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.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. Known today as 'fairytales', these ancient narratives of good and evil, joy and sorrow, and struggle and triumph are like a trail of white stones through the dark thorny forest of life. They show us the way forward and give us hope.If we are brave enough and strong enough we can outwit the ogres that seek to entrap us. In this oracle, Dr Kate Forsyth explores 11 of the world's most powerful fairytales. 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.
