Elisan nodded and took the cards back from Aartur, dividing the deck in half randomly and then placing what was on the bottom, on the top. She drew three cards and laid them face up on the table, one after another.Â
"What was, what is, and what may come..." A brief explanation was given on the simple layout before she went on to the cards themselves.Â
"What was - Sairie, the Godmother. She brings us grace, gifts, talents..in the past, you had this blessing - protection from ill will and the plain stupidity of others, sometimes your own mistakes. She untangles the snarls in our psyches and gives us choices where we thought we had none. In the past, you often had unexpected good fortune, last minute "rescues" so to speak. Her lesson was in remembering the kindnesses given to you so that you might in turn, bestow them upon others.
What is - the Journeyman. He is the harbringer of adventure..independence and travel. All of the great ones - the saints, the warriors - all those filled by spiritual light have been on this journey. You are starting this journey -stepping off of the 'safe paths' and into the wilderness so that you might come out stronger, better. His presence here suggests that now is the time to hone your skills in both working and living. You must use caution though- and ensure that you balance intuition with sound reason. Be sure you have a clear idea of where you want to go".
She paused a moment, letting him absorb the information before she moved to the last card. "What may be.." A gesture to the final card as she spoke again, "the singers of the Chalice. Another good card to see - the singers tell a tale of hope, trust and patience. They speak of miracles. In order to drink of this cup, your heart must be open. Open is open - there is no other state. This door cannot be 'open a little' or even halfway. You must be willing to trust in the greater powers of the universe and open yourself fully in order to let loose the true power than lay within you.
Carefully, she slid each card back into the deck and reshuffled them together before watching Aartur, to gauge his reaction.
