My card today is #12 Singer of the Chalice Reversed.

Background:

My query today is something that has been a huge burden on my mind for several months. I have avoided asking the cards for advice because I simply could not see or imagine a graceful way out of the situation. I've accepted being stuck.

I am under obligation to a large group of people. I don't share their goals or their vision, and I disapprove of the means they use to achieve their ends.

Nevertheless, I am under obligation until I cut the tie. For the last month or so, I have not been meeting the terms of this obligation. I would write a letter of resignation today if I had someone to turn the responsibilities over to. But I don't and for a long, long time there's not even been a possible candidate on the horizon.

That changed yesterday. Someone who used to be a good friend, but whose high maintenance needs drew me dry, and also brought down my team, came back after a 6 month hiatus and expressed interest in rejoining/revitalizing the team.

My dilemma: She's not well suited for this task long-term. But neither am I at this point. I doubt I could work with her. But, I wouldn't have to work with her if I simply turn over the reins.

It's a huge temptation to do just that. It's like the Universe has given me not only a solution, but a good reason to grasp the solution, take my leave, and never look back.

But, in the long run I don't think she'd stick with it, and might do a lot of harm before she had enough and disappeared for months once again.

I thought about this dilemma and opportunity as I shuffled the cards a few times, cut them into 3 stacks, and selected the middle stack.

The Singer of the Chalice is one of the Singers of the Realms, faeries that sing the underlying song of the universe. They could be called angels. I think of the 13 Singer cards as roughly analogous to Major Arcana in Tarot.

The Chalice is made of light against a blue-green background. To me, this card symbolizes being open to the gifts of the Universe. Joy, Love, Healing, whatever it is we need pours out of the Chalice and enriches us.

Reversed indicates denying the gifts, and turning away from unity. The FO book indicates that it is a lack of trust that causes that denial.

So, I need to think about this card, and if anyone has an insight I'll appreciate your sharing. This card could indicate what *I* am doing: second guessing the gift that dropped into my lap yesterday. Or perhaps I am right to be cautious.

At any rate, the reading gives me courage to at least explore the possibilities and options. Maybe I'll finally find an honorable way out of this snarl.

ETA: I decided to draw a second card and try for clarity. Whoa. Did I ever get it.

Card 27: Nelys the Alchemyst Reversed: I am the main obstacle in my path.

[ravenscape]

I haven't done a new draw today, and I'm not sure I will, just yet. I'm still processing yesterday's reading, and still working through reconciliation issues with the person who gives me at least the option to gracefully leave an intolerable situation. I believe she's lying to me about some things that happened over the last few months. I'm not sure why she's lying, unless the appearance of being completely in the right is that important to her.

Anyhow, I'm going forward slowly, but with a personal conviction that she represents an opportunity - a gift.

Hi Ravenscape ,

Would love to join you , I've had my faeries oracle deck for years but don't use It often as I'd like as I always use Tarot , anyway I'd love to use this deck more as I love this deck , The cards are so beautiful !

Well , my card works perfectly to my day and what I'm feeling .

I got Fee Lion .

I am sitting behind the computer and I know I should actually be cleaning , making dinner for tomorrow night because I'll be working tomorrow and won't get to do all the things I need to get done but I really can't be bothered , so I had a few wines and went on the comp instead :)
but I have this voice that keeps reminding me of all the things I haven't done , which is obviously Fee Lion .
He's looking at me on the card with these eyes that look as though their saying , "Go do the dishes ... Get up !".



Anyway , Thats all I got for today .
I hope this is successful will be good if this forms into a study group .

Speak soon
Ametrine :)

[River]

*gasp* I'm so excited that I found this thread! I have had my Faeries oracle deck for..gosh..it must be 4 years now. It's the only deck I use. I haven't done a daily reading since the first year I had the deck (I was still trying to become familiar with the cards) but I may have to start again.

[ravenscape]

Yay! Glad you joined the thread.

I'm amazed Fee Lion doesn't visit me more often. I'm surrounded by loose threads in all aspects of life :D

I have been exchanging emails with the person who prompted the first reading I posted. I'm obsessed with a few areas of our past, where I feel she's being dishonest. At the same time, she's overwhelming with long drawn out reviews of things I did, or she did where we misinterpreted each others' intentions.

All of this, though, is inconsequential to the matter at hand - she wants to take the reins from me, and I no longer want to hold the reins - but I fear where she might steer us.

