Queen of Laughter. Well, you're laughing! Or should be anyway. Life is good. Flowers sparkle in her hair, a certain amount of pride in your personal appearance and general body awareness is due, she says. When you love yourself, you make yourself beautiful to others. And there's a couple of pixies surrounding her, basking in her smiles. Your emotional seas are vast and varied, so a certain amount of skill in navigating them is important. You have developed this skill, but do you always remember to use it and stay afloat of sudden storms? It is important to ground your emotions. Do do not be afraid of acknowledging and accepting the scars of the past. At the same time, there's no reason for them to hold you down. Speaking of reason, clear ideas of who you are and what you want are also important at this point. Remember to be light on your feet and wings though. Don't let stuff bog you down. Laugh and be free!
Ah, my friend
The Paradox. Men are a mystery to me, but not to the faeries. And certainly not this faery. He's got the brooding, changeable emotional swirling vortex thing down to a t. The point is, nothing is static and nothing is black and white. He's staring a bit accusingly out of the card at me. I have feelings too, he says, and I want them acknowledged and addressed. Not sure if he speaks for a specific person in your life or is making a more general comment. But he says we sometimes need to accept things we don't fully understand and also accept that this might also change at a moment's notice or less. Not fair you say? This is faery advice, no one said anything about fair, he says.
Be more aware of others and the impact of your behaviour on them.
Ohh,
The Thief. He looks smug. And a little bit taunting. He's also a bit sad too, but he doesn't want to point that out or dwell on it. He's talking about consequences. About broken hearts and pleas gone unheard. The things he sees sometimes hurt him but he is steadfast. Whatever it was, learn from it and let go, he says. Life just goes on. So should you.
Heh.
In Two Minds. I love these guys. Again we have big ears, like the Thief and the Lady of Laughter. You have to start listening before it's too late! They said, including the exclamation mark. Do you want a confrontation? Sometimes the two sides of the coin are really the same one, they say, if only you'd just listen. There's no real duality involved here, if only you will see it, they say. There's no real dilemma here. It's a trick of the light. Peripheral concerns will fade and everything will make sense if you only see things their way. Choose one over two.
Darkness.
The Queen of Passage is sitting in the forest at night, her wise birds holding her company. She loves it there, she belongs, it's her time and place. But do you? She asks. She's holding out a blood red pomegranate but it has a razor moon attached. Yielding to temptation may be sweet, but will also hurt. Don't torture yourself and don't go into the dark place. Communication is important here. But sometimes it's critical we do not say things that will hurt, things that we cannot take back once they've flown the mouth's nest. Sometimes the wise thing is to be still, to be quiet, to listen.
Ah, one of the faces of my favourite lady.
The Challenge. She smiles. Her eyes are piercing and playful and she says, Are You Game? Well? Are you? Will you sit in the dark and wait for life to come to you, or will you go out there and grab it by the horns? Will you help yourself grow? Will you acknowledge how far you have come already from who you were, have a small hoot and a wiggling dance and set out for more? More life, more love, more laughter and joy. It's there for the taking, but only for those who dare. She's got a secret smile just for you and a ferocious appetite for life. So do you, she says. She knows, you know it, now I know it
What are you waiting for?
Ok, this was it. I only used the Heart of Faery deck without reversals. Hope it makes some sense to you. To me what this says is that you're basically doing fine, but perhaps need to work on the listening thing, to be aware of emotional undercurrents, both yours and those of others, and finally to avoid moping around emo-goth-style and to have a positive, light-hearted, go-get-them-tiger attitude. If there's a specific guy or two involved, love them, listen to them, don't let them get you down. Choose one over two. If not, same goes for any who turn up in the near future. Because if they're not there now, they soon will.
