The Fairy Market

Deck used is the Fairy Ring by Anna Franklin

Questions are from the Fairy Market Layout included with the guidebook for the deck.

I think the burning question on my mind right now is how am I doing? 2020 left me with a lot of stuff to unpack but I need to where I need to take a break and treat myself right. I know I’ve been doing a lot of emotional heavy lifting and I’d like to see what the cards have to say in this regard.

The Cards

from the Fairy Ring by Anna Franklin

You King Finvarra: authority, autonomy authority figures, government, law, legal settlements, contracts, and agreements. As a person, this is a mature man who is concerned with social issues and people, compassionate, sensitive, and emotionally supportive

The question: The Oakman: power, good government, knowledge, self-control, right actions, equal rewards, reliability, honesty, methodical, conscientious, love of family and tradition

Obstacles: Gwyn Ap Nudd: deeply buried secrets, things hidden, concealed fears, suppressed feelings and restrictions, bondage to the past or something unresolved, being impersonal and detached.

Past: Morgan Le Fay: Wisdom that comes from study and experience, aspiration, ambition, cunning, and ruthlessness

Present: Grim: profound, inevitable change, drastic ending, a complete transformation of your way of life

Near future: Cro Sith: gentle, protective, nurturing and unselfish, love, mother and child, comfort and support, shelter, caring, emotional nourishment

Distant future: Jack Frost: changes, setbacks, temporary, chaos, illness, accidents, mishaps

Mentality: The Elder Queen: warmth, protection, kindness, strength, help from a friend, the success of a venture, someone open, honesty, practical, energetic, helpful, generous, welcoming

What will help: Boggart: trouble or disturbances at home, arguments, quarrels, disruptions, perhaps with a child

Hopes and fears: Knocker: financial or material gain, establishing a firm foundation in a practical matter

Outcomes: Fairy Horse: movement, travel, journey, new experiences, good health, vitality, energy, innovation, progress will be rapidly made

With this reading, I am seeing there is a lot of changes and disturbances on my path. The ground is rocky and my footing feels shaky right now, but I need to know that this is temporary. The world around me will set itself to rights if I take some authority over my personhood especially because the idea of supporting myself has (yet again) been questioned by people close to me. Even deeper than that is the fact that there have been people in my close family who have constantly questioned my choices in the path I want to take in life and this has caused me inner turmoil because I’ve constantly had to explain myself to them. This is where I need to take authority over my personhood and path in life because when I do, the good and wonderful things I am hoping for in my life will come to pass and things will rapidly change. I won’t experience fear because there is loving protective energy around me, wisdom to be gained and shared, along with all the warmth, light, and peace that everyone can handle. This is only one outcome though; there will also be renewed vitality, health, new experiences, and the ability to make progress when I move past the temporary hardships in my way.
