What was sundered and undone, shall be whole - the two made one

I became interested in divination over 20 years ago, taking a class at a local metaphysical center on oracle reading. I believed in divination, I just didn’t fully believe I could do it. What I learned is that we all can. The cards (or pendulum or tea leaves or stones or bones, etc.) are simply a tool that helps us sharpen our intuition and offers us insight to the messages we are receiving.

I enjoy doing readings, both for myself and for others. But to be honest, my relationship with my decks wasn’t nearly as deep or meaningful as I now know it could be. So I would waffle back and forth, either using them on a somewhat regular basis or tucking them away and ignoring them for months (or years) on end. Lately, like so many others, I have been feeling the pull. Not only to return to them but to put in the work needed to expand my knowledge and deepen that relationship.

I have both of the Froud decks and enjoy them, but was constantly torn as to which deck to use. The images are beautiful, but I was never really able to fully immerse myself. I felt like I was being pulled in two directions, unable to focus on either.

It was only after I decided to honor my intuition and combine them that something clicked. Bringing all 134 cards together seems to have magnified the energy, enabling me to finally connect in a meaningful way.

I am not gonna lie. This combo has resulted in a chunkster of a deck. I mean, look at how thick that is! As soon as I saw the two together, my first instinct was to reconsider. Although shuffling is a bit of a challenge, I am getting used to it and the energy that I experience working with both decks at once is amazing. Needless to say, I wish I had done this sooner.

I started pulling a card each morning to help me find a focal point for the day. This has also offered me clarity with regard to how I am processing current events and the overall impact they are having on me, both personally and professionally. A very dear friend inspired me to begin journaling my experience with each of the cards. This is not a new concept, but it is a new habit that I feel has enhanced my spiritual practice considerably.

We have a tendency to look outside ourselves for the latest gadget or hottest fad, hoping that will be the proverbial “cure for all that ails you”. Because of my frustration, I had been searching for a shiny new deck to work with. Thankfully, I allowed my intuition to guide me and soon discovered that what I really needed was to see the tools I had in a new light. To not only consider the possibilities, but be open to them.

This week's reading

This week's message comes to us via “The Fairy Ring” oracle by Anna Franklin and Paul Mason.

“Will O' The Wisp” reminds us not to allow ourselves to become so immersed in fantasy that our responsibilities are neglected. Promises to family and friends, obligations at work, even self-care can be left by the wayside if we are led astray. Sometimes something as simple as a coffee date with a friend can keep you on course.

Time to sweep those dust bunnies out from under the couch, respond to those emails, and remember the things you promised yourself would be done. If the deadline has passed, it's not too late. Set another and STICK WITH IT.

I offer private readings, from a three card past/present/future spread to something more in-depth. Contact me for details and see what messages are waiting for you.
