Nearly two years after you filmed this, I am doing a similar study, and everything you said as someone just trying to understand these energies is what I would say now. Spot on. Very cool to hear your process and see your decks.
I recently started getting interested in faes as well with the Hidden Realm and the Forest Fae being my two favourite decks. No other deck that I have gives me to the point readings as the Hidden Realm and it‘s a very beautiful, intense deck. If you are interested in getting to know more about faes and love a good art book, I recommend getting Faeries Of The Faultlines by Iris Compiet; she makes the most enchanting drawings ever.
I'm so glad that you've given some love to the Tarot of the Hidden Realm, it's one of my favourite decks as well, I love it's deep meditative energy, it's very nurturing and gentle and the guidebook is amazing. I definitely recommend getting the full sized guidebook for the Mysic Faery Tarot because the stories in each suit are wonderful, they reflect the progression of each suit in the tarot so its wonderful. Enjoy tapping into and connecting with the energy of the fae and the Faeries.
I love the Hidden Realm deck too, such a wonderful world. I did end up buying the box set for the Mystic Faerie, so I do have the full guidebook now. Just started diving into it this week. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
wow I just loved this video so much. I'm a Brazilian guy and I've been studying English for a long time and I am impressed with the quality of your speaking. I hope one day to reach this level of speeding and not losing my thought while I speak. I'll watch all your videos, lady
Brian’s Faerie decks are very trickster, and they can be harsh and won’t take any BS, but they can also be very understanding and act as wise guides. I have HR, FL, SoftheF, Sidhe, Elisabeth on Earth was a very otherworldly Fairy : Fae energy to it, I thinks its the whole hidden face thing, Tarot of the Guardian is also very dryad energy
Beautiful collection !!!! Your Fairy Lights looks AMAZING trimmed !! 🤯 For some reason I thought you would show the Victorian Fairy Tarot. It's such a precious one ...😍
I would have if I had that one! I have the app but no Victorian Fairy Tarot deck yet. Haven't been able to find it for a reasonable price, but I would love to have it someday. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I loooove my Tarot of the Sidhe so much! It’s exactly for me how u described…when I need strength or for me a fire in me…in a good way. I’m an Aries & I feel like it is so much fire along with the other elements but it just gets me. I vibrate when I hold it…it’s a feeling I crave when I get a deck. I am really liking The Forest Fae…I haven’t found any kind of Fairy, Fae energy Oracle that I’ve wanted to go ahead & get yet…I think you found one for me! ❤️
I actually like Forest Fae for my 22yo daughter. I’ve given her quite a few oracles but no fairy yet! Same reason I haven’t got one for myself…she has always seemed like a little fairy to me…we found out she has a green thumb since she was a toddler. Also used to have to empty all the leaves, twigs, crystals, rocks from her pockets all the way until she moved out.😬
How wonderful, I'm so glad you found something to explore. The Tarot of the Sidhe is definitely up there in my favorites list for sure! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I'm so happy you made this video, I recently had the Radleigh Valentine deck come into my life unexpectedly and I absolutely love it and so I have also suddenly been called to work with Fae/Fairy energy but I'm new to it too so its nice to see your journey :)
Oh the synchronicities 🙏🏼✨ I too did recently hear the call of the Fae and bought some Fae/ Fairy Decks and looked in my collection which ones I already had on that theme. Thank you for this lovely video 🧚♀️
Oooh enjoy entering and learning more about this realm! It's absolutely amazing! I've been working with the fae for around 25 years. It's been quite a journey. I still have so much to learn. Have fun with it all♡ just ordered Forest Fae because of this video..lol I love it!♡
I love your videos, your perspective and wisdom, and artistic talent, wow. I can't devote much time to my tarot decks but the experience so far has been amazing. Thank you so much again!
I have yet to work with The Fae either! I would agree in your categorization wholeheartedly: fairy: human perception of what a Fae may look like in our world versus the Fae: the overall collective archetypal energy of elemental entities. This is how I see energies/deities as a whole anyway. Have you heard of the Angelarium Oracle of Emanations? A deck of otherworldly Angels from Lurianic Kabbalah whose appearances are quite Fae-like, and we as humans attempt to view them as these beautiful humans with white wings and a halo.
Huge Fairy/Fae/Fairie fan (and whatever other labels we call this energy! 😂) My town pre-pandemic used to hold a "FaeryFest"!

Love this video, loved hearing your thoughts about this topic re Fairy and Fae energies .. Gave me something to think about re the decks I Use ... Thanks for sharing your thoughts ...I may have to pull out all my Fairy, Fae decks to look at ..
