Today’s Faerie Message

For today’s message I decided to take out a deck that I haven’t been working with as much as I had anticipated.  I’m a big fan of the Froud’s and all of their wonderful faerie offerings and artwork.  I had used their first deck The Faeries’ Oracle for along time and it became my primary deck for oracle or non-tarot work of pretty much any kind.  Then a handful of months ago when the The Heart of Faerie Oracle was released I was thrilled.  I had found that the first deck worked so well in getting a different perspective on things that I a deck that looked at matters of the heart, which is one of the focal points of this deck, sounded fantastic.  The art is lovely, as always, and it is a fun deck to work with, it’s just not one that pulled me in as much as I had originally thought.  But then, the fey can work in strange ways, so you never know if this will be the time that something especially captivating comes through.  Let’s find out!

The Blessing
Blessings of the Day, Journey, Beginnings

The message with this faerie card is simple but important.  We should begin each day and each new journey with a blessing.  This means that we need to not only bless ourselves and all we do but also be open to receive blessings.  This is very much about give and take, the exchange of energy between people and things in a Universe that is ultimately connected.  Blessings and gratitude, if part of our daily lives and our every action will not only enhance our own lives but also the lives of those around us, even those people that we don’t know we are directly impacting.  Every day and every journey has a start and an end and by starting from a place of blessing we will find the journey and the day takes us through blessed experiences and brings us to a positive end.

For today, make sure that you do what you do with a conscious awareness of how you approach people and activities.  Do you give thanks for being able to get up in the morning and get out of bed?  Do you give thanks for being able to care for yourself and others in your life?  Even when you have the worst day ever, do you give thanks for being able to go to sleep and get up and do it again the next day?  We need to remember to treat ourselves and others with kindness and gratitude, even when things are difficult.  Be sure that today you keep yourself aware of how you treat others.  Do you bless them or do you curse them?  Do you enhance their day and their journey?  And are you open to receiving blessings from them?