My card today is #42 Myk the Mycomancer, reversed. This card is about attention to detail, and not missing the key clues. But reversed, it shouts to me that I've lost myself in the sea of details about the past, and that maybe I've chased the details for meaning more than long enough.

I have the information I need to make a decision. And I know it. It's time to stop picking at scabs.

[Lorrie]

I love the way this deck never minces words, it tells you straight out how it is!! I haven't worked with any cards in so long, just don't have the time anymore, but they were always my favorite because I knew they would give me the answers or tell me where to look for them. They are brutally honest, and I love them for it!

[River]

(I always do my daily card readings at the end of the day, as a way to reflect, as opposed to a way to predict)

My card of the day is Lys of the Shadows #44

I really like this card. To me, Lys represents self-esteem. She is like a day at the spa. Today I stayed home, I read and knitted and cleaned and now I feel so much better than I have been feeling lately. Today I learned that I can't always be running around, i need to do some things just for me every once in a while.

[LisaT4P]

Ah, my friend.. # 59 The Bodacious Bodach!

Funny he should pop up on a day when I am trying to organize my files and thinking about spending the (supposed to be very hot) weekend cleaning my house! LOL

Hopefully nothing has been misplaced in the meantimes by this helpful little meddler.

He also seems to be popping up in my communications with others, as my supervisor had some completely unwarranted & unfounded accusations to make this morning... LOL

[River]

The Fee Lion #65 Reversed

The Fee lion represents procrastination and guilt, but reversed, the message is "Don't bite off more than you can chew, Make sure I have done all the things I need to but don't get overworked with jobs that are really someone else's"

Feelings about the card: The fee lion gives me a bad feeling, when i first got the cards the first exercises was to separate the cards into two piles, seemingly positive and seemingly negative cards. He was in he negative pile. reversed, the message is less dreary, so hopefully this will be a guilt and procrastination- free day.

[aranarose]

My question this morning revolves around a situation that has sprung up and is very perplexing to me.

#7: The Singer of Intuition

I need to listen to my gut. My heart and gut tell me that they are both finally being honest with me, and that I need to sit back and see how things unfold without trying to force anything.

[LisaT4P]

#59 The Bodacious Bodach - again!

I thought it was hysterically funny that this guy popped up... again! I shuffled at least 15 times and even cut my deck, but there he was.

Appropriate again, as I'm still working on cleaning my biggest headache in the office and my house STILL is not clean. *sigh* I do seem to have misplaced 2 of my newer tarot decks. I'm sure they are in the house somewhere! LOL

Working working working! :D

[ravenscape]

#36 Spirit Dancer

I was shuffling the cards and this one fell off the top of the deck after a shuffle.

I have a few new creative projects on the back burner, but it's going to be hard to start one at the moment. The kitchen remodel is almost finished, but coming up right away is repainting the house and replacing the floors. All the choices are made, it's just a scheduling/time thing, now.

I have been thinking about getting back to work on my novel. The first draft has been sitting for about 6 months now. Maybe I'm ready to tackle it.

[faeriewitch]

Sorry I've missed a few days !
Have been sick and am still not 100% so It'll be interesting to look into what my card of the day is .

I got : Sylvanius , Straight off looking at the card I feel as though It's a card for protection and Insight .I was reading a book in bed this morning and I felt inspired and motivated and decided I am going to look into doing more courses on spiritual development so that makes sense .
I've sometimes have doubts about myself and my abilities but this morning I have no doubts and I feel very positive , I feel as though I have found my true path and can see clearly to what I should do in the future .

[mydnight_temptress]

Interesting I got #58 Faff the Footer. What's interesting to me about this is that I did a 5 card reading last night and he was my outcome card. After I did the reading I organized the deck by different groups I felt each card should be in. Then this morning I shuffled them, spread them out, and drew a card from the middle. He apparently thinks He needs to be listened too! But then I had dental work done yesterday and am taking vicadin--so I feel slightly out of it. His warning of try not to do anything important is high on my list hahaha. And if I'm anything today like I was yesterday--I won't be able to do anything important--almost feel like I have medicine head/ on beandryl! And perhaps I need to meditate tonight to bring myself back to reality!

[River]

The faery who was kissed by pixies #21

Morna tells me to cherish and nurture my relationship with Dalin, which is changing and evolving after yesterday. I won't see him today but I think it is a good thing, so I can ground myself and mull over all the things that are in my head about him. When I shuffle the cards before a reading, I like to do so with the cards facing me so that I can look at them all and attune myself with them before the actual reading. When I did that today I found myself dwelling on #21 and I was surprised to see her when I drew my card.

