The Singer of Transfiguration

Yay!! The jackpot card...

If you've been experiencing a time of struggle or hardship, this card assures you that this is about to end, if it hasn't already. These tough times were a period of initiation and through them, you have reached a new level of being and instigated deep transformation within yourself. It's almost like you have been put to the test, and now have stepped through the gate of transfiguration.

A new way of life has been accepted and things will never be the same again...and this is a good thing! This card heralds a time of fulfillment and accomplishment, success and power, joy and inner peace - and it doesn't get much better than that!

View this card turning up today as a reward for past achievements and a time now of preparation for the next climb up the path.

Faery Message for Friday 30th September 2011

He of the Fiery Sword

It is time for action! This is the card of pure Yang energy and when he turns up in a reading, it indicates that now is a good time to tackle all those things you have been putting off, the things that are going to require a lot of effort, or time, or willpower.

If you have tough decisions to make, this card reassures you that you will find the most suitable and most compassionate way to move forward - all you have to do is ask for assistance (from the faeries, the angels, the universe, the Tao, God/dess - whatever feels right to you) and you will receive it. He of the Fiery Sword also provides us with the strength and willpower we need when we are bursting the bonds of an outgrown way of being, and moving on to the next level.

An amazingly energising and positive card...if you open yourself up to the presence of He of the Fiery Sword, I guarantee you'll have a fantastic kick-ass day! ;)

Faery Message for Thursday 29th September 2011

The Lady of the Harvest

This card can sometimes be associated with loss, regret and grief, as she is the card of letting go of what is finished and moving onto the next phase of your life.

Sometimes, letting go can be a joyful thing, for instance, letting go of old traumas, tasks or stages in your life that you are glad to have finished, unhappy relationships and feelings that cause you pain and inhibit your growth.

So, release and liberation can be painful or joyful, depending on the circumstances. Cry if you need to, celebrate if that's appropriate - the important thing is that you accept the changes in your life, trust the process, acknowledge what you feel and then prepare to move on to better days.

Faery Message for Wednesday 28th September 2011

The Faery who was Kissed by the Pixies

This card is all about pure, unconditional love and recommends that we open our hearts to this now.

We're not just talking romantic love here, this encompasses all types of love and committed relationships. Sometimes, it is a bit scary to open our hearts in this way, as it leaves us vulnerable to loss and grief - once bitten, swice shy and all that - but this card assures us that there is no pain that is not balanced by the greater joy of love.

So, if you have closed your heart down for fear of being hurt, now is a good time to open up again. Know that it is totally safe and by doing so you are, in effect, inviting in and welcoming changes for the better to take place in all areas of your life, but especially in relationships.

Faery Message for Monday 26th September 2011

Spirit Dancer

This is the card of self-expression through creativity.

If you are working on a creative project, Spirit Dancer is encouraging you to share this with others. This can be quite a scary thing to do...when you are working on something that is important to you and then you share it with others, you are really putting yourself on the line and letting them see your true self. There is always the fear that they won't "get it" or worse still, that they will criticize or ridicule you. Spirit Dancer acknowledges these risks, but assures you that sharing your creativity now will be a good thing; if you reach out from this illusion of separateness, you are reaffirming your essential connections with other people and this is very important for clarifying your vision and releasing even more of the creative potential within you.

So, be brave, take a deep breath and let them see what you're really about!

Faery Message for Sunday 25th September 2011

The Dark Lady

The Dark Lady is all about profound inner change, and may even signify a time of rebirth.

She says it is important now to withdraw from the ordinary as much as possible and to avoid being "busy-busy". This is a special time, what is hidden is getting ready to be revealed - imagine it like seeds about to sprout out of the earth - and you may find you want to spend some time alone.

Work on your inner world, on your self-awareness and self-knowledge and you will be surprised by how your psychic powers develop and how magic suddenly starts to happen in your life. Retreat, meditate, seek serenity and inner peace.

Go with the flow here and don't resist these changes; understand that they are all a part of the natural cycle of life.

Faery Message for Saturday 24th September 2011

The Faun

If there is an area of your life that seems "stuck" somehow, the Faun is here to reassure you that this is not the case.

He is telling you that stuckness is just an illusion; something we believe in simply because we are caught up in self-limiting beliefs that we've more than likely inherited from parents, teachers, peers, or society as a whole.

The Faun says it's a good idea right now to go spend some time in nature; take a walk, sit in your garden or a park, look at the clouds or the night sky and really observe the natural processes and changes going on around you. Mother Nature never stands still, she is always up to something, and the natural magic that flows through her, flows through us too...if we allow it to. It's nothing less than our birthright.

By re-connecting with nature you will open up to the natural flow of life. The stuck becomes un-stuck, the blocked becomes un-blocked and changes for the better can then happen in your life...as is by magic!

Faery Message for Thursday 22nd September 2011

Arval Parrot

Arval Parrot, pointing to his throat chakra here, is the card of communication.

