Card Chit-Chat - all and sundry
 
I thought I'd made such a topic in the past, couldn't find it, so making it now, hihi.
The idea is to post things you'd like to share concerning oracle and/or Tarot cards that you feel doesn't have to be a separate topic.
Just little things that surprise you, delight you, or bemuse you and so on.

So it can be about a card appearing over and over, a reading, the outcome, funny things that happen during shuffling etc.
Not the idea to ask for readings of course, nor help with a reading as that deserves its own topic.

Oh well, just figure it out! Hope you like the idea and join in!
:hug3: :hug3:

FairyCrystal 17-05-2019 02:24 PM

Of course I have something to share myself, hihi.
I was drawing a card for myself from the Goddess Power Oracle. I'd only picked up the deck and "Elen" (of the Ways) fell out.
I smiled, the perfect answer to my question about what my next step should be, and Elen of the Ways is my favorite Goddess.
I decide to put the card in the deck, trusting that if it needs to come out as THE answer, it will.
I shuffle, draw a card and... Elen of the Ways!
Something like that can make me SO happy, to the point I almost jump for joy through the living room, hihi.
It made me feel so held and protected by Elen :)

Hi Fairy,

How are you ? Well it's been a long time for me since I have done any card readings. I haven't been using any cards or tarot while reading for others. Life got busy differently . A few days back found a few of my decks smelling all musty because of rain these past few weeks.
So I laid each of the cards to dry. And had to take them all out ...books and all. I realized I need a fresh start anyways.
Spontaneity is so close to synchronicity with the small things in our daily lives. So currently I am looking for ways to explore. Maybe I come across an interesting deck ... I wanted the crows magic tarot for a while now. Someone said they will be shipping it soon as a present..so I am looking forward to it.

It's nice seeing your posts again,

angelic

Fairy, that's a nice reminder, like her way of saying that she's there. Kind of reminds me of when someone buys you something just cause they were thinking of you.:icon_smile:

FairyCrystal 19-05-2019 09:09 AM

Hi Angelic!! I'm fine thank you! :) I never left the forums, just wasn't so active in here as things got a bit quiet. Plus, doing readings for my channel also keeps me quite busy, hihi.
I hope your cards are okay!! Would be a shame if moist air damages them.
The last deck I got in is the Dragon Oracle Cards. I've decided to do more with the ones I've got now.
There's one Tarot deck I'd eventually like, the Everyday Witch Tarot. But I'm not in any kind of hurry, hihi. When it comes to Tarot I'm still really happy with my Wildwood Tarot.

I hope you get the deck you like! Fingers crossed :)
:hug3:

Indeed felt like she was there :)
For some reason or other she always reminds me of the Fairy Queen. A similar energy.

I think they like to do things that are sweet and subtle, like a way of them doing something that you know that it something that she would do. And she does have a very fae like energy to her~ They have a sort playful gentleness about them.

I don't know why it is this way here. Sometimes... I feel so sad for my planet, like... what were we thinking. What were we chasing? I puzzle over it all. Sometimes I feel as though you run that. Why? Because I always see little indications of you, buried in life. A chance... little note or a bird flies across my path at just the right moment.*

Ah. The six of swords. I knew it.*

FairyCrystal 02-06-2019 03:25 PM

Funny how I of late suddenly feel drawn to using my Lenormand cards again. I haven't used them much for nearly 2 years, suddenly they pique my interest again :)
In a way odd how Lenormand isn't often used by readers on YouTube for for instance love readings as they're often more specific than Tarot.
I guess there's relatively less people who can read Lenormand than Tarot?

55Degrees 12-06-2019 06:57 PM

I've just had a very profound message from my Mystical Shaman Oracle.
Background...
A few weeks ago I got drawn in to researching the family tree and made some discoveries that I had never been aware of. I have always been drawn to my maternal lineage and although I never got to meet my maternal grandparents, I have always felt a closeness to them. I know my maternal grandmother saw spirits and was apparently very open about it.

Two weeks ago I was introduced by chance to a lovely lady of 92. She is a spiritualist medium but has a specific role in which she uses her gifts and has made me an offer that I feel, came through synchronicity playing its part.

I mulled over the offer and decided to ask my Mystical Shaman cards for some insight.
This is the card I got



It felt like I was being told that this was always meant to be, almost like my calling, and because my family, who I never got to meet could not tell me or teach me, they have led me to this lady.

