Last week, a good friend of mine came by to visit and we decided to pull out the Faeries to see if they wanted to come out and play. My friend Jeanette I have read for with this deck for many years. She has it herself. She even has a Froud tattoo of a faery on her leg.
Needless to say, she is familiar, very very familiar, with this deck. She knows it well.
So! We sit down and we start talking about her question for the reading and out pops the first card while I'm still mid-shuffle -- it's Unity. I smile and hand her the card, which she immediately understands and interprets for herself for the subject of the reading.
I start shuffling some more.
Two more cards pop out after another few passes, Taitlyn the Sylph and Ta'Om the Poet... these two clearly represent her and her beloved. I show her each, saying only, "Here's you, and here's him." She's grinning from ear to ear. She immediately understands again.
We laugh and keep shuffling and discuss the messages she's seeing, for herself, while looking at her jumpers so far. Then? Two more cards pop out simultaneously (again) while I'm mid shuffle.
Bodacious Bodach and Sylvanius. Her and him, again, but these are her shadow cards, her caveats, her balancing points to the sweetness and light and love and bubbles that comprised her reading thus far. She sobers upon reflecting on them and nods in understanding. We discuss Sylvanius for about a minute or two and I expound on the nature of his mask.
And then I shrugged and looked at the cards on the couch before us and said, "Well, and we're done! That was easy."
I've never had a reading before where I didn't even have to chose a single card, nor did I have to explain their presence and meaning to the sitter. It was like being the purest medium ever... all I had to do was shuffle and hand her the cards that selected themselves! Loved it, truly did. Amazing, and so unique to the character of this deck as well.
Just had to make time to share...
