received at face value until you can confirm that it is true. An independent woman (or yours if the woman represents you)'s mental state or creative vision (depending on your circumstances) is making an impact on the current situation. This will enable your creativity to be showcased in a positive way. Pay attention to any email message (or instant messenger app like Slack or Microsoft Teams) as it will detail an upcoming change you will need to be aware of.

Finally, let's wrap up this reading with the Oracle of the Shapeshifters (Australian 2nd Edition):

You could reconnect with someone or something nostalgic from your childhood that will let unlock the potential hidden within you by using your creativity and intuition as channel to remind you who you were and who you can eventually become. Once you embrace your full potential then you will be able to initiate this change in your daily life so that you can be alignment with where you need to be in order to thrive in your life. Even the tiniest step matters. Remember that! On top of that you will receive great news that will positively influence your life for the better. Be open to whatever comes your way.

Deck Review: The Faery Forest Oracle

Hello Everyone! Welcome to a new series on my blog where I review decks in my collection. For those of you who remember my YouTube videos from 2015-2020 will know that one of the most common videos I would make would be reviewing decks in my collections (and unboxing videos but I later had to clarify the difference because my first impressions are not the same as my impressions after working with a deck for specific period of time.) Now I have decided to go through my collection and review decks I've worked with and if this is a go-to deck, a seasonal deck (ex: Spring, Autumn, etc), for special occasion or holiday (Ex: Valborg/Walpurgisnacht, Halloween, Samhain, Birthday, etc) or for a specific ritual, spell, etc.

|Disclaimer: I purchased this deck with my own funds and not being sponsored by the publisher.|

Anyway, let's get started with the review for the Faery Forest Oracle. 

First things first: The guidebook was written by the incredibly talented Lucy Cavendish and the artwork is by Maxine Gadd- a faery artist based in Oregon in the USA.

The Cardstock: Thick and glossy. (*Note: I purchased this deck when it first came out in 2016 so the cardstock may have changed since then so keep that in mind*).

This deck has multiple borders and while the brown one give a canvas wall feeling to it the other borders feel a bit unnecessary. I have seen others trim the black borders off (and if I remember correctly a few have trimmed all 3 borders down.) If you are willing to trim the borders then go for it. Just keep in mind that it will affect the beautiful backing if that's a concern to you.

The next two images show off what you can expect from the cards themselves.

Each card has a triple border with one border that a specific colour to help distinguish it from the others. The cards themselves have the title of what the card is and has three accompanying keywords relevant for each card.

The guidebook: The guidebook contains information about the Faery Forest itself, how to work and bond with your deck, unique aspects of this deck, using your deck for magical purposes, advice on how to keep your readings pure, flowing and with integrity and 4 spreads (2 of them being unique to this deck). After that, you get a small black and white thumbnail of each card, the title of the card, the 3 keywords used on the card itself and an expanded message for each card and the original name of the artwork that Maxine Gadd assigned to each card. As you can see in the following image below:

 Whilst reversals are mentioned, Lucy Cavendish has ultimately decided not to provide reversed meanings for this particular deck.  

Can you read this deck immediately out of the box?- Absolutely. The keywords for each card make it easy to read with no matter if you read with just one card or with multiple cards in your own spreads.

Beginner friendly?- Yes, this deck can be read by those who are brand new to reading oracle cards without having to rely too heavily on the guidebook.

Diversity: Unfortunately, every single character portrayed in this deck is represented by white people. So it is absolutely not inclusive visually and each person is supposed to represent a cisgender god, goddess or other mythical faery. There's also no indication that there are LGBT+ representation. If this is a crucial factor for you when it comes to deciding on whether or not to purchase a deck, keep that in mind.

How balanced is this deck? Out of the 45 cards in the deck here is how it can be broken down to:

Positive: 20 cards

Neutral: 18 cards

Negative: 7 cards

This deck tends to lean toward the positive but there are enough neutral cards that can help balance out a reading in spite of there only being 7 negative cards in the deck. If you choose to read reversals you can also use them to help bring more balance to this deck.

Can this deck be used on its own or does it need to be accompanied by another type of deck (ex: Tarot, Lenormand, Vera Sibilla, Kipper, etc) or tool (ex: Runes, Oghams, etc)? Yes, it can be used on its own and it can also expand on a tarot (or any other type of divination deck or tool) reading.

