Card: Brownie
Court:
It is late at night and there is a small woman wearing earthy colors and an apron with pointed ears sweeping near the hearth. The entire area is dark except for the fire in the hearth and the area above the stove where you can see the copper pans glistening. The look on her face is one of contentment, as though everything is right in the world as she sweeps in front of the hearth near more copper pots.
Besom is Gaelic for broom like the one shown.
Brownies are solitary fairies and they are found actually found predominately Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. The book says only south Scotland but I checked with my husband (who's family is from North Scotland) and he knows them very well though we both very strongly disagree with the book's description of what they look like.
Brownies are well known for taking care of chores during the night while the family sleeps but this is not likely to happen if the hearth was left dirty. They know when the cock crows that it is time to slip away, they do not like to be verbally thanked, just a bowl of cream or fresh milk.
They can be mischevious but 99% of the time it is perfectly harmless unless they are ofended.
Divination: Pleasure and fulfillment will come from home and family, they are your security, important bedrock on which you build the rest of your life and your refuge. Ther emay be family parties and celebrations coming up, perhaps a reunion.
Reversed: Will be recognized and admired by those outside of your home and family, efforts and talens will be rewarded.
Working with a Brownie: This is a very old tradition which helps to keep good things going on in the house.
sorry for it being so late, it didn't take the first time.