Good, clear communication is a vitally important right now. Be as articulate as you can, and be willing to calmly discuss and debate issues and ideas with others.

Really listen to what other people are saying, and it's not always necessarily the words coming out of their mouths! Try to pick up on the unspoken feelings and thoughts, watch for body language and incomplete sentences.

It's very easy for communications to become blocked, and if you are in a position where you need to state your case and you know it's going to be tricky, try calling on the help of Arval Parrot and you will be surprised at how flowingly the conversation goes.

Ffaff the Ffooter

If life is feeling chaotic right now, with lots of surprising, unexpected and perhaps exciting stuff going on, leaving you feeling in a bit of a spin...STOP!!!

There is a huge need to be grounded right now, and it is important that you do not make important decisions, or take any action, until your feet are firmly back on terra firma.

The reason this is happening is because there is important information coming your way, which is likely to be life-changing and life-enhancing...but you do need to be properly grounded and centred in order to receive it.

Either go outside and stamp about on the grass in your bare feet for a few minutes, or close your eyes and do a grounding visualisation. Imagine golden light streaming into your body, entering through the crown of your head, filling you entirely right the way down to your feet. Now imagine that there are tree roots attached to the soles of your feet, and they reach deep, deep into the earth, imbued by the golden light, until they reach a huge smokey quartz crystal. The light illuminates the crystal, the roots wrap firmly around it and you breathe slowly and deeply for a few moments, feeling yourself connecting firmly and lovingly to Mother Earth.

Now you are grounded and connected...and ready for anything!

Myk the Myomancer

A Myomancer searches for the meaning of life, the universe and everything by observing the movements of mice, so what this card symbolises is a need to pay attention to the little details right now.

The universe is communicating with you all day long, but its messages very rarely appear blazoned on bill-boards or on the side of a bus. You have to slow down and look for hidden meanings in ordinary, everyday things and happenings. Try asking for clarity and guidance so that you don't miss any useful messages being sent your way. Life is trying to teach you something by speaking to you gently and the answers you seek and the things you need to know are all around you.

You are surrounded by omens, signs and portents which will be really helpful to you on your life path...you just have to be awake and alert to notice them!

Faery Message for Sunday 18th September 2011

Solus

This is a very energizing and action-based card.

Solus is bringing light and radiance into your life, and when he turns up in a reading, you can rest assured that things are moving forward in the right direction. Something new is being brought into being in your life, something that you have been, and probably still are, putting much effort into. Solus is letting you know that your efforts will pay off and that you are receiving help from other realms too. He encourages you to stand on your own two feet and to give yourself credit for your own strengths and good qualities...now is a time to learn to trust and depend on yourself.

Movement into the light is occurring and you can expect a run of miracles! Enjoy them, be grateful for them, and be sure to pass your blessings on by doing whatever you can to help and serve others.

The Topsie Turvets

When the Topsie Turvets turn up in a reading, this suggests that things need to be looked at from a different angle.

Defensiveness or denial may be causing problems here and it is important now to let go of the need to be right all the time. Try to stop saying "ought" and "should" and back off from your own emotional entanglement.

I know it's sometimes very difficult for any of us to accept that there might actually be a point of view different to our own that is equally as valid (!!) but this is one of those times where it would really help to let go of the attachment to your own opinion and see things through someone else's eyes.

There is always more than one way to look at any situation, and right now, it would be beneficial for you to take a step back and look anew from a different perspective. Who knows, you might even find it works better for you!

Faery Message for Friday 16th September 2011

Iris of the Rainbows

If you are experiencing a hard time in any area of your life right now, Iris reassures you that light is breaking through the present darkness.

Hope is a powerful factor in speeding up this process, so do try to keep as positive as you can - hope, prayer and faith are all crucial right now. No matter how bad things seem, there is something to be gained by this passage through the storm and the sooner you learn what that is, the sooner the storm will end.

Be patient with yourself - there is brightness and beauty coming your way...Iris is offering you the light of hope and the promise of healing and joy to come.

Faery Message for Thursday 15th September 2011

Penelope Dreamweaver

Penelope is the Inspiration Faery. If you are involved in any kind of creative enterprise, she would like to speak to you.

Sometimes, we can take our creative ideas a little bit too seriously, and expect ourselves to be absolutely perfect - we must write the perfect poem or story, paint the perfect picture, make the perfect culinary masterpiece, create the perfect garden, make the perfect tune, sculpt the perfect piece, design the perfect dress etc etc. The problem with this is that when we inevitably fail to achieve these high expectations, our creative energy can very easily sour within us.

If this is your tendency at play (and I'll be the first to raise my hand!), then Penelope is encouraging you to lighten up a bit. It is important to have fun with your creativity, whatever form it takes. Pay attention to your dreams, pay attention to your day-dreams and actively seek visions and inspirations. Stop trying so hard and focus more on doing the things that renew and inspire you. Cut loose from the mundane world for a while and give yourself time to enjoy your own fantasies and dreams.

