A magical 48-card oracle deck from the best-selling author of If Women Rose Rooted and Hagitude, drawing on the transformative power of fairy tales to help you believe in the possibility of change.Humans are natural storytellers, making sense of the world through tales, especially those encountered in childhood. Fairy tales are the finest teaching stories, holding rich, deep lessons that show us a pathway toward change and how to live more fully in the world. At their heart is the theme of transformation.Sharon Blackie, an award-winning writer, psychologist, and internationally recognized teacher in the field of mythic imagination, has explored the power of fairy tales for over two decades. In The Fairy Tale Heroine Oracle, she distils this wisdom and knowledge into 48 cards that unlock the archetypal power of these tales.The cards are divided into four suits, each of which represents a critical aspect of the heroine’s journey, and your journey, because you are the heroine of your own life: Tasks cards represent the work that must be undertaken by the fairy tale heroine to grow and transform, and ultimately to reach her goal. Places cards depict the magical locations through which the heroine will have to pass—and in which she’ll be tested—during her journey. Guides cards characterize the allies and antagonists she’ll meet along the way. Tools cards portray the objects that empower her to fulfil her destiny. The archetypal images, characters and motifs at the heart of this deck act like keys to unlock your inner wisdom, and will offer comfort, guidance, and inspiration at every point of your long, winding journey through life.