I really enjoyed your explanation, made perfect sense to me. I have the Brian Froud Faeries Oracle and quite frankly don't use it because it feels very alien to me. Thank you for sharing. 😃😃💙
The exercises in the guidebook are great tools to connect with the deck. My issues with the deck neither alien nor trickstery energy but the "male gaze" and that I still miss diversity in the deck. Nude female sprytes, the energy lights the alien creatures and some more ... feels quite limited. Missing the animal messengers like fox and white animals with red ears, those related to roots and branches, the moss beings, the ones related to night - fog - death - dream, the shapeshifters, the insect like ones, ...
Love this video. I have always had a fascination with fairy, but as I mature, I am drawn a lot more to more of the Fae energy. I have the Faery Oracle by Lucy Cavendish, and it was one of my first oracles. What I have found with it is that I only ever receive less than 10 of the same cards over the many years that I have had it when I pull from it hahaha. I honestly have never really seen any of the others and as you did the walk through I was like, oooh there are some cool cards in there that I never get hahaha. I have always wanted to expand my deck collection with more fairy/fae decks, but always found that I never felt grounded enough working with them. But now I know which ones I would be better suited to, so thank you for this video, and I cant wait to hear how your journey goes!
I am so glad you found some new decks to check out! I'm just starting out with this type of work/energy so my collection is small compared to what's available. But I think I've got a good start on it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
The Fairy tarot by Radleigh Valentine is one of my favorite tarot decks of all time. I started with this deck when I first started my tarot journey in 2019. The only thing I don't like about the deck are the images and the suit names. I prefer the elements like in the angel tarot rather than the seasons. But absolutely love the phrases that are on each card. I've used this deck for both my personal spiritual practice and as a working deck for clients. 🙂
Loved this video! And yes, it made a lot of sense, it actually was a bit of a aha! moment for me, putting into words what I felt but didn't really consciously know. I have several of the decks! Hidden Realm is my favourite tarot deck, and I'm a huge Selina Fenech fan, so... I'm missing the lo scarabeo Fey Tarot. It's the otherworldly energy while still being whimsical. For me one of the most intuitive decks out there.
I am so glad it made sense and that you enjoyed it! I'm still learning, but it's a start. I haven't seen the Fey Tarot, I'll have to check that one out. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
You make total sense to me. I really like the way you are breaking it down to get the feel for them and for it to make sense. I really like how the Fairy Lights Tarot makes scenes when together. There is one deck i think you might like. The shop has been on a short break ,but i think they are opening today or very soon and that Deck is Forest Creatures Tarot by Tarocco Studio on Etsy. They actually had two versions. The first and second edition and they are a little bit different as some of the cards have changed in the second edition. I love them both. The only thing is the little ( white book ) Is very hard to read. It is a little better in the second edition but the cards are pretty. I just started pairing them with The Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Linn .I hope you are having fun with the Faeries and the Fae. They seem to be attracted to shiny objects lol . I have this pair of pyrite earrings and they kept steeling one or both for months one time . It was quite annoying at the time but they always put them back so all is good lol. Take care and have a lovely day 💘
@@DawnMichelleTarot I just thought of an oracle you might like. Fairy Wisdom Oracle, Deck and book set by Amy Brown and Written by Nancy Brown. Amazon still has it. 😊💜
I have Mystic Faerie, still learning the deck.. My next purchases will be Shadowscapes - Stephanie Pui Mun and then Releasing on November 2nd, Enchanted Soul - Yasmeen Westeood. I can't wait 🤗 🦋 Loved your video 💜💚
I’d highly recommend The Faeries Oracle by Brian Froud. As he does a write up for each card, with a upright interpretation as well as a reversed interpretation. I feel he captured Fae in the most natural energy. That I have seen. That is my own personal experience though.
First, you made sense to me the entire way through. It was interesting to hear how you see the decks and faerie versus fae. I'll be honest, I clicked hoping to see a Brian Froud deck, lol. Especially as you talked about the fae natural energy and looking for oracle decks. But I understand your reasons for now working with one of his decks yet. I personally can't really work with other faerie decks because I've used his for so long. Watching this I can see working with the little Forest fae deck. It does have a slightly similar feel. But up until now, I'd never felt that this type of energy could match well in a tarot setting. But the Mystic Faerie Tarot I might give a try. It gives more of a fairy tale vibe but that's okay. I wish I could give other recommendations but I can say how I've worked with the Brian Froud decks. Meditations with a card a month and also traveling with the cards. Those two decks have probably seen the most outdoors time than any of my other decks. I used to travel a lot for work, so I took them all over the country and even overseas. Definitely decks I have anthropomorphized to an extent. But they definitely appreciated it. There was journaling as well as some other things in the books. Sorry this is so long. But I hope you enjoy your faery/fae journey.
