Hello. Can I get a reading for healing? Dealing with a spirit. Thank you.
So there was weirdness yesterday and they didn’t want to talk. I took a break and didn’t get back to it, sorry guys.

Center: The Subject. “Pure Balance”
A card of harmony and success, saying things are coming to not are in balance, ad in this position says that you directly bring this into your sphere of influence. Magickally you have become the fulcrum of the scales by stepping into them to wield this angelic power. -
East: Initiation. Spring.“Faerie King”
Something new and different: bit of a trickster here. But the subject is heavily involved with balance… it occurs to me that as we see with Loki in the Norse sagas a trickster can expose truths that bring balance. If this is yourself, or an sources from the lad, either say something may need exposing to be handled well, maybe something entrenched, so that unorthodox methods become a good way to do this.
Note from me: I just had this conversation with a work collegue, so not sure now if this is synchronicity, or a message for me sneaking in. These cards challenge my linear and compartmentalised ways of thinking to be sure! Let me know if this one is very off base?
-
South. Future, Work, Summer. “Union”
Could also be called “relationship” as this is about a partnership between two people, (as in, sentient entities), but it could be magickal, business or personal. If you’re open to a relationship or have done workings to find something, this says it’s on it’s way. In light of the Pure Balance card I think this could also be with yourself in the sense of the alchemical marriage, which is a high achievement towards ascension.
-
West. Home, Ageing, Autumn, Legacy. “Star Father”
This looks like a progression through time, that the fruition of the Union is the seed of potential. The first step on a new path. -
North. Ancestors, Death, The Past. Winter. “Foundation”
Very solid as Foundation is also Earth and North and it’s here in the position of Earth and North. I’d say that overrides the “past” aspect some. It’s also talking about beginnings, and says your progress and new endeavours are built on stable roots. -
Union. Biggest Influence on the subject, Relationships, Input. “Keeper of Justice”
Justice is the angel of Justice, representing the scales and again balance, and cause and effect. Balance is at the beginning and end of this reading so I’d say it’s well in hand. Upholding and restoring balance is one of the main “jobs” of an adept. Like the Druids who were the highest adepts in Celtic Shamanism and therefore trusted with judgement and at one time were the kings.
Summary:
There’s a feeling of completion and harvesting of just rewards. Your hard work is paying off and you are moving into a period where you can use your knowledge actvely bringing balance and justice to help the land and/or the people around you. There’s also the begining of new work as an adept building on everything you know and have achived so far, whether it’s within or without.

