From the Tarot of the Sidhe, the Princess (Page) of Dreamers (Swords); from the Green Man Tree Oracle, Birch (Beith):
By acknowledging how ridiculous something is, people know what’s real again. We need those refreshers. It’s amazing how out of touch people can be when pretending there’s no elephant in the room. ―Karl Kristian Flores
This Princess/Page is always listening to the whispers on the wind, picking up pieces of information like a magnet finds iron. She is clever and perceptive but lacks tact and diplomacy. Similar to an Alzheimer's patient who's lost their social niceties filter, the Princess tells what she sees and hears. Of course, things can get awkward with her announcements, as with the child who pointed out the Emperor was wearing no clothes. Yet she is an ace at clearing the table of games people prefer to play instead of just being honest and open. Birch, because of its ability to quickly repopulate damaged forests, symbolizes new beginnings. It asks us, "Can there be a good conclusion without a good beginning?" Perhaps it is better to be direct and candid than to pussyfoot around any elephants.