Does this deck tend to favour a specific season over another? No, but I am sure many people may feel more called to this deck during the Spring or Summer time due to its colour-pallet. But you can definitely use this deck whenever you can.

Specific theme: Faeries. This deck's aim is to answer day-to-day questions to help you make better decisions and navigate difficult challenges sensibly.

Overall, this is a great deck for answering practical questions in your daily life or when you're busy and don't necessarily want to dive deep into an issue but rather find a more direct and to the point solution to the area inquired about.

On to you? What do you think of the Faery Forest Oracle? Do you own it and use it yourself? Would you consider getting it (if you don't already have it)? Why or why not?  Let me know in the comments below!

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Sibilla Reading for 22-29 March 2026

Hey everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using The Faery Forest Oracle by Lucy Cavendish and artwork by Maxine Gadd Copyright 2016 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved, The Witches Tarot by Ellen Dugan and artwork by Mark Evans Copyright 2012 Llewellyn Publishing All Rights Reserved and I misteri della Sibilla by Ettore Maiotti Copyright 1982 Dal Negro All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week started with The Faery Forest Oracle:

Pay attention to what's going on around. What are being saying versus what their body language is conveying? Is it conflicting in anyway? Don't take what people say at face value. Let their actions speak for them and then you will know what their true intentions will be. You may be presented with a secret or classified information that will require you to keep silent about it until it is ready to be known. Whether it's personal or professional you would do well to keep mum about it for the time being. This could also be as simple as starting a new goal. Don't tell anybody about it until you're made significant progress so it doesn't get sabotaged or you lose motivation to continue to pursue it. Let people show you who they are rather than just taking their word or others about who they are. Let things happen rather than trying to force anything as it will backfire and make you look like the bad person. Your health is recovering and you will get back into the swing of things. Whatever you had to put aside or felt burnt out from will finally be manageable again and you will be able to complete them with a renewed sense of motivation and purpose for it. Any goal or project you've had to abandoned can now be revived again. Go ahead and get back to it! Someone such as mentor, advisor or trustworthy person in your life will come to help you navigate a current obstacle you're facing and give you the tools, resources and guidance need to overcome it. If you are needing assistance now is the time to go and get it.

Moving on to I misteri della Sibilla we have:

There was a passing disappointment that could be overcome with hard work and effort to address a poor judgement call being made. This means that bullying in the workplace and a toxic work environment is enabling a career woman to step on others in other to obtain a promotion or higher position in the company for the sake of her own future. This will cause failure that will bring forth incredibly harsh consequences and forced change that's absolutely devastating for your current position or any job opportunities coming your way.

Finally, let's wrap up this week with the Witches Tarot:

Having dealt with negative people has forced you to make a crucial decision with each option being disappointing but needing to make it anyway. You need to face an issue wearing you down head on or you will never be able to move forward with your life. This appears to be influenced by a stubborn, controlling and materialistic person whose boredom is negatively impacting your current circumstances. What you can do is address the lack of discipline by putting what you have to offer out them by showing how you get things done even causes an embarrassment among those you respect. Know your worth and don't let others underestimate what you are capable of doing. The significant amount of Swords cards are definitely indicating that you need to not only communicate effectively with others but also backup what you say you can do with your actions. Express those thoughts and get out of your head!

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Vera Sibilla Reading for 17-24 March 2026

Hello everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using the Sibilla del 1890 per divinare by Osvaldo Menegazzi and Isa Donelli Copyright Il Meneghello All Rights Reserved, Wild Wisdom of the Faery (2nd Edition) by Lucy Cavendish and Selina Fenech Copyright 2015 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and finally, I am using the El Tarot de los Cuentos de Hadas ("Fairytale Tarot" Spanish Edition) by Lisa Hunt Copyright 2012 Sirio All Rights Reserved.

Let's see what the Sibilla del 1890 has  to forecast for this week ahead:

An opportunity comes as things are wrapping up but it lead to a bad start. A gossipy woman in your space is causing a misunderstanding among a group of people that is influencing someone's betrayal toward another or is highlighting how their vices are impacting everyone around them. This will lead to a void or loss of some kind due lies, power hungriness or pride causing everything to come to screeching halt and/or forcing you to finally learn from repeated mistakes of your past coming back to bite you.

