Hi, Lucille. Thanks for letting me do this Fairy Ring Oracle reading for you. It was fun and informative for me, and I hope it's helpful for you. Your question was: Is what I'm studying at present, what I've been waiting for? I chose the Fairy Ring spread from the book, which looks like this:
----------------1------------------
--------8-------------5----------
--4---------------------------2--
--------7-------------6----------
----------------3-----------------
1. Current life phase: Imbolc
This phase is one of renewal, of coming out of the dark cave your life has been in. The crocuses are blooming through the snow, bringing the promise of spring and new life.
2. What's behind you: Robin Goodfellow
Behind you is a period of fun and entertainment, the thrill of new experiences, the rush of excitement at new beginnings. Playful energy, mischievousness, impish fun. Robin Goodfellow is the Knave of the Summer Court.
3. What's before you: The Elder Queen
Before you is a more mature period, as you grow and flower in wisdom and learning. You will become more sure of yourself, but also more stable and determined. You will leave the neophyte stage and move toward mastery. The Elder Queen is the Queen of the Summer Court.
4. Weaknesses to be overcome - The Lhiannan Shee Rx
The Lhiannan Shee represents the temptation to escape into dreams, fantasies, or addictive substances (alcohol, drugs, TV, the internet). She will try to seduce you away from your studies.
5. Strengths to be developed - The Brownie
The Brownie is the hardest working fairy in all the fairy realm. She's always busy about her work, cleaning and tidying tirelessly. You need to develop your hardworking nature and apply yourself assiduously to your tasks. She's also telling you to pay attention to your home and family, since they will be your greatest source of strength in this phase.
6. Obstacles in your way - The Lake Maiden
The Lake Maiden is the mistress of deep secrets and fairy magic. Normally, she is a hidden protectress who shares with her chosen one the secret knowledge of the Otherworld. As an obstacle, she may represent a teacher in your life who is unwilling or unable to help you, or a woman trying to block your way as you pursue your studies. Perhaps your competence would threaten her position.
7. What will help you - The Mermaid Rx
The Mermaid reversed is said to indicate a time of isolation and loneliness. Perhaps this card is indicating that it will help you to distance yourself from the person represented by the Lake Maiden. It could be that you need to study on your own or find another teacher or study partner.
8. Final outcome of this phase - Herfest
The Herfest (the harvest festival of the autumnal equinox) is the happy culmination of months of hard work. It is a period of reward, success, celebration and relaxation. So I think the ultimate answer to your question is yes, if you continue to work hard and watch out for that Lake Maiden, you'll get where you want to go with these studies.
Best,
Kim