FairyCrystal 12-06-2019 07:02 PM

Wow, that is definitely spot on then, hihi.

Anne 13-06-2019 01:25 PM

Buena suerte Pisces_Moon! Let us know the outcome of your endeavor:)

moonincancer 13-06-2019 02:56 PM

I think that light workers like you all give so much of your time and gift selflessly that these cards are like a validation for your vocation as happened to Pisces_Moon. Wish you all luck Fairy, Pisces, Angelic and everyone else reading this!

moonincancer 13-06-2019 03:01 PM

Fairy
I love your channel:)
Something funny and interesting happened recently when I was reading cards with my friends. An erotic deck called Decameron Tarot made its presence felt and I decided to dig it out of the bottom of the drawer in the cupboard. Now I had always thought that this deck was either frivolous or meant to read for intimate relationships only. My friend said that it could be used instead to reveal the essential selves or drives of people. It turned out to be a very revealing session as the cards were quite accurate about personality traits. I find most decks are full of surprises and what may not work at one time may end up becoming a vocal deck on some other occasion.
Thank you Fairy Crystal for introducing me to the GreenWitch Tarot and Wisdom of the Oracle deck!

FairyCrystal 13-06-2019 03:37 PM

That's a more sexual deck, right? I got the Sexual Magick Tarot, I have never used it for intimate relationships. Sexual energy is the creative life force, it's so important, and hugely underrated and misunderstood by many.
The pagans did know its importance and made use of it as such too.
Sexuality is one of the strongest drives -if not the strongest apart from survival- of mankind. And it is part of survival of the species. So tapping into those energies to get a reading done is immensely powerful!
The only problem with such a deck is that most people don't understand this and only see what they consider to be x-rated images.

I'm glad you found some decks that resonated through me :) And happy to hear you enjoy my channel, thank you!!

Right now playing around with the Wheel of the Year Tarot that arrived earlier this week :) I like it!
I never would've thought that I'd get to 7 Tarot decks, haha. That is counting RWS which I never use, and Akashic Tarot which I don't really consider to be Tarot.

Oh well... cards are fun, and a great tool! And Wisdom of the Oracle is absolutely great! It has never failed me. Even if you're too tired or ill to do Tarot or a long reading, just draw 1 WotO card and you got your answer.

moonincancer 13-06-2019 05:32 PM

Oh absolutely Fairycrystal:)
Thank you for all the info about new decks. Wheel of the year seems to be an intriguing name.

FairyCrystal 13-06-2019 05:49 PM

It is quite a nice deck! Entirely different from Green Witch or Wildwood. I came across a reader who was using it on YT the other day and loved it right away.
It's also a bit pagany but in a more colourful and playful way. I like the imagery.
And it's RWS based but some cards deviate from it, which I like as that helps me to get my own intuition to kick in :)

I have not thoroughly worked with it yet as my head was too noodle doodle to do cards. I had a real bad dizzy spell 1,5 weeks ago which got me quite 'out of order', hihi.
Really annoying to then have a new deck come in and not being able to really play around with it. But it'll come :) I've done the few cards here and there.

I have come to realize over the last year of doing many readings that the shuffling is doing me in. And I shuffle a lot, depending on 'jumping cards' for a reading. This puts too much stress on my shoulders, and with that my neck gets affected too.
So I have to find another way of doing things.

moonincancer 15-06-2019 05:22 PM

Am very sorry to hear about your shoulder. Please take care of it. Using decks on phone such as the iPhone tarot apps is a way of bypassing shuffling.

Let me know when you need me to send you more

Thank you!! :hug3: :hug3:
Working on a phone/tablet is barely possible for me due to my neck injury. The way you're sat then, like when reading a book, is exactly what triggers it.
Healing prayers are very welcome, thank you!

WildHairedWoman 17-06-2019 02:43 PM

Does anyone use Voyager or the Celtic Dragon tarot cards? I have others but those are the two I resonate with most.

FairyCrystal 17-06-2019 02:46 PM

I haven't got them, never heard of them hihi. I looked them up though, but they're not the type that I resonate with.
I'm sure there'll be some who have it. I vaguely remember someone mentioning Voyager.

55Degrees 17-06-2019 03:00 PM

@WildHairedWoman

I have Voyager on the app. It's a very intuitive deck.

