Jewel
Taitin the Sylph (45)
Following Yabbot's suggestion of a card a week I am posting my perceptions of this card. What has prompted me to do this is that I have received her as my daily card 2 days in row, so obviously she is trying to tell me something. This is the 3rd time I have drawn the card as card of the day since I started working with the Faeries in February. Following the questions in the book here are my perceptions of Taitin:
1. The emotional atmosphere of this card is radiant, almost electric.
2. The physical manisfestation of this card to me is somewhat like having an out-of-body experience ... observing things from outside oneself, but meticulously observing them. Visualization.
3. The mental characteristics of this card's symbols to me is of detatched yet keen observation, of being a guiding force from a neutral point. Meditation.
4. The spiritual characteristics of this card's symbols are charismatic and connectedness that tie into the emotional and mental characteristics. A charismatic guide of a sort.
5. What I find most appealing about this card is Taitin herself. She is so beautiful and radiant. She seems electric yet gentle.
6. I find nothing unnapealing about this card.
7. Other observations: the book describes this card as meaning "Acute intellect. Quickness. Mental Synthesis, Discernment." I find this card to be more etheral than that ... deeper. I have not yet put my finger on exactly what, but in addition to the acute intellect and mental synthesis which I do pick up there is more. Where I think I learned the most about this card was when I did the "odd pairing" exercise we have in another thread and she was paired with the Topsi Turvets ... looking down at them and observing. Perhaps she also has an element of lady luck sprinkling fairy dust on us on occassion. But somehow I think she is probably somehow connected with The Guardian at the Gate (3) ... I do not know why but I believe that is something Taitin wants me to explore.
