It's been about two weeks since I got my FFO.
In that time, I poured over the cards, put them away, pulled them out again, poured over the book, put it away, pulled out the cards and the book, prepared to return the set...
Well, that was the first three days, anyway.
As I was putting the cards back to return the whole outfit, "Himself' looked up at me with that intense, steady gaze.
I felt like I was looking into a mirror.
Well, you know how it is...I had to look up that card in the book, even though I was taking it back.
He said, "Be yourself."
While I chewed on the meaning of "Himself," I pulled the next card from the top of the deck: "The Laume."
She said "This is a gift."
Suddenly, I wasn't so sure I wanted to return the Faeries, so I put the set aside, and forgot about finding the receipt.
In fact, I forgot about my Faeries all together, until about a week ago.
Friday before last, I got home late from a night out with friends, and was too wired on lattes to sleep. TV sucked, and the computer didn't last long, 'cuz all I do is check e-mail and go on Aeclectic, anyway.
But my brief visit to the AT boards that night reminded me of my Faeries, so I pulled out the set again.
The first card I looked for was "Himself." It's still like looking at my reflection.
I scrounged up a Sharpie and printed "Be yourself" under the image. Yep, I wrote on the card!
The next card I went to was "The Laume." I wrote, "Giving..." below her image.
That night, I stayed up until 3 a.m., studying the deck, and jotting key words on about half of the cards.
Throughout the week, I re-read the book front to back, made notes and completed the exercises.
Last weekend, I finished marking my cards with my very own key words.
This deck is definitely mine! We've been through a lot together, including two beverage spills, one lunch splatter (ketchup), and a marker mishap. There was also a near kidnapping (faerie-napping?), but charges will not be filed at this time.
I finally colored the card edges with a brown marker matching the borders and backs, to cover up the beverage stains and Sharpie boo-boo.
Last night, I did my first reading with my Faeries...
I asked "What are you going to teach me?"
My answer: "Himself."
I pulled a second card for clarification...
"The Laume."
No kidding!
I asked, "Why these cards again?"
My answer: "The Faery Godmother."
I could have sworn she was winking at me!
EDTED because the Faeries dared me to "submit" without going back and editing...so I went back when they weren't looking!
