MTG Salvation

Sadly my relationship with Louise lasted for a while as a distance relationship, given who I was and what her parents thought of me going out with their daughter (oddly enough as Liberal Democrat voters the idea of this Tory Beast taking their Beauty off on the back of his white charger was not really what they had in mind for her!). It is always preferable to turn distance relationships into close-quarters ones at the earliest opportunity or they won't survive long.

Looking at my (or rather Louise's - they're all her old cards, we bought new ones to play with properly) MTG tarot for your relationship with both ladies:

M Y T A ? (lovely name, but is it M-eyeta or Meeta?)

M - Shoe Tree - She was just your receptacle or vehicle for a while and the relationship was growing too fast. I think she will come back here soon enough, please don't think you scared her off for good, but I suppose she just wants a break for a while. The relationship perhaps suffered from overgrowth in the wrong direction, because it was ultimately unfulfillable.

Y - Gluetius Maximus- You got, again, stuck into the wrong lady here; again, things came unstuck because there was no future in her. For you it's OK, but I think she found it difficult to cope with the problems and had to hide for a while. It happens more to women than men that a relationship makes them hide from society for a while, but again, as I said, she'll be back when she's ready.

T - Goblin Mime - (the preponderance of Unhinged cards in this reading suggests to me that it was a bit of fun anyway and that Myta won't be too badly hurt by this.) This is you trying to find a way out of this yourself - the door is there, you just have to realise that you are coming in from the cold here, not out of the situation as it stands. Once you stop beating yourself up about Myta's disappearance, it will be better for both of you and she can come back onto somewhere which she did enjoy in the past and will enjoy in the future.

A - Goblin Secret Agent - suggests to me you finished it right before something went seriously wrong with both of you and saved yourselves more permanent damage. Looking here at what went right but what had to finish is ultimately going to be better than continued "down-time" here and angst is only perhaps prolonging things rather than healing them.

? - Rod of Spanking - not a bad card, again - it's over, it gave both of you a bad time in the end, but the light-heartedness in which the relationship was conducted shows that neither of you will be damaged in the long-run and as I said, she is not too painfully damaged and will come back...just give her time to get over it and don't stress that you have ruined her life at all.

E L I S H A ?

E - Keeper of the Sacred Word - you don't mention much about Elisha, but this is you keeping her under wraps a bit more so you can bear your soul about what happened with Myta. You can afford to be more circumspect about this relationship because it's the one you feel most happy about, and Elisha is your real soul-mate here (like Louise is mine) - so you feel more relaxed with her and about her and keep her more private than you have with Myta.

L - Aven Flock - you feel that you've felt the breath of fresh air here and that there is an aura of "birds of a feather flock together" - the heavenly host have visited you as well, but in a secular context.
You and Elisha are made for each other and are able to flock together in a way that you and Myta found difficult (if the relationship with her had been meant to last, distance wouldn't have mattered; Louise's old boyfriend went out with her for eight years and throughout that time lived roughly 100 miles away: but for her although they maintained the relationship for a good length of time for people living that far apart, it didn't last because Louise just didn't feel she loved him enough to move to be with him and that there was still someone else out there for her, though she never reckoned on him being 66 and famous, so it still came as a surprise when I met her and told her what was going on. So you've found your flock, now, and good luck :}.

S - Frazzled Editor - You can still enjoy a light-hearted relationship with her - look at the flavour text - but you still have a bit of a job to unravel this relationship and get to know Elisha as more than just a light-hearted fling and as your real soul-mate. Getting her back won't be too difficult as long as you cut through her issues with you and try to rectify some of it.

H - Hoodwink - You are fooling yourself if you think it's really over. She has really stolen your heart - not that you minded anyway - and you haven't got much of a race on the cards here but still...love is like this. Trust me, I'm 66 and I still have issues, particularly being famous and having a wife like Sandra who looks good on TV but that I haven't slept with in the same bed - literally, we've made love since then, though not frequently - for twelve years.

A - Land Aid '04 - if I am reading this one right, you and Elisha have known each other since then - 2004 - and if that is the case then you should really know each other much longer than just three, nearly four years. You've really got something to sing about here, and I don't blame you, because everyone here is cheering you and her on. Go for it still with her, and make more mention of your love to her; she still loves you but she needs to hear it said and she also may need a serenade now and again.

? - Deal Damage - again another Unhinged card, and a suggestion here that a light-hearted relationship is more serious underneath. You haven't really caused too much damage, or it's not too serious if you have, because you and Elisha are part of the same flock; just don't deal too much more. Now you are over Myta it is necessary to redouble your efforts with Elisha, but I know, again drawing Shoe Tree that this will grow and grow again until you reach the point where you know you are meant to be together.

GOOD LUCK.
