Ada: My Guide

I think it is time I introduced Ada in a little more detail. She is my spirit guide, and we all have one apparently. Some people are blissfully unaware of their guide's presence in their lives and never pay much attention to where those random hunches and gut feelings come from, and those caring entities are cool with that. They have no ego and don't take any credit for their work.

I actually have two guides, that I am aware of, although it is Ada who is at for forefront, helping me during readings and personal matters in a more obvious manner. The second guide I have is, Astarott. He tends to take on the form of a wise old wizard, think Merlin. I am under the impression that he deals with the major factors in my life. Maybe Ada is his little assistant, taking care of the life's general and lesser worrisome situations, while Astarott shapes me spiritually and prepares me for the next phase. As I do not know a great deal about him, for this blog post I shall focus on Ada.

Ada introduced herself to me when I was around nine years old. I first noticed her as a thought or feeling, something that was just there but not obvious. Later, her communication became more audible, until eventually she made her appearance known. Guides do not consider their identity an important part of their relationship with you, however. Some guides have no physical identity and their being can be anything from a spirit of a human, an animal or a simple essence.

As mentioned in my first blog post, Ada communes with me on five different levels, which are as follows:

Level 1 - Feelings / hunches
Level 2 - Audible thoughts
Level 3 - Audible conversation
Level 4 - Visual
Level 5 - One on one conversation / trance state

Which level we communicate within, depends on several factors, such as my mental state, level of relaxation, both our energies and many other elements can play a part on the quality or type of spiritual communication.

Ada is in fact, wait for it... A fairy. It is somewhat difficult for this red blooded male, to admit that I talk to a fairy, but she is what she is, and I can not and would not want to change that. She looks like a traditional fairy from the children's story books ("they had to get it from somewhere", she often says!), think Tinkerbell, and you are not far from how she looks; a little glowing star sat on my shoulder, whispering in my ear. And, she likes to point out that it's, Faerie (with a capital F), not fairy.

I was blessed with the most sarcastic, witty and humorous guide. Faerie folk are traditional renowned for their mischievous little tricks, and Ada is no exception. It can be quite difficult to do a reading for somebody, sat opposite you, with tears in their eyes, while Ada is in my ear, being sarcastic and witty.

I have always been fascinated to know where she comes from and I am interested to learn more about what a Faerie actually is. All I know so far is that, a Faerie is a spirit of the air and a guardian of nature. She once asked me "Do you know what happens to all the insects and creepy crawlies when they are squashed?!" To which I replied "They go to the spirit world like everything else?". Ada told me that insects are part of the nature realm, and when their physical body dies, their spirit lives on in the realms of nature, among the Faerie folk. The next time you step on bug, or purposely crush a spider with your slipper, pay attention and see if anything bad happens to you, such as dropping your phone down the toilet, or tripping over that said slipper!

I would love to share much more about Ada with people reading my blog. When she reveals more to me about the mysterious Faerie folk, I shall be happy to write that down too, My guide is the one whom has constantly encouraged me to write about our work together. Whenever I have started a blog or website of some kind, a big smile has spread across the width of  her face, quickly followed by a sigh of disappointment, when she realizes it's just another thing about baking, music or photography!
