I forgot to check in with you all to let you know that I received the Faery deck from ros last week. They arrived a day or so before my in-laws arrived and my daughter's 4th birthday party, so I haven't had a lot of time to work with them yet.
The day they arrived, me and my 4 year old took them out of the box and spread them all over the dining room table. My Josie kept saying "Hi fairies!!! I'm so glad you came home to us!" She really got me in the spirit, so we both spoke out loud to them and said how glad we were to have them here.
I have resisted reading about the card descriptions in the book so far, but it's been hard! LOL I just skimmed the first section of the book and have yet to pick my favorite cards. But I have had a few interesting things happen. (And I'm finding that I'm talking like a crazy person right off the bat.... ROFL!)
One was that they didn't want to go back in the box. They also didn't want to go in the drawer where I keep my other decks. I think they were afraid I'd forget about them like I have the other decks! LOL. So they are on top of my entertainment center, with my crystal rabbit on top of them.
Then, yesterday when I was leaving to get my henna tattoo, they wanted to come with me. So I put the naked deck in my purse and went on my way. But not before choosing two cards first. The deck was thoroughly shuffled, and I shuffled again. Cut the deck in half and chose the #1 card, Unity. I said, "Unity with what?" spread the cards out and chose another card at random and chose the #2 card. I don't know what it means, but my gut reaction was that this card reprented the essence of fairies. So my interpretation of the two cards was a me and the fairies bonding. Also, a unity of logic and fantasy, mind and spirit. Is that any where on target with traditional meanings? I told my husband that I thought it was odd that out of all the cards, I picked the first two... in order. He said something like "Guess they are ready to get started."
I love this deck. It was definitely the right decision to listen to my instinct and give these fairies a new home. Oh, and I tried to give them reiki to cleanse the deck when I got them home, and they didn't want it! The energy wasn't flowing and then my dog wanted out, and my baby son tried to throw all the cards on the floor, the phone rang... it was chaos until I gave up and put them away. Is that strange?
Anyhow, I'm happy to be part of this elite group now! ;-)
