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.
Doreen Virtue numbered the Minor Arcana cards to comprise 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.
Today’s Card: The Five of Autumn
Our world continues to revolve through the chaos of the Corona Virus. While our elected officials bicker over whether to stay in quarantine or to reopen our world economies, most of us struggle to understand the implications of making money over saving lives.
I shuffled the cards three times and cut the deck. I then chose the top card. When I turned over this card, I felt the message came directly from the mother goddess, herself.
The Five of Autumn reminds us that when things feel challenging, there’s always a way to receive help—Ask for Divine guidance! Do you see the wise little boy fairy asking for help on the card’s image? Don’t be afraid to consult your gods and goddesses, the angels, or whatever spiritual source you feel comfortable consulting. They are always nearby, ready to hear your requests for assistance.
Be prepared, because help can suddenly appear and provide you with whatever you need. Look for the signs regarding how to proceed next. Remember, magical messages appear at every turn, and at every moment of every day. Ask for the messages to be made clear, so you know how to interpret the messages you receive.
Consider this: If you focus on the negative or the things in your life that make you unhappy, you’re setting yourself on the path for more difficulties to arise, which then become self-fulfilling prophecies. Instead, focus on the positives in your life.
The additional meanings of this card reflect what we all are feeling right now in these trying times. We all feel challenged by money issues, and obviously with all the layoffs this is poor timing for a career change. How many families are facing health concerns? Some of my friends have lost family members to the virus. Some believe they’re all alone when in reality, they are not.
How do we fix this? Shift your attention to what you have now, and what you want to manifest in the future. That way, your powers get used for good.
The Five of Autumn, #Butterfly #Cinquain
relief
comes to those who
ask for divine advice
when our lives feel most challenging
wise up
when magical messages come
embrace the positive
set forth your fate
flourish

Fantastic, I’ll watch this with great interest. Fairy lore is dear to my heart. Several years ago I posted – https://notestoponder.wordpress.com/2013/09/21/are-fairies-vegetarian/

What a timely message!
You’re do a great job at staying positive, Sis. Your videos crack me up. ❤️
Glad you are enjoying them 🤣
Great laughs, Sis. <3
Easier said than done sometimes…(k)
True. Especially when we feel trapped and someone else makes the decisions.
thank you, i look forward to these
Thanks, Beth. That makes me happy. ❤️
Such a beautiful timely message! We need to remember that we have a TEAM ready to help if we but ask. Thank you, Colleen! This was truly beautiful.
That message is ringing loudly in my ears. The message I keep getting is the only solution is a spiritual one for me, when my frustration in leadership overwhelms. I need to remember to ask for what I need, thanks Colleen:)
I keep telling myself the same thing. It’s so frustrating. I like to meditate to heal and recharge my chakras. That gives me strength. <3
Thank you, Jan. Asking for help is difficult for many of us. I’m so happy that I have this community of writers. It’s a blessing for sure. <3
“Poor time for career change” – Aaaah! I start a new job soon!
And yet… this job change has been in the works for awhile, correct? If so, the energies were different when you accepted the position. New jobs right now during this crisis feel temporary. Maybe that is our new norm – everything feels temporary right now. <3
Hope so! 🙂
You have the power! Manifest your destiny! <3
Haha, I love this comment because one of my works in progress is titled “Manifest Destiny”!
LOL! That’s fabulous! 😂
I appreciate this message, Colleen!
Thanks so much, Liz. Maneuvering these trying times is hard for all of us. <3
It definitely is.
Love how you dug out the positive in the message Sis <3
It’s really a decent card. It’s one of those that tells you to quit feeling sorry for yourself. Ask and ye shall receive. <3

A really nice reading, Colleen. 🙂 love the idea of a fairy tarot deck!
It’s a bit more uplifting than regular Tarot. I played with a deck for almost for a year before I started the readings. I wanted to make sure I was getting the messages straight. I understand Angel Tarot is similar. <3
Love the look of this deck, Colleen. Thanks for the uplifting reading!
You’re welcome Lisa. I do love my fairy connections. <3
Great post, thank you! I 😘
You’re so welcome. Happy Friday. <3
