A peacock feather seems to hide the moon behind it, suggesting mental clarity without emotional baggage. The
"eye" of the feather represents seeing the truth objectively. It has
been said that in the days of chivalry, "by the Peacock” was a sacred
oath, because the peacock was thought to have the power of resurrection
and renewal, like the Phoenix. This
idea might have been born from seeing the peacock drop all of his
beautiful feathers during molting season and then later replace them. I
do know the power of thought - changing my thought can alter not only
my mood and attitude, but my life as well.
The oracle deck I'll be using this week is Heart of the Faerie, created by Brian and Wendy Froud. Today's card is "Oh No!:"

The
Frouds give the key phrases "Just one of those days, Obstructions, and
The Unexpected" to this impish fellow. I'm running on four hours of
sleep today, and after the emotional day I had yesterday, this is NOT
the card I wanted to choose! Yesterday I felt overwhelmed by life. I
found out two old friends were battling some serious illnesses, another
wanted me to perform an impossible task, and another has had her life
turned upside down and wanted me to provide her with an instant
solution. If I had a secret cave somewhere, I think I would have gone
and hid in it last night, just to have a break from everyone. Yet this
card and the woman battling brain cancer
both gave me the same advice: Don't lose your sense of humor. And
though these are some serious issues, my own inner imp tells me that
while I can offer encouragement, I'm fresh out of fairy godmother wands.