Hopefully I'll be ready for a Brian Froud deck soon, that deck is just full of energy. Thank you for sharing how you work with it, I'll give that a try! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Tarot of the Hidden Realm is to me very Celtic - English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh.... at the possible time of this period of faery/fae they were all Caucasian. Love this deck.
Oh, my favorite topic! I always loved the different ways to see Fairies and Fae, always loved actual "Fairy" Tales and the different legends and myth from different cultures. "Mystic Faerie" is on my wishlist for spring, so is "Hidden Realm" for fall. Never seen the "Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle" before and I don't have a Fairy Oracle so far, so that's on my wishlist now, too :D (Unfotunaly I can't work with decks that feature different artist, cause the ""Dragonfae" looks interesting, but to many cards I just visually don't like...)
I didn't realize Dragonfae was different artists either when I got it, I'll be interested to see how it works out as I'm usually not a fan of that. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
As far as the Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle......I didn't want the one with the borders so I was a little put off by that at first but that thing is BANG ON when it comes to readings!!! I have a few of the decks you mentioned and some on my wish list!! Also added two to my wish list!! I am VERY into the Brian Froud decks!! My goal is to get my hands on The Heart of Faerie Oracle by him but it's super expensive because it's no longer being printed!
I'm thinking of just trimming the borders off mine since I can't seem to find the previous edition anywhere. Glad to know it's a good reader tho, I'm looking forward to getting to know it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
If you study Irish folklore, you will understand that the sidhe are human-like creatures that live in the Otherworld. They are not disembodied or winged or elemental energies. They can be mistaken for humans.
Yes, for me, the Sidhe are kinda what we often see as "elves" in different stories. Very humanoid, but not from this world or sphere. But for me they (and elves in general) are fae creatures. But for me fairies, elves, nymphes, pixies, trickster, goblins, trolls, kelpies (and other animals) and so on are ALL fae.
That's on my list of things to dive into as well! Do you have any resource recommendations? I'm excited to learn more about all the different energies and aspects. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
This was a really fun video to watch especially as I also haven’t done much work or study of these energies, partially because it feels a little intimidating honestly! I have the same reaction to the Brian Froud decks…like I need to approach them with respect.
Same, I've always been a little hesitant with it, but I think working my way through in this sort of deepening progression has been helpful. I've also got a couple books to help me out, a beginners guide and then a book with a little more depth for after. It's fun. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
The Mystic Faery deck I have has borders but also the book with the stories. Yeah the valentine fairy tarot isn't my fav art either... but I do own it. Yes wild wisdom! The gloss im.not a fan of and I wish I could cut the edges, I'm not good at mods lol. I look at fae as an overview which includes faery and unicorns and myth etc. But I can see your view of it and I do like the bridging... Love all the decks. I own a lot of fae and fairy decks. I love fairy lights and fully believe it goes into the other realm. Thanks for sharing.
I'm really just beginning my journey and still learning but that's the way my brain kinda organized it just to help me grasp the energy I think. I'll be interested to see how things change as I learn more. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I’ll be honest, when I think of fairies, I think of 5 year olds and emo kids. It’s really kept me away from fairy decks in general. But I keep eyeing the Arthur Rackham and the the Brian Froud fairy decks. They remind me of an 80s fantasy movie, like Legend. Not everyone is nice, mistakes have consequences, the world isn’t a Disney movie. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for helping me see things in a new light. RIP my paycheck!
Ooh, I never thought about them as like Legend (one of my favorite movies from the 80s) now I have to take another look at the Rackham and Froud decks in this new light. Thank you so much for sharing that insight! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot I have just started using the Fairy Oracle by Arthur Rackham. It's my first Oracle deck (I'm earlie in my Tarot journey) and a first for dipping my toe into Fairy/Fae energy. I'm so pleased to have found your adventure into this realm. I found your presentation so helpful. The Rackham oracle feels like coming home to me but now I need to find a Fairy or Fae tarot deck. I'm so looking forward to walking alongside you as you explore. Many Thanks.
My favourite faerie tarot deck is "twilight realm ... a tarot of faerie" by Beth Wilder it's a beautiful deck that in my opinion is very overlooked. I dont know if it's because of the black backgrounds and the art seems to be done in chalk or pastels... it's a mix of human and creatures .. I find it reads really well .... it's a deck close to my heart .
