Reading for Jewel
1. Where am I now. Tobaira of the Waters
Gently, gently is the first thing I think when I look at this card. I wonder what "gently" has todo with where you are now. Theres a real sense of calmness, of days passing gently one after the other. I would have to say that it doesn't look as if there are any major dramas happening around you at the moment. If there are then you must be the eye of the storm, the rock everyone relies on, or something, because there is just this overwhelming feeling of calmness- of peace- of acceptance. So I would have to say that where you are now is a good place.
2. Where I want to be. Taitin the Slyph
Hee hee. I had to giggle. You want to go from calm and responsible to something exciting. I get the feeling you can't (don't want to???) physically go anywhere but you'd love to travel in your mind, this is so opposite in feeling to the first card. this is exciting, fun, BUSY! You want something new in your life. Its not like you want to throw away anything you've got now, you just need some stimulation. Some conversations that leave you buzzing. If you've been feeling a bit unsurprisable, Taitin is saying that that is what you truly need. A dang good suprise or two. Nice ones of course.
3 & 4 Looking back:
3. What I should take from my past. The Journeyman
What you should take from your past is everything you have achieved up till now; the knowledge that you still have far to go; but most importantly your sense of ADVENTURE. In the past you may have been more likely to boldly go where you had not gone before than you are now. The faeries are suggesting that you dust off your adventure boots and bring them with you. Who cares about planning anything. They want you to remember that sometimes trips and adventures are made by flying by the seat of your pants.
4. What I should leave behind. The Singer of Connection
Singers are such wonderful cards and i don't think for a minute this Singer wants you to leave a relationship behind. It seems to me that you need to let go of a need to do something with someone else. Is this a someone in particular or just in general? You want to climb to Machu Pichu but can't anyone to go with you? Bugger them- the faeries say you should go alone. That newness that you are looking for can't really be found if you take someone safe and familar with you.
5 & 6 Looking forward:
5. What I should anticipate and plan for. The Pook
Ok, you need to plan for the confusion and out right paradoxes that are likely to arise from your journey into brave new worlds. Looks like catch 22's to me. Things like needing to work to afford a trip but being unable to go because you are working- that sort of thing. So heads up on the confusion and catch 22's.
6. How my past experience can help me in the future. Solus
Your past experiences are your best guide. Because you have learnt so much on previous occasions you know what to do and not do. You also know that the help is always there is you need it. While your upcoming situation/s are not the same as what yo have already been through, you have certainly learnt enough now to make any "drama" just a storm in a teacup.
Looking at the whole spread i get an overwhelming sense of you physically travelling somewhere- like an adventure tour or something. Somewhere far from where you live. It is a pretty strong feeling. If you physically going anywhere is out of the question then perhaps you wil be totally throwing yourself into a new line of study. But I must say the adventure feeling, new air, i don't know. I'm rarely this convinced about something, but i'm pretty convinced that you should be travelling in the next year or two. At the very least maybe its a camping trip or something.... I can almost smell the trees in the air, feel the sharpness of the wind.... Ok, I'll shush now.
I hope you can relate to this, or at least enjoyed it.
with love
Faery
