Hello Little Buddha...
I read this with interest, hope that some of my comments will be useful.
1. First question:
I don't think that I could have read for her. Not just because I would have had to translate the messages, if they were negative. Because maybe I might have held some stuff back. And maybe because I wouldn't have wanted to hold that information to myself.
What do you think?
Cerulean's reply:
I understand what you are saying. Your posts lately (the few that I've read) have a very nice fatherly feeling to them--you want to be kind and not scarey, especially to sensitive friends. Also, if you feel tired, you don't want to be too down because it would be 'your energy talking' rather than a higher source. From what I gather, you really would like to draw on energy from both the earth upward and then from the higher source through you....that way, it's not so draining.
2. Playing cards
And in terms of using playing cards, it's really only the Latin-suited decks that work for me and the meanings I prefer are gently spoken, like Gillian Kemp's decks. She usually seems to have 52-card oracle decks that remind me of playing cards with different themes. The meanings are usually very kindly phrased. So if you had a 'dark' or 'black' suit, the meaning is suggesting an awareness or asking you to draw on a strength that might balance or counter a potential problem.
If people equated the King of Swords with the King of Spades, the feeling of being a weary, experienced or soldierly gentleman who deals with communication might be similar. My way of reading differs from yours, but I do enjoy reading the different forms of those reading cartomancy!
3. Dreams...And it seems, with your dreams, you are able to tap into the concerned and kindly fatherly energy of the divine naturally, which is wonderful.
Regards,
Cerulean
