Name: eli

King
In Court
Fire
Question: My father and I had an awful relationship while he was alive largely due to his religious paranoia.He has been dead for a few years now and has been definitely sending me signs. My other spirit guides seem to be encouraging us to reconnect which I was NOT expecting considering they encouraged me to curse him while he was alive. I'm looking for any advice or warnings on communicating with him!
Thank you so much! I love your work!!!!
Three Kings Divination Explanation
For this reading, the Guardian of the Night Tarot is the querent and the King of Wands representing the Court of Fire, the Skyrim Tarot is the Queen and the Queen of Spells, and the Neopets Tarot is the Fool and the Page of Wands.
You are the King of Wands, head of the Court of Fire, represented by a maned lion in this deck. The lion represents passion, command, authority, royalty, power, and prestige. Your advice to yourself is the Five of Pentacles reversed and the Hierophant reversed. You are overall not feeling optimistic about this renewed presence. I don't know if you're the sort who believes that people can change after death, but skepticism is your shield right now. There is a chance that working with him after his death will help heal the rift between you when he was alive, but it's also entirely possible that it would just make things worse between you. Your father had expectations for you that didn't line up with you now, and if you don't want to deal with that again, it's up to you.
In my practice, a reversed card becomes its opposite element, meaning that this is a dynamic between Fire and Air (neutral elements) instead of Fire and Earth (best friend elements). Fire is willing to take Air's advice into consideration, but ultimately, the choice remains Fire's to make. And I don't associate the Major Arcana with elements unless they come built-in in the deck already, but it's important to note that the depiction of this card is, in the creator's own words, directly inspired by Ratatouille. Interpret that as you will.
Your Queen is the Queen of Spells, Master Wizard Mirabelle Ervine of the College of Winterhold. She is a Breton elemental mage and handles the actual running of the College while the Arch-Mage does fuckall. She prefers fire-based magic, as most of her offensive spells fall under the flames category. Her advice to you is Justice upright and the Two of Lockpicks upright. She believes that working with your father's spirit will help heal the rift between you two in life and bring justice and closure, but there's a strong emphasis on balance in this part of the reading. Happiness and harmony is key, particularly among one's spiritual family or court, and if you believe that your father's spirit will disrupt that balance, you are within your right to be wary.
In my practice, Fire and Earth are best friends. There is no element that Fire trusts the word of more than Earth. They are confidants, allies, and deeply understand each other. It's not a perfect relationship, of course, but it's a good one. And as I said, I don't associate the Major Arcana with elements, but Justice depicts Talos, the King of Earth and Sky, the Dragon of the North. That looks like Earth and Air to me. Most importantly here, he is the father of the Septim dynasty and founder of the Third Empire, ushering in the Third Era.
Your Fool is the Page of Wands, Jhudora the Dark Faerie (who would kill me for calling her a Fool). She has a longstanding rivalry with Illusen the Earth Faerie that more and more looks like a messy sapphic breakup. As far as Dark Faeries go, she's considered "nice", and her wand is one of the most powerful weapons in all of Neopia. No one knows what she does with all of the items that she has various Neopians fetch for her, but Queen Fyora is keeping an eye on her just in case. Her advice to you is Strength upright and the Four of Swords reversed. Unlike Mirabelle, Jhudora is grabbing you by the shoulders and telling you to think. Is this really something you want? Because if it is, you're in for something that will test your patience and your inner strength in a way that may be utterly miserable. You've listened to your spirit guides, you've listened to your court, you may even have listened to your father's spirit, but the important question here is, what do you want? Are you just paying attention out of obligation to family, or is a post-mortem reconnection something you're interested in?
In my practice...well, we've already gone over the Major Arcana and reversed elements thing. Fire and Earth are best friends, doubled down with the fact that the Strength card depicts Illusen the Earth Faerie. I snickered a little when I flipped over the card to see Jhudora referring to her rival for help.
This reading has a strong theme of balancing conflict and past rough edges in relationships. Or maybe that's because of the kantele music I was listening to in the background. Who knows.
Ultimately, the ball is in your court. Uh, literally. The most that I, your court, and your spirit guides can do is offer advice (though I'm to a much lesser degree). It's up to you if you want to bridge that gap with your father's spirit.
Please reblog this with feedback or send feedback to the ask box, as this is part of a test of the Three Kings Divination!
These readings wipe me out, so any insight, munching and crunching, and rambling thoughts you have about the reading will be very helpful with me analyzing how well this spread is doing! Anything you feel is pertinent, interesting, or personal - including your own interpretations of the cards or elements, if you wish - are welcome! Feel free to reblog this to whatever blog is most appropriate!
