Doing my own tarot reading

So last year I received some tarot cards from one of my good friends all the way from Australia!
They are The Oracle of Shadows and Light by Lucy Cavendish.
The artwork is pretty, totally me, but I've yet to use them until tonight. So as I got ready for my reading, I put on enigma a posteriori soundtrack. I love that one. 

So I shuffled until it felt good and did a spread and put my hand over them until the tingling warmth felt right. I have not done this type of spread in a long while, but it felt right. 

My first card is The Lantern Fairy. She says that a life challenge will present itself, that stubborn thinking can be changed. Old patterns will be removed little by little and to trust myself. That certain energies I have need to be replaced and reworked as some of those energies I no longer wish for and is keeping me isolated now instead of leading me to where I want to go. Go with love, kindness and freedom and avoid and avoid hate, anger, judgment and blame.
So this card speaks to me on a few levels, I am trying to lose weight and my stubborn thinking and patterns that I've put in place are being reworked, as I've been trying to do. As for the last bit, I have been trying to be more positive and fueled by love and avoid negativity alot.

My second card- The sea beacon fairy (another lantern type) it says that a perfect solution to a problem has been presented but whether it is wise for me to take it is another thing.  I have more resources and opportunities than I am aware of or that I am allowing myself to believe in. She tells me to not be too quick to follow the first opportunity and to wait and check all my sources as there are many paths and solutions, not advice will be right for me.
This card makes so much sense to me, I have opportunities but some of them, I tell myself I can't do or I make myself unaware of. One opportunity knocking at my door is to get some help for my weight loss, its a really big step, bigger than I was imagining, I want to take it, but am I taking it cause its the right thing to do for me or am I taking it because I won't get another chance like this again, maybe if I decline this chance, a better opportunity may come of it. I am now even more conflicted.

The third card - The Dried Flower fairy
She says basically to remember the little moments, the moments that made me happy, whether it be a photo, a cloud, a rainbow, a star, or even the knowledge that something I did has made a difference for someone. She tells me to  feel those precious moments again, to draw strength from them, that those little happy times and happy feelings that have no significance, will help me with the will help me do what must be done.

Card 4- Two little witches
They basically tell me to conduct a house clearing, a feng shui, whether it be a little change or a big change to a move, to clear out what I no longer need, to clear my space and that some of it is weighing me down. That's its okay to let go, sometimes positive things can be negative and that's okay.

Card 5- The Three Witchy Sisters
They basically tell me the karma meaning, what happens once will happen again and what goes around comes around. After three times it will be complete and say farewell, they tell me that whatever lesson I had, has been learned. That problems may be not be a problem, just something I don't understand yet and to think clearly and be aware of what is happening around me.

Card 6- The Witch at the End of the World
It says that  something's time has come. That a significant rearrangement of life from personal or global scale may be affected and that I need more harmony in my life. But to not be frightened, as I have to go through the storm to get to the other side. It's part of everyone's journey, the shift brings about more peace where shadows and light are accepted. Sometimes self healing may look like destruction and that's OK, let go of the old, let in the new. All is well.
Wow...these cards seem pretty good. Some of them gave me answers or at least gave me a sense of good feelings, that maybe some of the things I was thinking of, they called me out on. Besides people thinking the worst of tarot cards, they just don't like being called out is all.

I picked out one last bonus card.
Grumpy Red Fairy
She says this "I want to be me and be free without everyone giving me their opinion, I like being different, I won't be changing unless I want to, I don't need to change to fit in, I only need to be true to myself"
So many put restrictions on themselves and get upset at you because you have the freedom of expression to be true to yourself and they don't like that. Let you be you, be true to yourself, whoever you want to be day by day, just don't fake it or be nice cause you think you should be that way, be real, be who you are, be funny, be fierce, be you! Find out who you are  and try different things, that is what life is about, don't waste it being something you aren't.

Wow, just freaking wow. I needed to hear that so much, to know that is my bonus card, I have been trying hard really hard to find out who I am again and accept her instead of hide her away. Life's too damn short.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my reading and I hope that maybe it helped you too.
If you want a reading let me know, I'll post a blog about for you.
