I am picking my divination back up.  Tonight I asked what messages the Kindreds wish to give me.
Picture
The Ancestors gave me the Raven in reverse. This is a call to deal with my own darkness, my own destructive tendencies.  Recently a friend of mine started a diet game.  To earn some of the points we have to give up one bad habit.  I have slated my negative self talk as the habit I want gone from my life.  Two days into the game and this is a huge struggle for me. So much so, that I am wondering if I have bitten off more than I can handle.  This card makes me feel as if I am on the right track in what I need to be dealing with.  Raven is also one of my spirit animals. He seems to consistently watch over me when I am in deep trance, acting as guide and occasional head tho-whopper when I need it.  I try to listen to him as much as I can, because he has always led me true.  Thinking this card is going to be a good excuse for some journey work tonight.

The Nature Spirits gave me the fern in reverse. The guide book says this card in reverse is a symbol of self-effacement... beginning to sense a theme here, LOL.

"Feelings of no one noticing you or paying attention," are not exactly accurate for how I feel.  I really don't think I need more attention than I have.  Perhaps this is a call to go into the quiet a bit more? To be that small delicate life on the forest floor, that grows in the shadows of such big things as trees.  Ferns are healing plants, and powerful even though they are small.  I think I will ask about this one tonight while in trance.

“The interpretations should not be read as predictions, but should be used to provide words of advice, insights into the inner dynamics behind events," are the words I am trying to keep in mind while using these cards.

The Theoi have given me the Crane in reverse.  Guess I'm just a backwards kinda gal tonight.

"The 'shadow' side of the crane is manifested as harshness, meanness, and a nagging, complaining disposition... Ask yourself to  what extent you are denying the wise woman who has knowledge of death and the underworld within yourself, and to what extent your negative behavior may be a reflection of this denial."

I read this as a call to look into why I am so naggy, and mean to myself.  What darkness am I trying to ignore, that then turns around and bites me with such hateful ways? Is there more to this than just bad brain chemistry?  Is there something buried that needs to be brought into balance?  Hmmmm
