To journey into the Faery Wicca Tarot, we must travel through the Four Cities of which the eye cannot see, but the soul knows - Gorias in the East; Finias in the South, Murias to the West; and Falias in the North. It is believed the Tuatha De Danann came from each city, bringing a gift from each to Ireland with them. These four cities stand as nodes of magic and inspiration within Faery Wicca - and each links to a suit. Cups become Uisce, Wands change to Tine, pentacles are Domhan and swords become Aer. Titles also change with Ard Ri as Kings, Banrion as Queens, Knights to Ridire and Pages as Ainnir.
On our journey, we are given our own gifts that appear as extra cards - The Apple Branch, The Crane Bag, The Hazel Wand, and the Holey Stone. You stop to point out Ogham staves that add meanings. I did not expect the bright moderness of the art, the colour. While you favour Old Witch Moon Hill - a woman in black embracing the moon’s rays in a stone circle, for me the darkness of the grey Judgement card tugs my heart - the red flames engulfing the person tied to the stake at the centre, a powerful hit for a card that so often misses its mark.
