I finally received the Faeries Oracle, made by Brian Froud, and combined it with my copy of his Heart of Faerie Oracle.  I bought for this joined deck a really nice bag from BabaStudio.

So here is my daily reading for the day…

Card 1 Today: Prince of Skulls

coins12250

My mother is a Taurus, just like this card, which makes it her significator card, so that could mean I could receive news from my mother or news about her.  It could also means that I will be inspired about a material project.

Card 2 Surprise: Five of Grails

cups05250

I’m guessing a negative event will be painful today and I will have regrets about it.  I will feel lonely and miserable.

Card 3 Advice: Eight of Grails

cups08250

The advice for today is to not let those toxic and dark emotions consume me.  I should try to life myself up from all that and distance myself emotionally from the situation.

Which fae will be my companion for the day: 38 The Pan (Heart of Faerie Oracle)

card38250

Well look at that, I got the exact same card than last time.  I get the feeling he is here to help me lift myself up today and give me courage, relating to the advice card, and to try to reach the stars, a place of healing and safety.

I’ve started a One Deck Wonder for the Tarot of Vampyres (from the Aeclectic Tarot Forum), and wanted to use another tarot too but with pips to decompress, the Truth-Seeker’s Tarot.  So I decided to purchase a book from the author about his tarot but alas the first package got lost, the second one got stolen, and I have no idea if I’ll ever get the third.  So I’ve decided instead to use an oracle, something new, I’ve ordered and received the Heart of Faerie Oracle, and I’m still waiting for the Faeries Oracle, both made by Brian Froud.

So here is my daily reading for the day…

Card 1 Today: III Empress

03250

I think this has something to do with home and family.  The Empress, as the Mother, rules over the home over her family.  And I’m a homebody, I really love being home.  And it’s important for my mental health that I live in a good place, otherwise it affects me negatively and depresses me.   I’ve been living with many pieces of furniture, from Ikea because it was all I could afford, that I simply cannot stand.  Now that I’m in my new apartment, and have more money, I really hope to be able to get new furniture to replace the ugly ones.  And well, my mother’s friends are giving me two nice furniture, a desk and an armchair, and I should get them today, so I’m really happy about that.  It’s one step toward the ideal home I want to have.

Card 2 Surprise: Lord of Scepters

wands14250

Maybe I will get a message or a letter today.  It could mean that someone could do a little trip and come to my place unexpectedly.  Maybe I’ll receive the aggression from someone today.

Card 3 Advice: Nine of Knives

swords09250

I should do my best not to  be self-destructive today.  I should avoid any contact from cruel people.

Which fae will be my companion for the day: 38 The Pan

card38250

He seems to be inviting me to the journey he’s planning to do, he wants me to come with him.  I should ask him for courage to live life and its numerous adventures… and misfortunes.  There is a first step I must take.

Here are my cards for today:

Card 1 Today: Queen of Knives

swords13250

Maybe I will need to use my Swords deductive brainy skills to resolve a problem.  I’m a Swords person, usually comes up as the Prince (Thoth) / Knight (RWS) for Aquarius.  I really love this card, she’s got that "I don’t tolerate fools, don’t mess with me" attitude, which is exactly the one I have.  Unfortunately due to my dumb/naive look people never take me seriously, and it attracts the wrong kind of people, I’ve had to deal in my life with suckers who thought I’d be easy to manipulate, the future abusive guys.  I’ve never been naive or sweet.  I wish I had that dangerous look instead, they’d run for their lives.  MMUUAHHHH!!!!!

Card 2 Surprise: I The Magician

01250

I guess that could represents a gifted charismatic person that I could have contact with today.  That could represents a con man who will try to sell me a "too-good-to-be-true something.  Can I poke him?

Card 3 Advice: Three of Grails

cups03250

I still see this card as a way to tell me to open up and be more generous, because I’m the complete opposite.

Maybe I will nurture a project today.  Or maybe since I plan to call my mother later today it indicates her.

coins01250

A seed of an earthly level will bloom and will provide new opportunities for me.

Card 3 Advice: Lord of Grails

cups14250

The advice for today is to not let negative emotions drive me or drown me emotionally.  Like this Lord I should slaughter them instead.

Here are my cards for today:

Card 1 Today: Four of Knives

swords04250

Today I should take it easy and rest.  I should try to find a place where I feel safe.  It could be a time to commune with the Gods.

Card 2 Surprise: XVI The Tower

16250

Well, it’s either a disaster of sort that will crush and destroy some aspects of myself or my life, or it could be about being hit by the lighting and getting inspired.

Card 3 Advice: Ace of Scepters

wands01250

I see with the Ace here that I should be careful about my vitality today.  I have less vitality than most people, and I have to be careful about that.

Here are my cards for today:

Card 1 Today: Eight of Knives

swords08250

I will try to do something today and something will happen that will not allow me to do it.  Blockages and delays will affect my day.  Or maybe the card says that I will be distant and ignore others pleas for help.

