My Strange Tarot, Spooky Tarot, Mysteries Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 7

Ace of Pentacles – Approach those things you need to do today with an attitude of abundance and optimism. You have a lot of work to get done today, but if you look at it with a fresh and positive outlook instead of with dread or reluctance, everything will go much smoother in the long run and you’ll have a better day over all as a result. Remember… you enjoy your work. So -let yourself- enjoy it.

October 8

Knight of Pumpkins (Pentacles) – The knight of pentacles has gathered what he needs to begin his journey toward his goals, and you are doing the same.  Remember as you work on your craft today that you don’t close yourself off to listening to those around you. The elders that are visiting today have stories to tell, both of the living and the dead, and listening to those stories can provide strength for the future through the knowledge they impart.

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

Six of Wands – Don’t let your need to please others, whether they be friends and family or customers and clients, push you into doing too much today.  You have a headache and are already feeling super stressed, so just do what you can and let the rest go for another time.

Miss LunaMiss Luna

Attentive and sweet
she’s waiting for me
with ears perked
and listening
for the key to slide
into the lock
and turn
to announce
my arrival
and send her running
to say hello
and rush eagerly
to greet me
at the end of the rug
by my front door

Falling Leaves Oracle Reading

Falling Leaves Oracle Reading with the Folklore Oracle

What cycle is reaching its end and is coming to completion?

Boo Boo Shaw – You are not going to have to continue to “fake it til you make it” with a brave face as you have through the summer months. It’s okay to start to relax and not worry so much what new nightmare is lurking around every corner.

What is falling away to make room for later growth?

Blackthorn atop Badger – You have spent the year learning how to connect with others in new ways and deeper levels, how to find value in those connections, and have practiced a level of patience you’ve never before shown. With going home this week, you can begin moving back into your own space while seeing the world and those in it in a new light.

How can more easily cope with the changes that need to occur?

Bear – Stand strong and protect what’s yours. Show your love to those that matter through your courage and strength. You are the “mama bear” and when you embody that energy during difficult changes, it helps immensely in getting your through them.

How can I open myself to the beauty of endings?

Luna atop Fir – It’s important to remember that during times of change and transition, there will always be things that stand firm and remain a constant.  A beacon of hope in the storm, so to speak. Don’t get so caught up in the whirlwind and chaos of change that you forget to spot those beacons and use them to anchor and ground you.
