Hi elvenstar,
I decided to use all 5 cards and to use the Heart of Faerie. I have been using the FO mostly and thought the newer deck needed its chance in the sun.

- 1. What should I remember that I am forgetting?
50 The Hidden One
Somehow the card seems to be about roots and branches. It is saying that sometimes you feel that the moment is all that there is, but they say that all moments are linked. If you try to forget the woman or girl whom you used to be, and the past effects that you have had on others.... well, living in the moment is one thing, but stranded in the moment is another.
Also you have a soul deep shyness, and you 'forget' this and make 'reasonable' excuses for not doing something or interacting with some people. If you can look past the excuses perhaps you can deal with the real issues. There is a lost child still inside you. It could also be a long-ago imaginary friend who need re-visiting. For some reason I thought of "Tinkerbell". Some older part of you really strongly needs to be acknowledged now in order to move forward.
Something in your life is making you feel raw, but you feel helpless to face it. Help from the faeries seems to be tied to your past imaginings.
- 2. What are my faeries trying to tell me?
17 The Rox
While you are not really in charge, you have more power than you realize. You feel like a fake, a poseur, in your own life. You have a lot of support but the support systems (people or rules or whatever) often won't work together for you, you'll have to organize and contact your support a bit at a time.
The one who pretends to be your enemy simply doesn't not have as much power or authority as they like to pretend.
There is someone near you who can help. They don't look all that effective at first, but they see the ins and outs of things and can help you skate through this with some style.
You are far from all-powerful, but don't underestimate your own impact or strength. Someone close to you is giving you bad advice based on their misanthropic view of the world.
- 3. What is the advice my faeries are giving me?
57 The Joy of the Future
I think that this is like getting The Sun or the 9 of cups in tarot. It seems to me that there is an aura of "there, there, it'll all come out in the end" about this card.
There is much yet to come, so many fruits not yet eaten, nuts left still to crack. Laughs to be made, worries, sniggles, giggles and generally the warp and woof of life itself all to be enjoyed in their moment. This is not the beginning of the end, this is the end of the beginning.
- 4. What would be the outcome if I decide to follow this path?
55 The Remembrance
You will have to leave much behind to get through whatever you face currently and some of it, even if bad now, has a warm enough glow that you are sad to leave it (or them) behind. Remember what they said about the first card. The past flows out behind you like gossamer tendrils and the future lights up in your path. You are never completely alone in space/time, but the trick is to not just look ahead or just look back. Balance in all things.
You will feel a certain loss. Have a cookie.
- 5. What would be the outcome if I decide to not follow this path?
34 Tink
ohmigoodness. I have been turning over the cards one at a time, and am wondering a bit about that earlier idea of Tinkerbell.
Looks as if you stay stuck in the present and don't do the work, that your inner faery will be royally p*ssed. She looks cross.
