Faery Friday January 31, 2020

It’s the last Faery Friday of January, where did the month go? I don’t know about you but I feel like this month flew by. This was a nice week, we even got a little snow.

For today’s card pull, I am using the Faeries’ Oracle by Brian Froud with text by Jessica Macbeth. This is a single card pull since it is an oracle deck. If you like this deck you can get it for yourself. Just click on the picture below.

What do the Fae want me to share?

Today’s card is number 53 - Death
Natural, timely endings. Release. Liberation.

Scary, eh? Before you panic, let’s remember that if it were not for Death and her hard work, we would all be up to our ears in alligators, mayflies, each other, and just about everything else. Without her to clear the world, there would be no room for growth or new life. This applies to all the realms - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and other.

The Death card in all oracles - faery, tarot, and other - does not usually signify actual physical death. In fact, that is rarely the meaning. Rather it indicates a significant change, one that involves letting go of the old life in order to move forward into the new. What we really fear about death is the unknown, the “what next?” of it all. We may be experiencing great pain as a result of holding on to aspects of life that we have outgrown, but humans tend to hold on anyway because we don’t know what is next. We want guarantees, and instead we get open doors into unknown, darkened spaces. Yet, when we go through these doors, closing them behind us, we discover a whole new world - one in which we can grow and develop into more of what we have the potential of being.

So, here we see Death, her face hidden, without form, holding a dark crystal ball. She herself cannot herself see the future.

Something has reached a natural ending, and there is substantial and irrevocable change in the works. This change may be inner or outer or, most likely, both. It is timely and natural, but there may be much resistance to it. Leaves fall every autumn, in the spring the trees are green again with new leaves. Make room for the new in your life - let the old go, lovingly, gently, willingly.

It is the perfect time to let go of the things that are not working for us. This card is one that I have pulled many times, always in a time when there is change around. You need to let go of whatever is holding you back.

For myself I love getting this card. It is time for me to really look at what is going on in my life and see what is holding me back. I will welcome the changes that are on the way, happily.

Is there something that you need to let go of? Do you feel stuck in some fashion? I’d love to hear about it, and maybe help you if I can.

Thanks so much for joining me on this Faery Friday.

May your stars shine brightly upon you.
