Questions for October 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th

Tarotholics Challenge Lenormand Reading with the Halloween Lenormand

Jack-o-Lantern: What makes you smile and lifts your spirits?

Coffin and Letter – When people leave you alone, and you are able to step away from others. Although you are not good at expressing your need for alone time, making it clear that you’re taking time for yourself feels good even when it seems like it might sever connections with others that are important to you. Interestingly, when you step forward and clearly express your needs in this way? They always understand.

Skeleton: What secrets are you hiding that need exposed?

Garden and Stars – Other people mean more to you than you let on.  You care a great deal more than you allow others to realize, both in their welfare as well as in their perspectives, opinions, feelings, and their impressions of you.

Spooked: What scares you?

Child and Crossroads – Losing your independence is terrifying to you. Having to depend on others and not being able to do your own thing and go your own way is a special kind of hell that you struggle with even on a small scale.

Windowsill Candle: Where do you need to lean into the light (positivity/optimism)?

Fox and Clouds – It is important to “lean into the light” during times when your confidence is low and uncertainty is clouding your ability to perceive yourself or your situation in a positive light.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – Sweet Perspectives

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt: “Draw (up to) five random cards from your deck, and decide what candy (different for each card) that you think fits each of the cards you pulled.”

Cute and Creepy TarotThe Devil – Big Hunk – So very good and hard to resist, but it’s sticky enough it can pull out your fillings if you’re not careful!

Knight of Pentacles – Tootsie Pops – You’ve got to be patient to get down to the good stuff. That owl in the commercial that asks how many licks to get to the center?  There’s a reason his patience ran out.

Eight of Swords – Good and Plenty – They might look like yummy candies, but if you’ve never had one before?  Make sure you -ask- what they taste like before you bite into one!  If you don’t like black licorice, you’re in for a nasty surprise if you don’t investigate first.

Temperance – Butterfinger – So good, but also so very rich.  So good, in fact, that it’s very easy to eat too many and end up with a sour stomach.

Seven of Cups – M&Ms – I like to eat my M&Ms by color!  That means I eat all of one color in the package, then choose the next color to eat, and then the next color to eat after that.  It doesn’t matter that they all taste the same… it feels right to eat them one color at a time.

Finding the Positive for October 1 – 3

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Owl House Tarot, Darkside Skeleton Tarot, Little Reaper Tarot, and Halloween Affirmations Deck

October 1

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

Nine of Swords – Positivity can outweigh the negative voices in your head if you work at it.  Progress doesn’t always happen in leaps and bounds, and expecting yourself to keep up a galloping pace all the time is setting yourself up for failure.  Give yourself a break instead, stop pushing so hard and using the adrenaline from anxiety to force yourself to push even harder.  Instead?  Slow down and look around.  Taking things at a stroll now and then is still progress and nothing to worry over.

October 2

Seven of Pentacles – The road might be hard at times, and you might feel like giving up, but those are the times you need to keep going. Slow down. Take your time. But keep going. Persistence counts for a lot in life, especially when things start getting difficult.

October 3

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

Three of Cups – There’s going to be lots and lots of together time and people today. Try your best to enjoy it and stay in the moment instead of worrying about tomorrow or what comes next. Group activities are not your happy place. Remember that you like these people and work on staying positive.

Tarotholics October Challenge – Oracle Reading

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2023 Challenge Spread 1

Tarotholics October Challenge Tarot Spread Reading with the Eerie Encounters Cryptid Oracle

Bat – Awareness/Endings – What is ending at this time that needs your awareness and focus?

Bigfoot – That resentment you’ve been feeling and struggling with is going to begin to loosen up. You are approaching a position where you will be able to let it go if you are aware of what’s going on and willing to lean into that direction.

Calendula – Love/Constancy – Who is a loving constant in your life that needs a bit more recognition?

The Skunk Ape – You need to consider what good things have come from this time with Ms B instead of what has been taken away from you during this experience. Yes, it was hard… but make sure you turn the memory of this experience into a good one for both of you.

Owl – Trust/Knowledge – What do you need to know right now to trust that you’re on the right path?

The Yucca Man – Remember that hardship is growth. Don’t let it make you feel like it’s holding you back, when in truth it is giving you the strength and experience to “level up” instead.

Rosemary – Protection/Memory – What memory from your past needs revisiting to guide you in your future safety?

The Squonk – That asshat that hurt you is coming up for parole soon. Don’t skip out on going to give a victim’s statement, no matter how anxious it makes you or how reluctant you feel about going. Your story needs to be heard.

Black Cat – Risks/Independent Thought – Where is conformity more of a risk than independent thought?

Knobby – Only you truly know where the risks and dangers in your life reside. Don’t let others convince you that you are being unreasonable or paranoid.

Wormwood – Crossing the Veil/Protection – While the veil is thin this month, what in your life needs protecting?

The Mogollon Monster – Make sure when you go home later this month that you take the time to reinforce your wards and protections. The Fae that help in protecting your home have dispersed for the most part because you haven’t been around. Draw them back in and reestablish your connection with them.

Raven – Rebirth/Curiosity – Where can sating your curiosity lead to the resurrection of something you’ve lost?

Ahool the Death Bat – Go hiking on familiar trails… but not at night. Night hikes are out for the time being, no matter how much you enjoy them.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Skele-Tarot and Monster Lenormand

Earth – Ten of Pentacles – Take stock of how your body is working for you this week and just how fortunate you are that you can do the things you do, both in general and with others.

Air – Nine of Swords – Just because you’re worried doesn’t mean anything bad is going to happen. Don’t let yourself stress over things that are just in your head and not a part of reality. Make sure you catch this tendency quickly instead of letting it drag on by ignoring that it’s happening.

Water – King of Swords – Own your thoughts and how they can influence your emotions. You can lead your emotions in the direction you want them to go this week by ensuring you steer the way with your thoughts.

Fire – King of Pentacles – Go back to your roots and dig deep. Your spiritual life needs to reconnect with that stable foundation that makes everything else fall in line.

Waning – Ship and Partner – Do not allow yourself to be dragged down by the lack of time with Gid this week. It’s temporary.

Waxing – Tower and Clover – To protect yourself in the week ahead, make sure you are looking out at the world and toward the future with optimism and positivity.
