Hello Daphne, very glad to be your partner, partner in crime ha ha I was just wondering if you have a preference for oracle. I have Slavic runes, tarot cards, and my new oracle deck "Ask Your Guides". I was unsure about oracle decks, and in fact I was questioning getting it (I always question things), but it's so delightful. I love using it for daily guidance. Hmm..I can pick it for you, of course, or even pick one of each. Could you PM me your date of birth and year of birth? I want to give you some info about your birth number as a bonus

Hello Daphne, your reading is ready, woohoo!! To be completely honest it didn't make much sense to me, so I hope something is going to ring a bell for you here. First of all, the guidance I get is that what you need to let go off is simple, and perhaps you wouldn't even think it an issue in your life. Once you identify what it is, and hopefully this reading will help you do that, hand it over to the angels, and let them heal the situation. I asked what this thing is that you hold on to in the past. From my "Messages From Your Angels" oracle deck, I pulled out Bridgette. Here she is: Now the way I interprete it is that you had a disappointment in the past, something you had the highest hopes for, and it didn't turn out favorably. I get a feeling it has to do with your daughter (ha ha if you have one), or your child. Perhaps one of them didn't heed to your leadership, or didn't take your advice in a situation. Now the second card in this spread is about the block that you have about letting go of this issue, and I drew Teresa. I feel this card also provides very important advice for you. Teresa takes you to take a rest. Perhaps you are trying to carry other peoples' burdens, or feel too responsible for actions of others? The last card is Isabella (one of my favorite angels). She comes into your life when there are some changes that are going to happen, or when a wish is going to manifest. She says the timing is right to fulfill your heart's desire, whatever that might be. You've been wishing for it, and now it's going to come into your life. My guess is that is might be an improved relationship with your daughter (still don't know if you have one lol), or something that you truely wish for, but may not consider it to be a priority. It could heal you to do something for yourself, since there seems to be a message for you to take a break from taking care of everyone around you. P.S. I'm still going to tell you later about your birth number, which is number 2!

Hi Lena! Sorry it took so long.. I have your reading, but I still feel it is not complete.. but will post it now anyway and perhaps revisit it again. For this reading, I drew one card to show the question – What is my partner holding from the past - and 2 others to clarify that, and a final card for the way to release that The deck used is The Celtic Wisdom Tarot by Caitlin Matthews. The focus of the question centres around ‘courtship of art’ - this deals with the emotions, specifically that relating to relationships. There is a relationship in the past that all relationships are measured against. The ‘Counselor’ and the ‘dialogue of battle’ further clarify this. The both also reiterate that truth, nature and knowledge illuminate any situation and that we ourselves are the authors of our story. This is a story that has remained in force and so colours all other relationships, kind of like a seeking of that which was. Often memories are buried and yet something of them remain and they then relate in measure to current situations. Kind of like a “holy grail” – and this you seek. The relationship need not necessarily be that with another ‘person’ – could be with yourself, or also with some way of being. Something that you ‘know’, but also need to look at “who” is the one that ‘knows’. Pretty much something that comes from deep inside that wants to be expressed in its own way. The way to release and move past is through the ‘quest of knowledge’ – this takes us into the human experience where we use skills that we have acquired These are ‘spiritual’ skills that we use in our growth and evolution, remembering that the physical world is where spirit expresses. Traditions that are carried down often give us direction to pursue, and you may find much in your ancestral wisdom. Very often something that holds us back is not always “personal” but rooted in our collective. Kind of like clearing the path behind us so that the way forward is seen clearer - looking to the familial patterns that we hold in our emotional body. Perhaps look to your mother or grandmother and see what has been carried down. The 10 also hold within it the 1 and so independence that is sought, can be understood within the matrix of interdependence and not co-dependence. It's really also about trusting your experiencing - you are always the final 'say' in anything and it is about working with your perceptions. As we change our perception, so does our reality change. What is 'past' 'present' and 'future' is really all happening in the same moment. To create the future you recreate the past. The arrow of time has no direction. Have you ever looked into the toltec way of recapping? or of the shamanic way of recollecting soul fragments? A healing process.. perhaps look into your ancestral shamanic roots? The 'relationship' that comes up for me is one of a soul relationship - not neccessarily the kind we usually see relationships as..

