Hi otgt,Best wishes to make a full recovery!
I do dearly love to seek spirit guides so I shall attempt to identify your main 3 spirit guides.
I must admit I do not have any real knowledge of the theory and complexity of spirit guides and the like however lets not let ignorance phase us, or rather me! haha
So I just use the tarot and get three cards to put me in the mind frame of who the guides are. Top 3 of your guides according to me are:
6 swords: A middle aged woman wearing like a turban wrap on her head. The fabrics she wears are silk I think and in colours, and the multicolours of the matching dress and turban are in kind of loosely designed striped panels of colour in purple green yellow ochre/gold and perhaps vermillion/red. She has rings on her fingers and her footwear almost seems bare footed except for a very thin thong with a very thin base possibly made out of goat/sheep kid skin and hide, she calls them slippers or similar. She looks at me with full awareness. She is tanned. She is well travelled saying that her country is many and she has arborarian/arborean in her. That may be a translated word to me, it might not be the language this person would use. Anyway I looked it up and has something to do with trees. They are certainly not a monkey and are quite beautiful and fine. I feel she is from an island along the north west African coastline around the mouth of the Mediterranean. Ive just looked it up and there is an Alboran Sea at the mouth of the Aegean. She has a sensation of Spanish, Moroccan, and possibly another ethnicity that had lineage with some core Egyptian type of people. Her message to you (7 pentacles, Devil, 5 cups) is something along the lines that you are a great story writer and historian yourself. She says be sure to do some shopping while you are in Rome. Particularly her knowledge of the main market square is that there was once a great precious stone fashioner there. She also knew an eminent man from Rome (well he was probably a crook) however he really laid on the hospitality and his friends could spend months there basically enjoying themselves under his name. I think she lived in this century but perhaps was born in the early 1900s and her age would match around the 1950s/60s. Perhaps she died first of a type of bedwetting which shocked her and then she found that she had internal female problems that was not sufficiently dealt with and she died of a putrefaction in her womb. She is not unhappy and apart from the early stages of pain she was heavily sedated and basically left consciousness in a haze of a few images and perhaps a bit of a discomfort in her chest like how I would think it felt if someone was sitting on your chest. So perhaps she was given quite a bit of morphine in the end to ease her death and she experienced a type of respiratory depression effect from the morphine. She does have regrets but perhaps they were mostly about things when she was small (about 7 or 8) just little things like she wished she would have fed some more stray dogs etc, however perhaps her family discouraged her from this as although there was sufficient food there was not enough for stray animals.
The next guide is indicated by the Wheel of Fortune: I can not place what this guide is. Perhaps he is a nature spirit. He, I think as he feels more like a him however he indicates that it is not really the case and can push forth any gender impression. Anyway he has much enthusiasm and shows me things to interest me. I feel there is a slight inconfidence which warms and touches my heart. He feels he has to show equally interesting and amazing things and enthusiastically shows me things like a line of busy ants or sends me impressions of how plants fill and stay hydrated with water. He feels sometimes so cold cold cold for a long time then he will suddenly be in contact with the brightest miracles that feel like they last for eons but may only be a few minutes - he can not determine time. His message to you is, and I feel perhaps another consciousness has intervened to provide this, is that everyone counts in their efforts to support keeping vegetation on the planet and looking after the ecosystems (or something like that). It feels though like earth will always bounce back but be different when it does.
The next guide feels like a grandmother and most likely a type of relative of yours. They could though be like perhaps this type of relationship to you: Your father may have had a stepmother and she then had another child which is your father's brother. The grandmother feels like she really cares for a lot of people. Her message to you is along the lines of terror because she associates Rome with Mussolini. She does cross herself and talks quickly, and remembers hiding from threat relating to Mussolini. She did however find her love at that time and this perhaps was your father's father (let me know if this is incorrect as it is very specific). She shows appreciation for your father and perhaps he was like a young teenager when she met your grandfather and was good with things like getting wood and looking after her child. I'm not sure if I've got that right but perhaps it is close to something like that. However that would make you some age yourself and your father would be over 100 yrs old so maybe there is a further generation in between. Does your family have any link to people who were actually oppressed or terrorised by Mussolini?
As per usual, I hope that doesn't freak you out. I find there is usually something or several things that I get wrong in these readings. Best to take it with a grain of salt (or two, and maybe a sip of lemon, and a shot of tequila, haha).
