roses, bruises, 'bout your shoulders

Heart of Faerie literally fell off the wall on me, so I guess I'll do a pull.

This has been the messiest, most difficult shuffle of my life. Many more shuffles than usual until feeling ready. The actual deck didn't want to move nicely. In the end I did a few flip the deck over and shuffle face up until the cards that wanted to be picked were on top. The third card was third card down from the usual top. Weirdest shuffle of the year. Calling it now.

The Queen of Passage. The Speaker of Truth. Nameless card with a bunch of little mushroom guys.

I'm going to replace this deck with a random pack of cards one of these days. (This is a fond threat.)

Queen of Passage- surrender/transition/trust. inevitability of change. ask for help during times of transition. keep going.

Speaker of Truth- trust/acceptance/open heart. A "face" card and the second one talking about trust. hearing truth sometimes hurts. (truth plus lies equals lies.)

-> clarifying card - cut the deck and grabbed one -> Queen of Shadows - introspection / acknowledgement / balance. stop and look. whole self not just parts. what's being neglected? it's another truth card.

nameless little mushroom guys - a bunch of little mushroom guys hanging out. most of them look friendly. one has it's hands spread in possible invitation.

So what I'm getting from this is seek truth, look into the shadows and bring things in the light, and hang out with some weird little guys. ... Sure.

Thank you so much deck for insisting on being read, fighting the actual physical parts of reading, and then saying the same thing three different ways.