Feelings about the card: This is one of my favorite cards. It gives me such a good feeling of loving and being loved.

[LisaT4P]

# 50 Arval Parrot

Without looking him up in the book, Arval makes me think of communication / throat chakra issues. He has a little glowing orb approx. where his larynx would be. He is pointing to it with the finger of his right hand. He also has 2 long antennae-like eyebrow thingies that have glowing orbs on them. This makes me think of sensitivity in communication with others.

After reading the book, I like Arval's advice of "He who burns his bottom must himself sit on it." :D

[River]

"He who burns his bottom must himself sit on it."

hahaha

[wolf]

I just discovered this thread! I am at work and don't have my Faery Cards with me, but I took a quick trip over to the online Faerie Oracle at http://www.worldoffroud.com

I got Losgunna ... "Sunken Treasure, Discovery of Self, Adventure"

She's telling me that I have to look deeper within situations, to find the nugget of gold that's often hiding within the pile of dross.

Since I deal with a lot of other people's dross, so to speak, I see that I can find insights into both them and myself.

[faeriewitch]

My card of the day Is :

Lys of the Shadows .

Lys is a patron faery that helps social workers,therapists,healers and others that help alcoholics and drug addicts , Which makes sense to me , because this is the path I want to eventually be on . I would like to be a councellor/social worker , and I already have my healing abilities which I would like to develop further .
Yesterday I had an awakening to find out more about my spiritual development and today I was thinking about my dream to help others as I've had addictions too and feel on some kind of a level that I could relate .
Which is another reason Lys might be coming up in the cards to help my self esteem or addictions (not that I have many but I still have a few things I could call addictions) I am sick still and not doing anything but I'm still having my few glasses of wine which is making me think ... Is this why she's come up in my cards?
She could even be coming up because I'm sick (with the flu) and I am healing at the moment .
Anyway , That's all for me for the day .
Hope your all well .

Love Ametrine xx

[mydnight_temptress]

To day I got #49 Mickle a Muckle.
Everyday blessings. Play. Mixed blessings.
So I need to play today! Explore life. Perhaps I need to find soemhing childlike that my daughter wants to do --and jsut do it with her :) Act like a 6 year old for the night :)

[wolf]

Ilbe the Retriever: Ilbe is trying to remind you of something you've lost--a hope, perhaps, or a dream. You may have thought it gone forever, but he is holding it out to you for reconsideration. He thinks you can do something with it now. The way may not be obvious, but his clever nose has scented a path, a potential opening for bringing this into your life. Sometimes, Ilbe may be saying that a long-awaited dream is at last arriving on the scene and there is nothing we need to do but open our hearts and minds to it. However, we usually have to work for it. Another attribute of Ilbe is loyalty.

I love the way that Ilbe has the flash of inspiration over his noggin! He remembers the pieces of myself that I forget to allow to be sometimes.

[LisaT4P]

# 11 Singer of Transfiguration

Well, the name sort of says it all. But, the red makes me think of a catalyst. 4 of the 7 chakras are illuminated here: throat, heart, solar & sacral (emphasis on the sacral). There are also flashes of light coming from what appear to perhaps be fingers in the "wings".

The transformation, metamorphosis, etc. could apply to several areas. In the more mundane sense, I have finally cleaned up the mess of June bills that Bodach was helping me with. On a more spiritual / personal level, I have realized my own worth to a certain extent... though it is a small revelation I think it is a meaningful one. :)

[ravenscape]

#40 Honesty

I think this is a reminder to temper scrupulous honesty with compassion and tact. I've had some rather untactful, but honest thoughts bubbling around, trying to get out today. I've erased stuff I've typed several times in the last couple hours.

[mydnight_temptress]

Ravenscape I am on the same page as you today!
Honesty #40. I think if anything this might be warnng me not to sugarcoat things--but then also don'tbe so brutally honest that I hurt someones feelings. I think is definately work related in my case.

On a side note last ngiht my daughter wanted me to play her computer game (JUmpstart 2nd grade). Really didnt want too--in fact I started telling her no. Then I remembered my reading yesterday where I got #49 Mickle a Muckle and figured I better play with her so the faries don't get on me for nto listening to them!

[River]

Is this thread only for spreads of the day or also a place for discussion about the cards?

