The Gift
1. The Card- the message/your destiny
14 The Maiden
The Maiden is floating, apparently in mid-air, on a leaf. I think that you just accept but do not exactly know where the support that you get comes from. It is just there. And in a very open way you take it as natural, like air and water.
There is a gleaming light at The Maiden’s Crown Chakra and also at her Heart Chakra. Plus her fingers and toes.
The latter two, the fingers and toes, I think point to your healing gifts, where your energy flows out.
The heart chakra, well, you are not a fool but you will be generous even to those who you know perfectly well will not appreciate or understand. It may hurt you a bit but in the end you end you trust that somehow it will help.
The Crown chakra shows you as open to ‘above’.
When your gift confuses you, you open yourself to trust.
I bet you were an utterly adorable child. I suspect that you were never afraid of the dark.
An utterly adorable child? Uhm... not really I suspect. I was very ill, and spend most of my time in hospitals. I was not afraid of the dark, but I was of the people I kept seeing in it.
It's true however, that I find the Heart & Crown the most important Chakra's in doing Healing Work. Although Vision, the 6th Chakra is very open with me, you need to interpret those images using both your Heart & Guidance.
I do a lot of Energy Healing yes, and my hands do tingle quite a lot.
And yes, kindness is second nature to me, and I do not care for recognition by others, just by God & myself. I know what I do.
Maiden was chosen by me as my most disliked card... for a long time... I'm thinking I went through a long road of self-acceptance, so now she makes me smile...
I'm not saying if I got those antennae though!
Marion said:
The Maiden has elf-ears, so I am thinking that you love music and at least dance in your imagination, if not always in reality. Sitting still too long is bad for your mood. Dancing is best.
Yes, I do so love to dance! I was thinking of going back to dancing classes, but I can't afford it at the moment and it would be hard to combine with revalidation therapy.
I do so hate to sit still! =) Except when I'm meditating, which I usually do lying down even...

2. The Ribbon- what ties it together and makes it interesting, adds beauty
58 Ffaff the Footer
You sometimes get very tired on the journey, and your feet hurt both literally and metaphorically.
Oh yes, that's true. I try to nurture my feet, but sometimes all they do is ache. They always tingle during Healing work, letting me know I'm releasing the sorrow and suffering I witnessed.
No matter what I do, they often remain cold. I'm still trying to find a way to have blood circulation increase and let the blood nurture my feet too.
Marion said:
That which makes it interesting though is friends along the way. Whenever you feel too tied to the ground, your friends lift your spirits and get those feet moving again.
Oh! This is very true. I love my friends - and they love me. They always remind me of the good and gentle things in life.
Marion said:
Also, you have wings, where your feet give out your heart can continue to soar.
That which holds you back also gives depth to your life. Pain has been strengthening your wings, unlike those who flit here and there and never sit still long enough to acquire depth.
Sometimes things are helpful in retrospect that only hurt at the time. You have had had to pass some hard gates in your life. It has thinned you out, made you focussed and made you quick and agile, mentally and spiritually. And opened your heart to love.
Yes, this is very true. I do have Wings. Not Fae Wings though.... Fae wings are beautiful, but they don't have the strength necessary.

3. The Wrapping paper- An obstacle/what keeps things hidden behind attractive deceptions
The Dark Lady
Like The Moon card, this lady creates fears that come to you in vulnerable moments. She shifts and distorts things and (momentarily) makes you think up is down, wrong is right and friends are enemies.
Oh yeah, she does! She has a way of making me think I walked the wrong path, or made a mistake, when later events unfold and make me feel that everything was alright all along.
I have a big problem with this Lady. The fear of doing something wrong, and the fear of things in the future, that I should know will work out sometimes drives me crazy!
Marion said:
She echoes your own intensity but with a dark shadow and leads you into dark places where there is no use to be had. She is your own personal ‘dark night of the soul’, and frankly she is rather wearing and a bit of a pain.
Yes she is!
Marion said:
She is about (among other things) secret longings and fears of unfulfillment.
I know I know. I've been working on letting her release her hold on me. I think I've managed quite a bit, but it's time to do even more work on this issue. I have to own my own shadow, and work through those fears once and for all!

4. The Box- What protects and contains your gift
62 The Glanconer
The Shapeshifter. Dear Kahlie, you have quite a few masks that you can wear, and you can shift them as the moment seems to need.
It protects you and your gift from coarse graspers and abusers. A smile, a quick slide away from an uncomfortable line of probing and you are away again.
Oooh, that's true. I do not always show my True Self, since, I often get requests for help that are insincere and damaging to both me and the person asking. So, I do downplay what I can do quite often...
I'm a verbal fencer as well when it comes to it!
Marion said:
And, it isn’t just that, any more than The Glanconer can be just one element. You see past surfaces yourself, you see through deceptions and hidings. It protects you to know the motives of others. Surfaces shimmer like water for you and seeing what lies beneath strengthens you.
Yes. I do see through a lot of deceptions of others and into their private lives. This allows me to help them, and it also bring a lot of responsibility.
And yes, it does protect me, since I've been able to escape quite a lot of stalkers and other nasties....

5. The Stuffing- What can be tossed out, unnecessary packaging/protection
65 The Fee Lion
Oh no! The Fee Lion glowers at you too! Little impish fae!
Resentment at the easy health of others, that they do not have to fight through so much. Annoyance that others seem to just reach out and take some things that you would like too.
Oh no! Luckily I don't have this! We all have our paths, and who is to say that mine is really more crooked then other one's path? I don't think so personally. Despite my challenges, the rewards were more more more then worth it, a thousand times over.
Marion said:
Days when the world just plain p*iss*s you off.
Guilty as charged! The world is just so diseased... you just have to see the news to get discouraged!
Marion said:
Then your own self-annoyance when you don’t do all you think you should, give in to laziness or discouragement and the Fee Lion growls in the corner.
All useless. Forgiveness is all. Including self-forgiveness.
Yes, I have a problem allowing myself to relax. For some reason I have this wacko idea that I have to do something 'useful' each day, and 'useful' usually means annoying or not that easy... I'm trying to work on it...
Marion said:
6. The Gift - your hopes/dreams fulfilled.
Himself
Heart and Crown chakras glowing like in The Maiden, but with an adult purpose and great strength. An alignment with natural forces and nature and an enormous development of strength. Intensity and focus.
A great promise.
Why, thank you.
Marion, this Reading was very very useful. It has given me a lot of handles on things that I'm working on, and still need to work on, as well as given me insight in what I have already accomplished.
Blessings to you,
Kahlie
