The Wiccan Fairy Tarot deck is a unique and enchanting tarot deck that combines the magical world of fairies with the ancient wisdom of the tarot. This deck was created by Lo Scarabeo, an Italian publisher known for their beautiful and diverse tarot decks. As the name suggests, the Wiccan Fairy Tarot draws heavily on the principles and beliefs of Wicca, a modern pagan witchcraft religion. It celebrates the natural world and the power of the elements, incorporating elements of nature and earth-based spirituality into the traditional tarot symbolism. The artwork of the Wiccan Fairy Tarot is vibrant and whimsical, featuring stunning illustrations of fairies, magical creatures, and lush natural landscapes. Each card is rich in symbolism and imagery, allowing the reader to dive deep into the fairy realm and access its ancient wisdom.

Having studied and undergone initiation in the Celtic and Faery traditions, she turned her focus to the native traditions of America and has studied and undergone initiation with several Shamans of Native American traditions. Publisher Hay House says about the deck In the Fairy Tarot Cards, Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine focus upon manifestation of the supply and support you need to move forward with your life purpose, make healthful changes, adjust your priorities, provide for your family and bring healing to the planet.
Each card is rich in symbolism and imagery, allowing the reader to dive deep into the fairy realm and access its ancient wisdom. The deck is divided into the traditional 78 cards, including the Major Arcana and the four suits of the Minor Arcana (Cups, Wands, Pentacles, and Swords), each with its own fairy-themed illustrations. The cards are accompanied by a guidebook that provides in-depth interpretations of each card, as well as instructions on how to perform tarot readings.

The new Fairy Tarot by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine is exquisite, with silver-edged cards and stunning artwork. It is a joy to look at and a pleasure to use because it is beautiful. It is like a collection of miniature, gem-like fairy paintings. When I first got my set I kept looking through it simply because I was enchanted by the pictures.
What the Fairy Tarot is not, is a Raider-Waite-Smith clone – deliberately.
Like Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine earlier Angel Tarot, it is designed as a gentle deck without the overly-scary images – such as the Tower or the Devil – found in common tarot sets. That doesn’t mean the essential meaning of the cards has been lost. For example, as in the Angel Tarot, the Devil becomes Ego and represents being entrapped by unnecessary anxieties and attachment to material things; while the Tower becomes Life Experience and indicates a wake-up call that a situation can no longer be ignored.
To help with interpreting the cards, all of them have a few key words at the top and a brief description of the meaning at the bottom. This makes the deck perfect for novices to tarot who want an easy way to start doing readings. The book that comes in the box contains longer descriptions of each card as well as an introduction on how to use them with basic layouts and spreads explained.
Apart from the appearance, one of the things I really like about the Fairy Tarot is that the traditional suits of wands, cups, coins and swords have been changed to seasons – spring, summer, autumn and winter. This has been done to reflect fairies as being nature spirits, but is useful for questions about when things are likely to take place.
I also found like the way the suits’ meanings translate into the energy of each season; spring as a time for growth and action, the joyful emotions summer brings, autumn’s harvest time and the biting cold of winter. But don’t let me imply that the suit of winter is all about hardship. The winter cards are, in my opinion, the most enchanting of the lot, showing sparkling ice crystals and fantastic winter scenes. One might have to wrap up warm to protect against the chill, but there is beauty to be found and, with the turning of the year, times of difficulty will pass and give way to something new.
Another thing worth mentioning is that some of the cards depict the sacred landscape of Glastonbury, including Chalice Well, the Tor and the Abbey, while some others show Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, associated with legends of the Holy Grail. These are especially nice touches for anyone who lives in the UK.

Personally, I think it is a great beginner's deck, particularly for anyone who likes fairy art.

Reviews for "Exploring Love and Relationships with the Wiccan Fairy Tarot"
1. John - 2/5 - I found the Wiccan fairy tarot deck to be underwhelming. The artwork was overly simplistic and lacked the depth and detail that I have come to appreciate in other tarot decks. The messages and interpretations also felt shallow and generic, failing to offer any profound insights or guidance. Overall, I was disappointed with this deck and would not recommend it to serious tarot enthusiasts.
2. Lisa - 1/5 - As an avid tarot reader, I was excited to try out the Wiccan fairy tarot deck, but it fell short of my expectations. The illustrations were inconsistent, with some cards looking rushed and poorly executed. The guidebook provided lacked in-depth explanations, and I found myself having to rely on my own interpretations more often than not. The messages from the fairies also felt clichéd and lacked originality. I ended up feeling disconnected and unsatisfied with this deck.
3. Robert - 2/5 - The Wiccan fairy tarot was not what I hoped for. The artwork appeared amateurish and lacked the mystical charm I enjoy in tarot decks. The guidebook provided limited explanations, leaving me confused about the meanings of certain cards. The deck does offer a unique twist on tarot with its fairy theme, but unfortunately, it failed to captivate me. I regret my purchase and would not recommend this deck to others who seek a more profound and polished tarot experience.
