Even though yesterday's cards mirrored my frustration for the sick computer, the tears in the second card were maybe a little too extreme for the situation. I had thought that at the time. This is one of the things about card reading and divining the future. Sometimes, the cards might be tugging at something which we are not aware of at that point of reading. This is one of the reasons why it is good to go with how you and the cards feel when you are reading for someone else. If a client can see no more than a computer on it's last legs, it does not necessarily mean that there isn't the potential for a more emotional or problematic situation just around the corner. If you see tears, then you see tears. As an example, I have just found out that the pedestrian involved in the accident behind my house on Saturday died yesterday. It is more likely that this is where the cards were pointing in their extremity yesterday, and even though I didn't know the 44 year old woman, I couldn't help but shed tears when I found out that she had died in hospital. My prayers were answered, in that she was taken to safety as quickly as possible, but they were not enough to keep her alive.
After getting up around 6am, making it to the station, and then meeting my lift from my train for the second part of the journey, I was told that I wasn't needed in school today when I finally got there. Apparently, they had forgotten that exams were on and thought my presence might distract the kids from that. The atmosphere in school was generally pretty bad, since each of the teaching assistants in the centre I work at were given letters, saying that many of them will lose their jobs. They were all in a blur, shocked and worried, so I wasn't so disappointed to be let out of there for today. Since my coming in to school when I wasn't needed was their mistake, the head teacher drove me all the way home and I am being paid for the day regardless. It turned out that the materials I had ordered had still not arrived, so it's probably not such a bad thing.
That first card always seems to turn up when I am tired. I think it is possibly due to my lingering cold, but when I got home from the work that wasn't, I went straight off to bed. My eyes ache and I am still really bunged up. As I lay there, I wondered how I would have made it through today without a nap and was grateful for being sent home. So once again, the card turns up to represent sleep and recuperation.
The second card is set amongst shadows. A man sits behind some plants where he cannot be seen. This is not the same as the hiding figure already drawn from this deck, where the man retires behind his rock to escape the storm. This one could be perceived as a bit sneaky, as he might be laying in wait for prey. Even though I hadn't thought about it at the time, this guy's hairy leg and ankle in the darkness looks a little like that of a faun or Pan.
Even though I was given reasons for being sent home today, I was a little suspicious. I have not really been getting much back from the staff in that school, so I wondered if they were holding something from me and had made up an excuse to send me on my way. Despite the other staff being given redundancy letters, it shouldn't make much difference to my schedule, since that has already been paid for, but it did seem a little strange to not make any use of me while I was earning. I will mull over this. The second card leads me to believe that all is not as it seems and that the figure is simply biding his time before springing out of the shadows, but for now, I will
rest and conserve strength.Illustrations from The Dark Beach Oracle by Prince Le Normand
Wow, sounds like a weird day. I'm glad you got compensated for that, since it was not your mistake, but it's still a bit confusing, I agree.
ReplyDeleteI feel badly for the teaching assistants. How awful. It is terrible how teachers are paid here and I don't know how it is there but there are MANY cuts made to funding for education. It's such a shame.
I hope that what you fear is not true, or that if it IS true, then any nefarious actions have little to no repercussions for you. I hate feeling like something is off but not knowing what it is. I also agree with you about seeing things in the cards that don't make sense (that seem extreme, even) and then having them happen afterward. That's why I NEVER dismiss meanings outright.
Hugs,

Yes, I agree about the cards. If we can't trust what we see in them, then what's the point of reading them, eh? I always come back to what Ana Cortez said about always beinf dealt the right cards, however wrong or confusing they seem at the time. That whole accident really touched me, so even though I didn't know the woman, the cards picked up on the situation's importance to me.
ReplyDeleteI also feel bad for the T.A.s. One woman looked totally cut up. She said that even though it would be awful to not be working with the kids, she has things such as her motgage to worry about. I may not have consistent work, but I do have the luxury of not having those extra responsibilities to care for at the moment. It is a real shame. For the kids too, since so many of the teaching assistants are very good at what they do.
