I'm going to post using the date as the Title.


This card that jumped out when I was shuffling this afternoon, is from the Gilded Reverie - Lenormand by Ciro Marchetti.

12. Birds

As written in the booklet that came with the deck:

"A phone call, a text, or a date; that is how I communicate. I am in meetings, or interviews, and I like to negotiate. I an be your sibling, lover, or mate. Couples is what I indicate.

This card may be symbolic of jabber, gossip or the passing of information of a positive kind, as ever dependent on the cards in which company it is found. Many voices together are louder than one; it is also the modern view of 'crowd-sourcing' or mass communication. It can be as simple as an announcement that travels quickly or is distributed widely, especially when with the Rider (1) card.

It too is the ever-growing world of Facebook and Twitter communication. The card may mean literal 'Tweeting'. There may however be miscommunication with the 'Chinese-Whispers Effect'. In fairytales, characters are sometimes given the ability to understand the 'Language of the Birds' and it could be that the card signifies a misunderstanding, particularly when combined with the Birch (11)."

As I'm looking at the card and disregarding the guidance from the booklet as quoted above, I'm focussed on the grouping of the 3 birds that who are already perched and stable. There is an awareness about them of being ready for flight at any moment - a constant listening and looking for threats in the 'outer' realms of where they are presently occupied.

The fourth bird which is in flight, either just arriving or just leaving, is not even noticed by the three below. 

The bird on the left is super vigilant, the central one is looking very confident and almost arrogant as he balances nonchalantly on the twigs, and the one on the right is looking calmly relaxed and at ease, observing his surrounds.

To me this scene is suggesting for this afternoon an energy of communication that has been completed, a meeting that has serviced each of the participants in the way they each desired and within their own agendas. As the meeting members are beginning to leave, there is the readiness to face what is ahead without fear. Everything is sorted!

As you read the two explanations, take what you need from the words and feel what you are sensing about the card for your own interpretation and understanding.
