Three Card Reading

The Queen of the Night presents herself and reminds us that things are not always what they seem. Perhaps what we have our heart set on will end up being something other than what we desire. Or perhaps in this case someone is struggling with temptations and not seeing clearly.

The Juggler is watching to make sure you are following along...are you there? Do you "get it"? Slow down and take a look at where you are going!!

The Gift is a true gift from the fae...wisdom... but perhaps in this reading it is referring to the wisdom of age...we often try to share the wisdom we have gained from the experiences of life...but it is up to the other to either accept or ignore the gift we offer.

Overall: Things are not exactly as they seem, there is some darkness here that is overshadowing everything. Slow down and take a careful look at where you are going or the approach you are taking. There is wisdom being offered but will it be accepted? That is yet to be seen.

Faery Card Draw: The Returning

Oh how I have missed the faeries!

So I did a longer drawing last night and typed it up for a friend...I want to post it here eventually but I have missed the faeries.... A BUNCH. I've been so busy with life that I haven't done any readings in quite sometime and only after picking up the deck and chatting with the fae...did I realize how much I missed them and their quirky insights into life...

My card for the day is "The Returning". To me this is always a bittersweet card...neither a good or bad fae...(as if there is such) but simply bittersweet. The Returning tells us that nothing stays the same and no matter how hard we try to return...it is never quite the same...sometimes that is not a bad thing at all...at other times there is a longing for a lost friend, a lost time, or a different part of life. The Returning says....no matter if we return to the exact same spot...it will have changed...our lives, our ways of looking at it, or attitude, our knowledge base...all of it is so fluid...and time doesn't stop.



Odd Reading with Magic Manga

My daughter picked this deck up in New Orleans for me. It's a Victorian (sort of) styled deck based on the manga art style. Some cards are a bit anima-ish but all in all it has a certain lure to it...

So on with the reading (using Majors only)

• The Devil: some trouble, someone wishes you ill will or is going to make problems
• The Empress:  there will be some difficulty ot doubt, or some action needed
• The Sun: things will turn out positive in the end 

So we did another reading for my daughter, she shuffled the cards and I dealt them out....same three cards reversed. I read this as whatever the issue is from the first reading, it is minor, not a major life altering event/issue.  I find it odd that the exact three came up and she did shuffle. In fact she said afterwards that she started to do one more shuffle but then in her mind it was like "no that doesn't feel right."

The reading was about a short trip today. And this morning here's what happened so far. A person that was suppose to go with the two of us cancelled.

Based on that ...the reading....Some action (the Empress) is going to be a bit of a problem but in the end things will be fine and end positively!

Three Card Major Arcana

I decided to do a quick three card reading using the Radiant Rider Waite only the Major Arcana cards. It's about a specific direction I am planning to head with a situation and I asked for insight or guidance. Here's what I got:

VIII Strength  Here the lady and the lion, the lion perhaps perceived as the more powerful of the two but wait, see how she pets his head and he licks her hand. So the card says to me, power is not all it seems, even the mighty can be tamed. Strength will see you through, it can be quiet stength...you do not need the roar of a lion to be strong. There are many ways to do so.

VI The Lovers  Blessed by the guardian angel above the lovers stand naked before the world, unashamed. There is love and beauty but both still have their feet planted here on earth, and see the snake waiting.  So the card says to me, there is a beauty here, something to be cherished but it does not come without temptations.

XIV Temperance  The angel fills the cup, pouring water from one to another, there is an abundance here, the river flows beneath and it does not run dry. But abundance also means one needs to be cautious of moderation. Too much of a good thing is not good at all.

Combined:  This situation may call for strength but it is a calm strength not a roaring fight that is needed. You can overcome any obstacle with quiet strength. The lovers suggest the need to recognize the human aspect of this situation, things are positive and in harmony but as with all things human there will be doubts and temptations. The third card suggests all things in moderation, there will be time to accomplish what the situation calls for but it should be done slowly and in small steps.

Loteria Draw about Ghost Hunt

(See previous post for explanation)

So for this one I was shuffling the cards and suddenly I thought "I'll draw five, one for each of the ghost hunt people and how they might feel about the hunt....minus my daughters and self." Now I have no idea which card represents which person but I'll take some guesses.


La Luna: When I turned this over I immediately thought this represents Lynn. No real reason for this except she is a bit mystical and moonlight in quality. So for her the hunt was ok because she likes the idea of searching for things that are unexplained.

La Pera: Again when I looked at this I though immediately of Mr. B. Not sure why at all. He who waits despairs....this riddle is just a play on words...pear...despairs....so I think it is saying that he knows the ghost hunt is just a lark and there is no way to conquer up spriits by snapping ones fingers...it is what it is,

La Bota: One boot is the same as the other....Missy...because she is very much a nonbliever and probably wouldn't see a ghost if it was right in front of her...lol. So to her it was just a drive around!

La Escalera: Climb me step by step...don't hop up. To me: Debbie...as she was the driver and taking care but also because I think she is undecided about some things and that is making her somewhat cautious in the group.

El Sol: The roof of the poor...that leaves T. I think of this as a make do.....practical card...things are what they are....and you need to make the best of them. I think it might fit his attitude about the evening.

Hmmm...not sure the reading gives me much peace of mind....but interesting none the less.

Alice Trio about Ghost Hunt

I decided to do a little three card draw about last night's ghost hunt. It was Friday the 13th and more than one thing went wrong. I really was wondering about if everyone was ok with the hunt because it wasn't quite as exciting as other ones have been.

A of Spades....a Bad beginning to plans/work. "Who Am I?  I will remember if I can!"

This does fit since it started out by raining and things were a bit iffy. I alos think the quotation refers to the fact that the group maybe felt a little unsure of themselves in this "social setting" Conversation seemed lagging and people's energy just seemed a bit off.

Jack of Clubs: A message related to work plans.  "Their heads are gone, if it please your majesty."

Again plans were up in the air for awhile and everyone felt a it uncertain. Perhaps the quotation is referring to trying to find something to please everyone.

Nine of hearts: Wish fulfilled. Changes for the better. "What a fight we might have for the crown now!"

Yes in the end the rain stayed away long enough for us to do the ghost hunt. So in that regard the wish was fulfilled however I was a bit dissatified with the hunt because the energy level was so low. I'm not sure we had as much fun as expected.  I think that might be why the quotation is such...some conflicted feelings.

The reading is accurate but I really wanted to know if the hunt was "ok" with the people that went. Is the feeling of let down simply mine and for those who have note experienced more exciting hunt it was still ok? I think I'll use the Loteria cards and ask again.

Loteria Trio

#8 La Botella: There is an obsession here. (there are several to choose from but this one seemed right)


#33 La Arana: This person/situation calls for swift decisive action.

#13 El Gorrito: Someone needs protected or shielded in this situation.

Together: There is someone that is obessed or caught up in this situation. Harm will come without swift decisive action.
