Kate Forsyth's Fairytale Oracle
Find your way through the dark forest of life.
Inspired by bestselling author Dr. Kate Forsyth's childhood and infused with enchanting dark fairytale elements, this beautiful oracle deck is perfect for those who seek guidance. It offers a unique and magical journey stunningly illustrated, all packaged in an exquisite keepsake box.
Dr Kate Forsyth explores eleven of the world's most powerful fairytales in this beautifully written and illustrated oracle. You will learn where they came from, what they mean, and how you can turn to them for guidance. Fairytales are not merely stories designed to enchant and entertain; on a more profound and mysterious level, they explore very real and difficult human dilemmas, warn us of dangers, and give us the tools we need to overcome those hazards.
Legends and fables are as old as language: as long as people have been speaking, they have passed down their wisdom encoded in the form of stories of wonder and transformation through the dark thorny forest of life. They show us the way forward and give us hope. We can outwit the ogres that seek to entrap us if we are brave enough and strong enough.