Two pop outs, these take focus away from the subject, and looking at the subjects I think they’re saying “well it’s not quite like that”.
Threshold Guardian:
(Not about limits this one) The threshold being talked about is the doorway, the kind of threshold you cross all the time, between the physical waking and inner astral worlds. It’s about everything manifesting reality: energy, ideas and creativity, leading to new life, new experiences and new works.
Weaver of Creation:
The Weaver gathers thread of light/energy and power, and creates complex patterns [of probability] upon which the other powers work with for a coherent manifest reality. It can appear when you’re planning a big project, creating an organisation, or having a baby, things that are meant to last and contribute with a life of their own well into the future.
-
Center: The Subject. “Idiot”
“Emptiness” and “Nothing” This became a wildcard because the cards wanted to replace it with the two cards above. I see nothing here that merits a warning not to be foolish. (I’m not trying to be nice it’s literally empty of meaning.) -
East: Initiation. Spring. “Inner Companion”
A “inner contact”, as in, an entity, that works with you as you you explore the unseen, a kind of guide. This says you’re working on a larger developmental process and your work in this is supported by inner guidance. -
South. Future, Work, Summer. “Archon & Aion”
Gatekeeper to the divine realms. It’s a warning against pushing too hard too fast in the wrong direction. The Inner Companion should help you avoid any issues and this feels like it’s telling you they will seem like they’re holding you back, but are trying to prevent magickal fatigue or backlash. -
West. Home, Ageing, Autumn, Legacy. “Healer”
Water elemental power stemming from the sea, nurturing and healing, this card says there’s some healing work ahead. In this position it may be consequential to the work that had you butting up against the limit of the Archon and Aion. If missteps are made you will heal from them and learn in the doing. You could even choose to force the issue in order to sustain some damage so that this learning can happen. Because then as an adept you can help others with the same. -
North. Ancestors, Death, The Past. Winter. “Premonition”
In the past, there was a working that brought imbalance, or someone you know passed on. This card is the Bean Sidhe, fairy woman who foretells something unpleasant including death, but this has gone by now. Seems like it could be a magickal operation that didn’t work out. Maybe the Healer is connected to resolving that last remnants of it’s effects. As the rest of the reading is fine, this could be a more emotional thing and more easily worked on than a physical issue, and the Healer is about your having the ability to complete the emotional healing. Kind of a “that sucked, but chin up you can do it/it’ll be ok”. Based on the other cards you’re already doing it, and they pay their respects. -
Union. Biggest Influence on the subject, Relationships, Input. “Inner Librarian”
An inner contact/entity that helps you access the Inner Library, which I read as being the Akashic records, or at least the parts of those that are of interest to you. A card about intensive study and being guided to the right material, but also gaining knowledge not written in the physical realm. In this position of Union this seems a very important relationship. For me, this entity is Lucifuge Rofocale, it could be Thoth, Hermes as well, any scribe of the gods, an ancestor who remembers your bloodline magick etc.
Summary:
You’re walking a path guided and supported by multiple inner guides who wish to bring the knowledge you seek. There’s some healing caused by unfortunate events even a tragedy, that’s worth doing that you’re already working on and having that resolved will help your progress. You’ve got that annoying “not ready” message about something in the future, but plenty of guidance to work around or through it. You have massive powers of creation and manifestation, and could push the issue but there are lots of things worth learning first.

Ooh, very cool. For this one, let’s use the Landscape layout, as that has been developer to look at magickal questions and things. There’s more cards in this so I’ll try to keep it succinct.
-
Mother Earth: The Land, the subject of the reading: “Parasite”
Not really what I expected, though the cards told me it was time to pull…
A being that feeds off the energy of others. Seems like a warning that something is feeding off the energy of the grove, enough to be in a very prominent position in the reading. This may be the snake. -
Union aka the Relationships with the subject: “Seclusion”
A relationship with Seclusion? A need for removal from influence, healing, withdrawal in order ro heal. -
Star Father, the long term outcome: “Elder”
Literally an ender or wise person, the grove has the potential to stand the test of time. -
Abyss, that in the deep past that is now gone: “Staff of the Gods”
A magickal wand or staff. Fire and South. A passive tool that conducts yang energy, creative fire, for the mage. This may represent the inception of the grove, confirming it’s creatorship by you and completion. Lines of fate, which I would call patterns of high probability, have been formed and there is a need to take a strong and form stance ahead. -
Gate, the past that affects this reading but may pass away: “Hidden Knowledge”
Hidden knowledge is a filter for divine spark as it crosses the abyss into the materium, and is reflected in sacred geometry. There’s a hidden element that will reveal itself, Considering the position, when it does the Gate will have been passed through and the mystery won’t be a big deal any more. -
Wheel of Fate, which is the shorter term effects of the mage on the thread woven by the Weaver: “Light Bearer”
This looks very favourable, and your choices are wise and bring light to the situation. The Light Bearer is the road opener, you are unobstructed to forge ahead with this path. -
Grindstone, the difficulties to be aware of: “Gate of the Past”
You might be trying to hang on to something or looking back, but, this card si also the gate of the underworld,and talks about a need to work in the Underworld. This speaks to the cthonic dreams and so feels like the better association. It’s saying the dreams are relevant to the grove’s powers, and may contain a gate to the Underworld, but this is causing difficulties. -
Inner Temple, here, this is clearly the grove in physical and astral space: “Inspiration”
It’s also what’s manifesting into the physical from the astral. A favourable card saying the grove strongly but easily and unstoppably brings through creative and regenerative energies to the soul. -
Home and Hearth, family and tribe: “Death”
A final end to something. Here this could mean you’re leaving behind and old system or work that o longer serves you or leaving an area to which you will not return, maybe an older version of an inner/astral temple.
I myself have abandoned 2 old astral temples after they were invaded by local entities and it turned out the location wasn’t as private as I wanted, one was too close to the physical, and the other was someone else’s henge I didn’t realise was in use. Doesn’t feel like this applies to the current grove quite, more like acknowledging it’s unique place in your landscape in comparison, as a newly build and solid replacement of the old. -
Unraveller, what is being undone: “Fate Giver”
If fate if being undone, you are manifesting changes in the flows of probability through the creative power of this grove. The inspiration comes from the divine, thus the laws are observed and the grove is a powerful tool for magickal workings. -
River of Dreams, also vision work: “Disease”
As it’s surrounded by favourable cards, this may not be too much of a worry, but warns of imbalance in the dreamwork. The cthonic element has been verified as correct, but may not be as strongly cthonic as given. Maybe some energy within is setting a heavier weigh to that energy than necessary. Most of the reading is talking about a divine inspiration rather than underworld one. -
Path of Hercules, the immediate path forward: “Creator of Time”
The Creator of Time represents the formation directly from the seed of potential seen in the Star Father. So we’re talking about a path to venerable wisdom as seen in the Elder. This is a new time in which to accompllsh you goals.
Summary:
So these cards seem to be of the opinion that the snake is a parasite, albeit a minor one, but it’s in the way, and could be what’s causing the extra emphasis on cthonic imagery in your dreamwork. It’s not causing much harm if you’re aware of it’s ah, preferences. There’s an absolute ton of energy outpouring from the grove that easily sustains it without negative impact, but you might like to ask it to move on to avoid confusion (or maybe you can give it a job?).
Otherwise, the grove seems to be a very successful working that is doing what you wanted and will bring manifestations and learning for many years to come. It’s got nice balance with representations from the underworld and inner astral as well as the upper worlds. There’s no warnings about biting off more than you can chew or other limits to the power it represents.
Vis a vis sending parasites home, this post started by Lady Eva offers a portal now. It will be better for some types than others and this particular entity may find it worth using.

