Brian froud oracle6/23/2023 I couldn't paint the beings who wanted to be in the deck in a way that would even begin to do them justice. Many years ago I was inspired with the idea of making an unorthodox (not quite tarot) deck. This, of course, was exactly what the faeries really wanted him to do. So he put the notion to one side and went on drawing faeries, filling his paintings with wonders and delights. He knew that what was wanted by faery was something unusual, something very different, but they didn't explain clearly (they rarely do) exactly what they did want. But then, when he begin trying to paint a conventional tarot-type deck with faeries, it just didn't feel right and he got bogged down. Many years ago, Brian Froud was inspired with the idea of making a faery-based tarot deck. Oengus Journeyman, portrait by Brian Froud, © Painting copyright 2000 by Brian Froud.Īll rights reserved.
