Feedback on a reading?

seneris · 09-05-2008

Hi there,

I wasn't sure where to post this so I asked a moderator. I hope it's alright to post this there.
It’s been a while since I visited these boards, and it’s been even longer since I read the cards. I recently did a reading with The Faeries Oracle and I was looking for some feedback. I never posted in this board, but I’ve always enjoyed reading the messages here. It’s great to see how the faeries can give us advice and how these cards work. I hope you great folks can help me.

A little bit of background information:
Life has been quite the rollercoaster-ride for me these last few months. My relationship ended in a painful way and not long after that my father died unexpectedly.
Now things slowly start to look better for me and I even like someone else again (let’s call him ‘M.’). He sings in the same choir as me, and I am getting to know him better. I would love to let him know that I like him, but I am a bit insecure in how to do this and about myself.

So I wanted to ask the faeries to help me get some insight on this situation. My question was: what is the road to take with M.?

I laid the cards out like this:

******3***********4***********5*****
current situation****advice****result******
***********************************
***********1************2**********
***********Me********** M.**********

I got these cards:

1: The guardian at the gate
2: She of the Cranach
3: Ilbe the Retriever
4: Myk the Myomancer
5: The Piper
Then I felt the urge to draw an extra card. I got He of the fiery sword.

My own interpretation is as follows. The guardian at the gate represents what I am going through these last few months. It’s like I have been thrown off my feat and I needed to climb up again. I feel like I have changed. I don’t take things for granted anymore, and even though I can still be insecure sometimes I feel like I can be strong as well. I have noticed that I can handle these painful and difficult things. I feel like I am ready for something new (a relationship perhaps?)
I am not quite sure how to interpret She of the Cranagh. I find it a beautiful card, it resonates with me. The message is beautiful, but I still find it hard to accept it…
I had to smile when I saw Ilbe the retriever. I have felt bad about myself these last few months and I was wondering if I could be happy again. I guess Ilbe is saying that I can, right? It’s kind of funny now I think of how I noticed that I had feelings for M. Everytime I was with him I felt good, but I didn’t make the connection. And then I got a ‘d’oh’-moment

Then there’s Myk the Myomancer I am not quite sure about this card. Any thoughts?
That The Piper appeared in my reading made me smile as well, since I got to know M. in my choir. I am not sure how to interpret this card, since there’s also the theme of illusion present in this card. Or will there be harmony? The Piper also tells to be patient and subtle.
What I found remarkable was that both She of the Cranach and He of the fiery sword appeared in my reading, the yin and the yang. So I guess there will be balance again? I also found it very touching to see how the faeries picked up on my general state of mind.
But overall I am a bit stuck about how to interpret these cards...

I would love to hear your take on these cards. It’s been a while since I read the cards, and I find reading for myself sometimes quite difficult.
Thanks!

Sounds like a very good overall reading, and that the two of you can balance each other in a nice way.
Myk the Myomancer says to pay attention to details. And to be patient. If you patiently read the details, all will fall into place. Start off by being friends. Learn the details of what M. likes. Learn the details of what you like. You yourself are a detail of this whole situation, so don't neglect yourself in this reading. When you are happy within yourself, good things will inevitably happen for you. (Ilbe's message) THe most important thing is, don't depend on anyone else for your happiness. You alone are responsible for that, and then when you are ready to share it, the right person comes along.
Hope this helps?

Dear ellirhyn,

thank you for your reply. I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier, I wanted to let your words sink in. Thank you for your advice. It's funny, I told a friend about my reading and she said the same thing about being responsible for your own happiness. It's something I recognise, I've been thinking about it for some time now, even before I did the reading.
Thanks again for the advice.
