Three Card

Filed under: Daily Draws — Nicoll @ 2:34 am November 3, 2011

Past – The Queen of the Golden Bough
Support/Soul Healing/Equilibrium
This is the queen of all things spiritual, of healing, and of transformation. If you choose the Queen of the Golden Bough, you are calling on the help of one of the true healing spirits of Faerie. You are seeking healing on a very ancient and fundamental level. Your need to heal and change may be so deeply embedded in your psyche that you may not even know it is there. This queen calls for the healing of “world” sorrow, and the sorrow that wells up inside of of you without having a specific cause that you can pinpoint. Listing to what the Queen of the Golden Bough has to tell you. She asks you to let go and allow her healing presence to nurture you. When you feel an overwhelming sadness that takes you byu surprise, a sadness that seems to spring from the depths of your soul, meditating on this card can help you rebalance your emotions. It may also be time to let go of emotions that are stopping you from healing. These may be emotions that have a more tangible cause but still overwhelm you at surprising times. Take a long look at how these emotions made you feel in the past, how you are feeling at this moment, and then let the card do its transformational work to lead you into the future.

Present – The Queen of Passage
Surrender/Transition/Trust
All things Change. All situations move from one phase into another. Sometimes those transitions are difficult. Letting go and moving on, whether to a new life, a new love, or perhaps just a new phase of a current relationship, can be painful, but the Queen of Passage is there to help with those transitions. She looks ahead with the keen sight of the kestrel and can see the future with the wisdom of the raven. She holds a pomegranate, a sign of fertility. There is growth in the future. There is a way ahead. The darkness comes as ou step from one stage to another. The moment of passage between the past and future, between the worlds themselves, is a moment of surrender.
Trust this great queen to be your guide. Listen to what she has to tell you and then take that step. She will be by your side in the moment you move out of the past and into the future.

Future – The Rox
Manipulation/Neediness/Make an Effort
The poor Rox – always ill. Sniffles, aches and pains, a slight temperature – he just can’t gather the energy to help himself but he always has enough energy to get you to help him. He is after all the king and being the king means having servants. Not that he wouldn’t help himself if he only felt up to it, but in the meantime just be a dear and fix him a little something to eat, preferably expensive and time-consuming to make but it’s just the thing to make him feel better and you do want to help him get well don’t you? And would you go out and pick up his dry-cleaning? He would do it himself but he’s not feeling up to it and besides it’s too cold to risk going out and you remember what happened last time, don’t you? But you’ll be fine – a brisk walk is just the thing for you.
Do you know someone like this? This person is a master of manipulation. He can get you to do anything for him because he uses guilt as a finely honed tool. It’s very difficult to say no to someone as needy as this person appears to be, but every once in a while try saying that you just can’t do whatever it is he’s asking of you. This may come as a shock to the Rox – he isn’t used to being denied anything, but it will begin to restore the balance in your relationship. If you recognize yourself in the Rox, think about the reasons you ask people to do things for you that you are perfectly capable of foing. Is it the desire to control a person or a situation, or do you really need help? Combine the Rox with the Speaker of Truth and find the answer for yourself.

Miracle cards – Miracles – In asking for miracles, we are seeking a practical goal: a return to inner peace. We’re not asking for something outside us to change, but for something inside us to change.

Love Tarot – The Emperor – The Emperor is the archetype of the father, an authority figure who acts as head of the family. He brings stability and reason. He carries the imperial orb and scepter, symbols of his powerful status, and his shield bears the eagle, emblem of paternalism and protection. His sign is forceful Aries, rules bu Mars, planet of war. The Emperor is the counterpart of The Empress, so he may be a parent or partner.

GaiaStar Codex – JuiceJoy – JuiceJoy love what they do. Singing the seeds of paradise into manifest form is a sublime pleasure.
The empowerment from JuiceJoy is translation. Vibration is the root language, the source code that generates every reality. The SeedSingers translate this source code into seedsongs that unfold the GaiaStar realm. You can do this, too, by coming into harmony with the GaiaStar seed-being. In this state of resonant alignment, you form a sound bridge over which the nascent global being can emerge into full reality.
In theology, translation means going straight to heaven without dying. The GaiaStar reality interpenetrares with our current Earth. You get there by widening your perception and allowing your own vibrational patterning to shift. If you resonate with the new Earth, you will gradually tube yourself to its upgraded vibrations. JuiceJoy invite you to sing your way through the glory portal into a familiar yet reborn world.

