Faery Friday January 24, 2020
Hey everyone, it’s Friday! This has been one of those weeks where I felt like I just couldn’t concentrate on anything. Like those times when you make plans to get things done and the day just blows up and your not able to do any of it. That’s how I’ve felt so I’m so glad that this week is over and we are heading into the weekend.
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 1 Unity
Union. Mystical experience. Spiritual home.
Unity comes first and last. In between we have the illusion of duality, which we all believe in for a very long time. This apparent duality is ultimately shown to be an illusion, but it is an illusion through which we must pass, through which we learn and grow, and then once again return to Unity.
You may have had mystical experiences where you have had true union with other beings or even with the Unity, the One Who Is All. Such experiences change our lives, effectively showing us that the saying “we are all one” is not just a pious belief but is a statement of actual fact. We are not separate like the flowers in a field, but are one. The only way to reach this awareness is to surrender the small everyday self to the larger spiritual self, which is Unity. Experiencing full oneness with the Unity is transformative.
Looking at this painting, one observer notes, “All the power is focused in here, vast energies. It is as if all that power is looking for a place to happen.” This is exactly what is going on. Unity is the energy of the cosmos still unmanifest, still without form. Here we see the dark and the light, masculine and feminine, active and passive, and other polarities, all expressed in balanced energy-filled, vibrant union. “All That Is is one, and the One is god/dess” is the principle expressed. From this, all else derives. This is the source from which we draw our strength, our very being.
When this card comes up in a reading, it is asking us to remember that mystical concept that we are all one, unified in a holistic universe. It reminds us to look at the needs and goals we have in common with others, and to seek cooperation and community action rather than attempting to do everything on our own. To achieve our goals, we need the active cooperation of others, and to get that cooperation, we must be helpful to them and willing to work with their ideas as well as our own. It suggests that we think of things in terms of equal partnerships rather than in lines of hierarchical authority.
Unity also tells us that we have much to gain by remembering our own wholeness. Resolution of inner conflict is often necessary before we move ahead. It is important at this time that we work toward cooperation and reconciliation, within and without.
Seek the highest good of all involved - and not merely your idea of highest good. Ask for the divine energy of Unity to permeate and guide you.
This is one of the Fae that I love pulling from this deck. We all see them in different ways. With what is happening around the world with this virus that is closing China down and spreading, I feel that Unity is trying to say that we need one another as a community. That we need to remember that we are not alone but all connected and should be there when we are able.
Unity is one that has always made me reflect on what is really going on in my life. My own connection with not only myself but the divine as well. It is also making me reflect on how I have to reconnect with those around me. I am very good at staying in my small circle. That being said I know what it is that I need to work on.
Does this card speak to you in some way? Do you feel that you need to reconnect? I’d love to hear from you.
I hope that this reading has been helpful to you all. Please let me know if it has impacted you in any way. I’d love to hear from you. And check out my website here. I am doing personal Astrology, Divination, Card and Astro Dice Readings. If you would like to have one please go to my website. Thanks so much for joining me on this Faery Friday.
May your stars shine brightly upon you.
The first thing I saw in that card was an energetic representation of the female reproductive system. That contains the power of creation if there is unity.
