Do you believe in fairies?  Even if you don’t, you might just find yourself enchanted with the Woodland Wisdom Oracle Cards from Rev. Frances Munro and artist Peter Pracownik (US Games ISBN 978-1-57281-691-6).

Rev. Frances Munro is a channeler and her guide directed her in choosing each character in this deck as well as the interpretations.  Her guide also helped her select the right artist: fantasy artist Peter Pracownik is an incredible talent and the perfect person to bring these characters to life.  The images are breathtaking with beautiful details and lush colors.  (Obviously, her guide has pretty good taste!) 

 

This sweet little deck consists of 29 cards.  Twenty four of these cards are green “Working Wisdom Cards” and the rest are “Gold Power Cards”.  The cards are big and printed on good, firm cardstock.  Although the deck is larger than a standard one, the smooth finish and sturdiness make them a breeze to shuffle.

 

The back of the card has a reversible circle image with mushrooms and fireflies on a pea green background.  The deck also comes with a little white book, which contains instructions for working with the cards and interpretations.

 

Unlike a traditional tarot deck, Woodland Wisdom is one to use when you are seeking guidance on an issue.  The method is simple: separate the green and gold cards.  Shuffle the green ones and focus on your problem.  Put the cards facedown and choose three with your left hand.  Then shuffle the gold cards but only pick one.  

The first three represent past concerns, what is going on now, and what you should be doing in the future.  The single gold card brings “greater awareness of the power you have within”.  

Using the instructions, I focused on a situation that was concerning me.  I got:  Foxglove Fairy, Grass Fairy, Leprechaun and my gold card was the Fairy Princess of Winter Flowers.  

 

The interpretation: “There are many things around you that you do not understand.  You are aware of a need to move on in your life but you don’t know how.  Feel the power that is inside you waken your senses and stir your values.  It is time to lift that unwelcome weight so that you can see that there is a joyful way forward.  Realize now that this is the right time for you to move on, for you have exhausted the pathway that you have already trodden.”  This fit my scenario to a T and was advice that I took to heart.  

I would recommend this deck to anyone who enjoys working with oracle decks as well as those who are looking for a simple tool for personal development.  This is also a great deck for people who love fairies and will no doubt delight young and old alike.

Blessings!
