I just got my mine 2 weeks and a half ago, along with Brian's book Good Faeries/Bad Faeries. The faeries have been "talking" to me quite a bit and all in such kind a kind and loving and caring manner. But since I read GF/BF I have been afraid of the "bad" faeries and what could happen if I invite that energy into my life. The book talks about death, heart attacks, strokes...although admittedly that was likely when the faeries felt attacked and were likely just defending themselves.
But I had an experience yesterday that helped set my mind at ease. I pulled a card from the deck to see why I was scared and what they could tell me about that. Which was basically, just cause they have the power to do something does not mean they will. People are capable of killing each other, but that does not mean you need to fear everyone you meet. Then the faeries told me that I should trust my intuition more and not rely so much on heresay.
And to that I have to admit that they have been nothing but kind and loving to me. And the funny thing was last night the card I pulled to help me resolve my feelings was "Gawtcha", a card that could be considered to be a "bad" faery. And it was this card that most set my mind at ease. For me the card: Sudden shock, unexpected events, rude awakenings...was when my trust in my cards turned so quickly to fear. It was quite a "Gawtcha" situation when I thought back on it.
But after analysing the card it did not look fearful to me, and I knew he was there to help me and teach me a lesson. And I think that is a very worthwhile lesson that I must trust me own judgment more and not always think other's even Brian's experience is more valid than mine, or that they know more. And the more I thought of it, I would not have learnt this lesson as well without the mini crisis Gawtcha sent me.
Just as I was typing an entry on all this in my Tarot/Oracle/Pendulum journal the funniest thing happened too. Don't know if I can explain it well, but I saw like a light shining on my hands. It was as if the faeries were either standing behind me watching over my shoulder as I worked all this out, or maybe like they were in me helping my type with my hands. There was like no visible source for the light and I have sat at my computer deck for years and never seen it before. I was staring at it trying to figure out where the light came from, and then after a few seconds it was gone and things looked like before.
And the more I thought about it the more I felt grateful for Gawtcha's help. I ended up giving him my heartfelt thanks and klssing him goodnight. And my fears of the deck.
My advice is try what I did and I think you will find the answer that is right for you. Ask the fearies what exactly is intimidating you and how you can come to terms with it: do a reading.
Hope this helps relax you.
