My burned up fingers continue to improve. Although the blisters seemed to have disappeared, I have a loss of feeling in one of them still. I expect that the depth of injury on that one will take longer to heal, but it’s looking much better than I had first thought.
There was one more deck I did not put into our rotation, and I’m not talking about those extras or left out ones from the original picture. When my sister was alive, the last few birthdays we shared, we would meet someplace downtown the day or so before our day and exchange a gift. I would pick out something I liked, she would pick out something she liked, then we’d hand it over, pay for the selection of the other, and then hand it back.
In the last year before she died she was having a really difficult time with her beliefs, and with mine. It wasn’t like she’d just met me! Or I’d spun around recently into what I am now. No, I’ve been out of the old broom closet for decades, and brutally honest about what I felt my entire life, but she struggled with a lot of things that last year. I was one of them. It was sad and heart breaking, but it was her journey, so I gave her the space she needed.
Before this situation though, we met in a really beautiful New Age type of shop, and she chose a deck of Angels and Saints cards as her gift from me. It’s another Doreen Virtue deck, and it’s very pretty. When she went Home, her husband gave me the cards back. For about fifteen or so years now, I have drawn a card every Sunday, rotating my decks (this is where I got the idea to do it here). I left her deck off the card table for many reasons, but I wanted to share the one I drew yesterday.
I just thought it was so peaceful, so I wanted to share it with you.
As far as where we have landed today in our own tour around the table, we are back to the Fairies, and the illustration is kind of hard to see. Let me know if the picture is not clear enough.
As I told Lora the other day in the comments, this deck is done by several artists, and their view of Fairies are all very different. This one is not one of my favorites, but it’s message is still worthwhile. Even if we do not have children of our own, we all have children, or furry kids, in our lives, as well as the potential for “parenting” someone close to us.
Parenting and Children ~ A possible change is occurring for you in the area of parenting. An unexpected occurence will herald a happy outcome between you and a parent, a child, or both.
Family units are extremely important in the Fairy realm, whether blood ties or simply loved ones that are as close (or closer) than genetic family. They understand the value of taking care of these relationships. The Fairies never allow hurt feelings to fester. They promptly discuss misunderstandings, and they share their feelings honestly with one another. By drawing this card today, you are encouraged to face up to ill feelings you may have with family members, and take human and spiritual steps to effect a healing (no matter what that means to you).
This card may also signal that a new family member is coming into your life. These changes come to you with love and for the higher good of all, meaning that you are safe, protected, and will derive enjoyment from them.
Affirmation: I have happy family relationships. I allow my heart to open up so that I can feel compassion and love for all those around me, including family that shares my love.
