Oracle Of The Fairies by Karen Kay & Art by Ginger Kelly Review

29th March 2020 by Georgie xoxo 2 Comments

Oracle Of The Fairies is an Oracle Card deck dedicated to the enchanted world of fairies with illustrations by Ginger Kelly.

The creator of this ethereal oracle card deck is Karen Kay, known as ‘The Fairy Lady’ for her powerful connection to these magical beings.

Karen’s friendship with the fairies began as a young child in her grandmother’s garden where she used to collect rose petals to make perfume for the flower fairies.

Outside of her work as an author, Karen is also a singer and musician and creates fairy music with her partner, Michael Tingle, in Cornwall. Fascinatingly, Karen is also related to renowned fairy poet and author Walter De La Mare.

From all the above alone, Karen truly is the perfect communicator for the fairy realm.

And through this breathtakingly enchanted card deck, Karen will guide you to seek out fairy wisdom that will bring inspiration and solutions to everyday questions.

History of Fairies

In folklore, a faerie is one of a class of supernatural beings, generally conceived as having a tiny human form and possessing magical powers with which they intervene in human affairs.

There are over a thousand variety of faeries throughout legend and lore around the world. Almost every culture has some form of faerie being who interacts with humans. Some cause havoc and others are here to protect or help!

The spiritualists of the west tend to focus on faeries of Europe, but they do exist all over the world and can even be found in Japan, China, India and in many shamanistic cultures of Native American Indians, African tribes and Australian Aborigines! 

Faeries are highly connected to nature and take care of the natural world or what some might call the ‘elemental world’. They bring the spring and help the nature kingdom wake up from its long winter slumber.

There is just so much history about faeries that is fascinating, and if you want to read more into this, I highly recommend you do! Fairy lore is particularly prevalent in Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, and Scotland and through Scandinavia. All making up a huge part of my identity.

I also love to read about fairies in literature from the Middle Ages and in art. They appear in the writings of the Italians Matteo Boiardo and Ludovico Ariosto. Also the English poet Edmund Spenser, the Frenchman Charles Perrault, and the Dane Hans Christian Andersen, among others. 

What are Oracle Cards?

Oracle cards are an ancient and reliable way to receive spiritual guidance and detailed insights into your life. The number of cards in a deck is related to numerology.

The selection process is based on the ‘Law of Attraction’ that ensures that you’ll always choose the correct cards whose answer matches the vibration of the question.

From there, the process is very individual for your own reading. For me, I either use oracle cards to start or end my day.

At this current moment, and especially with this deck, I enjoy using Oracle Cards as a form of meditation to start my day. I find fairy wisdom particularly enlightening as I begin the day as I carry the lessons and wisdom into my day.

Before meditating with my Oracle Cards, I make myself as grounded as possible by sitting somewhere peaceful and comfortable. I then ask my guardian angels to draw close and pray for protection (Archangel Michael is the perfect angel when it comes to protection and I also love working with Archangel Chamuel).

I then like to deeply imagine a vision in my mind of a dreamy garden full of folklore and faeries. Things like this really speak to my imagination, and I adore meditating with my mind and soul like this to start my day.

For this deck, I then imagine, as Karen Kay suggests in her guidebook, that I am applying a gold cloak for protection. From there, I imagine my fairy garden and meditate on a question or something burdening my mind.

As I do the above grounding techniques, I take the deck of cards and draw them close to my heart. I then shuffle them and pick cards with my eyes closed, or sometimes from a full spread in front of me with my eyes open.

Oracle cards vary immensely in theme within the spiritual realm and thus vary in their results for me. For me, a card with love and light from faeries like this set by Karen Kay is an easy-to-use deck that is appropriate for beginners as well as those experienced with divination cards.

Ginger Kelly Illustration

The Oracle of the Fairies Oracle Cards are taken to another enchanted dimension with illustrations by the very talented Lauren, whose brand name is Ginger Kelly.

Ginger Kelly is an Australian based artist who creates stunning artwork through her Etsy Shop brimming with folklore and mysticism.

Lauren’s artworks for the Oracles of The Fairies oracle cards are mixed media photo collages that lead to a stunning effect.

For this, Lauren uses a mixture of her own photography, painting and royalty-free stock images. 

Lauren’s style and working are so unique. It is her fusion of a variety of mixed media creative elements that makes her work so special. It also deeply lifts the mysticism and magical qualities of the fairy illustrations that truly come to life.

If you’d like to purchase a print from the Oracle of Fairies Oracle Card set you can purchase postcards and exclusive prints of Lauren’s work below. I’m off to create my wishlist right now!

