Things to Research Before Working with the Fae

Research is the most important thing to do before heading into Faery work and witchcraft. You want to have a lot of in depth and versatile knowledge covering many areas of the topic so you’ll be able to understand and interact with the Fair Folk! If you don’t want to work with the Fair Folk you can use this list to help yourself understand them and take the proper measure if you ever stumble upon them. I know the list could go on forever but I’m compiling the topics I find build a good foundation of understanding. I have compiled this list to give those interested guidance and a push in the right direction, it is best you do your own research before asking other’s personal knowledge and opinions!!

Tarot Cards that are Marvelous When Reversed

Reversed cards like to rain on your parade, delaying what is hoped for and dampening what is great. But not all of them are villainous. These ones are especially auspicious.

The Devil

The ropes around you are loosening. Your liberation is coming.

Five of Cups

Pain has been dealt. Grief has been felt. Sorrow can now begin to melt.

The Moon

What is hidden will come to light. All will once again be clear and bright.

Five of Wands

Conflicts are almost over. Furious minds and hateful hearts will soon feel sober.

The Hanged Man

What is delayed is now in position. Action will soon succeed stagnation.

Four of Cups

A farewell to dullness and apathy. You will soon have a reason to be very happy.

Three of Swords

Forgiveness will be given or received. Your agony will hence be relieved.

The Tower

You survived or avoided a disaster. What awaits now are greener pastures.

Ten of Swords

The worst of it is over. From this moment, it all starts to get better.

Nine of Swords

There are no more reasons to worry. You can stop being scared and weary.

Five of Pentacles

All that you lost and all that you lack are now, at last, on their way back.

Knight of Swords

Sympathy and gentleness will banish cruelty and recklessness.

Eight of Swords

Remove now your blindfold. What was once copper has been turned into gold.

Ten of Wands

The heaviness will lift. You will put down your burdens and set them adrift.

Five of Swords

You are moving on from defeat. Enough of the bitter, and more of the sweet.
