Magic is the science and art of causing effect to occur in conformity with our will. This will has to be focused and expressed creatively, through images, symbols, ritual, art or music - anything that connects us to the flow of Awen. The Faerie Enchantment cards are designed with these ideas in mind. -- Ian Daniels

I love it when I find beautiful, useful oracles on crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and IndieGoGo. It seems that this is the golden age of publishing for the bold, the innovative, the avant garde--especially for those who create and produce independently (i.e. without the strictures and interference of traditional publishers). 

Yesterday, I came across Faerie Enchantments on Kickstarter--a Celtic-influenced oracular set for use in spell casting, visualization, manifestation and divination. 

What is Faerie Enchantments? According to artist/author Ian Daniels (creator of the magnificent Tarot of the Vampyres):

• A magical system for creating personal enchantments, based on ancient Celtic magic and symbolism.
• An exquisite fine art collection to adorn your living space or altar, featuring Goddesses and Faerie Queens from Celtic mythology.
• Over 3000 uniquely created magic spells, using various natural and elemental essences, magical ingredients and symbolism.
• A Wiccan codex for the creation and development for your own Book of Shadows, charms, runes and enchantments, incorporating elements of Tarot and astrology.
• An illumination of many Faerie Goddesses, their particular magical energies, and how to harness those energies through enchantment and visualization 

The Faerie Enchantment box set looks gorgeous and created with loving care but, more importantly, appears well-researched--especially with the correlations between Welsh/Celtic/Druidic mythos, Astrology, Tarot, gemstones and more.

Visit Ian's Kickstarter page here to view his stunning artwork (prints are available as a part of the rewards, too) and to back his new project.
