*********************************
1) Is her love pure- 9 of cups (Confidence,Happiness,Fulfillment,wish come true,passion,soul mate. I'd say so!)
2) Does she trust him- 3 of swords R (trying to despite her past relationship with Dandy but if she allows it Michael can be a healing influence)
3) What does she fear in the relationship- 10 of swords R (Michael Dying,his path becoming too overwhelming and he gives up,losing the battle,the past resurfacing)
4) Where does she wish the relationship to go in the future- 8 of wands (All their hard work paying off,coming to completion,Traveling,exciting,fast paced,intense,passionate)
5) Her future; with or without him- Ace of wands (Sexual,New life (maybe a pregnancy) ,Potential,rebirth,relocation (maybe ruling Hell),everything is within their grasp)
6) Is his love pure- 9 of wands R (I mean he's not so...I would say as much as it can be or he allows himself but he is also very prideful,and set in the ways of doing things (or what his Father/Cult want) and holding onto to long forgotten battles his love can be difficult and volatile.)
7) Does he trust her- 5 of pentacles R (See's her as a change for the better, someone who can help him as long as his pride doesn't get in the way.)
8) What does he fear in the relationship- Ace of pentacles R (Fears Greed getting in the way,losing everything,becoming to materialistic or power hungry to give to the relationship.)
9) Where does he wish the relationship to go in the future- The Hermit (Alone but not lonely,looking inward and self reflecting,a spiritual path which fits as he is the son of Satan. Mediating possibly on their relationship or creating a spiritual aspect of their relationship aside from simply physical,emotional and mental. Other signs might point to her being a Virgo.)
10) His future; with or without her- The Emperor ( A Leader,he will put his goals before even his family to a degree and bends to no one,powerful,but given as that is what Helena wants for their future I see her having no problem with how he takes action. Michael just as the card says does not mince words or hold back his feelings on a matter,he is matter of fact (if not sarcastic & mean at times) and direct. I see no one knocking him off his throne or position of power anytime soon. I also see him either becoming a Father or representing his father.)
11) What the couple represent together- Queen of cups R (Sacrifice,two faced (Angelic on the outside,manipulative on the inside. Which yeah they both are towards others),not grounded in reality,but being a former Spirit/Witch and The Anti christ they wouldn't be. Cold,aloof,I see this as them in a power sense or as rulers and not so much to one another (though I can see Helena changing over time)
12) What does the couple need to work on together- eight of cups R (Their Abandonment issues,clinging on to each other too much,becoming shallow or fear of moving on without one another (which seeing as how Helena has died and come back so many times,I can see why Michael would want to cling to her)
13) A road forward and action to take- 6 of cups R Clarity card-The Fool (Six of cups is so Michael transitioning from his young adult self to his leadership self when he's at The Sanctuary. Releasing ties,being reborn and an adult for the first time. Ready to take his rightful place,will not need Helena to be so protective or coddling over him anymore but as Michael has changed so has Helena,especially after coming back from Hell,she no longer sits back and lets him take the lead,is more flippant and superficial,loving her new found freedom. If he can get through to her or let her live in the moment then hopefully they can still make it work. (Her future seems to indicate maybe she calms down once pregnant,hopefully she doesn't become one of those mothers...Also I believe she may love power a bit more in the future then Michael and may even seek out Lucifer)
14) Is the relationship strong enough for a lifelong commitment- The Magician Clarity Card- Ace of wands
1. The ordinary world- Ace of Wands & Two of Wands (Encourages them to take control of their lives and go get whatever they are after,including in there own relationship,definte high sex drive,heralds creative action and assertiveness which Michael will need as the Antichrist. Two of Wands is easily when Michael joined the church of satan,without Helena,leaving her behind in the murder house. But he did come back for her.)
2. Call to adventure- The Moon and The Queen of Pentacles (That not everything is what it seems. That may indicate the church of satan or The Warlock and witch schools, maybe have to go it alone,or look for inner guidance,But this card is also for Witches so Michael and Helena's powers could grow strongest at night and under the light of the moon. The Queen of Pentacles is Helena to a T!)
3. Return of the call- Four of Wands And The Tower R (I can see this as Helena and Michael moving into Ms Meads home,very welcoming,warm,The church being excited their here,strong and supportive. This could indicate when Helena intends Miss Robichaux's Academy but I have a feeling it doesn't. Although it seems like The Tower Reversed definitely indicates Trouble with The Warlocks and witches,which is after they leave the church.)
