You are ABSOLUTLY in the right place *LOL*
Glad you had fun singing and dancing with the Singers no less!!!
That is great that your faerie guide has already spoken his/her name. Perhaps over time as he/she reveals more to you about itself you will learn if it is male or female ~giggles~ They love playing games so don't be surprised if your guide just strings you a long for a while *LOL*.
My guide has revealed her form, did so a long time ago, but has never told me her name. She is a mermaid ... no big surprise if you know me *LOL*.
I don't only take my daily companion with me everywhere, I have been carrying the deck with me EVERYWHERE since I got it (5+ years ago). I even took them to Mexico on my Honeymoon *LOL*. It lives in my purse during the day, and on my nightstand at night. My Faerie Guide is placed in a picture frame right here by my computer at work each day, and on weekends is propped against my lamp in my room.
The Faeries have not been very forthcoming with their names to me, I just call them by the card name, and they call me Jewel they do not acknowledge my "real" name, they always correct me when I try to correct them ... so Jewel it is *LOL*. I can recognize them by their energy, personality and attitude, pretty much like you recognize people really. Sometimes they tell me "Its Soul Shrinker", but for the most part they just hum and buz. The more time you spend with them, like with people, the easier they become to recognize. Typically though I interact with my companion of the day the most, with an ocassional appearance of another faerie ... unless I am on this board at which time I can feel them all looking over my shoulder to see what everyone is saying.
When I go out to do yard work (which is rare for me) I always ask who would like to come along and help me and pick a card. I leave the card propped by my card of the day as I don't want to get it dirty. But I can use all the help I can in the yard *LOL*. So just incorporate them in your activities and ask one to come along and get to know him/her. Talk to him/her. They may or may not respond, and on occassion someone else may come instead. Soul Shrinker is a great friend of mine for example and sometimes he just likes to come along. He started out being my least favorite card ... long story posted elswhere on these boards *LOL*.
Just keep playing, enjoying and sharing. We have threads on all the various cards, but for now form your own associations and relationship with them. Remember, there is no right or wrong way.
If you love the deck you might enjoy Brian Frouds books. Good Faeries/Bad Faeries is excellent and has many of the faeries from the deck in it. Large colored pretty pictures *LOL*. He also has a book called Faeries, and several others. Goblins is a hoot! That book totally cracks me up, and The Runes of Elfland is also really nice. The artwork in all of them is fantastic.
