December's Suggested Spread:

I think this month's thread is influenced by a lot of things that have happened to me in the last few weeks. Gratefulness, not taking things for granted, and becoming aware of all the wonderful gifts and blessings in each moment of each day have all come to play in my life, in such a big way.

This month, the suggested spread is about the gifts or blessings you have received this year... Whether this year has not been easy or has been your best, there is always a gift or blessing from each experience, good or bad.


Three Gifts This Year by Fortuna

1.........2......... 3
4 (Base/Shadow)

1-3: These cards represents the gifts or blessings you received this year, and you can work with your partner by putting a focus on each of the card. (i.e. 1 could be about love, 2 could be about work, 3 could be about another focus.) You could also get a general reading as well, and let the cards surprise you.

4 (Base/Shadow card - this is the bottom card of the deck): This is something that's holding you back from experiencing or identifying the three gifts that have come into your life this year.



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Important Notes:
1. If you would like to do a different spread, please keep it to 3-5 cards, and clear this with your partner beforehand.
2. Readers have final choice of the oracle deck used, but can allow sitter to choose.
3. For partners doing the Intuitive Option: After the oracle reading, please provide your intuitive impressions within the write-up or after in its own section.
4. Please stay in communication with your partner, and PM when you have posted your reading, feedback, or if you are experiencing scheduling issues. Please do not wait until the last minute to post readings and feedbacks.
5. Have fun and let's ROC!

Hello
I was thinking of using the myths and mermaids deck, but please let me know if you have a preference

 

[SunnyBee]

Hi!

You can use whatever deck you like Unfortunately, I only have one, it's called Seeds of Shakti oracle. Look forward to the exchange!

 

[Achlys]

Hello SunnyBee,

Your three gifts are as follows:

Mermaid with Healing Flowers
The mermaid depicted in this card is surrounded by blue, red, and yellow flowers. She looks straight ahead with determination.
This card suggests to me that you will be given the gift of healing. Any past hurts you've received will be left behind with 2016 as you move forward into the new year. It's a time to focus on your well-being and the things that make you happy.

The Storm Chaser
This card depicts a mermaid sitting on a rock while lightning flashes behind her. She ignores the lightning and instead looks ahead.
This card suggests to me that you will receive the gift of excitement and empowerment. You will become a stronger person in the new year. Instead of worrying about challenges, you'll be able to face them head-on.

Manta Ray Mermaid
This card depicts a mermaid swimming in a school of manta rays. This card suggests that you will receive the gift of expanding your social circle in the new year. They may be friends from places that you didn't originally expect, but they will be close and good friends for the future. This could also indicate becoming closer with people that you have in your life at this time, too.

The Shadow Card:
A Certain Slant of Light
This card shows a mermaid in a lonely cavern. There are green dragon-like fish that swim in the waters, but she ignores them and they ignore her. Her face shows a look of longing and sadness.
This card suggests to me that you may be tempted to isolate yourself and focus on the negative. The green in the card also looks sickly. In order to receive the gifts this year, do not allow yourself to become isolated and lonely. It may be beneficial to also pay attention to your health.

Hope this helps
Hope you have a great holiday!

Hi Achlys,

I'm going to do a feedback separately, thank you for the beautiful read!

Gift 1: Peacock- the colors are very vibrant in this picture so the peacock feather is bright teal with navy and orange as the "eye" against dark violet and pink background. The phrase on the card says "Connect with the magic within." The magic that this card is talking about yourself. You are confident, bright, and clever so embrace and affirm your true gifts. Let them shine through and the gift is going to allow you to show off your creativity and wisdom.

Gift 2: Mala- the mala is light blue with soft brown beads against hot pink with flashes of light purple background. The phrase on the card says "Chant your mantra to affirm your intentions." So this second gift will give you the ability to channel your intention into reality. Mala itself is used for praying and you use the beads to chant a particular mantra 108 times. The more you repeat your intention and really picture it, the bigger the chance of it to transform into real life.

Gift 3: Ganesha- God Ganesha is depicted as a blue elephant with an elaborate headdress. His eyes are closed as the blue moon looks over him. "Release your troubles into the hands of the Divine." This deity is revered for his ability to remove and place obstacles in peoples' path. Your third gift is releasing all of your troubles that have been brought to you in 2016 and you are able to move on to better things. You'll be able to see that your difficulties were blessings in disguise.

Shadow/base card: Svadhisthana-"Unleash your creativity, passion, and sensuality." This is the second chakra called Sacral Chakra. Because it showed up as the shadow card, I think you have an under stimulated Sacral Chakra. Have you been feeling like you're lacking creativity and passion in some aspects of your life? Are you having issues with your romantic relationships? If any of these apply, try working on clearing this chakra. You can bring this chakra into balance by eating orange color foods, adding orange accents to your bedroom and house, and the author even suggests wearing orange undergarments haha. If you work with crystals, orange crystals will help healing the Sacral chakra.

The base card is directly connected to the Ganesha card since the Svadhisthana is governed by a deity called Parvati and Parvati happens to be the mother of Ganesha. By balancing your sacral chakra (bringing passion, creativity, and healing your relationships into your life), you will be able to receive all three lovely gifts in 2017.

I hope this helps, it was a pleasure exchanging with you!

I agree with that. I do need to work on focusing on the qualities I have that are useful.

Gift 2: Mala- the mala is light blue with soft brown beads against hot pink with flashes of light purple background. The phrase on the card says "Chant your mantra to affirm your intentions." So this second gift will give you the ability to channel your intention into reality. Mala itself is used for praying and you use the beads to chant a particular mantra 108 times.

This is also somewhat true. I've been meaning to lose some weight but the motivation hasn't been there yet. Hopefully this means it will be!

Gift 3: Ganesha- God Ganesha is depicted as a blue elephant with an elaborate headdress. His eyes are closed as the blue moon looks over him. "Release your troubles into the hands of the Divine."

That sounds great! 2016 was a particularly rough year so it will be nice to have a better year in 2017.

Shadow/base card: Svadhisthana-"Unleash your creativity, passion, and sensuality." This is the second chakra called Sacral Chakra.

I'm not a hundred percent sure regarding chakras, but I will keep this in mind. Personally, I'm not a fan of the color orange, but I'll see what I can do

Thank you for the reading!

This makes sense to me. I haven't had much luck in my love life and some mistakes have been holding me back. So this is encouraging to start the new year fresh.
I'm hoping to get accepted to a school where I can meet new friends so the second gift makes sense although I'm not one hundred percent sure what kind of people would become friends because I try to get along with everyone. Also the school is also another huge challenge because of the difficult subject material but I'm hoping I'll get to be in the program that I'm applying for currently.
Health issues probably stem from me wanting to lose weight and I've been struggling with it. Eating well is also problematic because I'm just lazy thank you for the exchange!

 

[Achlys]

You're welcome! I'm glad it made sense
Thank you for the reading as well. I hope you have a good new years!
