Forest of Enchantment

Lunaea Weatherstone's third appearance in this catalog pairs her with Meraylah Allwood, the Wisdom of the Trees artist, for the Forest of Enchantment: the archetypal dark woods of northern European folklore, inhabited, as the review inventories, by humans and the wyrd company both, fair folk, witches, shifters. The pairing's pedigree shows; Weatherstone's warmth and Allwood's botanical precision make an enchanted forest that feels ecological rather than staged. The deck works the same mythic terrain as the Greenwood's legend and the Dark Wood's shadow, at a register between them: darker than cottage-core, kinder than gothic, the forest as the place where stories actually happen to people. Full structure keeps it a working deck rather than an atmosphere. It suits fairytale readers who want the woods with their dangers intact, the Weatherstone and Allwood followings converging, northern-folklore students, and anyone assembling the catalog's forest shelf into a single mythic geography. The path in is marked; the path out, traditionally, is earned.
