hi, I am new to posting in the forum (although I have checked it at odd times in the past). I love the Faeries Oracle and have been using it for about 4 years. I was never interested in tarot/oracle cards before, but the amazing artwork drew me in, and it is such a great way to commune with the Faeries. My problem is that I have never set up a regular 'routine', I tend to go mad for a few days when I have particular challenge or when I feel the connection to faery is strong, and then put it in a box for weeks/months. It is a shame, they are sulky after such long neglect (especially if i have been forgetting their advice...)
I would really like to build up a routine, say, using a one card draw each day, and a three card or faery-style reading for particular issues once or twice a week...does anyone have advice on building up a 'routine' for connecting with the fae?
With all due respect, WHY? This deck to me, of all decks, is about spontaneity. The faeries are all about that. About not creating any plans or routines and just doing things on the spur of the moment and when it feels right, in new and creative ways.
This is the one deck, for me, that I refuse to use any routines with. Every other of my decks shuffle and choose cards in regular way. This deck I do something new each time. I pull out the deck and look at it and go "What can I do that is fun and playful with it today to find my cards?"
I don't think the faeries like routines. I think they just want to play. And they only want to be with you when you are truly ready for the contact inside in your heart.
What's wrong with only contacting them once every few months. If that's what feels right to you do it. I don't think the faeries are about changing who you are inside for them as much as learning to see who you really are and to celebrate that person for exactly what she is.
If routines are not natural to you, I don't think the faeries want them of you. They are after all part the soul of the earth and part your inner self. What is not natural to your inner self is not natural to them adn will make them uncomfortable.
Although, yes I suggest you take their advice before you put them away. It can only improve your life anyway. They ARE very wise.
It is fine if you're not a routine person. Some people are, some aren't.