[LisaT4P]

I believe everyone is currently just pulling a card a day and discussing the card they got in relation to what is currently going on.

Do you have a specific card you'd like to discuss? Ravenscape, I'm not sure if River should post that here, or if you'd rather start a new thread and discuss one particular card in depth there. Let me know if that's what you want to do and I can start an index thread for that sort of thing.

[LisaT4P]

#44 Lys of the Shadow

A very moth-like creature. Most of the energy seems be surrounding the third-eye & crown chakras, as well as some energy bubbles / balls / orbs in the hands.

Oooh, I can relate to both of her aspects today. I was thinking of a drug-addicted friend and how I hadn't heard from him in a while. I was worrying. I was also thinking of a young one I know who was having surgery yesterday and wondering how it went. I was also feeling kind of down about my weight loss progress and thinking of eating more ice-cream (which certainly wouldn't help!) LOL. Lys is telling me to get with the program I think, and also that I need to do more Reiki work! :D

[LisaT4P]

#7 Singer of Intuition

Well, I probably already have the answer, I'm just not being still enough to hear it, I suppose. ;)

[LisaT4P]

#48 A Collective of Pixies

These little guys always remind me of aliens...

Alright, apparently I've been bitching too much about my job lately, and the pixies are tired of hearing it. Lemons, lemonade, vodka & all that sort of thing. ;)

[LisaT4P]

#52 The Rarr

When I first saw this card, it made me think of that scary metallic ball from the movie Phantasm. Don't know what I"m talking about? Click here (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.zone-sf.com/images/phantasm4.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.zone-sf.com/phantasms.html&h=475&w=332&sz=9&hl=en&start=9&tbnid=H--YHYL4G7IduM:&tbnh=129&tbnw=90&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dphantasm%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den).

Rarr represents wild energy. It just adds to whatever else is going on. Adding fuel to the fire. What is going on? I have no idea! LOL But, I'd better find out soon and harness the extra energy I'm being given. The trick is to not let it carry me away with it. :)

[wolf]

I get this a lot.

I work in a nuthouse. Literally. Very unpredictable, and I have to just forge through everything that's going on.


Undressing of a Salad

Starter Reading: Things are in motion and the outcome is impossible to predict. A cool head is required to deal with this, as is a readiness to jump in whatever direction seems appropriate. Exercise cool judgement while staying ready for the unpredictable. Sudden changes of fortune may appear good or bad, but they are in flux and can be rechanneled if necessary. Develop poise, stay calm. You can come out a winner here, but it is likely to take concentrated effort. Use power with delicacy and discretion.

[odd_duck71]

Would it be okay to ask for help interpreting a five card spread here, or should I start another thread?

[LisaT4P]

#4 He of the Fiery Sword

Will power, much? Nope, not really. I haven't been able to stick with the plan at all for the last few weeks. I've lost my Give a Damn. :)

I guess I need to find it, huh?

[LisaT4P]

Today I got the Faery Guide.

My card is still blank. :) Perhaps it is time to do a meditation and meet my guide? I think so. I will try to do that this evening. :)

[aranarose]

Today I got the Faery Guide.

My card is still blank. :) Perhaps it is time to do a meditation and meet my guide? I think so. I will try to do that this evening. :)

My Guide is still blank too. Partly because I can't draw, but also because everytime I draw it, I see something different, so I don't want to lock it down into one particular faery.

Today I asked for some guidance on my very sticky and complicated marital situation. I drew The Topsie Turvets. Guess it's time to take one more look at things from yet another angle, though that's going to be a tad bit difficult. I've already analyzed this thing to death and am not sure what to do, but I guess I keep going at the analyzing :)

[River]

(Sorry for my absence. I moved and only just got the internet up and running.)

My Faery Guide card was a challenge. I can't draw to save my life and I knew I wouldn't be able to tack it's personality down in one drawing. So I did some meditations and was eventually presented with a symbol that s/he wanted to represent him/her.



Today I drew...

3: The Guardian at the Gate

This card symbolizes new beginnings. Today I need to accept change and welcome the end of bad feelings and actions to usher in new, positive ones.

General feelings about he card: I try to base this portion of my reading on basic instinct and first impressions. I love when I draw singer cards. The amorphous figures and bright colors on the calm, black background awake a feeling of ease in me. This is a purely positive card, invoking feelings of excitement for new adventures, resolution of the end of bad occurrences or habits, and the gratitude of change.