Animal Messages – Owl – Seek out deeper knowledge to see through deception
If Owl has glided into your cards, the time has come to seek the hidden as Owl seeks prey beneath the deep, crisp snow. Arcane knowledge, deep within the ageless traditions of white magic, will now reveal itself if you quiet your mind and explore the mysteries beyond; your perceptions will be such that others will be utterly unable to deceive you. Like Owl you will absorb the benign and nourishing and discard the destructive, imbuing your life with intense meaning.

Crystal Ally – Rhodochrosite – Child Within

Wolf Song – Ferret – Search for truth or answers

The Fairies Oracle – Myk the Myomancer – Small clues/Details/The messages everywhere/Patience
A myomancer reads the past, present, and potential of all being in the movements of mice. Myk is particularly fond of field mice, as they are livelier and better fed than church mice. Myk could learn the same things by reading berries or patterns made by fallen leaves or any one of a billion other things, but his speciality is mice. He can learn endless things from the way they twitch their whiskers or hold their tails. He sees hidden information in the patterns of growth and coloration in their fur, the way the wind rumples it, and how they preen themselves.
Little things can tell us a lot. Everything bears messages about the universe around us. Studying the details sometimes enables us to deduce the whole.
The entire universe is one piece, and each fragment of that one Unity reflects and is connected to all the others. That famous philosopher Anonymous once said, “The lifting of a finger disturbs the farthest star.” Myk says it works the other way around, too. He advises us to make a slow and observant study of the little things and their even smaller details in the world around us. He says that such study not only helps us enhance our understanding of life, Unity, and everything, but it also helps to develop a joyful patience and a deeper philosophy.

The Heart of Faerie Oracle – The Prince Of Shadows – Danger/Addiction/Irresistible Urges
The Prince of Shadows is the bad boy of the Faerie Court. Whether it be the Light Court or the Dark Court, they each have their Prince of Shadows. He has great beauty. He is heartless. He is everything we wish for and everything that hurts us the most. Can we have a relationship with this being? Maybe. If we are strong enough or perhaps if we are heartless enough to meet him on his own terms, then yes, we can have a relationship. Will it be intense? Most definitely. Can it be addictive? Certainly. Will it be a warm and lasting relationship? I doubt it.
If this prince appears in a reading, ask yourself what it might refer to in your life. It may not be a physical person at all. It may be your state of mind at the moment. It is an irresistible urge for something that we know may harm us. Alcohol, drugs, shopping, computers, TV, even people – anything that can become addictive if indulged to excess. If this is someone in your life at the moment, then take a long look at your relationship. Is it heading into dark places that will harm you? Is it already there? If this is someone who i about to come into your life, then approach carefully. If this card is coupled with, for instance, the Queen of the Night, then beware temptations and dangers are heading your way. If you are going out for a night on the town, make sure you can find your way home again.

Angels Blessing – Kaeylarae – Peace

Power Tarot – Centering – Never leave your center. Count your bad points as well as your good. what is good and what is bad are most often purely relative. If you sense a weakness within yourself, explore it. It may become the source of your greatest strength. As you sit like a sacred Buddha amid the pandemonium of your life, always remember that the situation or person who has the ability to upset you the most, to pull you off center, is your greatest teacher in the process of centering. such negativity can become your addiction. Center yourself in your power, and release your need for constant distraction from your center.

Crystal Ally – Chrysocolla – Sacred Sounds

Animal Messages – Crocodile – “The alchemy of energy teaches that death will always yield new life”
Silently slipping through her riverine world, guardian of the margins between land and water, of the mud from which life springs, Crocodile is keeper of all knowledge. Her wisdom speaks both of the enduring nature of life and its utter fragility, of gentleness and ferocity of how death yields life and the constant transformation of all energy. If Crocodile has swum to you, the time has come to examine the primordial mysteries of life and prepare yourself for rebirth and the wonders it will bring.

GaiaStar Codex – Emerge – Peaceful, penetrating, wisdom-laden. Emerge equips you to make the leap. It is both summary and absolutely open-ended. Use it when you are ready to take off.
Ride the Emerge current out of the crystal cave into the light of complete appearance. You are a shining avatar of the heralded world. It’s time to let yourself be seen.

Love Tarot – Charity – Unconditional Love
Charity brings a love you can rely upon. Whatever your situation, you are loved for who you are, and you can offer unconditional love to others.

