Last winter I saw the Faery Oracle deck by Brian Froud online and they just spoke to me I just had to have them. I have read the book, but since then I have worked with them little and just don't feel connected to them. I know lots of people own many decks but I don't see the point. I'd rather have 1 deck and always use the same deck. I know my 1st mistake, this was my 1st deck I didnt start with a beginner deck. Should I get rid of this deck and start with another one? If I decide to I will put a post on the board for someone who wants them.

Edited to add: Well it just donned on me that I have been pregnant most of the time I have owned the deck and my attunement to anything has been off the whole time also. So maybe that explains it. I've been told its not good to work magick while pregnant.

I have the deck too and did the same thing...it was my very first deck. I didn't know at the time that there was a difference between oracle cards and tarot cards. I haven't read with them yet....I use my Universal Wiate deck all of the time. We've bonded. Anyway, since you're pregnant, I would wait until after to see if you bond then. I plan on keeping mine for a while. I just dont feel that its time to get rid of them yet. Since you're not sure yet, I would wait until you are sure that you want to get rid of them.

Thanks good idea, and good to know I'm not alone. :)

What is the difference between oracle and tarot cards anyways?