For decks to add......Oracle of the Fairies by Karen Kay. And The Good Tarot, maybe not totally Fae but there are some otherworldly images in the deck, by Colette Baron-Reid!!
I've been eyeing that Oracle of the Fairies as I've heard good things about it. I have the Good Tarot but I turned it into an oracle. Never really thought about it as fairy energy, but I could totally see that. 🙂
Bonjour Michelle, quelle surprise de voir que le 1er jeu que tu présentes, c'est un tarot que je possède depuis....20ans....et mes cartes ont une bordure vctorienne, du coup, je n'arrive pas à entrer dans le jeu .....je sens que je vais bricoler....merci pour la vidéo
I do have that one I know, maybe it's just they are so similar that's why I feel like I've had it in my hands before hehe. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I don't really know much about working with the fae/faeries beyond the decks I use so I'm not entirely sure what classifications there are. Sorry I can't be more help!
I’m not sure if you’ll be reading this as it’s a late response but I just came across your video and I absolutely agree on your take of the fairy/fae spectrum of how they are portrayed. Honestly, I have an aversion to decks where fairy are portrayed as “beautiful” to our human standards, and even worse, sexualized according to our greater society’s fantasies. I find fae energy to be playful at times, but more often than not intimidating and even frightening. And when I say playful I don’t mean “good” or having any positive feelings towards humans. I think they’re ambivalent or neutral towards us at best, malevolent at worst. In saying all this, I too found Brian Froud’s Oracle to be an exquisite portrayal of their energy, but it’s just a bit too raw and confronting for me. I’ve yet to find a fae deck I resonate with. But I recently saw one I’d like to try. Have you heard of The Old Ways Magick Oracle? I recently saw a UA-cam flip thru of that deck and to me it’s the closet portrayal (at least visually) of how I see the fae world. There are images that include both nature and animals but these elements exist in the fae world too, perhaps all the more prominently. 💖
I did end up coming back to the Froud faeries and we are slowly finding out way together. I have seen the Old Ways deck, it's beautiful. I might pick that one up at some point. :)
I left out all the decks, that use that flowery, Victorian, angelic imagery ... for I deem them to be misguiding. The Forest Fae ... is imho the best deck to start out ... for besides all the cuteness ... there is still the wild, wyrd, otherworldly, odd, somewhat dangerous energy of the good neighbours in it. My other decks featuring the fair folk are: Brian Froud's Faery Oracle (with Rankle, Master of Pranks [google it, please] sometimes taking the place of "The Faerie Guide") The Card Deck of the Sidhe Tarot of the Sidhe Olde Fae playing cards
@@DawnMichelleTarot Oh ... forgot about the decks that I deem to be good in introducing to the good folk energy: The Shadowscape Tarot and The Tarot of the Enchanted Forest. Best wishes and blessings for your journey beyond the hedge ...
I have the deck that has a black and white side and the colour one, I COULD NEVER EVER ACTUALLY GET TO WORK WITH IT, it's so sad since it was given to me as a gift by my aunt for a Cbristmas, but the fact that I can see the sides it makes it so difficult to me to use it,,, If someone knows how to read that thing I would be so thankful 😅
If you are interested in books helping clear up misinformation regarding the distinction between humans, the Sidhe, and nature spirits/ elementals both Conversations with the Sidhe by David Spangler and Birth of a New Consciousness by Jaap van Etten are good place to start.
Thank you so much for the recommendations. I am just starting out so I am definitely looking for more information. My knowledge is very basic and beginner right now but I'm excited to learn more. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
is there a way to contact you? i have a screenshot of this deck this girl was using but she never mentioned the name of the deck, and i'm wondering if you'll be able to help figure out the name of it. 😢
My email address is on my channel page, however I don't know if I will know the deck. :) You might try posting in one of the tarot FB groups, they are excellent at identifying decks. Hope that helps!
IDK why but fae energie sounds a little dark for me... Everytime I think of getting a faerie themed tarot or oracle deck I take a look at them and they all look creepy, lol, I don't think I'd be able to connect with them. The only one I have is the Shadowscapes Tarot that I use for the shadow energy in readings, hahahaha.
I could see that, I've heard alot of people steering clear of fae/fairy decks for that same reason. So you're definitely not alone there! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Im kinda with you there. Although I do have The Secret Forest Tarot and I feel that that has a really mature caring energy from the creatures in it, not mischievous and sinister like many decks I’ve seen. This might sound weird, but I don’t think they like to represented in a way that diminishes their dignity as so many decks have done.