Miracle Cards – Perceiving Others – The places in our personality where we tend to deviate from love are not our faults, but our wounds. God doesn’t want to punish us, but to heal us. And that is how he wishes us to view the errors in other people: as their woundedness, not their guilt.

Wolf Song – Arctic Fox – Contradiction, conflict

Heart of Faerie Oracle – The Hope – Light in the Dark/Faith/Comfort
This is the faerie of dark despair. She is there in your darkest hour. We know people who have had her tattooed on their backs, and my question was, why would you want dark despair on your back? But then as I thought about it, I realized that she is there as a comfort. She feels despair and lives it with you, she helps you through it because the only thing to do it to go through it and come out the other side, free of that emotion. The little faerie hovering above her is hope. In all despair there is hope. It may be small and may seem insignificant but it is there. Hope is the bright spark, the tiny bit of magic that can turn the tide of despair. Wherever you find the faerie of dark despair, you will also find hope, in the wings of the faerie herself, in her garland of golden flowers. As the sun reaches the darkest shadows, hope crowns despair. Remember that there is hope in any situation. It may not come in the form you are expecting or would wish for, but look for it, and you will find it nonetheless. Have faith that something good can come. By allowing that thought in, the darkness of despair can begin to give way to the light of hope.

The Faerie’s Oracle – Geeeeeooo the Slooow – Cycles of time/Slowness/Waiting/Patience
Geeeeeooo is the Gnome of Slow Processes. How long is it going to take for that water to wear that rock away? Howmuch has that mountain grown (or eroded) in the last millennium? Geeeeeooo is there watching attentively, making certain that things don’t happen too fast, resulting in a slipshod job. It is he who watches the waves slowly encroach on the shore, wearing away the cliffs. Elsewhere, to keep things in balance, he watches certain mountains slowly grow taller.
Geeeeeooo is also the master of the clarification process whereby we let something sit quietly while the impurities slowly settle themselves out, allowing the substance to purify itself in time.
Geeeeeooo doesn’t understand why we rush about so, mission out on the slow changes in the worlds around us. He is amazed at the stress and problems we create for ourselves by doing that. He wonders how we can survive if we don’t sit down and watch the sunrises and sunsets or if we “don’t have time” to enjoy our lives – especially if we are so busy rushing around with the idea that we are making things good for ourselves later but never now.
The thing about Geeeeeooo’s processes is that they all proceed in good order. Fruit ripens on time, grain is ready at harvest time, and the moon and earth circle each other in equitable balance, neither too quickly nor too slowly. These natural processes work well, and in our own lives it is helpful to use them for models, finding the right pace – the pace that allows natural, low-stress growth and and progress and joy. The world isn’t turning any faster, so we might ask ourselves why we are trying to cram more into our days.

Power Tarot – Commitment – You need commitment to focus on your target, take aim, pull back the bow, and then shoot your arrow, knowing you will hit the bull’s-eye with every shot. To hit the bull’s-eye require total commitment of your spiritual and physical being. You need only the commitment to walk down the path through the gateway into your true destiny. It is a process of gathering. You gather your emotions, your mental strength, and your abilities as you would gather sheep. It can be a long process, but your commitment gives you endurance. It is the next step after defining your act of power. Materialize your dreams and begin to live them. Build that magnificent dream lodge within you with total commitment.

Angels Blessing – Anael – Sexuality

Wolf Song – Lynx – Secrets, Truth revealed

Miracle Cards – Meaning in Life – Meaning doesn’t lie in things; meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren’t love – the money, the car, the house – we’re loving things that can’t love us back. We’re searching for meaning in the meaningless, and this will always cause pain.

Crystal Ally – Chrysocolla – Sacred Sounds // Communication / Expression of the sacred / Goddess Energies / Gentleness / Power

Animal Messages – Baboon – In love and declarations of passion, heartfelt communication is the key.
Sublime Baboon, adept of love, wears her heart on her sleeve. Baboon does not pretend. Her passions and shows of affection are genuine, her reactions without artifice, so you may believe the ardent declarations of others. Truthful, heartfelt communication and open expression of feelings are what matter now in your relationship if, like Baboon, you seek lasting love. Hiding your emotions will leave others unsure of your intentions and reluctant to reveal their feelings, which can only lead to misunderstandings and sadness.

GaiaStar Codex – Mojo – Rebirth
Open-eyed and at ease in the fiery grip of transmutation, Mojo is the Phoenix. On his brow turns a spiral, the sign of continuity. Part bird, part rock, part man, he has gone beyond fear. From this place of freedom, he transmits the liberating “We live on.” Mojo’s empowerment is rebirth. He shows that every apparent ending sets loose the seed of the next beginning. The thread of your existence is unbroken. You can endure the heat of change with great equanimity when this knowledge becomes a certainty in your heart. It sets you free to be new again and again.

