Your favorite oracle decks for reading in spreads and combining with tarot?

Thank you sweetie  <3 That fairies deck has such a nice vibe to it and the artwork is stunning! I do not doubt that it will end up in my collection soon  ;). A little off topic but have I ever told you about how fairies and wee folk was quite a big feature of my childhood? My grandfather believed in them and used to tell me stories and educate me on all things important regarding them (he also believed in gnomes and nature goddesses and such). I was never told stories of Vikings or Norse mythology, because that had never been a true part of the ‘old ways’ in which my granddad was raised. (He practiced a bit of Norse shamanism as well). So I am not a complete stranger to this topic and I actually felt a bit nostalgic looking at those pictures  :)

Well then I think you should just go ahead and get this deck safely in your possession.  It has been around since like 2000 so one never knows when it might go away (which would be a crime).

 

Oh, you enabler! (I just ordered it)  :party:

 

I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it!  It was my very first deck years ago, and I think that it really shaped who I've become as a diviner tbh.  I don't use it as often as I should, but it does still hold a special spot in my heart!

Very cool!  Now do not go treating this deck like any other deck, because it is not any ordinary deck.  When you get it enjoy looking at all of the beautiful faeries, and DO NOT look up card meanings no matter how tempted you are.  Read the book intro and do the exercises (including the silly/awkward ones).  This will create a bond.  When you start working with them go with your intuition first, THEN look them up in the book.  You will find that they have personalities and enjoy attention.

 

You might choose to tell them all about your grand father, they will LOVE that!  If you start having somewhat strange and giddy thoughts do not fear for your sanity, its just the faeries.  If things start disappearing in your house, do not fret just tell them in a direct manner to return whatever is missing and they will.  They are a bit picky of where they live, so if you feel these compulsions to put them in a particular bag or box the just go with it, it is them.  If you start having problems with electronics send me a PM, there is a remedy for that too!  They are amazing and wonderful friends, in the strange faerie way.  :love:

Kipper and Lenormand decks give a great reading combining with tarot. I tend to take one tarot card in a position and then two cards of either Kipper and Lenormand, they offer something different with the different systems. I don't personally like using those cartomancy decks as one card and feel they always need to be in combination, so at least 2 cards. Both the mystical decks work great with every tarot deck I have tried them with so far :)

I've been using the Greenwood with the Celtic Shaman's Pack (CSP), both illustrated by Chesca Potter, and they go beautifully together. I've even printed out the Greenwood using the same typeface as the CSP for the titles and they look great together now as well as reading well.

 

I've also been using the Greenman Tree Oracle, the Druid Animal Oracle and the Wildwood together, all with art by Will Worthington, and again, I've really like the way they read together. I'm tempted by the Druid Plant Oracle now, but I'm wondering if four decks at once is too many?

I really like the Druid Plant Oracle (and have the other two Oracles you mentioned).  I do not use them all together, but interchange which deck I use depending on the type of reading and what Oracle feels most appropriate to that reading.  I say get it!  :thumbsup:

Yes, you can get some very interesting results from drawing cards from multiple decks and comparing them. I failed with these particular decks but as three are working for you already the fourth being visually similarly should fit in very nicely :thumbsup:.
