Is there really a difference?

I agree that there are the obvious differences, but all in all, divination tools are what you make them. Your energy decides.

Several years ago I was drawn to Brian Froud's oracle deck. I agree that anyone that is naturally gifted, doesn't need the instruction manual / book. Truly gifted individuals don't need the tools, even though they use them as a visual aid for the benefit of others who need a picture to be painted. However, I am a huge Froud Fan. So don't try to get me to throw mine away. ^_^

Aside from the original question... Anyone else like, or not like, Froud?
