In the previous post we seem to have agreed to start a study group on the Faeries' Oracle by Fraud and most everyone listed their favorite, least favorite and universal cards. It would be wornderful if we could share our responses to the questions on pgs. 18-19 of the book where we describe our favorite card.
My favorite card is Indi (note ... at the time I completed this exercise I had not looked up any cards in the book):
1. The emotional atmosphere of the card is shy, a bit lonely yet playful. It looks as if Indi is looking for someone to play with him. He has tricks to show. He seems to feel like no one appreciates his magic tricks and it hurts him because he is so proud of them. He looks like he needs a hug. He shows his hurt by standing on the head of a faery that is making fun of him - this is the way Indi blocks him out. This blocking people out leads Indi to further isolation.
2. This card reminds me about how I feel about my working with the Tarot and how those around me do not care and just don't share my enthusiasm. I just go on about my business in my own little world.
3. I think the card is very clear. The mental characteristic of solutide and blocking others out is loud and clear. It is complex yet simple. The card seems multi-dimensional.
4. Spiritual characteristics of the card include the dark background, and the sparkles of light on Indi.
5. What I find most appealing about this card is Indi himself. I love everything about him, he is just so cuddly *LOL*.
6. The one thing I find unappealing about this card is the faery making fun of Indi ... how rude!
7. Another impression I get from this card is that the large sphere Indi holds is his excitement and talents, the ball he holds is how he perceives others think about him. His arms accross his chest is a symbol of him blocking others out, and he gives his back to the small ball (what others think).
After reading the book, I learned that Indi is about indicision, but as I described above I think this card is multi-faceted. I still hold to my original impressions, but also acknowledge that depending on the situation when Indi comes up in a reading he could also indicate indicision.