Let's move on to the Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle to see what wisdom they will impart on to us this week:

A lack of preparedness is causing you to look for answers via people your own age. You aren't willing to seek advice from someone older because you either don't trust them, you feel cut off from them (e.g. friends, parents, grandparents, etc) or wanting to cut yourself of from your bloodline and where you came from. This disconnect could be due to trauma or feeling so uncertain that you aren't able to reach out the support what would be there to help you otherwise. If it doesn't feel like the "right time" then sit with why you think that is. What is missing from your current circumstances that's stopping you from moving forward? Use whatever you need to get the answers you seek such as your divination tools (e.g. tarot cards, runes, talking boards, scrying mirror, carromancy, geomancy, etc), a therapist, a trusted friend, or another trustworthy person who can look at your situation objectively and give you an answer that's beneficial to you.

Finally, let's hear from the Tarot de los Cuentos de Hadas ("Fairytale Tarot" Spanish Edition):

There was a call to action in terms of getting what needs to be done completed and this was due to a lack of money and resources or a need to ask for help when you simply couldn't do it on your own anymore. You are currently faced with a situation that you've lost control of and now you have to do damage control. Amends are being made and resources are being effectively used to make whatever needs to happen, happen. The results may not be 100% of what you wanted but you are still going to be properly rewarded and compensated either way. Just make sure you don't take on too much or you will be held accountable for anything that doesn't get done. You can't use your other obligations as an excuse. So make you sure that if you commit to something that you stick to it until it is done.
 

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Vera Sibilla Reading for 08-15 March 2026

Hello everyone! It's time for another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using the Vera Sibilla  Copyright Masenghini All Rights Reserved, The Earth Power Oracle by Stacey Demarco and Jimmy Manton Copyright 2014 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and Happy Tarot by Serena Ficca Copyright 2015 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved.

Let's start off with the Vera Sibilla and see what is forecasted for this week:

There was poor judgement call being made where a woman (sister/colleague/friend/daughter/You[if you identify as woman]/partner) went through rough time due to their partner being untrustworthy or an ulterior motive. There will be a positive change for the better coming that will feel like it came out of left field. So expect lucky wins and an opportunity that you need to jump at immediately in order to get it. There will be a celebration of some sort. This could be because of their prior success or opportunity referenced or it could be a birthday, wedding, graduation, birth of a child, a date, a vacation or holiday together with your partner and/or friends or simply hanging out with people you see at bars or nightclubs. But that's not to say that there won't be slight inconveniences and set backs here. There will be delays in communication arriving and packages or letters arriving later than expected. So be patient!

There will be a someone who you thought you could trust (e.g. a boyfriend/male cousin/son/colleague/friend) who will either betray you or will not be able to help in your in your time of need and force you to deal with a harsh reality check. This will bring about unfulfilled expectations for something that you had high hopes for (e.g. a new romance, friendship, business contact, an investment or career advancement) only for it to failure or not happen at this moment in time. But do not fret. There is a reliable woman here to assist you when you need it most. You will eventually get what you want. 

Moving on to the Earth Power Oracle, let's see what destinations are going to provide use with necessary insight for our week ahead:

You have the ability to make what you want of life happen but you must first plant the seeds in order to get started and continue to nurture them so that you can achieve anything you set out to do. Don't forget to take of yourself physically and mentally to ensure that you have the energy and ability to get done what needs to be done. Help out others in their time of need when you are able to do so. (E.g. donate to charity, support a friend's crowdfunding campaign, help someone out financially (e.g. family, friends, a random homeless person, etc) but also don't let them take advantage of you. Connect with like-minded people and be willing to keep an open mind when meeting new people for the first time. Let nostalgic moments in your life remind you what you are capable of and inspire you to reach your full potential without using fear as an excuse to hold you back. Learn something new that is going to nourish your life (e.g. a new language, how to cook and/or bake, coding a website, ski lessons, etc). Share your knowledge with those who are going to benefit from it whilst also setting clear and firm boundaries about what you are willing to provide and what is completely off-limits. Show compassion to others (especially in this turbulent political climate where it matters now more than ever) even if it means showing them tough love through debunking misinformation and disinformation being spread. If you have strong influence on Social Media then it is your responsibility to use your platform to uplift others and call out propaganda justifying harm caused towards others whilst also playing victim when called out.

