Faery of the Week - September 17, 2001

[Guest guest]

(Note: normally this is something I just do for my Iseum list...but

this week it felt like something that *everyone* who has been working so

hard for the past week deserved to hear. I hope some of you will feel

the same.)

 

Love, Estara Korai

 

This week's Faery is - brace yourselves, Lyceum members - the Singer of

Transfiguration (#17). (Those of you playing along at home will notice

that this is the one that looks like, yes that's right, a PHOENIX!

Since we seem to be getting hit over the head with this imagery of late,

I will give more of the message than usual.)

 

The Singer of Transfiguration tells us that we have been through the

gate, we have passed through the initiation process, and we have reached

a new way of being, reflecting deep transformation within ourselves.

Things will never again be what they once were. Things will never be

seen in the same way by us, and *this is a good thing!* This Singer's

joyful, passionate, bright blaze of color heralds a time of fulfillment

and accomplishment.

 

As with the other Singers, the power and joy of this one radiates

especially strongly to the things and beings symbolized by the cards

around it. Like the reborn, renewed phoenix, this Singer is aflame with

vibrant, expanded life.

 

There really isn't much I can say about this - not even the faeries seem

to have anything to add. They are just sitting around here, smiling

blissfully, even ol' G. Doom, and humming an ethereal and beautiful

melody. And the cat in my lap, Sylvie, is purring so loudly it sounds

like she is singing - as indeed she is. So are we all.

 

Jackpot! This card in a reading signifies the joy of success after a

time of struggle. A new way of life has been accepted and is being

integrated. A sense of inner peace is growing. The struggle has all

been worth it. This is a time of consolidation and joy, and is both a

reward for past achievements and a time of preparation for the next

climb up the path.

 

Even reversed, this card simply suggests that the realization or

completion of this process is just around the corner. Enjoy!