Thank you Mulberry 
this is very interesting and I would say some synchronicities are there.
I’m off to work now right now so I will reflect on this through the day and try to re-read it.
It’s quite an eye opener, thank you

Not yet, you’re after anneysips, who was the last person on the list the last time I made one. There’s still a dozen people in line before you at the moment.
To be clear, I’m not using that list, it was a courtesy to show people that I was paying attention to who posted that kind of backfired. 
I will hide it as now it’s confusing.
Several people have posted requests after I made that list and you were one of them.
The actual list is the topic itself.

The grove does put off a lot of energy; it’s what drew me to it in the first place. I’m not surprised something else came around for the same reason 
Parasite, oof. Not quite what I was hoping for but very good to know. I haven’t felt anything sinister (although it can get quite spooky at night). If it is the snake, that means the “local deity” I invited in is a parasite. I dreamt of her one time, the night after I invited her, and she did not “feel” like an imposter/ standard parasite. But I also do not really feel her when I am in the grove. Even an ubi has more presence…
Do you think it is possible for this card to represent an unbalanced and afflicted local deity?
If it is not the snake, then it may be a local / wight. There are some dead around. I believe I have been able to help some willing dead that came to me in dream move on by the agency of a psychopomp servitor I creates (vetted by norse900), but she’s not designed to force a crossing and I told her to only approach the willing.
Thank you very much for elucidating this. I have felt an imbalance and confusion, but fortunately nothing malevolent. I will do some more divination of my own to explore this deeper.
Thoughts
It is a place I go to be alone from living humans, with end goal of working to heal and balance the land and it’s residents. I have “selfish magick” spots, but this one is not for me.

Fantastic:D

Equally lovely, thank you

Hmm. Time will tell!

