A lovely set of Oracle cards and book. After reading this book and using the cards I am looking forward to getting to know the cards and dragonfae better. I'm really pleased I bought these and will enjoy working more closely with them.

Well. The art is nice. I couldn't relate to it. It was just too fantasy/made up for me and the way the booklet was structured and the cards were explained just didn't jive with me personally.
It was "okay" for me, but I hope that for others it will be helpful and fantastic of course.

Несмотря на все препятствия, ожидавшие меня в начале знакомства с книжицей ( http://tadrala.livejournal.com/153076... ), я всё-таки пробилась до её конца.
Руководство содержит небольшое вступление, раскрывающее, кто такие dragonfae, о которых пойдет речь дальше. За ним следует описание 43 карт оракула с черно-белыми иллюстрациями и разделами: послание персонажа (N speaks), о персонаже (about), значение в гадании(divinatory meaning), проработка персонажа (working with). Завершают книгу небольшой биографический очерк об авторе (Lucy Cavendish) и художниках.
Описания карт - личный откровения автора от контакта с миром фейри. Я бы уточнила - австралийских. Именно такими я бы их и представляла в современном мире - эклектичных, несущих в себе частичку тех земель, что осыпали на берегах материка переселенцы, тут же растворившуюся в песках Австралии.
К сожалению, не смотря на четкую структуру руководства, автору не удалось раскрыть систему оракула - видимо, это отдается на откуп читателю. Описания карт - фиксация откровений, которые достаточно бессистемны, даже больше, чем некоторые эмпирические классификации мифологических тварей.
Но должна признать, что при всей моей нелюбви к визионерской эклектике, подход интересный. Автор безусловно что-то интересное уловила и попыталась донести до потенциальных пользователей оракула. Осталось проверить - насколько он рабочий. И главное - добыть ему большой мешочек.

As always, Lucy has yet made another beautiful deck, always balanced, uplifting and inspiring. Their artwork is beautiful, dark and bright. It has a little something in it for everyone.

The only thing I do not like about her decks is the book that comes with them. I find they are too much to read on one card and I find myself thinking, 'get to the point already.' I also at times, find they are not clear, and leave me wondering what riddle I now have to work out. If it wasn't for the book, I've give these cards, five stars.

I adore this set of oracle cards, they are so beautiful and I find more meaning in each card every time I use them for a reading. If you have a love of dragons and the fae, I highly recommend this oracle set.