I also adore the bright, sparkling detail of the back of the cards. The added ‘key’ feature to me is a symbol to open your heart up to your own imagination as you journey with these cards.

Fairy Oracle Card Reading

To see how these fairies Oracle Cards look and perform I thought I would do a reading for you all.

There are many ways to do readings for yourself and for others. However whatever the aim, you can be sure that each reading will share positive and practical fairy insight, directly related to the individual/recipient’s unique energy and personal circumstances.

Using my preferable way of using oracle cards above, I picked the card ‘Solitude’.

In light of the global pandemic of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) life is uncertain for many of us throughout the world. I have been carefully considering how, what and when is the best time to discuss my thoughts about this and what I can do to help.

Until then, I feel that this card reading is something many of you will resonate with today. With this card, Karen Kay calls us to think of ‘solitude’ and ‘being alone’ as meaning we are ‘all one’ and in total harmony with everything.

The resonates even more deeply as I had just read this breathtaking take on human collectiveness and what we can learn from this period of solitude on Will Wright’s Instagram (one of my favourite accounts of all time).

There is also another meaning in this card as it can also speak to my highly sensitive friends. During this period of time, there is a bombardment of our senses by the noise and intensity of current events. As a result, sometimes honouring our need for self-care and pulling back from time to time can help us grow emotionally stronger, and thus give us an ability to help the world and others even more intimately.

For each card, and to understand a deeper meaning behind the messages, there is an accompanying guidebook by Karen Kay that is 119 pages long.

This guidebook contains details about how best to work with your cards, as well as a detailed talk about the spreads you can perform. In addition to this, the guidebook has 2 pages dedicated to the deeper meaning of each card.

In a loving conclusion, these fairy cards by Karen Kay are full of love and light from fairies who gently share their ancient wisdom and knowledge. Coupled with the stunning illustrations by Ginger Kelly, they are a must-have for fairy fans.

How many of you use and love oracle cards? What deck is your favourite? Also, if you adore fairies as much as me I’d love to know.

If you enjoyed this review of Karen Kay’s Oracle of the Fairies Cards I think you’ll love my review of Doreen Virtue’s Magical Messages from the Fairies Oracle Cards. I also have a review of the Magical Unicorn Oracle Cards right here.

Finally, for all my fae friends, there is my enchanting post all about The New Forest Fairy Festival. A must-read and experience for fairy fans!

Dear younger Georgie, These are the things I woul Dear younger Georgie,

These are the things I would have wanted you to know this time last year as you celebrate being another year older. 

You were right to choose the word abundance for this year. Although, I don’t think you truly understood the true meaning at the time. Now you’ve learnt that true abundance, magic and the blessings of the universe are within you and around you always. 

You’ll find yourself on an alchemical process of turning dis-ease to simple ‘ease’. The flowing and harmony of life. You’ll finally learn how to move through emotions rather than allowing them to calcify in your bones. You’ll utilise a sense of watery spaciousness. Like the ebb and flow of the gentle tides you watched with awe in Saadiyat Island and the Caribbean. You will become that water. All your sacred energy will be charged by these waters.

You will sink into the golden nectar of your internal world and it will keep you centred and grounded without the pressure from the external world. And there you will finally feel at peace.

Ultimately, life is going to ask you to be constantly courageous. A chance for you to be really brave again and again. So know that no matter what you choose in life you will be met with depth. But to be alive is to be connected. Look only to your own divinity. A beautiful vehicle that carries your soul through life.

Holding you more closely than I ever have before and I promise to look after you from now on. A celebration of a year around the sun means that life gives you another gift. So, keep going small whimsical one. It must be so nourishing to feel the current of life within you again. 

Love, older Georgie xoxo

One of my bucket list goals in life was to see fla One of my bucket list goals in life was to see flamingos in the wild and I got my dream this January 😭🦩.
.
Bonaire is abundant with their love for flamingos. Their airport is even pink and called 'Flamingo Airport'!
.
The Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary is one of only 4 areas in the world where Flamingos breed, making Bonaire the ultimate spot for those who love flamingos as much as me.
.
Tourists are not allowed in the sanctuary, but the birds can be watched with binoculars from the road or nearby Pink Beach. The Caribbean flamingo is also the most colourful of all species of flamingos, due mainly to the red carotenes in their diet.
.
Before I go, some flamingo facts no one asked for but I need to share (🙈): A group of flamingos is called a ‘flamboyance’. Both flamingo and flamboyance come from words referring ‘to fire’. And Flamingo comes from the Spanish and Portuguese flamengo, literally, ‘flame-coloured.’ And finally, Flamboyance comes from French, meaning ‘to flame’ or ‘flair.’ 🦩🇧🇶💓

