The Canon's read
Tarot Canon's own assessment, written for this catalog.
Ian Daniels's Faerie Enchantments Oracle hides its working parts in plain sight: forty cards of Celtic magick, faerie energies and deities on the faces, and, the review notes, magical correspondences printed on the backs, because the deck is designed for creating your own enchantments, not merely receiving messages. That design inverts the oracle contract; most decks end at the draw, this one starts there, the card as recipe rather than reply.
Daniels paints in the romantic-gothic register his book-cover work is known for, giving the faerie material more dusk than sparkle, and the spell-construction system makes the deck practical equipment for the enchantment-working reader. It suits practicing witches of the Celtic persuasion, spell-crafters who want their oracle operative, Daniels's art collectors, and readers bored of decks that only talk. The message-oracle mainstream fills the neighboring shelves; this deck expects you to do something about it, correspondences provided.
