The record
What an incredible deck! Gorgeous, borderless art, combined with a lovely sojourn into the world of fairies. And the backdrop is one my favorite eras the Victorian era! We get the flower lore of the Victorians, with the magic that is the fairy realm. Beautiful, tasteful art, combined with careful research and clear, concise writing. Very representative of its time. The 78 cards are accompanied by a 253 page book entitled the Victorian Fairy Companion. The cards follow traditional lines, with the following Major Arcana cards being renamed: Magician/Conjuror, High Priestess/Seeress, Hierophant/Vicar, Lovers/Fairy Bride, Strength/Fortitude, Wheel of Fortune/Wheel of Time, Justice/Magistrate, Hanged Man/Hanging Fairy, Devil/Goblin Market, Tower/Burning Oak, Star/Stars, Judgment/Awakening, World/Worlds. Fortitude is VIII, Magistrate is XI. The four suits are: Wands/The Spring Court, Cups/The Summer Court, Pentacles/The Autumn Court, Swords/the Winter Court. The Court Cards are entitled Page/Herald, Knight, Queen, and King. What impresses me about this deck is its sense of reality. Weatherstone notes that the Victorians believed that there were many doors into the Fairy world. One of