@@DawnMichelleTarot thank God, I've thought I was the weird person that doesn't connect with that kind of energy, hahaha! Once I bought the Tarot of the Sidhe (yeah, I know, lol), but Amazon canceled my purchase, so I took that as a sign to buy another deck, that's when I bought the Shadowscapes. The Brazilian version has a weird black aditional border on the title area that looks perfect after trimming, hahaha. Some decks are really beautiful like the Tarot of the Hidden Realm, but others represent the Faeries almost alien like, that really creeps me out... 😖
@@M155ABYSS I totally agree! The Tarot of the Sidhe creeps me out with that alien like faeries, I've thought of getting that one to do some shadow work, but I just can't connect with it... There's one that's forever on my wishlist, it's the Forest of Enchantment Tarot, I think that's just kind and beautiful like it should be represented, only good vibes. 😊
You add so much, it hurts my heart to hear you apologize so much for simply exploring this topic. What has the world come to that we are so afraid to speak? I am criticizing our culture, not you!
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I know that some people have a very dedicated practice to the fair folk and I just wanted to be very clear that I'm just learning and in no way trying to step on anyone's established practice or belief. But I know what you mean! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

The exercises in the guidebook are great tools to connect with the deck.
My issues with the deck neither alien nor trickstery energy but the "male gaze" and that I still miss diversity in the deck. Nude female sprytes, the energy lights the alien creatures and some more ... feels quite limited.
Missing the animal messengers like fox and white animals with red ears,
those related to roots and branches, the moss beings, the ones related to night - fog - death - dream, the shapeshifters, the insect like ones, ...
Love this video. I have always had a fascination with fairy, but as I mature, I am drawn a lot more to more of the Fae energy. I have the Faery Oracle by Lucy Cavendish, and it was one of my first oracles. What I have found with it is that I only ever receive less than 10 of the same cards over the many years that I have had it when I pull from it hahaha.
I honestly have never really seen any of the others and as you did the walk through I was like, oooh there are some cool cards in there that I never get hahaha. I have always wanted to expand my deck collection with more fairy/fae decks, but always found that I never felt grounded enough working with them. But now I know which ones I would be better suited to, so thank you for this video, and I cant wait to hear how your journey goes!
I am so glad you found some new decks to check out! I'm just starting out with this type of work/energy so my collection is small compared to what's available. But I think I've got a good start on it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
The Fairy tarot by Radleigh Valentine is one of my favorite tarot decks of all time. I started with this deck when I first started my tarot journey in 2019.
The only thing I don't like about the deck are the images and the suit names. I prefer the elements like in the angel tarot rather than the seasons.
But absolutely love the phrases that are on each card. I've used this deck for both my personal spiritual practice and as a working deck for clients. 🙂
I'm looking forward to getting to know it, I do really like the way Valentine approaches the decks. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
thank you for sharing your journey ♡♡
I am so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Loved this video! And yes, it made a lot of sense, it actually was a bit of a aha! moment for me, putting into words what I felt but didn't really consciously know. I have several of the decks! Hidden Realm is my favourite tarot deck, and I'm a huge Selina Fenech fan, so... I'm missing the lo scarabeo Fey Tarot. It's the otherworldly energy while still being whimsical. For me one of the most intuitive decks out there.
I am so glad it made sense and that you enjoyed it! I'm still learning, but it's a start. I haven't seen the Fey Tarot, I'll have to check that one out.
🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
You make total sense to me. I really like the way you are breaking it down to get the feel for them and for it to make sense. I really like how the Fairy Lights Tarot makes scenes when together. There is one deck i think you might like. The shop has been on a short break ,but i think they are opening today or very soon and that Deck is Forest Creatures Tarot by Tarocco Studio on Etsy. They actually had two versions. The first and second edition and they are a little bit different as some of the cards have changed in the second edition. I love them both. The only thing is the little ( white book ) Is very hard to read. It is a little better in the second edition but the cards are pretty. I just started pairing them with The Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Linn .I hope you are having fun with the Faeries and the Fae. They seem to be attracted to shiny objects lol . I have this pair of pyrite earrings and they kept steeling one or both for months one time . It was quite annoying at the time but they always put them back so all is good lol. Take care and have a lovely day 💘
I am so glad it made sense and that you enjoyed it! Thank you for the deck recommendation, I will check that out! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

@@DawnMichelleTarot I just thought of an oracle you might like. Fairy Wisdom Oracle, Deck and book set by Amy Brown and Written by Nancy Brown. Amazon still has it. 😊💜
Thank you, I'll check that one out! ❤️

I have Mystic Faerie, still learning the deck.. My next purchases will be Shadowscapes - Stephanie Pui Mun and then Releasing on November 2nd, Enchanted Soul - Yasmeen Westeood. I can't wait 🤗 🦋 Loved your video 💜💚
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to check out the Enchanted Soul deck, I haven't seen that! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I’d highly recommend The Faeries Oracle by Brian Froud. As he does a write up for each card, with a upright interpretation as well as a reversed interpretation. I feel he captured Fae in the most natural energy. That I have seen. That is my own personal experience though.
