from stonetalker's May One Card Draw
The card is from the Tarot of the Cloisters and is affected by the Fairy Tale Tarot card from the Leap Year Draw mentioned previously (Two of Swords, inverted).
Eight of Swords (inverted)
This combination is showing you that there is a choice to be made and that something is inhibiting you from making it. The Eight (reversed) is showing you that you have to be willing to take the first steps away from this inhibition and into what you want to see happen in your life. Seek support from others if you need it, but keep moving forward. Learn to trust yourself.

Oracle Readings Received: April One Card Draw (April 21 2012)

Cordelia's Message :: Your have been indoors too long. Go outside and get some fresh air.

Other Notes on the Goddess Cordelia
She may be known as the goddess of summer flowers, the Queen of May and a graceful fairy spirit, but Cordelia is no sissy - she teaches you to stand your ground in order for good things to come your way.
MANTRA
Self respect
AFFIRMATIONS
My rights are important
I know what is best for me
It is easy to stand up for myself
I stand firm for what I believe in
I am gracious in my stubborness ;-)
Others respect my decision for my own path
Her Story
Welsh goddess of summer flowers, Cordelia is honoured as the Queen of May and of the fairies. She was the target of ardent attention from suitors competing to win her love.
Her Modern Energy
Cordelia defied her sea-god father's wishes and married the man of her choice. In doing so, she sent a very clear message that despite her flowery and joyful energies, it is good to stand firm so good things can come your way.
You don't need to go so far as to marry someone to emulate Cordelia, but you can become the heroine of your own story and stand your ground in the face of fear, threats or adversity.
Reconnect With Your Inner Cordelia
Go outside and burrow your feet in the ground. Or, if it is too cold where you are, place red flowers on your desk or home to keep her floral energy at a conscious level.
Pssst! Spring 1st moon is a good time to sow seeds for new projects or relationships.
What Would Cordelia Do?
... If she were in your situation, she would stand firm and make choices for her own happiness. While remaining gracious during the process, she wouldn't compromise her well-being for the sake of 'keeping the peace'.

Oracle Readings Received: April One-Card Draw (April 10, 2012)
from stonetalker's April One-Card Draw.
The card is from the Tarot of the Cloisters and is affected by the Fairy Tale Tarot card from the Leap Year Draw mentioned previously (Two of Swords, inverted).
Four of Wands
This is the second time that this card has made an appearance today. It is showing you that there are celebrations ahead, but the card is inverted, at the 'quarter past' position, if you like. Yes, the success was very short lived, but there is a more grounded and rooted success coming, you just have to focus on making that choice. If the choice proves inappropriate, change it. Nothing is ever carved in stone.

Oracle Readings Received: Leap Year 2-Card Draw (Feb 29 2012)
from stonetalker's leap year 2 card draw. The four-year card (the theme for the next 4 years) is from The Fairy Tale Tarot and month card for March is from Tarot of the Cloisters.
Two of Swords, Ten of Coins
The next four years brings you choices to make when it comes to partnerships and interpersonal relationships. The card is inverted, and I intuit that this is asking you to use this time to choose to get rid of what is not working, choose to get rid of people who are holding you back, and choose to walk your authentic path.
The Ten of Coins shows that you have success coming. As this is your card for March, rather than your long-term card, Id suggest that you watch out for the little blessings, the little victories that come into your life every day. This seems to be more a material success than an emotional one.
After reflection - The March card was quite literal -- fiance and I made about $100 on St Patrick's Day weekend by selling some old iPods. Kind of short-lived financial relief, though.

Oracle Readings Received: Bird Oracle (Feb 29 2012)
from wrenstarling's february one card draw using her bird oracle deck, we asked for a card to meditate on.
For you, the Ostrich, the bird of the ingenue. Its huge, beautiful eyes spot predators far away, and its long, lithe legs enable it to run at high speed. The innocent is cleverer than she seems and capable of caring for herself after all. Balance is important, even key.
personal thoughts - whenever someone draws from an animal-based oracle, we tend to go looking at totem information because often that gives us a better idea of where the communication is coming from and towards what.
The general consensus is that ostrich is a reminder to be grounded first before connecting to higher things.

Oracle Readings Received: Rune Reading (January 2012)
First I calmed my breathing down and shuffled the cards, while thinking of my query. As usual, it took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to say. Eventually I settled on "what do I need to know to improve upon my current situation with my lover's family?"
In position A, representing the Past, I have drawn Mannaz. In Position B, representing the Present, I have drawn Fehu. In position C, representing the Future becoming, I have drawn Berkana.
My initial reaction to this was basically feeling like I got hit by a clue-by-four that my question wasn't quite The Question the Runes heard. I usually don't get really angry about this even though I sometimes am hesitant to read when I get these kinds of readings, mostly because I tend to at least be open to thinking about what they really mean (this tendency might overemphasize my personal insecurities with my own self-knowledge, I think, but I find it's also one of the things that also prevents me from making immediate judgment calls).
Mannaz gives me a sense of potential, and I think it underlines the fact I am often overly concerned with things that reflect my own self-worth in relationships with other people, and my tenuous relationship with my self-convictions.
Fehu for me is a symbol of inner conviction and inner value. Here it kind of gave me a sort of odd sense that I'm not All Here. In spite of being read in an upright position, I get the inner feeling that Fehu was giving me a gentle scolding of "Go back to Beginners' Mind. Stop looking for your Wants right now, see that you're thinking blind and all you Need is already there".
Berkana gives me a sense of rebirth in the sense of flexibility... I like to think of Berkana as the way I see a young birch tree -- they're tall and leafy and often sprout early, but they're also very flexible waif-like trees. To me Birch kind of represents a sort of childish honesty in rebirth. For me, Berkana underlines a potential for self-growth in understanding how to beflexible without allowing ourselves to bend too far.
In the end of the reading, the overall reaction I decided on was that basically, the runes want me to trust myself more and take some time to actually look around at what I do have right now and I'll figure out a way to open up myself to something new and more filling than what I'm trying to aim for in my relationships.
If you do not like the runes that came up, you should not cast again immediately using the same query because it usually means some inner consciousness is in denial about the runes that did come up. A recast will likely both frustrate the reader and the communication with the Self the runes are interpreting and the Runes will probably either continue to tell you things you don't want to hear or dissolve into Rune-gibberish because they don't want to deal with an ignorant fool who doesn't want to hear what's really on his or her mind.
