Crafting Poetry One Syllable at a Time
Posted on April 3, 2020 by Colleen M. Chesebro
Welcome to Fairy Tarot Friday. Each Friday I’ll share a card from the Fairy Tarot deck by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine, featuring an uplifting message from the fey. I’ll also include a bit of syllabic poetry inspired by the card reading.
The Major Arcana contains 22 cards that describe major events and turning points in our lives (marriage, pregnancy, relationship and career changes, and overcoming personal challenges). The Major Arcana cards also represent the different phases from childhood to old age.
They number the Minor Arcana cardsThe Minor Arcana comprises four suits representing different aspects of human life. They number the Minor Arcana cards 1 (Ace) through 10, plus the four court cards (Princess, Prince, Queen, and King). The Minor Arcana reflects the day-to-day aspects of our lives and the people in them. Court cards represent either a situation or a person during a reading.
The Minor Arcana comprises four suits. In traditional Tarot they are; wands, cups, swords, and coins. In Fairy Tarot, the four suits reflect the seasons: Spring for wands, Summer for cups, Winter for swords, and Autumn for coins. In Angel Tarot, the seasons represent the four elements: fire = spring, water = summer, air = winter, and earth = autumn. Consider these elements in relation to the Fairy Tarot as well.
The divinatory meanings are given for upright cards only—this tarot is not intended for reversed readings.
Once you get to know the fairies, you’ll see they are strong-willed environmentalists. They get perturbed at people who mistrust animals or the earth. Never lie to a fairy. Instead, help them take care of the planet and other living beings. Do your part. Your actions will richly reward you, and the fairies will encourage you in amazing ways.
Hello, friends. I could not believe my eyes when I picked the World card this morning. I literally got goosebumps! With everything going on in the world today, this could not have been more perfect.
Yet, there is good news ahead even thought the spread of the Corona Virus has infiltrated our world at every level. Like many of you, I struggled to maintain some semblance of order in my life this week.
However, this morning, I jumped out of bed and headed out for a long walk. Today, something felt different. The colors were brighter, more intense. I felt energized.
When I returned, I meditated for a long time. My aim was to join the collective—the higher realm where our energy frequencies connect. As above, so below. I felt the need to tap into this power, to change the vibration of fear into one of healing.
The World card is special! The number twenty-one equals the sacred number three, when we add the two digits together.
“Time is divided into three portions: The past, the present, and the future. The position in time that is most expressive of the non-physical is the present, because it is so fleeting and instantaneous. The function of that time, the present, is its service as connector. The number three expresses connection.“

The World card represents the successful end of a journey. It also represents connection… there’s that word again! We’ve all made it through several weeks of isolation and social distancing. Yay! Celebrate the fact that you’ve come this far. Lean into your successes.
Now is the time to recognize your progress, to reinforce how powerful and creative you’ve become. Do you feel the new energy surging around you? Everything feels golden, and that’s the magic touch of achievement. Be fearless in choosing your next big accomplishment.
Maybe you also connected to the higher realm. If so, this is the time to move forward in your own spiritual development. Continue your path toward enlightenment. Don’t forget to look for the good things along the way.
Inspect the World card above. This fairy has successfully completed her journey. It’s hard to see, but in her crown, and on her shoes, she wears the sign for infinity showing that she can now begin a new adventure.
ARE YOU READY?
So, here’s my offer. Join us tomorrow, for a Mass Meditation called “Ascension Timeline Meditation” which is being organized for April 4, 2020 at exactly 10:45 pm EDT (eastern daylight time U.S.) or 2:45 am UTC for 20 minutes and we need you to help us mobilize the greatest army of meditators this world has ever seen!
Together we will create MIRACLES by joining together as One Mind, One Heart at the precise moment of the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction which is 10:45 pm EDT on April 4th (New York, United States) or 2:45 am UTC, to anchor in these high vibrational energies and direct them using our Laser Focused Group Intention on the Liberation and Healing of humanity!

“What makes you a poet is a gift for language, an ability to see into the heart of things, and an ability to deal with important unconscious material. When all these things come together, you’re a poet.”

A wonderful card with so much meaning Colleen… and YES… I feel we as a collective are going though our metamorphic change…. There is a new energy in the air when you are not holding onto the fear that many are learning from and either are stuck in its fearful energy or they are embracing it and letting it go..
I am witnessing many, many positives in this testing time for humanity.. And while I see a hidden agenda behind the scenes, I do not think they have worked into that programming our resolve, our spirit and our unedifying love.. As I see our collective now gathering together in unity… Care, and unselfishness of serving others not serving self..
New beginning are subject to what kind of world we focus upon…
I will see you in the etheric space within our meditation Colleen.. Love and Light my friend…
Loved your post.. ❤