The deck was gifted to me, and I haven’t been drawn to work with any other decks. I’ve wanted to, but I feel they aren’t represented as this Oracle
That one is on my list to hopefully come back to and try again when I get a bit more comfortable working with the energy. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
The tarot of the sidhe (shee) is my favorite for this energy
It's one of my favorites too, so much fantastic energy in that deck. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
First, you made sense to me the entire way through. It was interesting to hear how you see the decks and faerie versus fae. I'll be honest, I clicked hoping to see a Brian Froud deck, lol. Especially as you talked about the fae natural energy and looking for oracle decks. But I understand your reasons for now working with one of his decks yet. I personally can't really work with other faerie decks because I've used his for so long. Watching this I can see working with the little Forest fae deck. It does have a slightly similar feel. But up until now, I'd never felt that this type of energy could match well in a tarot setting. But the Mystic Faerie Tarot I might give a try. It gives more of a fairy tale vibe but that's okay.
I wish I could give other recommendations but I can say how I've worked with the Brian Froud decks. Meditations with a card a month and also traveling with the cards. Those two decks have probably seen the most outdoors time than any of my other decks. I used to travel a lot for work, so I took them all over the country and even overseas. Definitely decks I have anthropomorphized to an extent. But they definitely appreciated it. There was journaling as well as some other things in the books. Sorry this is so long. But I hope you enjoy your faery/fae journey.
Hopefully I'll be ready for a Brian Froud deck soon, that deck is just full of energy. Thank you for sharing how you work with it, I'll give that a try! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
This was fun! Looking forward to seeing a video on mermaids! :-)
Right? Doesn't a mermaid video sound awesome!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'll be diving (hehe) into Mermaids next month. I'm super excited for that! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Tarot of the Hidden Realm is to me very Celtic - English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh.... at the possible time of this period of faery/fae they were all Caucasian. Love this deck.
The artist is Scottish.
Oh, my favorite topic! I always loved the different ways to see Fairies and Fae, always loved actual "Fairy" Tales and the different legends and myth from different cultures. "Mystic Faerie" is on my wishlist for spring, so is "Hidden Realm" for fall.
Never seen the "Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle" before and I don't have a Fairy Oracle so far, so that's on my wishlist now, too :D (Unfotunaly I can't work with decks that feature different artist, cause the ""Dragonfae" looks interesting, but to many cards I just visually don't like...)
I didn't realize Dragonfae was different artists either when I got it, I'll be interested to see how it works out as I'm usually not a fan of that. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
As far as the Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle......I didn't want the one with the borders so I was a little put off by that at first but that thing is BANG ON when it comes to readings!!! I have a few of the decks you mentioned and some on my wish list!! Also added two to my wish list!! I am VERY into the Brian Froud decks!! My goal is to get my hands on The Heart of Faerie Oracle by him but it's super expensive because it's no longer being printed!
I'm thinking of just trimming the borders off mine since I can't seem to find the previous edition anywhere. Glad to know it's a good reader tho, I'm looking forward to getting to know it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
If you study Irish folklore, you will understand that the sidhe are human-like creatures that live in the Otherworld. They are not disembodied or winged or elemental energies. They can be mistaken for humans.
Yes, for me, the Sidhe are kinda what we often see as "elves" in different stories. Very humanoid, but not from this world or sphere.
But for me they (and elves in general) are fae creatures. But for me fairies, elves, nymphes, pixies, trickster, goblins, trolls, kelpies (and other animals) and so on are ALL fae.
That's on my list of things to dive into as well! Do you have any resource recommendations? I'm excited to learn more about all the different energies and aspects. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
The denizens of Faerie who are human sized,can marry and reproduce with humans,need to eat and drink,and can be killed as actually white elves.
If you're interested in fairy lore, I would highly recommend books by Morgan Daimler. She also has a youtube channel.
I second this.
Wonderful, thank you so much for the recommendation. I'll check her out! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I agree. I have all of her books and she's one of the world's leading experts on everything fae.
This was a really fun video to watch especially as I also haven’t done much work or study of these energies, partially because it feels a little intimidating honestly! I have the same reaction to the Brian Froud decks…like I need to approach them with respect.