Understand that there is always guidance and inspiration available to you when you are engaged in the creative process. View this as your muse or inner genie and if you can step back for a moment and allow that inspiration to break through from your subconscious to your conscious mind, you will be amazed at the results.

Faery Message for Wednesday 14th September 2011

The Singer of the Chalice

The Singer of the Chalice contains all the natural energies of the cosmos, the same energies that flow through us...when we let them.

We tend to put labels on these energies, and on our feelings - such as trust, patience, hope, joy, love and so on, and believe that we have to actively seek out each one in order to feeltrusting, patient, hopeful etc etc. This Singer is telling us that this is not the case, and that it is actually much easier than we believe!

Every positive, blissful, ecstatic energy in the universe is contained and combined in the Chalice and all we have to do is to actively invite them to flow through us. Don't complicate things...just ask!

If you consciously open yourself up in this way, all the good feelings rolled into one will flow through you and radiate out from you, brightening everybody's day.

Faery Message for Tuesday 13th September 2011

Geeeeooo the Slooow

In a nutshell, this card is encouraging you to slow down!!!

Geeeeooo is telling you that there is nothing to be gained right now by rushing about and metaphorically trying to "push the river" - all this will do is cause you stress. Realise that this situation or issue is part of a long process - one that cannot be hurried - so you might as well settle yourself in for the long haul and set a pace that you can maintain for as long as needed, while remaining relaxed and patient.

If you find this frustrating, contemplate Mother Nature. The sun rises and sets at its proper time, the earth and the moon circle each other perfectly, fruit ripens, flowers bloom, rivers flow, trees grow, crystals form...the list goes on and on...and none of these natural processes are hurried or forced...they just happen of themselves in perfect order.

When you are busy rushing around with the idea that you are making things good for later you are missing out on the now. And now is all you truly have...so take some time to smell the roses!!!

Faery Message for Monday 12th September 2011

Gawtcha

This is the card of sudden shocks, rude awakenings and unexpected events. Not necessarily "bad" surprises, they can be happy or pleasant ones too, but whenever Gawtcha turns up in a reading, something you were totally unprepared for is likely to be just around the corner.

Whether "good" or "bad" when something unexpected happens in our lives, it can really knock us for six, and throw us totally off kilter. Gawtcha recommends that you look to see what it is you are supposed to learn from the situation and re-gain your balance and composure as quickly as possible. This has happened for a good reason - no matter how it may appear at first - and is necessary to help you break free of existing structures, habits, patterns, attitudes and beliefs that are, in fact, now holding you back. You are being given nothing less than the opportunity to release yourself from your own self-imposed limitations.

Even if you feel some confusion and disorientation, trust the process - breakdown can lead to breakthrough.

Faery Message for Sunday 11th September 2011

HImself

This is a very powerful card - one of pure, wild yang energy.

Shamans and healers draw on the power of Himself and you may be finding lots of magical, mystical events happening right now which seem to be drawing you to a new level of caring and serving.

When Himself is around, he energizes everything you do, every thought you think, so it is very important right now to make the most of this flush of energy, but to make sure you are grounded, centered and channelling it properly. There is a risk of over-doing things and becoming drained or depressed...or even of getting a little bit too full of your own importance and coming across as arrogant!!

Balance is called for and if you use the energy of Himself for the greater good of all, with integrity and an attitude of unconditional love and giving, then great vitality, success, triumph and achievement are assured.

Faery Message for Saturday 10th September 2011

The Pook

This is the card of seeming contradictions and paradoxes in your life.

Things may seem confusing right now, and your mind may be all of a muddle - one minute thinking one thing, the next minute thinking the opposite. The Pook is suggesting that you let go of your need to put "good/bad" labels on everything, and realise that there is always some good in bad, and some bad in good. Not everything is clear black and white - there's a lot of grey area in between too!

The information you need right now, or the right way forward, is available to you, but it cannot come through if you have a rigid mindset. Try not to get too bogged down with it all. Relax, wait, stay alert and you will soon have a burst of insight and "get it".

Resolution is within sight.

Faery Message for Friday 9th September 2011

Tobaira of the Waters

Well, yet again just like the last two days' messages, Tobaira speaks of changes coming into your life, changes that are more than likely unexpected and perhaps even appear to be imposed on you by other people.

If you feel that you have no choice in certain changes happening in your life, that things are out of your control, remember that you do have a choice as to how you meet those changes. You can go with the flow towards the calm purity of the faery waters, or you can plunge yourself into the boiling cauldron of hot temper and steamy emotions. The choice seems obvious, but we are all guilty of forgetting that we even have a choice in the heat of the moment. Tobaira is reminding you that how you react to change determines your future.

It may not seem like it at the time, but as long as the things you really need in life remain constant - love and nurturing - then you can be assured that all change is, in fact, good.
