Faery Friday November 22, 2019
Today it is cold, white and quiet. The snow has been slowly falling all morning. I’ve been lucky that I haven’t had to venture out much so far today. So it has been two cups of Lady Gray tea and some time with my son after getting my husband and daughter off for the day. Something on a side note before I get to the reading. I have been working on being more grateful. Not just for the big things but little things too. I’ve really started this about two days ago, in the midst of fighting a head cold and caring for sick children. I found myself listening to someone that I think of as my own coach, Joanna Hunter. It felt like almost what she was saying to me clicked and I just got it. I hadn’t been feeling well and then suddenly I felt like it was better. Not just my sickness but just that things are good. I sat and was just grateful for what I have and who I am. Which just lifted my spirit. I’ve been doing it ever since and find that it is as if there is a sparkle in the air. So I wanted to share that with you. And please check out Joanna at her webpage as she truly is a bright light among us.
Now 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 52 - The Rarr
Wild energy. Pure potential.
Once upon a time there were three pink boys (more or less) and a Rarr, who all played in Brian’s son Toby’s bedroom. They liked the midnight tea parties, the magical ambience, and of course, they liked Toby. Unfortunately, the Pink Boys got too rowdy, and Brian had to throw them out into the garden, which was where they belonged. The Rarr learned from the experience, in a rarrish way, and it quieted down a bit during the midnight hours.
Rarrs are not naughty or wicked, just energetic. They are also not very discriminating. They like to join into whatever excitement is going on and add energy to it. In a way, they are pure potential, and they potentize whatever is happening. Rarrs are attracted to mobs rioting and to meditation groups rising toward ecstasy and to any other strong energy states.
Rarrs are a bit like Tigger in the Pooh stories. They bounce; they zoom; they go off on wild tangents. (Brian hasn’t painted a Wild Tangent yet, as far as I know, but I know what they look like, having encountered more than my share!)
Thing of the rrrarrr of a growling dog, the rrarrr of an engiine revving up, the rrr of a purring cat, and the arrr in Arrugh! As I say, Rarrs don’t discriminate. It is up to us to do that. They put a live spark into whatever is happening. It is our choice what we do with it.
A Rarr in your cards encourages you to be especially attentive to what you are doing with your energy and intentions. Don’t get carried away by the Rarr’s bouncy enthusiasm, but do take advantage of the energy. You can accomplish a great deal with the energy being made available to you. This is a good time. Note that the Rarr is not grounded - and is not meant to be - but humans need to keep their feet firmly on the earth. When you encounter the Rarr, breathe slowly. Center. Earth yourself. Be clear about your objectives and then go for them.
This is card brought a smile to my face. It reminds me of my children when they are playing and working themselves up and we have to watch them for sometimes it ends with someone getting hurt. The energy that I have been speaking about these past few weeks is in this card. That spontaneous jolt. I feel it even today with this snow here. Like something special should happen. But you must be careful, for wild energy can do great good or great damage. Be clear about what you are trying to achieve.
For myself, this is very much a significant reading. I feel like something is truly ready to start. The new moon is right around the corner and I almost feel like I need to run, even though I’m still fighting off this cold. But I will sit and meditate on my next steps so that my actions are clear. I want the intended outcome to be for the highest good and not burden myself with something that I feel I will never be able to accomplish.
Does feel this Rarr? Is it something that you desire or is it something that has caught you up like a mob mentality?
