It took me a while to find mine too, however, my guide is in one of the cards, yet in the background. If you look at the Bright Mother, the elf looking boy/male on the left, drawn in black and white, with pointy ears...He's my guide. One night I was just shuffling the cards, playing around with them, not asking anything serious, and that card dropped out. Something pulled me to truly look at it, the details in it, and I could feel that as soon as I noticed what I was suppose to, it would be a profound experience in my spiritual growth, especially since it was the Mother card, being nurturing, and overlooking the experiences, growth, and most of all unconditional love to guide, protect and gently direct. That night, I had a dream about him, and he told me his name. His name is Nicoli. This name does not reflect the person in the card itself, only what my guides' name is. He doesn't look "exactly" like the guy in the pic, but very very close.
When your guide is ready to show him/her self then s/he will.
