Cute and Creepy Tarot, Earth Whispers Tarot, Skele-Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 4

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Six of Cups – Choose to not listen to the negative narrative in your head. Choose to not be pessimistic. Choose to not be negative. Choose to not listen to that negative voice in your head that says “no you can’t”.

“I’m the cauldron of my own happiness, brewing up visions of success.” For you, positivity and optimism is a conscious choice, and your success relies on making the choice to lean into that positivity.

October 5

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and took place while soaking in the bathtub. The meditation was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Shadow Self (aka. The Devil) – Self destruction is a temptation of yours that comes with a great number of bad habits and unhealthy urges and nasty negative inner narratives. Sometimes, you don’t even realize that you’re indulging in them until something turns around and shines a spotlight on them.

One of those self destructive habits is to put yourself down, often without even realizing you’re doing it. It’s not difficult, with the scars and damage you wear, and yet when something comes along like the affirmation “I am Boo-tiful” it brings home a reminder that you have let this quiet voice in your head get out of control.

Make sure you don’t ignore what’s going on. Now that it’s been brought into the spotlight? Take time to counteract these destructive moments with positive ones. Feed that pain filled inner soul something good with a bit of self appreciation today.

October 6

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Wheel of Fortune – Set aside fear and pride, and focus on being kind… even to those that you feel might not deserve it. When you seek to approach others and life as a whole with kindness, you live consciously, aware of how you affect others and the world around you as a whole. Everything in life is easier when you offer kindness to yourself and to others. The good times are even better, the bad times are a little less heavy.

October Goodness

The spooky season
has come
and with it
a little fun
with round one
of decorations
galore
hung outside
the door
and lots of sweets
on every counter
and filling
every bowl
a season of temptation
and gluttony
and more.

Philosophical Questions for October 2023

October Philosophical Questions Oracle Reading with the Abandoned Oracle X-Ray Edition

Oct 4th – Is there an afterlife?

The Mutant and The Clock – In death, we transform into our purest form. That said, everyone’s clock ticks at a different speed on the other side, and while some end up moving on immediately, others may linger for a short amount of time or longer.  In either case, there is something that happens with each of us after death and therefore, yes, there’s an afterlife.

Oct 11th – Do ghosts exist?

The Cat and The Bird – Some are ready to move on at the first opportunity and when it is given to them they move with speed to grab hold and go with it.  Others choose not to go with the flow and decide to stick around to pursue their own interests.  So yes, these latter individuals become ghosts.

Oct 18th – What awaits us after we pass to the other side of the veil?

The Thief and Voices – When we first pass over to the other side of the veil, there is a time of adjustment where we feel that we have had our lives stolen from us and everything feels overwhelming and confusing.

Oct 25th – Can everyone on the other side make contact when the veil is thin?

The Hand and Revenge – If they are strong enough and motivated enough, they can reach through the veil when the veil is at its thinnest. That motivation can often come from a desire to strike out at the living, seek revenge of some sort, or to accomplish something unfinished they feel is their right or responsibility to complete.