Love Tarot – Temperance – Temperance is one of the Tarot’s cardinal virtue cards, and she advocates balance and reason in love. A winged angel stands by a lush riverbank. With perfect poise she decants water from one cup to another while one foot touches the river’s water and the other rests upon the earth. Temperance reveals the need for attention to detail, and perhaps the patience of an angel, to keep your love life in balance.
Be mindful of a situation which, if left unattended, may result in a misunderstanding. If a relationship is volatile just now, try not to let your emotions run away with you. Maintain your equilibrium by listening to your heart and head in equal measure.

The Faeries’ Oracle – The Fee Lion – The Fee Lion looks out of his card accusingly, reminding us of things undone, promises unkept, and duties unfulfilled. He says that we can’t expect to have things go right when we are trailing so much unfinished business behind us. Dragging that stuff around tires us, it uses up energy that we need for other things. If we would just take care of these things that cause so much mental (and sometimes physical) clutter, we would suddenly find that we have a lot more energy at our disposal to do the things that we really want to do – and probably much more cooperation from others as well. He especially suggests that we take care of the little things that matter to others. We will feel so much better when we have done that, and so will he.

The Heart of Faerie Oracle – The Boy – Adventure / Freedom / Youth – The eternal Boy is like Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up. What is important about the Boy? We are told that we inevitably grow up, grow old, and die. And we do. At least part of us does. But there is another part of us that, like Peter Pan, stays eternally young, and not just young, but “boy” young. Masculine young. The part of us that wants to seek adventure, live dangerously, live heroically, and die gloriously. In Faerie, the part of us that is the eternal boy can roam free forever. Male of female – we all need to acknowledge the “boy” within us and let him run free. If we do no more than say, “Go fly, have adventures,” we have done enough. When the Boy turns up, take a minute to find the boy inside of you. He may be hiding = boys are good at that = but coax him out into the light, say hello, and let him fly. He’ll return to you, and when he does, oh what tales he’ll have to tell!

The Faerie Oracle – Faery Guide – spirit – this is my own personal Faery guide… Amazing how I pull this one on my first time, even after randomly shuffling the cards for a really long time.

The Heart of Faerie Oracle – the Prince of Light – new beginnings / peacemaker / potential – the Prince of Light comes into your life like a blessing. He is the bringer of new beginnings, indicated by the egg he holds before him, which is the symbol of potential. He soothes, calms, and leads you into the light. The peacemaker, he is always ready to still the troubled waters of a relationship. He is wise. If he appears in a reading, listen to what he has to tell you. I you recognize a friend or partner in the Prince of Light, cherish that person and honor the goodness that he can bring to a relationship. If you draw this card with the Queen of the Day, you will be surrounded by grace and light. Bring that light to your own relationships and see them blossom under the benevolent gaze of these two powerful beings.

GaiaStar Codex – Emerge – peaceful, penetrating, wisdom-laden. Emerge equips you to make the leap. It is both summary and absolutely open-ended. Use it whenyou are ready to take off. The strong tribal energy in the manzanita background anchors and potentiates the many crystalline beings who leap out from the inside diamond. Laser-light playing on the surface of the stones speaks of the alchemical wedding of technology and geology that catalyzes our emerging planet. Ride the emerge current out of the crystal cave into the light of complete appearance. You are a shining avatar of the heralded world. It’s time to let yourself be seen.

Animal messages – cheetah – a decision once made will be followed by unwavering action.
Cheetah stalks silently with cat wisdom but pursues her quarry, fleet gazelle, with the power of sight-hound magic. What other creature partakes of two natures? Look within to discover the plurality of talents and ways of being, for cheetah is offering you the chance to be exceptional too. If cheetah, fastest living mammal, has run into your cards, this is not a time for hesitation: decision followed by unwavering action is now essential. Like cheetah, grasp what life has to offer.