If you have been to Bonaire, you might have spotte If you have been to Bonaire, you might have spotted the distinctive line of white salt pyramids at the southeastern end of the island. Each pyramid, roughly 50 feet high, contains approximately 10,000 metric tons of 99.6% pure salt. Within these huge mounds of crystals is the Flamingo Reserve that is protected. Bonaire is known for its love of nature and I have so many more images to illustrate this coming soon. And yes I did spot some flamingos in the wild and it was indescribably magical 😭💓🦩🇧🇶

Bon Bini to Bonaire! Along with Aruba and Curaça Bon Bini to Bonaire! Along with Aruba and Curaçao, it is 1 of 3 islands that make up the ABC Islands in the Lesser Antilles.
.
The islands are all part of the Kingdom of Netherlands and have a distinct Dutch flair compared to other islands on the Caribbean map.
.

Among its 18,000 inhabitants, Bonaire counts no less than 4 languages! Whilst Dutch is the official language, it is the colourful Papiamentu that the locals commonly use, along with glimpses of English and Spanish, as well as other languages associated with the many religious faiths found on the island.
.
With colourful architecture, and unique culture that awaits you on each of the ABC islands, it’s a trip that you’ll forever cherish. And honestly, I’m VERY seriously thinking about moving into these colourful flamingo buildings🦩😍❤️
.
Much more from Bonaire soon. Has anyone been? Or to the Caribbean? I’d love to know! 🇧🇶

The history of the Caribbean is rich with adventur The history of the Caribbean is rich with adventurous tales, blended cultures, and natural diversity.
.
The most important thing I wanted from this trip back in January was to connect deeply to this history and the beautiful souls who call the Caribbean home.
.
From meeting artists in Barbados, to the honour of meeting Carib-Indians in a community in Dominica, I feel so thankful for the blessings of this trip that has enriched an even more powerful exploration of what it means to connect through our shared compassion and humanity.
.
I’ll be posting them on my blog so I’m not restricted by words and images and post when they are up (I can’t believe it’s 10 years since I opened this space!).
.
But before I go, I was really touched by an interview I watched recently between @brenebrown and @chasejarvis. In it, Brene calls for ‘a minstry of presence’ with people and how this and empathy are the most powerful gifts we can bring to the world.
.
I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this because I truly believe that wherever we are today, even just as we move through this online landscape, and through our own communities in the safest way we can now, that arriving with our full presence and the deepest empathy we can bring is a form of medicine that is indescribably powerful.
.
I met so many people on my travels who just long to tell their stories and talk to us. I feel so privileged to share these stories and that I have your presence with me as I share them 🇦🇬☀️

I was just looking through some of my photos from I was just looking through some of my photos from the Caribbean and this capture of a Rainbow in Bonaire really spoke to my heart and soul.
. 
Rainbows are one of the most potent reminders of hope as they often appear when the sun follows a heavy rainfall. They serve to remind us that there is hope and light to follow even after dark times.
.
Now, more than ever, we need hope. For if we are to sink into the uncertainty the world is facing right now, the most natural thing to do is to succumb to hopelessness and despair.
.
But in the midst of this suffering and in times like this I know it can seem impossible to find hope.
.
But ultimately hope helps us process the uncertain times to blossom into something beautiful. Even if it’s fleeting in our imagination.
.
This year, the arrival of spring has reminded me of the powerful message of hope that the sacred rhythm of the universe brings.
.
For the light begins to shine brightly once more, animals emerge once again, and plants and flowers ‘spring’ into bloom.
.
And just as the bulbs of blooms come to break through the earth searching for the sunlight, I hope so dearly that this message of hope will give you a glowing golden light at the end of the tunnel to lean into.
.
Because I am always determined, even when it feels impossible, to remain focused and hopeful on my quest to find the gold at the end of all 🌈s 💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈 (from Whimsy Wednesday April 2020)

The Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral with its g The Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral with its golden domes dominates the city and is a symbol of Sofia. Started in 1882 it was finished in 1912 and named after the patron saint of the Russian Tsar Alexander II who was in power at the time.
.
The peal of its 12 bells can be heard from 30km away and it is considered to be the largest operating Eastern Orthodox church in the Balkans. Inside you can see wonderful icons, huge chandeliers and the royal thrones.

I thought this stunning spot was the perfect place to end my adventures in Sofia and now I’m going to get back to savouring every single second I have left here in the UAE 🇧🇬❤️