Same, I've always been a little hesitant with it, but I think working my way through in this sort of deepening progression has been helpful. I've also got a couple books to help me out, a beginners guide and then a book with a little more depth for after. It's fun. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
The Mystic Faery deck I have has borders but also the book with the stories.
Yeah the valentine fairy tarot isn't my fav art either... but I do own it.
Yes wild wisdom! The gloss im.not a fan of and I wish I could cut the edges, I'm not good at mods lol.
I look at fae as an overview which includes faery and unicorns and myth etc. But I can see your view of it and I do like the bridging...
Love all the decks. I own a lot of fae and fairy decks. I love fairy lights and fully believe it goes into the other realm. Thanks for sharing.
I'm really just beginning my journey and still learning but that's the way my brain kinda organized it just to help me grasp the energy I think. I'll be interested to see how things change as I learn more. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I’ll be honest, when I think of fairies, I think of 5 year olds and emo kids. It’s really kept me away from fairy decks in general. But I keep eyeing the Arthur Rackham and the the Brian Froud fairy decks. They remind me of an 80s fantasy movie, like Legend. Not everyone is nice, mistakes have consequences, the world isn’t a Disney movie. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for helping me see things in a new light. RIP my paycheck!
Ooh, I never thought about them as like Legend (one of my favorite movies from the 80s) now I have to take another look at the Rackham and Froud decks in this new light. Thank you so much for sharing that insight! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot I have just started using the Fairy Oracle by Arthur Rackham. It's my first Oracle deck (I'm earlie in my Tarot journey) and a first for dipping my toe into Fairy/Fae energy. I'm so pleased to have found your adventure into this realm. I found your presentation so helpful. The Rackham oracle feels like coming home to me but now I need to find a Fairy or Fae tarot deck. I'm so looking forward to walking alongside you as you explore. Many Thanks.
Have you checked out the Tarot of a Hidden Realm, it's my favorite deck that feels like that kind of energy for me. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
My favourite faerie tarot deck is "twilight realm ... a tarot of faerie" by Beth Wilder it's a beautiful deck that in my opinion is very overlooked. I dont know if it's because of the black backgrounds and the art seems to be done in chalk or pastels... it's a mix of human and creatures .. I find it reads really well .... it's a deck close to my heart .
Thank you for the suggestion! I haven't heard of that one, I'll be sure to check it out. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
For decks to add......Oracle of the Fairies by Karen Kay. And The Good Tarot, maybe not totally Fae but there are some otherworldly images in the deck, by Colette Baron-Reid!!
I've been eyeing that Oracle of the Fairies as I've heard good things about it. I have the Good Tarot but I turned it into an oracle. Never really thought about it as fairy energy, but I could totally see that. 🙂
Bonjour Michelle, quelle surprise de voir que le 1er jeu que tu présentes, c'est un tarot que je possède depuis....20ans....et mes cartes ont une bordure vctorienne, du coup, je n'arrive pas à entrer dans le jeu .....je sens que je vais bricoler....merci pour la vidéo
How wonderful! I am looking forward to getting to know that deck. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I think you had the Angels Tarot by Radleigh Valentine, it's the same layout but with different design. But I can be mistaken, lol... 😋
I do have that one I know, maybe it's just they are so similar that's why I feel like I've had it in my hands before hehe. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thanks for the video- helped clarify a lot for me. I am just curious what are the 3 classifications that many people use for fae/faeries etc?
I don't really know much about working with the fae/faeries beyond the decks I use so I'm not entirely sure what classifications there are. Sorry I can't be more help!
I’m not sure if you’ll be reading this as it’s a late response but I just came across your video and I absolutely agree on your take of the fairy/fae spectrum of how they are portrayed. Honestly, I have an aversion to decks where fairy are portrayed as “beautiful” to our human standards, and even worse, sexualized according to our greater society’s fantasies. I find fae energy to be playful at times, but more often than not intimidating and even frightening. And when I say playful I don’t mean “good” or having any positive feelings towards humans. I think they’re ambivalent or neutral towards us at best, malevolent at worst. In saying all this, I too found Brian Froud’s Oracle to be an exquisite portrayal of their energy, but it’s just a bit too raw and confronting for me. I’ve yet to find a fae deck I resonate with. But I recently saw one I’d like to try. Have you heard of The Old Ways Magick Oracle? I recently saw a UA-cam flip thru of that deck and to me it’s the closet portrayal (at least visually) of how I see the fae world. There are images that include both nature and animals but these elements exist in the fae world too, perhaps all the more prominently. 💖
I did end up coming back to the Froud faeries and we are slowly finding out way together. I have seen the Old Ways deck, it's beautiful. I might pick that one up at some point. :)
I use the Laurel Brown faery wisdom deck with the Tarot of the Sidhe. I’d be interested to hear what you think of it.