Card 2 Surprise: Three of Skulls

coins03250

Maybe I will be offered partnership on a project

Card 3 Advice: Three of Grails

cups03250

I know it’d been a while since I touched my cards or blogged about any reading.  2012 was a tough year for me.  And after that I’ve been busy with the move.  And my place is still filled with boxes which is kind of depressing.  Many of my decks are still in boxes, but I kept my Tarot of Vampyres close to me.  Here is my reading for today:

Card 1 Today: Five of Skulls

coins05250

I will let my fears run rampant today and tear at me inside, I will worry about things.

Card 2 Surprise: Eight of Scepters

wands08250

The surprise could be a news or an email, or something related to the internet.

Card 3 Advice: Ten of Scepters

wands10250

I see with the fears running rampant and free with the Five of Skulls, and this card showing a position of loss of control and helplessness, that my advice today, is to gain back control, and my power along with it, and get out of this sticky situation.

Here are my cards for today:

Card 1 Today: VII The Chariot

07200

Well, today I have to make a trip to the mall, to do some shopping, and the grocery after that, so I’m not really surprised to see I got this card.  The Chariot can implicate a trek of some sort.

Card 2 Surprise: Ten of Scepters

wands10200

With this card I see that I should make sure not to overdo it today, to ensure not to get a bad surprise, that would cause stress and frustration.

Card 3 Advice: Ace of Knives

swords01200

With this card I see I should focus on my goals today and to keep my head clear of mental confusions as well.

Card Today: 14 Marie Masquerade

14200

I have the feeling the only way to be loved for who I am is not through my talent and style but through glamour and glitz.  There is gossip and intrigue around someone I admire and wish to be like in some way.  I will feel jealousy and envy towards people who are beautiful, successful and be-loved.  I should focus on my own hard work and create my own style.  Some are around others simply for the influence and help they can offer.  Someone like Marie who is beautiful and successful may be in need a for  true friend.  Someone very charming may try to tempt me to get involved in intrigues, I should refuse.

Here are my cards for today:

Card 1 Today: Daughter of Scepters

wands11200

I think this card means that I’m starting something, a new area of study, which I’m going to do tonight in our pagan group, and our lead is a red-headed woman.

Card 2 Surprise: Eight of Scepters

wands08200

This could be a message that I’ll get.  Maybe my mind will be filled today with ideas and inspirations, I will make some realizations.  After all we have work tonight to do just that.

Card 3 Advice: VIII Justice

11200

The advice could be about me being fair and just with others and myself today.  It could also be about balancing things.

Card Today: 44 The Fairy of the Green World

44200

I should take care of plants to counteract the damages done to Nature.  I should learn to have a more ecological living and donate money to charities supporting nature and wildlife.  I should take a walk in nature, give my blessings to it and talk to this fairy.

Monthly Reading for February 2012

Posted on by Strange Realms

I know I have not been posting much, but my mother has been at the hospital since december and I’ve been doing regular trips to the hospital, so I don’t have much time for myself.  I made this reading at the end of january but just came about to finish writing it down.  I’m reusing the same spread of last time since I like it so much.

HOUSE: Ace of Grails & Seven of Knives

cups01200swords07200

I think these cards could be about two things.

The first is that my mother’s health has been very bad recently and she has spent over a month at the hospital, and she’s not out yet.  I love her and care for her but I’ve been feeling helpless not knowing exactly how to help her while she’s at the hospital and unable to take care of her things.  Since she has never made a mandate in case of incapacity, I cannot access anything or do anything in her name.  Most of the things I did in january got me nowhere.  And since my mother is still at the hospital I will be in the same situation in february.

The other thing is that my relationship between my brother and I has always been rocky but we hit a wall recently.  I love and care for my brother but he has built these unreachable walls.  I learned a few things from him very recently, and it has left me upset and angry.  But I cannot reach him in any way.

HEALTH: Daughter of Skulls + Lord of Skulls

coins11200coins14200

I think it will be important for me to be extra grounded this month to avoid exhaustion.  With all these trips and the stress my mother’s condition is causing me, it’s important to find time for myself to ground and relax.

LOVE: Two of Scepters + Eight of Scepters

wands02200wands08200

I will channel energies to open myself and bring love to me.  Possible encounter or chatter over the internet with someone.

MATERIAL: Daughter of Grails + Daughter of Scepters

cups11200wands11200

New love and passion will arise this month which will make me spend money on new shiny pretty things, like a tarot deck, an oracle and a cute messenger bag.

MONTH: Lord of Knives

swords14200

Well, I’ve spent the month doing trips to the hospital, same for last month, and it will continue throughout the month.  I’ve just heard about a spiritual trip to Wales for 2013, and while I’m broke I’m tempted to try to go there so that could be that too.
