my favorite card
hi, i'd like to join! here's what i wrote in my journal when i picked my favorite card:
The Faery Who Was Kissed by the Pixies
1. Emotional Atmosphere - Playful, hopeful, and wise. The faery is very ethereal yet she seems comfortable in the earthly setting. She is also magnetic as there seems to be so many creatures flocking to her. She's friendly and understanding, maybe even flirtatious. But something in the way she stands makes me feel as though she is still holding much inside herself.
2. Physical Manifestation - The faery in this card seems be a flighty (obviously!) character. It reminds me of feeling "high" when I'm infatuated or in love. Of course rarely ever admit feeling like this...only in this forum! lol. For someone's life in general this card may manifest in their public life, i.e. how they show themselves to large groups of people. I relate to this since my job right now involves public service! This also reminds me of beginnings of relationships, where those involved are yet uncertain where things will end up. Like when things are pretty much "up in the air", but there is an overall feeling of hopefulness and excitement for the future.
3. Mental Characteristics - I feel that there is uncertainty in this card, and that it relates to new situations. And when we find ourselves in a place in our lives that is unfamiliar to us, we have the opportunity to use our intuition and good judgment in making decisions. The creature's head over the faery seems makes me think of receiving ideas from a higher source and being able to communicate them to the world in a way that inspires others.
4. Spiritual Characteristics - Wisdom. Magnetism, attracting what you want to manifest in life. Intuition. Communicating with other realms. Channeling, teaching. Inspiration.
5. I find the contrast between the faery and her environment most appealing. She doesn't seem to be from the world she's in, but she seems to feel at ease. She knows she is different and sensitive yet this doesn't stop her from making herself at home with the pixies. I like that. I like her wings. It also seems like she and a pixie are sharing a cute joke.
6. Unappealing, hmm.. This card doesn't feel so grounded. Must be those wings
She looks like an illusion, as if she were "too good to be true".
7. This card makes me a little uncomfortable. I relate this card to being in unfamiliar waters and that's why there's that element of awkwardness. Sometimes, though, you just gotta jump in and see what happens. I really like the social vibe I get from this card. She seems to be an intelligent and very entertaining faerie, and that's what I like to manifest in myself!
I am also in love and absolutely sappy, so I wasn't so surprised to see what the book's meaning for the card is
Well, hope this was a good read for someone other than me
love,