I don't have that one personally, but the images look beautiful. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I left out all the decks, that use that flowery, Victorian, angelic imagery ... for I deem them to be misguiding.
The Forest Fae ... is imho the best deck to start out ... for besides all the cuteness ... there is still the wild, wyrd, otherworldly, odd, somewhat dangerous energy of the good neighbours in it.
My other decks featuring the fair folk are:
Brian Froud's Faery Oracle (with Rankle, Master of Pranks [google it, please] sometimes taking the place of "The Faerie Guide")
The Card Deck of the Sidhe
Tarot of the Sidhe
Olde Fae playing cards
Wonderful suggestions, there's some I haven't heard of so I'll check them out. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot Oh ... forgot about the decks that I deem to be good in introducing to the good folk energy:
The Shadowscape Tarot and The Tarot of the Enchanted Forest.
Best wishes and blessings for your journey beyond the hedge ...
I have the deck that has a black and white side and the colour one, I COULD NEVER EVER ACTUALLY GET TO WORK WITH IT, it's so sad since it was given to me as a gift by my aunt for a Cbristmas, but the fact that I can see the sides it makes it so difficult to me to use it,,, If someone knows how to read that thing I would be so thankful 😅
Brian Froud is the first name I think of when it comes to Fae
Me too actually. I hope to get to a place where I can work with his decks. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
If you are interested in books helping clear up misinformation regarding the distinction between humans, the Sidhe, and nature spirits/ elementals both Conversations with the Sidhe by David Spangler and Birth of a New Consciousness by Jaap van Etten are good place to start.
Thank you so much for the recommendations. I am just starting out so I am definitely looking for more information. My knowledge is very basic and beginner right now but I'm excited to learn more. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
The Card Deck of the Sidhe, where Sprangler is involved is also quite wonderful.
I’m super late to comment but have you seen the Forest Faerie oracle by Lucy cavendish?
Hmm, I haven't... I'll have to check that out. Thank you!
Pretty sure the animal in the 2nd deck you weren't sure about is a ferret 😊
Thank you! I'm not very good with my animals yet, still learning that too. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
is there a way to contact you? i have a screenshot of this deck this girl was using but she never mentioned the name of the deck, and i'm wondering if you'll be able to help figure out the name of it. 😢
My email address is on my channel page, however I don't know if I will know the deck. :) You might try posting in one of the tarot FB groups, they are excellent at identifying decks. Hope that helps!
IDK why but fae energie sounds a little dark for me... Everytime I think of getting a faerie themed tarot or oracle deck I take a look at them and they all look creepy, lol, I don't think I'd be able to connect with them. The only one I have is the Shadowscapes Tarot that I use for the shadow energy in readings, hahahaha.
I could see that, I've heard alot of people steering clear of fae/fairy decks for that same reason. So you're definitely not alone there! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Im kinda with you there.
Although I do have The Secret Forest Tarot and I feel that that has a really mature caring energy from the creatures in it, not mischievous and sinister like many decks I’ve seen. This might sound weird, but I don’t think they like to represented in a way that diminishes their dignity as so many decks have done.
@@DawnMichelleTarot thank God, I've thought I was the weird person that doesn't connect with that kind of energy, hahaha! Once I bought the Tarot of the Sidhe (yeah, I know, lol), but Amazon canceled my purchase, so I took that as a sign to buy another deck, that's when I bought the Shadowscapes. The Brazilian version has a weird black aditional border on the title area that looks perfect after trimming, hahaha. Some decks are really beautiful like the Tarot of the Hidden Realm, but others represent the Faeries almost alien like, that really creeps me out... 😖
@@M155ABYSS I totally agree! The Tarot of the Sidhe creeps me out with that alien like faeries, I've thought of getting that one to do some shadow work, but I just can't connect with it... There's one that's forever on my wishlist, it's the Forest of Enchantment Tarot, I think that's just kind and beautiful like it should be represented, only good vibes. 😊
You add so much, it hurts my heart to hear you apologize so much for simply exploring this topic. What has the world come to that we are so afraid to speak? I am criticizing our culture, not you!
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I know that some people have a very dedicated practice to the fair folk and I just wanted to be very clear that I'm just learning and in no way trying to step on anyone's established practice or belief. But I know what you mean! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
