Happy Faery Friday to you all. It’s the first one of July. Tomorrow is the full Moon, it is the Buck Moon. There is also going to be a Lunar Eclipse as well, though it will be hard to see. Don’t forget to put out your crystals to charge them under this beautiful Moonlight, you can start even tonight and have them charge until Tuesday. This weekend is one of my favorites since it is when we can set off fireworks. Do you have any good plans for this 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 6 - The Singer of Connection
Spiritual connection. Karma. Balance. Empathy.
This Singer supports all connections, the web of light between all beings, all particles, and between past, present, and future. It brings wholeness to apparent duality and combines all energies, uniting all that was, is, or could be. When we lose awareness of this connection in our lives, we feel isolated, lonely, bereft. Yet the energy is there. We only need to be open to it.
There are emotions that help us open up—love, compassion, trust, and so on. There are other emotions that we tend to close down around unless we make a special effort to keep our hearts open. As you can probably guess, these emotions are feelings such as jealousy, anger, fear, grief, and others of a similarly painful nature. Yet, sometimes, these very emotions, when carried to an extreme, cause us to break down and then break through to the song of Ekstasis. This is a risky way to go as well as an extremely difficult one, because more often the breakdown just stays broken for a long time and then we retreat back to a more crippled version of our original selves.
A far better way to become ever more aware of our essentially holistic nature is to work at keeping our hearts open, seeing relationships, being earthed and centered and connected. In a meditation, someone (and I suspect it was this Singer) asked me to let go of all of my defenses. I argued that surely we needed defenses in this world in order to survive. I was firmly but lovingly told, "It is only by letting go of all your defenses that you become invulnerable"
That gave me such a strong shock of recognizing the Tightness of it that I couldn't even breathe for a moment. But then, still reluctant (because it sounded like a big job), I muttered that I didn't think I knew how to do that or even what all my defenses were. I was assured kindly that I would receive help if I asked for it. And I know that you will be given the same aid, too.
Through the power of this Singer, all connections are made, held, and released, as appropriate. In a reading, this Singer indicates the connection of things, especially reconnecting those that have been sundered. It is unifying and reunifying. It tells us that we need to be aware of the connections between different aspects of the issue under discussion, as well as the connections between the people linked by it. We also may need to build more connections, a network of mutual support.
The presence of the Singer of Connection in a reading indicates support and strength flowing through the connections between those involved.
With things the way they are I think this is a great card to have pulled. We need to find our connections not only with each other but also with that part of us that is the divine. This is something that we all need right now. Every time I go into a grocery store I hear over the speaker, “We are all in this together.” Now while we each have our own way of going through this time, it is something that we have to remember. Showing empathy for the person behind the counter who is just trying to do their job is understanding that they can’t always get everything that they need. Our lives are different now and many of us have excepted our places, resigned with the fact that we have done everything that we can. But we can make small changes to help one another to feel at peace. Engage with those around you. We are not as separated as we believe.
For myself, this is exactly what I have been working on in my own life. Opening myself up to that which is bigger than myself. To not only connect to it but to also be able to share more of it with those around me.
Are you working on your spiritual connections? Have you been able to connect with others in a fulfilling manner?
