I've done this once before and I'm in the mood to do it again today. One-card readings from the Brian Froud/Jessica Macbeth The Faeries' Oracle deck by request.
Somewhere between the first fifteen people and the first thirty people to ask for a card will get one (or possibly more, if the faeries insist, but I guarantee at least one). I may not get to all the actual readings today, but I will post an edit when I'm not taking any more requests. If you give me a question, I'll try to interpret with that in mind. If not, I'll be more general.
Be aware that this deck is really, really prone to poking fun at askers of questions, and I will not water down that tone at all. *grin* But it should be all in fun. Usually, anyway...
P.S. cow,
koemiko,
lyssabard,
littlone and
dekucat, since I missed you last time any of you may have a card just by asking, even if I've closed it. I'll keep you in mind when I decide when to close requests.
ETA: Yes, I know LJ is going down any moment now. If you get in before then, maybe I'll have them when LJ's back up, if not, well, I'm doing this when LJ comes back up this afternoon. :)
ETA: I have fifteen as of right now. I'll probably do a few more but how many depends in part on how these go.
ETA: Taking a break for a few. I have seventeen requests so far, and I'm thinking I'll stop at twenty-one, since I like the idea of seven by three requests.
ETA: I have twenty-one requests. This round is closed. I'm working through the remaining readings.

The expression on the Fee Lion's face is the same one we see on the cat's face, saying, "You know I have my dinner at five o'clock." He is the deliverer of guilt, the one who reminds us of all the things we really should be doing right now. He sometimes gets a little grumpy about this because it's his job to do this, and he'd rather be out playing himself.

Expand Arval Parrot is the faerie who reminds us that communication is hard work, and yet crucially important. He tells us that both listening well and speaking clearly and honestly are important. He also reminds us that not all communication is in words; body language, tone, word choice and things not said are all important bits of our communication. Solus is the last of the Singers, and he thus straddles realities. When we don't know what we need, he is there to help, if asked. He encourages us to use our strengths, and yet understands that we may need help to shore up our weaknesses, and so helps us make the connections we need to get that support. The Bodacious Bodach is the consummate meddler. He means well, truly he does, but more often than not his meddling causes far more problems than it solves. Unfortunately, the only way to keep him from coming around and meddling in your affairs is to have those affairs in order. Do some tidying, literally and/or figuratively. A Collective of Pixies are all about joyful performing of necessary duties. However, when reversed, as they are for you, they don't have enough to do and they get into mischief. Make sure you, and everyone involved, has enough to do without being overloaded, and find the joy in doing those things which are necessary. Dance with the Pixies as they help the plants grow and the world turn at the right speed. Indi cannot ever make up his mind. Should it be this, or that? Usually when he shows up it's a sign that someone needs to stop waffling and make a decision, whatever that decision may be, but when he's standing on his head, like he is for you, perhaps he is right to hesitate. Sometimes there isn't enough information to decide, and Indi wants you to make sure you know everything you can know before you decide, so that you make an informed decision. I love that deck! And again Indi visits, again standing on his head. (See my answer to sends: The Dark Lady is the missress of rituals, mysteries and secrets. She is the one who travels with us through darkness, whether that is a darkness of grief, of winter or of night. We find her in deep surrender or ritual, and she is telling you that perhaps a little isolation, a little time with the Dark Lady isn't such a bad idea. One cannot be revitalized without some time within, one cannot wake rested in the morning without dreaming through the night.

The Soul Shrinker's job is to reflect the negative things you say to and about others back to you, so that you have a clearer picture of what you're doing and can be a better person. It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it.
