Fairy Gems Oracle SALE

Fairy Gems Oracle - gemstones and fairies in forty cards

In many oracle decks the theme is an addition. Here it is the structure itself. Every card in the Fairy Gems Oracle links a gemstone to a nature spirit who embodies the quality of that stone. Not as decoration, but as system.

The deck is made by writer Ellen Steiber and illustrator Linda Ravenscroft. Steiber has a background in folklore and mythology and has written several children's books set in nature-rich environments. Ravenscroft is a self-taught fantasy artist whose work is collected worldwide. Her style is detailed and colourful, with a strong focus on light and texture.

What you see on the cards

Ravenscroft paints each fairy figure with a gemstone as the central element. The colours are bright, the wings delicately drawn, the stones sharply rendered. The iridescent silver edges do not participate in the composition, but give the deck something tactile.

The 204-page guidebook describes per card what the gemstone means and how the fairy carries that energy. Steiber's texts are poetic, but not vague. She translates crystallology into clear spiritual lessons without simplifying.

Who this deck works for

This deck is accessible for those with no prior knowledge of crystals, but it works better if you already have some affinity with gemstones or fairy literature. The cards are built for daily readings where you draw one card and use the text as a point of reflection.

Because the illustrations are so detailed, the deck also lends itself to meditative use where you take the card as a focal point. The magnetic box protects the cards well.

Place a physical piece of the gemstone on the card during meditation. The combination of image and material makes the meaning more concrete.

About Ellen Steiber and Linda Ravenscroft

Ellen Steiber began her career in New York as a writer of children's books and has a great passion for folk tales and nature. That background is visible in the way she treats the gemstones: with respect for folklore and an eye for the story behind the symbolism.

Linda Ravenscroft started painting professionally in 1994 and has illustrated several books on drawing fairies. Her work combines fantasy imagery with classical painting technique, resulting in illustrations that are both dreamlike and sharp.

Questions we often get

Can I combine this deck with a tarot reading?
Yes. Because the Fairy Gems Oracle works with the energetic properties of gemstones, it gives a different layer of information than a tarot deck. You can use it as an additional card in a tarot reading to gain extra perspective on a specific position.

Do I need prior knowledge of crystals or fairies?
No. The 204-page guidebook explains per card what the gemstone means and how the fairy figure embodies that energy. Steiber's writing style is accessible and poetic, without requiring prior knowledge. Those who already have experience with crystallology will recognise the texts.