4. Allies,Mentors and Helpers- Judgement and Justice R (Judgement is very much Michael coming into his power and being a very inspiring influence (either for good or evil) I'm seeing this once he joins the warlocks,also indicates an awakening to a spiritual purpose,so being the Antichrist. Justice Reversed lol Michael after he killed that cop,although lbr this could indicate Michael at any point in his life.)
5. Crossing of the threshold- The Star R and Empress
6. Guardians and Gatekeepers- Knight of cups and Ace of Pentacles R (Strong Emotions,Intense romantic bond,maybe each others Guardians.)
7. The road of trials- Four of cups and The Lovers (While this is the trial point,maybe this is the moment he lost Helena (mentally at least,as Cordelia took away her memories) and is just done with everything,we saw how he was when Ms Mead was gone,instead of going after The Coven right off the bat,it took him finding a new Church of Satan to set him back on his path again. It also indicates that,once he finds her again,she is within arms reach but he doesn’t know how to get to her mentally or if he even should return her memories. The Lovers card alongside the cups seems to confirm that it is about Helena and their more spiritual connection but also that it is ok for Michael to go ahead with whatever he had planned. Helena is drawn to him but is keeping her distance,probably because she doesn’t know why she finds him so appealing. Other then the obvious.)
8. The supreme ordeal- Page of pentacles and 6 of wands (Definitely represents Michael working towards building The Sanctuary and making business deals with The Illuminati,setting forth The Apocalypse. Also yes he was very close to his Mother figure and not so much his Father,also does stem from Childhood! This card also captures his relationship with Helena very well,met at a young age,have common goals,long term,will support him on their climb to success. Six of wands confirms success and victory.) “It’s time for The Apocalypse.”
9. The Abyss- The Hierophant and Page of wands- Religious following,initiation,leading the way or being led,someone telling you the right way to do things (Ms Mead). Again with leadership,vision,seeing an incredible future in his eyes,being determined that it will succeed the more others oppose him,inspiring and intelligent if a bit immature and impatient. Helena seems to worship him at first and their romance will continue to be a whirlwind but as Michael matures he will gain more power and confidence,therefore knowing that his greatest assest is his sexaulality,using it to get what he wants in others and his flirtatious nature may make Helena jealous.)
10. The ultimate boon- Ten of cups and 8 of wands R- Family! But once everything seemed to be on their side and in their favor now it suddenly comes to a halt and seems to reverse itself,Michael has become to impulsive and hasty in his plans leaving him frustrated and angry,two things you really don’t want with The Antichrist. This may affect their relationship as well.)
11. The return- Six of swords and King of wands R (A break is much needed,away from everything,No matter what Helena will still be there for Michael,he is not as alone as he feels. The king Reversed suggests that Michael’s domineering,controlling tendencies has caused them to lose the war along with his impulsive nature,which indicates why he feels depressed and alone. The Witches and Warlocks have won but Michael still refuses to let go of his power,so it is taken from him.)
12. Master of two worlds- The Emperor R and King of pentacles (Very much Michael after he loses everything,including Helena. But The King seems to indicate that his relentless goal in trying to get her back pays off but it is not only his success but also Helena’s as well. Their financial gain could be thanks to Lucifer but it is in an attempt to woo over Helena (who was with him in Hell.) making Micheal become possessive and jealous. Regardless they will not want for anything.)
Oracle final outcome- Activated Earth- Power,Magic through ley lines, Trust where you're led
The Dark Realm Spread
7******9******8
1 - Your Dark Soul Card - the card that represents Helena in this dark realm.- King of Cups (Going with the king’s personality Helena herself wouldn’t be very surprised she was their,neither would she let herself become overly emotional over dying,again. This also sounds like Helena in the beginning and maybe a sign that she has lost sight of her more compassionate nature and should go back to it. But also keep her secrets to herself for now.)
2 - Why you are here? - the reason why Helena is in this dark realm.- The Empress R (I mean I know why Helena’s there it’s because Cordelia killed her,which does match up with The Empress being reversed (falling from her place/status)
3 - What have you learned? - so far, in this journey of the soul, what lessons you have learned from this place.- 5 of Cups R (To move on from the living and let go of losing Michael,although he may not,to try and find happiness with someone new who has possibly been waiting in the background all this time...)
4 - What do you still have to learn? - the lessons you still have to learn from this dark realm.- 7 of Wands (This very much sounds like Helena when Lucifer appoints her Queen of Hell,though she doesn’t accept it at first,She started out as entertainment,then became a leader to some of the lesser demons,now as Queen their are those that are jealous,that seek her throne and she must stand up and fight once more,proving again how strong and powerful she still is.) “Do not confuse My compassion for weakness.”
