Peanuts Tarot's The Hermit and Halloween Affirmation CardsToday’s draw is The Hermit card combined with the affirmation “The voice that tells you that you aren’t good enough apparently doesn’t know you at all. You’re amazing.”

That negative inner narrative in your  head? It’s a fucking liar.  It just is.

The problem with being an introvert then? Is that we spend so much time with ourselves listening to that voice that sometimes, it becomes easy to forget that it’s a liar.

The message in today’s cards is a reminder to not listen to that liar, no matter how much time you spend with it or how well you think you know it… it’s still a liar. If you’re going to listen?  Listen with the knowledge that it’s a liar and take action to counterbalance it’s influence on you.

@HealingThruTarot’s #httOctoberTarotChallenge2024 Prompt
Prompt for October 27th : Ghosts from my past still haunting me.

Felix Nacht's Gallery of Hallucinations OracleEphemera – Impermanence. You hold within you a fear that you have squandered your time instead of enjoying it more.  As time flies by month by month, you wonder if you couldn’t be enjoying your life more, and if you aren’t missing out on opportunities to do so with each day that passes.

Onslaught – You fear your depression, and the hopelessness it brings with it.  That deep, dark pit of depression swallows everything. Every shred of pleasure, every motivation and bit of stability, and even time itself.  You fear the Major Depressive Episodes… and understandably so.

The Conundrum – You have a fear of incompetence, helplessness, and loss of control. You are fiercely independent, which combines with issues from your past that create a “I am never enough” mentality. In that collaboration is born a fear of losing control through incompetence, and having no ability to stop or slow the decline.

Question for October 27th : Ancestors watching, witch and wise, what lesson lives behind my eyes?

Halloween Postcards Oracle and the Peanuts Tarot - Queen of Cups, The Devil, Ace of WandsReading Summary: The connection between hands and bat in the Ace of Wands is reflective of the connection of arms and hands in the anchor card. Same with the curve of the smoke in the Ace of Wands reflecting in the back-bowing curve of the women in the anchor card on the left side. These correlations speak of a need to lean into your passions and new interests with others involved in the process in order to find balance in untenable situations.

The Queen of Cups is reversed and solitary, which causes her finger to point down to the ground in the anchor card, speaking of a need to keep your mouth shut and not speak of your emotions, and in doing so create better grounding in your life.

In The Devil card there is also a connection to the stretched arms and clasped hands that are in the anchor card through the chains that connect Charlie and Peppermint Patty in the shadows. The darkness of this card also reflects into the darkness present in the anchor card. This is a reminder that although connection to others is necessary, too much of a connection can become codependent and thus a problem.

Take Away:  The lesson that lives behind your eyes and that you struggle with each and every day is that you cannot trust everyone to connect with you in healthy ways, and thus you have a habit of keeping people at an arms length out of a worry that not doing so will cause instability in your life.  You need people, but you fear them at the same time.

Daily Self Kindness

This post is a catch-up post, and I’m not entirely sure what my self kindness was for the day.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 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 Silver Acorn Tarot and Halloween Carnival Lenormand

Earth – Three of Pentacles – Help is good. You need help with getting your work done and all the last minute preparations taken care of for the upcoming holiday rush. Don’t avoid asking for that help. Just do it. Those that you ask are happy to lend their skills and abilities to your goals if you give them the chance to do so.

Air – Queen of Wands – Use your creative spark to inspire others. If you present something as a chore, it will be seen as a chore to them. If you present it as fun, it will become something fun and enjoyable for them to help you with.

Water – Knight of Cups – Pounce forward into those things that make you happy this week. You need a bit of joy and now is a good time to work on instilling a bit extra into your life. Try allowing your emotions to have the reigns for a bit and follow the whims of what you want and what you like instead of restraining yourself so much.

Fire – Six of Cups – This is yet another reminder to look back at the past for inspiration on moving forward and lifting you out of the ashes of the present situation.  This message has come through a few times of late, and is a reminder that you have skills developed in the past that can be carried forward to help you in what’s going on in the present.

Waning – Key and Fish – You need to step away from your current perspective concerning how you define success. Stop looking for the same markers of success that you’ve always looked for, and instead seek to redefine success into something that is more -you- and less what everyone else has expected from you.

Waxing – Dog, Ring, Snake – Be careful who you trust this week. Not everyone is as loyal and dependable as they appear.

Take Away – As with a number of the readings done over the past week, these cards are a reminder to ask for help, as well as not panic in the face of your jewelry business being slower than normal this year.  Pivot and adapt, and take others with you as you do.  Redefine success, and set your priorities to those new values.

Watch closely for the wolf posing in sheep’s clothing. They are closer than you realize.