Wolf song cards – coyote – deception, things not as they seem

Heart of Faerie Oracle – The Temptation – Enticement / Wise Choices / Safety – Temptation and Faerie go hand in hand. The lure of Faerie can be more tempting than anything else you will encounter. Resisting the Temptation may be more than you can bear. If you enter Faerie, do you eat the food? Do you follow the beautiful stranger? Do you trade your first-born child for wealth, love, or fame? How do you know when it is safe to give into temptation? Who to trust? Who to believe? Maybe no one, and yet, if you have been looking and listening and are aware of who and what you are meeting, you may be able to make the right choices. Stop and ask your heart what “feels” right. When the Temptation turns up, look closely at it. Ask yourself what is tempting you at the moment that may not be a wise choice. Is it a relationship that you just just know is wrong but you want it anyway? What are you willing to lose if you give in to this particular temptation?

Wolf Song – Turkey – Fortuitous happiness, improvement in fortune

GaiaStar Codex – Splendor – when your own circuits are lit, you can’t miss the brilliance of the world. Everything and everyone glows with inborn Splendor. The golden essence of all matter is liberated, and its deep glory shines.

Animal Messages – Tortoise – When changes are made for the sake of change itself, resist.

Gaia Star Codex – ReMix – Reality is a rich song of countless melodies and rhythms. Yet there is no gran musical score written in stone. Every note, every beat, every chorus and verse can be reordered and changed when you become a DJ of co-creation. You have the power of the ReMix. the universal source sounds can be spun into an infinite number of tunes. Don’t just sit on the couch and nod along with the beat. Grab the turntable and mix it up. Let’s hear the reality-songs that only you can conjure.

Wolf Song Cards – Arctic Fox – Resistance to change. Obstacles, hesitation or re-evaluation which must be made. The final analysis before the decision is made.

Animal Messages Cards – Whale – Through music you reclaim life’s magic and grow strong in body and soul.
“Whale, sublime denizen of the deep oceans, communicates in complex song and serenades his love from afar, telling her of his prowess, experience, and wisdom. We rarely now use our voices except in mundane speech. The cry of triumph, the sog of joy, the mystic’s chant, and the scream that releases tension all die before they find utterance. Yet rhythm, vibration, and frequency say much and heal both body and soul. Reclaim your voice and, like Whale, grow strong and light as his magic transforms your mind.”

Heart of Faerie Oracle – The Maiden – First Love / Wonder / Endless Possibilities
Always in that magic state, between girlhood and womanhood, the Maiden lives in the place where everything is possible. Love and romance are her lifeblood, and where she walks in Faerie romance blossoms and love flowers in her wake. The honey sweetness of first love is always on her breath.
No matter what our age or sex, we must honor the Maiden and acknowlege her in our lives and relationships. It is important to rememer how we felt when we first became aware of romantic love, whether through our own experiences or through books or films, whatever portrayed that first awakening for us.
We become jaded with time and experience. We lock out young emotions away and forget about them. It is important to remember those emotions every once in a while. They will not always be happy memories. First love can be very painful but even the pain of a first love is very different from what we feel as more experienced travellers in the realms of romance.
When the Maiden appears, take the time to remember how you felt when you first fell in love. You can’t go back, but you can remember and take some of that wonder and sense of endless possibility with you on your continuing journey.

Gaia Star Codex – Novelty – Novelty is the power of the new, the face of the future gazing at you now. The present is not just an extension of the past; it is also created by the future. Time flows in two directions. When you decode it’s visual text, its Novelty liberates you from the past and births you into the next world.

Wolf Song Cards – Rabbit – sensitivity, organization

Animal Messages – Bear – Nurture creativity and return to the sweetness of life –
“Bear prepares for the birth of her cubs by building up reserves of nourishing fat, but unless conditions are perfect she will not give birth to her fleshly creations – for Bear knows that timing and preparations are all. Deliberate carefully before bringing anything into being and nurture your creativity by withdrawal, whether in meditation or retreat. When you return to the material world your ideas will bear fleshy ripe fruits, and you will again discover the sweetness that life offers you.

Heart of Faerie Oracle – Prick Up Your Ears – Look at this lovely long-eared faerie, she’s literally all ears! It is very easy to listen without really hearing and to hear without really understanding. Often things are said that are perceived as hurtful or critical, when perhaps listening more carefully or in a different way would have informed you that wasn’t the intention at all. Rabbits and hares have very sensitive hearing. They jump and start at any unfamiliar noise, running for safety before they see what made the noise in the first place. They literally jump to conclusions before getting the full picture. Now in a rabbit’s case, this is probably wise, since hanging around can often lead to a very short life, but as a human, it is important to take the time to really prick up your ears and listen to what is being said, and not only to what is being said, but to what it actually means. You may be surprised at how often a meaning is quite different from what you first supposed.
