N is for Nest in High Places.
If you are pulled to this drawing, you are being asked to look at: This card is the Graduation card. Congratulations! You have burst through old beliefs and limitations recently. It’s a new way of being. You can now fly to exotic places where you can dance with snakes!
REVERSE: You might be looking at your limitations this week and areas where you are using “in the box” vs. “out of the box” thinking.
Healing Fairy Alphabet deck available for pre-order here
I have been busy creating the Fairy Deck which involves frequent trips to Nature. Oh the horrors! Ha ha. It’s starting to get buggy out there in the aftermath of Arizona monsoon season, but all part fairies are drawn to Nature and need it to survive.
There’s the gentle signs that Fall is just around the corner. Why must Summer go by so quickly?
Often the kind of healing magic of plants that you need surrounds you and is right in your backyard. ROSEMARY is really great for grounding and focus and just happens to be growing like crazy in my yard right now. The bush is almost as big as the tree! I know I need this essence for sure, especially while finishing this deck.
The Snapdragon was very quiet in the middle summer heat but has bounced back with all the rains. This is another great plant with healing qualities that include helping with headaches and tension. I wonder if it will help me with Hayfever.
One of the new cards has been revealed. Can you guess what letter it is?
Where is your favorite place in Nature to visit? Is it your own backyard? Or a park or forest?
This month’s card from the Healing Fairy Alphabet:
C is for Cocoon.
This the card of waiting, rest, planning ahead, dreaming. It might look like there is nothing happening on the surface, but much is unfolding.
I’ve been diligently working away at my FAIRY DECK for its September release. You can see my process on Instagram or Tumblr.
I know. I used to have Sketchbook Saturday, but I switched the dates. A gal can change her mind. I’ve been drawing on Saturday, but posting on Monday now. Here’s what I’ve been working on.

for the Healing Fairy Alphabet deck. Can you guess which letter?

If you are pulled to this drawing, you are being asked to look at: When you are planted in wrong soil and you are not thriving, you feel there is something wrong with you, rather than the soil. This happens when we are in places or situations that are not good matches for us. I love the Indian Gardens message. Indian Gardens is a lovely forest area near Sedona, Arizona, not far from my home. It’s filled with fairy energy and well, I love fairies, being part fairy.
“This is a message about honoring yourself. Do not compare yourself to others or feel that there is something wrong with you. There are lots of forests, but this one has it’s own voice. It is special and enough to who it belongs to. When you honor and accept yourself and your uniqueness, the world will reflect that back to you.”
It’s still in progress, but I thought I’d share my process of birthing a fairy card.

I can see now what places need work and what I want to change
