Alissa
...there was a reading. And this reading was done with the Froud Faery Oracle deck.
There was a reader, of sorts, named Alissa. And she sat down with her sitter, whom she has read for with her Faeries, many, many times before.
And on this day, the Faeries started to jump out as she shuffled and laced the deck, as her Faeries are wont to do. Quickly, it became apparent that certain faeries wanted to go on This Side of the Spread. And others wanted to sit on This Side of the Spread. And one side of the spread was about her sitter, and the other side of the spread was about her longtime beau.
Alissa, looking bemused, looked up into her sitter's eyes and said simply, "This is a wedding. You're getting married. And the Faeries are coming!"
"You mean, we're going to get married someday?"
"No," said Alissa. "I mean you're going to get married in the next year. Maybe a little less than that, but not longer. 2010, for sure."
On the groom's side were positives and negatives, gushy lovey cards as well as darker caveats. And on the bride's side there were positives and negatives, caveats and gooshy lovey cards.
And Alissa gave her sitter a big hug, and her sitter headed out the door that day, smiling from ear to ear.
Four months passed, and Alissa forgot all about the reading, because Alissa is the kind of reader who "gives it all away" and retains little of a reading once it's concluded. Thanksgiving, Christmas... holidays spun by in the cycle of Human time.
Shortly after Valentine's day, Alissa's phone rang. It was her sitter. "The Faeries were RIGHT!" cried out her joyful sitter. "He proposed to me on Valentine's day while we were vacationing, he got down on his knees with the ring, and everything! I had NO idea he was even planning it, I can't believe it! I had to call you as soon as we got back and tell you!"
And Alissa began to remember, oh yes! The wedding reading! The faeries... the groom's side and the bride's side. Joyfully, she congratulated her sitter and her sitter's fiancee.
Somewhere on the Faery side of the Universe, they smiled too.
