Faeries Oracle

The Faery Challengers

The Faery Challengers bring us face to face with our fears, our denials, our inner traumas, our insecurities, our delusions and confusions, and our misbehaviors. These are the faeries who, metaphorically speaking, stick out a foot in front of us to see if we are paying attention to where we are going. They test our alertness and awareness, our insight, our knowledge, our wisdom, and our dedication to our personal growth. Without them, we might get very lazy.

Faery tests and challenges are not like the tests we had in school, which only discovered what we had already learned. They design their tests so that, in the process of passing them, we actually learn things that move us up to a higher level of being. They also do not offer us these challenges unless they feel we have the potential of passing. In other words, these are not mere tests but initiations. Some are minor, some are major.

What people often don't realize, when we are blaming the faeries for our own errors, is that the faeries earnestly hope that we will pass our tests, preferably on the first go. Otherwise, they have to administer them again and again. These are terrible jobs, but someone has to do them. They would much prefer to be joining in faery dances or lazing in the moonlight. They wish you faery good luck and look forward to congratulating you on succeeding with your challenges.
