@GlitterbyInk #OctoberCauldron24 Prompt
Cauldron of Wisdom Prompt for October 16th : Embrace

Today’s draw is the Strength card combined with the affirmation “You’re doing fine; don’t give up.”

The Strength card is not always about brute strength, but is most often about finesse.  It reminds us that sometimes you have to embrace a more subtle approach in order to get those that might be resistant to you on board with your goals. The first step is taming the beast… and from there, the rest is cake.

Working with others can be a frustrating thing, and working to get others to follow your lead can be not just frustrating but aggravating… but the rewards are well worth it.  Don’t give up.

@Lionharts #TheOctoberTarot Season of the Witch Prompt
Question for October 16th :On wild and wicked paths I stray, what hidden truth can guide my way?

Raven – The Raven reminds us that things slip out of the shadows to be dealt with, not to be buried or ignored. Lean into your intuition in these matters, and use your skills with the cards to help guide your way.

Crow atop Hedgehog – Here again we see another prophecy card in the Crow, reinforcing the message of the Raven above, while the presence of the hedgehog reminds us that it is important to have boundaries in place not just for others but also for yourself. Be smart with what you allow and how you execute your ethics.

Leopard atop Heron – Make sure that you keep in mind that those that do not have your best interests at heart are unpredictable and cunning. They will use whatever mask they can to get to the goal they are aiming for with you. Instead of feeling vulnerable, reach out to others you trust to find balance, and make sure you are doing your grounding exercises to ensure you have a stable foundation under your feet.

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2024 Challenge Prompt
Question for October 16th : What do you need to focus on for self-care for this full moon?

Reading Summary: It’s time to work on moving away (Six of Swords) from the assumption that success lies in what’s yet to come (The Sun Rx), and look instead at all you have accomplished and appreciate those things (Nine of Pentacles). Don’t fight against it (Death).

Take Away: This is a recurring theme over the past few days. These cards indicate that things are going to be slow for a while yet with your business, and instead of beating yourself up about it and trying to change things, you should spend this time appreciating all that you’ve done so far. Embrace the change instead of fighting against it.  Remember, everything is temporary, even slumps and slow times.

@HealingThruTarot’s #httOctoberTarotChallenge2024 Prompt
Prompt for October 16th and 17th

How to ward myself from energy vampires.

Matron Witch and Bat – Use your spiritual practice and long developed skills in that area to help protect yourself. Spellwork and wards are encouraged.

This includes using divination to sense the world around you more clearly than you can with just your mundane senses and abilities.

What is withering away this full moon?

Mad Scientist – This full moon brings with it a withering away of creative inspiration. Don’t look for motivation from your creative spark right now, and make sure you aren’t giving in to feelings of guilt or restless about it. Everyone needs a break now and then.

I ate out for dinner today instead of cooking.  It delayed me getting home by a bit, but was worth it because I didn’t have to cook.