My dreams about the grove have involved dark elves, being taken (uncomfortably) deep into the earth, and underworld hounds. I would not be surprised if it was a chronic portal, but this is so strange to me because the feeling is not cthonic outside of dream. The area is noticeably calming and energizing and soothing.
Perhaps the underworld gate is secondary to the grove itselfy, and by “opening” the grove I opened the gate and let something else through / woke dormant energies up 
Thoughts
Wonderful
Thoughts
My work with the grove (and the woods) has absolutely been a turning point in my magical practice and even my identity. I am entering a new life chapter in many ways. Spot on.
I wonder if this could also be a reference to the wandering dead…
Thoughts
Yet more wonderful news, much obliged
Thoughts
Hmm. I will need to think about this for a while. I’m not sure what to make of it as of yet.

Very good. It’s a wonderful area full of beautiful wildlife and spirits, and I’d like to keep it that way!
Thank you very much Mulberry, this was a wonderful and very helpful reading. I would rather give said paradise a job or at least understand it better; I’ll save “shipping it off” as a last resort. Thank you for the insight and the link

Yes, absolutely.
And here I depart from McCarthys opinion that parasites are a type pf being and see it as a behaviour that any entity can do, not all entities die if they can’t feed off others, and some cases of parasitism are accidents or misunderstandings. It doesn’t exist in isolation but requires relationships.
It occurs to me, there’s no card for in this deck for symbiotic relationships that are mutually beneficial or at least not harmful to one party.
Quick card pull: Elder, Light Bearer, Disease re emerged. It’s very old. it’s aligned with freedom not control, and it seems more lost and out of place, a stranger in a strange land.
As you say the place is full of life and it could be something else hiding behind the snake.
That makes sense. As well as having to get really deep to get through that gate. It seems connected to the land and ancient. A lot of fresher energies can be “louder” and drown that out in the daylight.
That fits, especially if it’s a gate to the Underworld, they could come and go through that and some would be attracted to it and be passing through rather than staying around.

Yeaaah, a lot of that hits home.
The reading validates a lot of things I’ve had on my mind, little questions I had.
So that’s something going on already right ? Asking because I work with Anpu lately, for everything about shadow work pretty much. But could it be a spirit that did not reveal himself, and just be working in the “shadows” ?
That’s funny, because the thing I seek the most is knowledge, so the Akashic records thing could be quite accurate. I assume it’s not for right now though.
Yep, there has been lot of healing already, and still more ahead. I’ve been untangling a lot of issues, that either happened in the past, or happens now. Always felt like everything I ran into, all those experiences might one day help someone.
Also, I’ve been told a few times already, that I had really good powers when it comes to manifestation, and I started realising it myself too.
Thank you a lot Not writing much more, don’t feel super good atm, but at least wanted to give some feedback.

Yes, Initiation means beginning. so it’s something recently started or in the planning phases. It won’t be something you’re been doing daily for many years.
That’s fine: the Akashic records are the repository of all human knowledge, that’s exactly where you want to get info from… the “not yet” bit was coming up in the future: the Archon & Aion card is warning of a limit that will damage you if you try to cross the abyss in a forced way. But if you keep learning then you’d find the way around it. The librarian is a guide, he’s got nothing to do with the abyss or the archon/aion gatekeepers standing in your way.
Much appreciated, thanks! Hope you feel better soon.

I would agree with this. It makes more sense to me.
Thank you for pulling clarifiers. I will keep trying to work with it and help it find balance
Between wondering dead (and potentially complexes of them) and the spirits in the grove stones themselves, one of which appeared to me as a fiery hound, there are a number of candidates. Intuitively I’d say it’s the deity.
Thank you

