The Fairy Godmother:
Just saying that name, Fairy Godmother, conjures up lovely images for me. Fairy tales as a child and magic and fantasy, and hope and love. Just to start.

Now, The card: A lovely fairy sits on a cloud. Her long hair is red and flowing. Her cloak is prple with blue trim which has crrescent mooms along it. She holds a key (to open up mysticl doors?) in one hand and a wand in the other. The wand points down and sprinkles magic on the horse-drawn pumkin coach below. The horse looks up at the magic being sprinkled downon them. Animals are so much more in-tune with magic and the nature forces. Above her is another cloud with a castle in it.

Personally I was always more interested in being the Fairy Godmother than Cinderella.

From the book, Inner Child Cards: A Journey Into Fairy Tales, Myth and Nature
"While not the main character in the original Grimm Brothers' Cinderella, The Fairy Godmother has played a big part in shaping our inner awareness of magical helpers, due to the Walt Disney adaptation of the story."

My thoughts:
She is the mother, the Lady. She is in tune with spiritual dimensions and shares this with those who need her. She helps us, but mainly to find the magic within ourselves.

From the book:
"We have our high priestess or fairy godmother within us. Where we honor her is the deepest place of our psyche. She grows into our wisdom as we gain faith in the spirit of our eternal and undeniable protection in the universe."

My thoughts:
When I had my first reading done, the woman had me pull one card from each of her two decks. Each card I pulled was the High Priestess. She then had me choose which deck I wanted and the HP became my significator. She helps me into my inner levels and always guides me.

From the book:
"The Fairy Godmother is an enchantress, a holy sacred mother of the ancient mysteries. She ushers in what we think we do not know or cannot have or dare not to express. She offers our innate wisdom to believe in - be it miraclews or magic or our divine intelligence. She offers us gifts of the spirit: the gifts of innerguidance and universal love."
