I am speechless, thank-you for such kind words, I really hope that what you say is true as I do try my best when giving all my readings and you have hit exactly the spot I am trying to achieve



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reading for Farafina ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quote:

I have a new research direction that I'm passionate about and work now with 2 new profs on it.

Whilst I was shuffling my Avalon Oracle a card flew out and landed on the floor in front of me. It was the forest waymarker Truth. This card is reminding us that truth is very important at the moment, the waymarker is showing us where to find truth, to be on the look out for it and to make sure that we keep our eyes peeled for things that aren't what they seem to be. As this card was a 'flyer' I take this to be an important message, it certainly wanted to be at the top of the reading pile. I wonder if perhaps there is more to this situation than meets the eye? Keeping the truth clear in your mind is crucial here, focus on the truth and what that means to you and keep this very close to your heart too

Quote:

However, my old supervisor has been talking to one of them and is now trying to convince me to drop the new direction and return to her.... It's more a PERSUADING than a "convincing" actually since she is threatening to suspend my exam date

The Fear card came next, and this card can be taken as a help rather than a hinderance. Fear is something that we can use to our advantage, it keeps us on our toes and it helps us to be alert and careful. All traits that you may be using right now. Perhaps your old supervisor is causing the fear, but you can turn that round to be a power for you if you think about things in the right light and investigate all the possibilities.

The Wind Faery is the next voice to be heard and this card shows us the Wind Fae, the mystical faery that flys on wings that flap and cause the wind and breathes in and out causing the breeze that blows in our hair. This Faery is one of the most intelligent there is, she takes in all the knowledge that is carried round the world on the airwaves, she listens to every sound and she can feel every emotion that has ever been felt. This card may be telling us that you have the knowledge you need to see through this, perhaps there maybe a contract or document that shows your right to an exam date or specific term, perhaps there is paperwork that can help you here. Use your intellect and work through the problem as if it was a research challenge. Persuasion can be hard to ignore but you can perhaps use persuasion of your own too? Or perhaps use the persuasion of your two new profs?

Then we have The Grail Knight, confirmation that sometimes we need a goal that is possible and acheivable with time, dedication and hard work. The Knight is one of the messengers of Avalon and as he searches for his Holy Grail he meets lots of challenges along the way. Each one is sent to test him to see if he has what is needed, courage, and honesty, kindness, and mercy, perhaps this card is saying that you will meet many challenges along the way to your destiny and that each one will make you stronger like the Knight until you reach your goal. Perhaps like the challenges, the right answer, will make this situation disappear like magic and you will wonder what you were ever worrying about.

Hope that you enjoyed your reading

Many blessings  xxxx

Dear Lady of Avalon,

I was so excited to find your reading, that I had to calm down, breathe in and out, and read it several times.

You said things that really hit a chord within me. The past two days have been   filled with worry and doubt...

You said:


Indeed, facts were brought to my knowledge that point to a deeper problem in my department than I thought. About bullying and threatening happening to other students in the past.
I always felt that this department was not the right place for me, that somehow I didn't belong there. I always felt as if I were being choked or chained up. This may be the Truth that I should always remember. My guts always warned me that I wasn't in the right place for my spirit and intellect.

You also said:


Amazingly... yes! Between Tuesday and today, I have explored various options and possibilities for me and remembered that one of my new supervisors had suggested that I transfer to her university to complete my program. So I contacted the university and they were most welcoming and I am considering sending an application there...

You also mentioned that "perhaps there is paperwork that can help you here": my application and getting all the letters and references ready for it...? Probably.
Legally, she can delay my exam date by arguing that the essay I submitted to her is weak and needs to be reworked ( which I already did 4 times in the past 8 months!)


These are qualities that I would like not to lose in the process of completing my program. Dishonesty and aggressiveness are two things that are expected as normal behaviour in my department to the point where I was advised by other students who "made it" to lie, to threaten, to manipulate etc.
I refuse to do this. I refuse to lose my soul in this process. That would be failing.
I just want to do my research in peace, learn new things, and write an interesting piece of work at the end!  So the Grail Knight is an inspiration. I'll try to be like him. If it requires moving to a new institution, then so be it.

Lady of Avalon, my sincerest thanks. The reading was on point and I am so grateful that you accepted to do it and spend time on my issues.

I will keep you updated of new developments.

Thank-you so much for the feedback, and taking the time to reply in so much detail. I really enjoyed the energy of reading for you so many thanks to you for allowing me that honour and pleasure

Many blessings to you and the Knight
