"Why abduct the little girl? What is the reason behind it?"

The Fool: This depicts 'the blind folly' or the leap of faith. The Fool depicts 'the spiritual journeyman' commencing a new journey.

Giver Of Crescents: Depicts a robed figure standing before a woman surrounded by a swirling sea; the woman's arms are raised above her head and are holding a crescent . The moon is seen to be crying. Its tears fall into the crescent held by the woman in the sea.

(this card has appeared in previous Daily Merlin castings)

Three Of Crescents: what I deem as 'the birth card' Three crescents and three stars hang in a night sky. Below them is a river in torrent. Out of this river a hand is seen protruding, reaching out for the bottom crescent.

Four Of Staves: 'Established Strength'; victory and fruition.


Is the little girl still alive in this present time?


1 The Magician
: 'the mental image has been provided which provides that answer'. There is to soon be a communication or announcement.


What is the location of the little girl in this present time?

18: The Moon: 'Imagery depicts an ornamental pool with a pathway leading off from the top middle of the pool past towards the background of the image where there is the ocean. The path first passes through two dogs who stand facing each other. There are also two towers, one on either side of the path. There is a moon in the sky. It is crying. In the pool is a crustacean -- a lobster or a crayfish.

(this is an adaptation of the classic Moon tarot image)

"It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. Following the star the Fool travels through the night. The full Moon rises, illuminating for her a watery path. And she begins to feel disoriented, as if walking in her sleep. She passes under the moon, between two pillars ancient and strange. Suddenly, she looks around to find herself in another land entirely than when she was in the presence of the High Priestess, she saw hints of this dark land though the sheer veil draped behind her throne. The path the Fool was walking is now a river, and she stands hip-deep in the powerful pull of its salty, moonlit waters. There is, on the nearby shore, a small boat, but it has no rudder, no oar.

The Fool gets into the boat, and shoves off. As the waters sweep her away, moon beams light her "path" and she feels the Mistress of this dark land gazing down at her with the High Priestess's approving eyes."
