Dark Victory '39
A more recent example
As maybe you can tell, i've been using this deck for quite a bit more than just new and full moon readings. A recent example about how i use it, has roots in that i look for verification in the 'oracle' wording that kuan yin understands what i've asked about. Then where i most often feel validated and usually answered in a very direct way mostly comes down to a couple of v. specific sentences. (Even though Fairchild writes on average 6 pages/card.)
I'll give a concrete fresh example. I've gotten myself into a sit. where i've now told white lies to several people. It's pretty much icing on the cake that i chose to do this on top of much messier and more difficult situations. No surprise-- it's made me feel more stress when i already am recuperating from a couple of bad blows in other life areas. But i'm on a slow-learning path. I told the lies because i thought they would make me feel good. It also started because i felt threatened by the initial questions that involved a close friend (and then later, a family member) asking about my personal life in a way that i didn't feel comfortable answering. I should have just said i don't feel comfortable answering. But i knew they wanted good things for me, and i wanted good things for me so i lied to make us all feel better. And at the time it was wishful thinking on my part. I thought the lie could become the truth and what would happen, it just hadn't happened yet.
The time has now come where the timeframe of what i lied about should have proven itself. So i asked the oracle how i should deal w/ this situation. I'm prepared to come clean, but i'm v. fixated on timing. I know there's a good time and a bad time to tell people things. We all respond different on different days, and i want to catch these people on days when they wont feel bad for me. I dont want pity. Thats my biggest fear.
A one card reading. The card received: Be led by the path before you. [Our kuan yin is scattering petals before her flying yak.]
1. where i found my root validation that she heard my question correctly: "those around you may urge you (or you may urge yourself) to reconsider your choices. They may criticize you for being unrealistic, and urge you to put 'reasonable' time limits on how long you continue until there's a sign of success." Yes! If i had told them the truth i was v. much afraid this type of thing would have been their response.
2.the gem or nugget where i got the most direction: "Your life situation each day is like a breadcrumb dropped by the Divine, guiding you towards your destiny. You get to choose how you respond to that breadcrumb-- happily gobble it up and continue on your way, or venture off the path, perhaps in anxiety or doubt. But those bread crumbs will be dropped for you daily either way. you just need to trust in your own life experiences, trust in the loving genius of life, and keep traveling on the path before you. You are the path. It is an expression of your own being unfolding." ....Yes, my own complicated being unfolding. (eye roll.) Very helpful though. To me it says, drop the 'should i tell so and so about my little lies this week, or next week, or on tuesday.' Im adding a huge amount of punishment because im so fixated on getting the time right. The time for me to come clean, will appear.
3. Nugget two, several pages later, "This oracle comes w/ further guidance. Do not make things more complicated than they need to be. Do not rush in out of fear or panic to try and sort out an issue. Be patient and allow it to unfold. The universe knows what you are in need of and the Divine mother is with you always, giving birth through you."
4. The Healing Process for this was helpful: "say the following prayer, aloud if possible: i call upon the blessing of kuan yin who loves me w/out condition. bless my life path. help me take the steps i need w/ perfect timing and perfect trust. All i need is brought into my life exactly when i need it. i need not search. I simply need to take one step at a time and live from my heart. i ask for you to help me have confidence and trust to do this. And to watch over my path, intervene if need be and guide me according to divine grace. I receive your blessings w/ gratitude. Thank you! Through my own free will, [and then i do a harming none, so mote it be kind of thing.]
Anyways it was good. I cried afterwards. always keeping kleenex by the wild kuan yin.