[aranarose]

Oh good gods....

Arval Parrot
He comes up for me a LOT. Communication is a HUGE problem in my relationship, misunderstandings are very common, and it's something we've been struggling with for a very, very long time. Here he is again saying that we need to keep working on it, but also that I need to open up more. I've been holding back some of my feelings, and some of the things that I want to say to him, and I guess I need to just find a way to let them out.

[River]

15: The Journeyman

Again! I'm sure I shuffled the deck fine. This has never happened to me before. Apparently I missed something. Let me look at the book.

Okay. It seems that I am branching out. This card can sometimes be called "Innocence encounters reality" Which isn't a bad thing. I am no longer a child, I am becoming independent. 1. So what am I doing to make my future better? 2. Am I ready to go out on my own, without someone to look after me? 3. What are my goals? 4. What am I doing to reach them?

1. To make my future better, I am striving to be more spiritual, for wherever life takes me, even in the darkest pit, i will always have the light of god/dess to help me.

2. Not entirely. I need to find the confidence in myself. If I want to be seen as an adult, I have to behave like one. One instance I can think of is when Dalin and I were going to get him enrolled in BSU. We drove all the way there to find Dalin anxious about walking into the admissions room. I had to practically drag him in. One phrase that comes to mind is "fake it till you make it." If you fake confidence, it will eventually come to you. With Dalin, I felt a sense of responsibility, which bolstered my confidence. I need to be able to see my own needs as responsibilities too.


3. My goals are to go to college, major in something and have a career that I love and excel in. I want to be financially comfortable, married, maybe have children, and be HAPPY.

4. To reach these goals? There is not much to do other than what I am doing now. i am taking hard classes this year to impress colleges. I have found someone who I want to marry and wants to marry me someday and we have tossed around the idea of children (in the distant future, of course)

What I need to do still, is take my studying seriously. I NEED to stop being a procrastinator. I need to do my work slowly and with attention to detail. I need to focus.

I can do it. Innocence encounters reality. Innocence encounters reality with optimism and enthusiasm.


Sorry I don't post here everyday, as I should, but you can find all my entries in my blog, if i forget.



P.s. I LOVE THIS THREAD!

[aranarose]

Today's card for me was:

18. The Lady of the Harvest

This is a time of change for me. I'm starting to shed some of the old things in my life, physically, mentally, emotionally, and am trying to prepare fertile soil for new things to come into my life.

[LeannanSidhe]

I'm going to jump in. I have had my Faeries Oracle deck for awhile and today I drew The Singer of Transfiguration which indicates,transformation,transcendence,metamorphosis.


It says Jackpot!! This card signifies the joy of success after a time of struggle. A new way has been accepted and is being integrated. A sense of inner peace is growing. The struggle has all been worth it. This is a time of consolidation and joy, and is both a reward for past achievements and a time for preparation for the next climb up the path.

Not sure how this all applies to my life. I feel as tho I'm still stagnating in my place of residence with a frusturation of wanting to relocate and have not had a resolve of a close relationship that I miss.

[aranarose]

I got the Friends, and it's a puzzling card for me today. My husband, who left to be with his pregnant girlfriend (who is also my ex-girlfriend) because she decided she didn't want to share anymore, wants to be friends, and it's something I am struggling with. I'll really have to work on getting into this card today.

[aranarose]

Haven't been very good about my daily draw. Life's been carrying me away lately. Between classes, work, and dealing with all the other chaos... I really need to work on getting my daily draw done. So, a bit late for the day, here it is:

Laiste, Moon's Daughter - This is not a card that I get often. She's got this odd look on her face, like, "Haha. I know something that you don't know, and you're going to LOVE it, but I'm not telling you what it is!" I hate surprises, I've had too many of them over the last few months, but maybe it would be nice to have a good surprise. And I see speed. Her wings, and if you notice her legs are the legs of a horse. Something's coming very, very soon.

[LeannanSidhe]

Today I pulled "Death" Reversed which indicates important change is being blocked or delayed by clinging to old habits or things and therefore the changes that need to happen appear to be difficult and forced upon us.

I have a feeling this might have something to do with letting go of a relationship and accepting this change of being apart for which I have been having a hard time with lately. I love how the faes always tell it like it is and never mince words like you get with some other decks!!!!!!!!

[aranarose]

Today I drew Tobaira of the Waters, who is oddly appropriate for how I'm feeling about today, and tonight.