Thank you Daphne, what a wonderful reading, and I love these cards. Your reading does strike a chord in me. The Counselor card actually seems to point out a relationship with a specific person, and I am very much working on releasing that right now. As for Dialogue of Battle, something very specific it made me think of too, and that's VERY relevent to me right now, is how I hate to let go of people in my life. I love them dearly, and I want to hold on to them. Unfortunately, together with my love I feel I'm holding on to resentments, disappointments, and other negative emotions. Losing them feels like losing a part of myself. To take it further, we all seek the love of the Creator, and when we look for it outside of ourselves, we are afraid, always afraid to lose it. It is amazing to me the way I see that divine light in other people, and yet struggle so much to find it in me. I will look into ways of healing that you recommend. Can you recommend any specific books for this? Actually, I feel this is exactly what I've been looking for. You amazed me very much with the depth of this reading, thank you

Hi Lena! Thanks very much for the reading! I have been pondering on it - the first card did say "caution is warranted, look deeper into this situation before proceeding further" - since what came up for you was 'daughter' (or son) - I had a look at that, I have both a son and daughter but this didn't resonate with either of them, so I looked deeper - still deeper. Perhaps it could be a 'child surrogate' or inner child.. am still pondering, but I do feel that this refers more to that than a biological child. It is interesting that in the deck I used for your reading, Bridgette, also features as the Goddess Brigid/Bride/Brigantia/Brighid - and her later counterpart, St Brigit. That immediately struck me as I am not familair with the deck you are using and seemed rather a synchronistic start point. Brigid is know as The Guardian of Truth in my deck, and that again strikes the cord of looking deeper - caution - before proceeding further. Truth is indeed sought in hidden places, and to find that, one must seek to the source. Disappointment does resonate, and so I need to look deeper within to that source. I will heed the guidance of Theresa (grin) - time out is always good, and when one withdraws from a situation, it is possible to observe it dispassionatly. So the step as I see it, is to let it be.. to take care of my own needs first.. and then it/whatever will resolve itself in time - do nothing, but with intent. The final card of Isabella seems to confirm this too. It is time for the new, for having letting go of the old, and allowing something new to enter my life, something that has great meaning going by the "fulfil your hearts desire bit" - also taking into account the message from Bridgette, it means looking really deeper into the source of "hearts desire". Thanks Lena!!

Hi Lena! Thanks for the feedback on my reading! As regards healing, I have found that the books of Louise Hay with the accompanying practice that she outlines, are a good direction, and seem to resonate with the cards too. We are the authors of our own lives, we give meaning and receive meaning and so it helps to get to the source of that which is 'meaningful' to us. As regards healing the 'gentetic' (ancestral) line - I have found that much of our inherited patterns come from our parents - for women especially the maternal line, whether from the mother of the father. At conception we are a composite entity of our parents at that 'time' as well as of our 'own' entity. In other words we are born with a certain energy configuration that makes up "me" - an identity, both in actual and in potential. We add onto this identity our expereinces, and in many cases those expereinces move us away from the core that we are. To return to our core, so to speak, we remove the layers of that 'identity' - a kind of process that reveals the true self or essence that we are. Have you read Entering the Circle by Olga Kharitidi? You may enjoy that! Your birth numbers added to 28/10 - for me those numbers mean that the first step is in seeking balance, in that lies your power, and that - power in balance - leads to your own expression of individuality - to being your own person - so to speak - to claiming your own power, and so empowered with the power that comes from within.

Daphne, I'm working on healing most of my past relationships now because I did start to notice certain patterns to them. I feel three of them are most important - mother (and a little bit my dad), my first love (who passed on, and been visiting me lately), and my longest relationship.
Now there is something I do want to ask you, could you go a little more into what Dialogue of Battle means? I have a feeling it has a message for me.
And I'm glad you made some sense out of your reading! Yay! It was actually a reading that didn't make much sense for me, the other ones I had before this one were a lot more obvious.

Daphne, I Now there is something I do want to ask you, could you go a little more into what Dialogue of Battle means? I have a feeling it has a message for me. Hi Lena - essentially Dialogue of Battle is about cessation of hostilty. It is like a tempory truce, not a true ending, but nevertheless affords time of harmony. There are two (or more - but we'll stick with two) sides to every thought feeling action. The principle on which duality rests. On that 'rest' we generally pick a side - and we call that polarization: good/bad hot/cold black/white - ie when polarized we go in a particular direction. We do that through comparison, and make a decision. It is a great stimulator for movement and action and tells us that nothing is final, but really only momentary, fleeting, and that we can use this too. In other words - decisions need not be 'final' other than in the moment. The next moment we are free to decide again. pretty much about being in the moment. In that way we do not then polarize. In your reading, what comes up for me is that of "reconciliation" - something you can do to reconcile something in your life. To bring about a moment of 'truce' and not fight that which you genrally do fight! (whatever that is) In other words, do it differently. You can always do it again, and again and again. Nothing is cast in concrete and you can always change your mind!