5 - What are you hiding from the others? - the aspects of yourself that you don't show to the others. - 10 of Pentacles (Her family. Even after all this time we still know very little about them,here is when she must complete her journey,alone. Face her demons,of old money,pride and lineage handed down,of expectations and being well protected.)
6 - What is hidden from you? - the aspects of yourself that you're not aware of; can be external from the querent. Page of Cups (To not be such a people pleaser while in a position of power,to not hide her heart or feelings in regards to Lucifer,and to not lose sight of her intuition.)
7 - Your Dark Guardian - everyone has a guardian, and this card is Helena's dark guardian; this card somehow represent inner aspects of the querent, for sometimes the guardians went through similar issues of Helena, so they're there to teach to her the lessons they've learned.- 7 of Pentacles (Someone who is very successful,flourishes and hard working,with a quiet confidence but is also relentless and can be impatient.)
8 - How does your Dark Guardian helps you? - this is the tip given by the Dark Guardian to Helena on how to deal with these issues; the Dark Guardian shows here how he/she helps Helena. - 9 of Pentacles (To indulge in the finer things in life,to relax there’s no need to work so hard,your financially secure,he will make sure of it. )
9 - How to see, and to get to, the light? - This is the ultimate advice of the reading.- Queen of Cups (Coming back from Hell. Helena’s perseverance has paid off but so has her compassion and listening and love towards others,she has developed her psychic (and obvious spiritual) side even more,she has come back to earth and Michael a queen,her demeanor more otherworldly than ever before. Being in tune with her feelings and intuition once again she is highly intune to Michael’s plight once she comes back,loving,caring and empathetic towards him. Lucifer is pushed to the back for now,but how long will that last? Helena will need to assess the situation and approach it in a sensitive manner.)

Positions
Mother - relationship with mother- Oblivion (Mother lived in her own depressive bubble and didn't pay as much attention of Helena as she should,except in public to keep up appearances'. Was ashamed of her own magic (which is why I'm assuming Helena was put up for adoption as soon as her powers emerged.)
Father - relationship with father -Merak (Tended to tread softly around her Father. He was very ambitious and did not notice what was in front of him. Wanted Helena to follow in his footsteps,they are from old money,and Helena wanted the opposite.)
Childhood - What was the character like as a child? SuperMoon. (Magic was always attracted to her,especially during a supermoon. Helena was presented with opportunities and able to repel what she did not want,but because of her parents shame she did not seek out those good opportunities.)
Defining Moment - What memory still haunts the character? Or thrills? Lunar God. (Her Leadership skills,especially in the orphanage was appreciated by kids her own age but not so much adults. At this time though she had finally accepted her power and wanted to learn everything she could,as well as stand up for those weaker then her.)
Grade School - What influences did Grade School leave on them? Flashover (Not very good. She was taunted by her peers all through grade school and told she was crazy or that her magic was all in her head. Others were scared of her.)
High School - What influences did High School leave on them? Doable (She kept to herself until she met Dandy and her doorway to opportunity opened again.)
College or First Job - What influences did college or their first job leave on them? Resilience (Helena never went to college or had a job but at that age she was self reliant and resilient. As she tried to burn away the ghosts of her past.)
Defining Moment - What memory still haunts the character? Or thrills? Waxing Gibbious 4 (Her willpower to leave Dandy and go it along. It didn't work but she tried.)
Career - What path have they chosen? Tangibility (I see this as not just making her dreams real but becoming physically tangible after she died and Michael brought her back.)
Family - what is the prevailing family dynamic for the character? Euphoria (Being careful who she gives herself to physically (so Dandy) realize there are better things/people out there. Listen to divine inspiration. I'm thinking Michael is the white snakes.)
Drives - What drives the character to do what they do? Vertigo (Again Her will,knowing any choice she makes is the right one for her.)
Quirk - What is a main quirk everyone notices about the character? Wolf Moon (Hunger. Helena's ambitions,her dual sides,that they see as dangerous.)
Fears - What is something that they fear- Witch (Her magic. losing control. Shadow self.)
Hopes- Serindipty (Helena is hopeful she can let go and comes to peace with her self and her past. Go with the flow and accepts her magic.)
Major Strengths - Where is the character the strongest? Eunoia (Balance. Rebirth. Life and death. pretty much every time she reincarnates she becomes stronger.)
Major Weakeness - Where is the character the weakest? Mosaic ( When she tries to micromanage everything-might be her Capricorn Lilith & Taurus Rising.- needs to go with the flow and accept creative help,allowing old habits and fears to break free.)
Hopes/Aspirations/Dreams/Goals - What is the character yearning for? Waxing Crescent 1 (Being courages and letting go. Knowing herself inside and out. Reincarnation.)