Center: The Subject. “Luna”
The magickal power of the moon, yin, cool but bright, fertility, rhythms of the tides, bringer of complexity and illusion, this card means we don’t have the whole story and should be extra careful not to be fooled with the reading. As this is related directly to the subject, which is your entity relationship, it’s probably a good idea you’re asking questions. But let’s see if the cards will explain what we don’t know. -
East: Initiation. Spring. “Place of Healing”
The waters that soothe and heal. The spirit seems to have brought a healing presence and started or helped you with some inner healing process. Could also indicate the need to work with water in a healing capacity. -
South. Future, Work, Summer. “Archon & Aion”
(Weird how this card comes up so much.) This cards says there’s a limit coming up in the future that you won’t be able to cross at that time, and you’d sustain damage trying. I think this points to the confusion coming from the moon, if you’re expecting something from this entity ad it’s not quite what you thought, you could be heading into an impasse. -
West. Home, Ageing, Autumn, Legacy. “Path of Hercules”
This cards reminds us that with challenge comes opportunity, so it’s not always a bad thing… in this case the opportunity to learn a lot and to walk the path to adept-hood. It’s also the light at the end of the tunnel after a struggle. -
North. Ancestors, Death, The Past. Winter. “Regeneration”
Health, energy and renewal, the results of the healing and the end of the heroes journey seen above are the release of stress and burden, and completion. You come out the other side stronger than you went in. -
Union. Biggest Influence on the subject, Relationships, Input. “Inner Librarian”
An inner guide that will help lead you to the knowledge you need throughout this journey. Can help you find the Akashic records and connect to the ancestral wisdon in the human collective unconscious,.
Summary:
Overall, staying with the entity, in a relationship that is complex and contains hidden aspects and implications that you don’t know yet, could be the harder path, but you will learn a lot in the doing, and potentially make faster progress on your spiritual path. Eventually the entity itself will help teach or guide you to the knowledge you need, and it’s not what you’d expect. If you stay open and positive, focusing on the benefits and the learning you can get a lot out of it.
On the other hand it would be easier to walk away and not deal with the stressful parts, you do have the inner librarian, (who isn’t the entity) also helping you reach knowledge, and the slower path is less risky and more peaceful, and doesn’t run you into a wall in the future that you have to learn to avoid.
It might come down to your personality at that point, whether you prefer a more controlled and steady part time kind of pace that could take years more time, or the short fast intensive. Both work, they are just very different experiences. If you go the intense approach, I’d say take full advantage of the healing abilities of the spirit.

Thank you Mulberry, I’m still a bit taken aback by your reading. This morning when I first saw what you wrote for your reading of me I found it so thought provoking and inspiring and almost in disbelief that you tapped into a subject matter that has been in the forefront of my mind.
I noticed that you posted the reading just a little short while after I had been typing a reply on another topic, I’m yet to post that reply but the concept of ‘balance’ was all through what I was thinking. The question in that topic wasn’t about finding balance but balance was the answer that I was trying to explain.
The funny thing is that in what I was trying to write depicted using scales and thoughts that add weight. I have found that in all things, balance is key, balance is king and balance creates. So my eyes popped seeing you writing that balance is so prominent throughout my reading
I’m sorry but at the moment I’m not aware of anything to add or suppose from this.
As for your “note from me” about you having the same conversation with a work colleague, I’m not sure if you were referring to 2 or 3. If you meant 2 then it might be your synchronicity.
This is very encouraging I wonder if this union, with myself, is something along the lines of: I now remember times when I would berate myself all the time, knocking myself down, having a go at myself anytime something went wrong. I’ve not done that for a long time now, that behaviour is like a distant memory now and this popped into mind while reading the above, 3.
I’m just really loving the way Pure Balance keeps showing itself and yes I have done workings for relationships and also for self improvement. I have to say that I am at ease and therefore have my sense of balance and I feel positivity. It’s nice to see you say that ‘it’ is on it’s way.
Again this is encouraging. It’s like you are saying that it really takes something to get to “fruition of the Union” and experience on top of experience is what leads to a reliable seed of potential growth.
So encouraging
I’ve always seen balance as being important to me, in trying to see both sides of a story and what is fair. But I think in more recent years I’ve noticed that creating balance where there is none is a very powerful thing and gives me a sense of that is where progression is and not to just be an observer like I have been in the previous years of my life and nowadays I feel much more strongly that I really am able to create balance on my terms.
Hmmm me thinks that Mulberry is psychically copy and pasting the inner me 
I have to say that there are areas of my life that I do feel much more positive and at ease with and I feel that I am moulding things to suit me and altogether I do get a sense of power and being able to achieve in me.
Thank you again Mulberry you have sparked my imagination and given me lots to think about
