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.
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.
ReplyDeleteYes I think we all cheat with the cards now and then :D.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when you pull a card for an answer you only end up more topics to ask questions about :)
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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. Yes the cards do have a mind of their own and tend not to fulfill your every wish :)
DeleteYou 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!

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!"