Anne 17-06-2019 07:58 PM

FC, your new deck, Wheel of the Year, looks mesmerizing, colorful.
Going on my list!

Also Pisces_Moon if you are reading this, I’m hoping you can tell us the deck you were using last week for your ‘card of the day’ picks. That 10 of swords is a doozy, and the 5 pents very profound.. many thanks.

55Degrees 17-06-2019 08:26 PM

@Anne
It's Tarot of the Hidden Realm. It's a favourite of mine for personal use as it's very confrontational. It's a beautiful deck ( except The Magician, he has a very '70's porn 'tache :laughing5:)

Hihi, some way of phrasing, lol.
Now I was only a kiddie in the 70s, I looked up the card. It reminded me of Orlando Bloom.

FairyCrystal 17-06-2019 08:38 PM

Oops, that wasn't supposed to be quite so big, hahaha

Anne 18-06-2019 01:45 AM

Hahaha! Can’t be too sorry to see a big pic of Orlando!!

Thank you Pisces for the deck’s name :-))

55Degrees 18-06-2019 07:54 AM

@FairyCrystal
If it's going to be a Bloom, for me it's got to be Conny Bloom :D .


FairyCrystal 18-06-2019 08:58 AM

Haha, not my kind of bloom although that photo sure is nice! I checked him out on Google, and even though I like weird, he's not my kind of weird. Too 60s-70s. I'm an 80s girl! Hihi.

I did check out that deck btw. I like it, although it's not for me. But what makes it confrontational? I don't find the artwork to be that, and for me it is usually the artwork that does that?

FairyCrystal 18-06-2019 08:58 AM

@ Anne, I think you're right, hihi. Enjoy!

55Degrees 18-06-2019 02:46 PM

@FairyCrystal
The majority of the deck is faces, only 5 cards have no people on them. The way the artist has created the cards means most of the faces are looking at you (eye contact can be so meaningful) almost compelling you to examine your emotions, actions and motives.

The images where the person us looking somewhere else still beckons you to follow them, to explore what they are sensing (I don't know if this makes sense haha).

I'll post a few images here soon and give you my take on them cos it doesn't make much sense when trying to explain it.

FairyCrystal 18-06-2019 04:33 PM

Thanks for the explanation! It is clear, but do feel free to explain with a few images :)
I do think it's a personal thing though? I looked at the deck again on Google Images. What I see is that on most cards the characters don't look at you. Maybe that's coincidence, don't know. And a few, like 8 of Wands, it looks at first glance if she's looking at you, but she isn't.
I found some where the character is, but I don't find it confrontational, hihi. So I think it's personal. I can understand that some decks take you deeper than others.
And I do get what you mean, as the artwork really does seem to 'speak'.
One card that does move me -in a pleasant way- is XV Shadow Dance.

I have had the deck for years and like it best. It is intuitive.

55Degrees 19-06-2019 12:49 PM

@FairyCrystal
It's probably because I use them for inner/shadow work that makes them feel confrontational.
I turned over the first 20 cards in the deck out of curiosity and and 8 of them were face front.



So, erm, maybe it's just me :laughing6:

FairyCrystal 20-06-2019 09:11 AM

Hihi, funny how we can perceive things, isn't it!
It is a beautiful deck to do inner work with.

FairyCrystal 24-06-2019 08:11 PM

Doh... I've misplaced an entire deck. I had a pick a card ready, but it didn't happen, now I want to put the cards away, and I can NOT find my Romance Angels card box anywhere.
Lord knows where I'm going to find it at some point. But for now it's most annoying!

Aglaya 29-06-2019 11:57 AM

I was wondering today...which is my rising sign: Taurus or Gemini, and decided to pick a random card on the spread editor. And the answer was so amazingly clear, that I still get goosebumps thinking about it. Just look at this Hierophant cart of Phantasmagoric Theatre!

Taurus!

FairyCrystal 29-06-2019 09:15 PM

That's pretty amazing, yes!
But why didn't you just do a calculation online? Don't you know time of birth and does it change on your birthday?

Aglaya 30-06-2019 04:08 AM

Yes, FairyCrystal, the signs were just changing at the time of my birth. I had ordered a rectification, and it stated that Taurus is my rising sign, yet many of my friends astrologers insist that my more probable ascendant is Gemini.

FairyCrystal 30-06-2019 10:19 AM

Ah, yes, that can be really annoying!