Finally, let's wrap up this reading with the Happy Tarot:

You need to be emotionally honest about what is going on with your current circumstances as they won't be in your favour at this time. If this is a legal issue then you will have to face the fallout when a judgement against you has been made. Life can be incredibly unfair at times but you will have support from others should you open up to them and let them know what the situation is and what can be done to resolve this issue. Do what you can to stay out of trouble (where possible) and don't do anything to make it worse. You don't need to suffer in silence. Get the help you need and let others in your space support you where they can. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Weekly Tarot and Oracle Reading for 01-08 March 2025

Hey everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using the Oracle of the Radiant Sun by Caroline Smith and John Astrop Copyright 2018 Eddison Books All Rights Reserved, Oracle of the Fairies by Karen Kay and artwork by Ginger Kelly Copyright 2019 Hayhouse Publishing All Rights Reserved and Beginner's Tarot by Kathleen McCormack and artwork by John Woodcock Copyright 2001 Quarto Inc Barron's Educational Series Inc All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week started off with the Oracle of the Fairies:

Something you've lost will be found if you are proactive about finding it. Consider where you may have misplaced it and retrace your steps. If you still cannot find it then try to obtain a replacement if it is invaluable to you. If you aren't able to do so, don't worry. There will be something better that will be of better use in your life. If you are missing someone then they will be coming back into your life soon. Be patient. If not, then accept that relationship (whether platonic, professional or romantic) has come to an end and let their influence in your life be what helps become a better version of yourself.  Believe in yourself and let yourself do what is needed to create a better change in your life. Even if you cannot currently see it at the moment. Trust that there will be better times ahead so that you can do what is necessary to bring forth a better situation in your life. Use your tools and talents to the best of your abilities. This is a great time to plan out what you want to do and be incredibly specific about how you  will pursue it. This will create better changes in your life and help you address issues repeating themselves in your life so that you can change course for the better.

Moving on to the Oracle of the Radiant Sun. Let's see what this astrological oracle forecasts for this week:

Do what you can to take care of your health (mental and physical) because you may be too stressed out by someone pressuring your to get something done within a specific deadline or you having to get someone to do something they are not motivated in doing. You will have the opportunity to either be visited from someone from overseas, travel abroad, learn a new language that will enrich your life (either by using it in your daily life or eventually living in a country that speaks that specific language), be mentored by someone who will ultimately get you in a position to get promoted or find the most ideal career option for you; Or due to the current political environment of the world at the moment, you may be forced to do something for a political means to initiate a change for a better world. You are being asked to rearrange your schedule based on your goals in a realistic manner because the current way of doing things isn't working for you anymore.  Being tempted by others leads to acting on impulse that will cause a loss of some kind in your life and can only bring forth extreme jealousy which will be destructed to you. Use discernment with who you trust and don't let people set you off when something unexpected happens.

Finally, let's wrap up this reading with the Beginner's Tarot:

 Spending time with friends will help you drop unnecessary burdens and more time for yourself. This will allow you to better reflect on where you are and where you need to be. Be patient when you aren't able to make changes you desire. Keep making progress even if you cannot immediately see it at the moment. It will be significant later on. Be careful with speculative spending and use your money where it is going to best benefit you rather than recklessly wasting money or resources on something useless or something that provides instant gratification or gives you a dopamine hit. If you are struggling with money and resources then you are being encouraged to find something or someone helpful to help you get back on track so that you aren't suffering. Your determination with your actions will be what makes you successful with your goals this week. Don't rely on luck nor take huge risks or it won't go well for you. If you are feeling unlucky lately then know that you luck with eventually change for the better but it is not going to happen for a while. Good luck will come to you but it happen at moment where you least expect it and after a struggle has been overcome.

Your situation is improving and you will get what you want but it may not be exactly what you wanted, how you expected it or 100% perfect but it is still a good outcome regardless. It is something to celebrate even if it is a small victory. It still matters and will make a difference later on. Especially, when it comes with a difficult choice that needs to be made as a result of having the means to solve a problem through your intellect and strong mindset.
