Happy Faery Friday everyone. How has your week been? Mine has been quite enjoyable. I was able to go and do some Shinrin-yoku which is Japanese for forest bathing, with my family. It was one of those moments that was amazing. Standing out in the woods and listening to nature. We all felt rejuvenated afterwords and planning on going back again soon.
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 7 - The Singer of Intuition
Perceptiveness. Oracular powers. Awareness. Trust.
The song of the Singer of Intuition carries all of the information there is. Some people believe that this information, often called the akashic records, is like a great filing cabinet or library in the sky that we have to go to in order to get information intuitively or psychically. We needn't go anywhere. The Song is sung within our blood and flesh and bones just as it is within the rest of the universe.
If, at humanity's present stage of evolution, we consciously heard the song in all its fullness, we would be overwhelmed, our minds burned out by that energy. A kindly universe has led us to a place in our development where we can consciously hear only bits of the melody. Usually we must develop skill in actively listening for it, but occasionally a few notes resonate so closely with our own being that we become aware of them. These involuntary experiences are what we call hunches or intuition or extended sense perceptions.
We can improve our reception of the song by learning to be very still and to listen in a special way. Later chapters in Part Three give techniques for using this and other oracles as "amplifiers" for the song.
What we get for practicing stillness (through meditation) and listening (just ask and then listen) is the ability to understand and interpret metasymbols, the symbolism beyond the material symbols of oracles and omens themselves. Stars, omens, portents, movement of stars and mice — these are all part of one piece, the one song, and therefore a part of us as we are of them. Understanding them truly is just a matter of learning to be still, to ask, and to listen.
Someday, as we evolve and grow, we will be able to hear more and more of this song and to base our actions and choices on greater knowledge. Patience and practice are the keys to all of the subtle, clear senses — clairaudience (clear hearing), clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairsentience (clear knowing), telepathy (hearing each other without words), precognition (knowing before, glimpses of a probable future).
In a reading, the presence of the Singer of Intuition indicates that information is available to us if we will just listen to our own inner knowing. Perhaps we have already heard it and still doubt our subtle senses. The Singer says this is the time to really listen to our intuition. What are our feelings, hunches, or intuitions about this situation? It is desirable that we should seek solitude, meditate, and practice stillness and patience. This is a time for inward focus, a time to open the inner door to intuition (there are a lot of "in"s in this sentence because important answers are to be found within ourselves).
The presence of this Singer in a card spread radiates special illumination and insight on the other cards around it.
Today’s card is a clear sign that we need to work on our own intuition. Listen to the things that are around us many times we just push these feelings aside, it is not the time to do so now. We need to quiet our minds and trust in what we are hearing. This is an important time to be open. Trust in yourself. Your path is clear you just need to accept it. Sometimes you have to just have courage.
For myself, I have used this time in quarantine to work on this. To connect better with my cards and read situations better.
Is this something that you are working on? Is your intuition where you want it to be?
