Oracle of the Fairies! By Karen Kay, Artwork by Ginger Kelly, published by Hay House on 1st October 2019.

There is more to life than what can be seen with the human eye–use this oracle as the portal of possibilities to transport you into the realm of fairy magic and manifest your way to wonders untold!

The fairies wish for everyone to experience their ancient wisdom and feel connected to the Earth. They are the guardians of nature, magical manifestors–they wish only to create beautiful blessings in our lives. Now there is a way to receive these blessings, using the Oracle of the Fairies as the doorway to the invisible realm of possibility just beyond our fingertips.

Created by Karen Kay, renowned fairy communicator, Oracle of the Fairies will guide the user to seek out fairy wisdom and receive concrete answers that will bring inspiration and solutions to everyday questions. Each reading will share positive and practical fairy insight, directly related to the user’s unique energy and personal circumstances.

The purpose of this oracle deck is to enable the user to forge their own path in life with wisdom and confidence–easily done when you can readily communicate with your fairy guides for help through this extraordinary deck of cards.

Oracle of the Fairies will appeal to those who love nature and believe in the magic and wonder of life. It is for the people who “know” there is more to life than what can be seen with our physical eyes, who love and care for the planet, and have a passion for the environment.

Hi lovely readers!

We had the most magical time in Glastonbury UK at the Avalon Fairy Fayre and Ball. Many of you came to say hi and picked up your copy of issue 44 featuring Traci Hines on the cover!

Technical manager Michael Tingle and Editor in Chief, Karen Kay

The Fairy Ball was fantastic with music from SeeD from the Netherlands. During the daytime Fairy Fayre we created a living Pre-Raphaelite interactive art installation! We had around five models who posed inside a large golden picture frame, whilst members of the public took photos and some of them posed with the models too – it was great fun! One of the photos appeared in The Times Newspaper which was super-exciting! The photo was taken by Jason Bryant. Models are Emma and Char.

We stayed in Glastonbury for a few extra days because it is such an enchanting place, plus the weather was rather windy and we didn’t fancy driving back in it! So now we are back in fairyland at FAE HQ we are having a nice cup of tea as us Brits like to do! Fairy tea cup by Amy Brown. Will write again soon with more exciting FAE news!

The next event where you can find the FAE team will be in the land of King Arthur, Tintagel in Cornwall on Saturday 4th May. Guest artist Jasmine-Becket Griffith will be in attendance along with artists Anne Sudworth and master armorer, Terry English, Armorel Hamilton (Mother of Faybles), and many more. Jasmine created the special artwork especially to promote the event (see below), plus you can see a larger version of this in the new issue of FAE.
