Climb every mountain

October 14: The last hazelnuts are harvested. The Hazel symbolizes wisdom, secret knowledge and divination. Forked hazel branches were used for dowsing to find underground water. What do I want find out or get to know?
Oracle of Shadows and Light
To answer this I'v got the Lantern Fairy from the Oracle of Shadows and Light by Lucy Cavendish. This fairy is supposed to shed some light over this question. At first glance a great card to give an answer to whatever you want to know. You think she might have the answer but she doesn't. She only carries a lantern to lighten your way. When you think you are standing with you back against the wall and  you don’t know a way out, she knows where obstacles are less dangerous, where the hole in the wall can be found.  She will guide you through you inner darkness but she won’t tell you what you want to know because life lessons have life answers which can only be given by yourself.

Lo Scarabeo Oracle
And because I’m sometimes a little stubborn, I wasn't really pleased with this reading. I wanted more! I wanted answers! So I pulled three cards from my Lo Scarabeo oracle. And those cards made me laugh: book(26)+mountain(21)+sun(31). Sometimes there is no shortcut in life. The book is closed. The answers are still hidden, but when you’ll climb the mountain (guided by the fairy with that shining lantern) you’ll have experiences along the way that will let your inner light shine over the content of your book.

  1. I had to laugh at this post - I can see myself pulling more cards too. I am such a bookish person, I tend to want knowledge to be the answer, but sometimes it is the "doing" that is where the solution will be found.

  2. Yes I think we all cheat with the cards now and then :D.
    Sometimes when you pull a card for an answer you only end up more topics to ask questions about :)

  3. I love this post! Sounds like you have some searching to do. :) Like how you combined the two types of decks in confirming your answer. I know you were trying to go deeper, but as you know it rarely works that way. I've tried this multiple times, but as with yours, it just mirrors the current answer. Have a great week.

    1. Thanks for visiting. Yes the cards do have a mind of their own and tend not to fulfill your every wish :)

  4. You are a gal after my own heart! I do the same thing. I told my husband today, "Why do I bother doing multiple readings? They all say the same thing!" And yet I do more, more so I can get a different answer. Hehe... Here is to learning to be at peace with our answers!

    Hugs,

    1. Perhaps that is the most difficult thing when you do readings for yourself. Imagine a client asking: "More,more, just on card. If you would try one other spread. He must come back to me Pleeease!"
