Tarot of the New Vision - Page of SwordsThe @GlitterbyInk #NovemberWhispers25 Liminal Dreamland Challenge
Deam-Weaver Prompt for November 1 : Slumber
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Page of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive omega energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s thoughts, intellect, logic, ambitions, and communication. This often translates into themes that have to do with learning new ways to communicate with others, beginning new educational pursuits, exploring new ideas. and seeking to sate one’s curiosity.

It’s okay to not have a goal in mind.

Sometimes just doing something because you enjoy it is more than enough of a reason to do it. Not everything has to be focused on your goals and aspirations to have value.

In the end, even those things that you do just because you enjoy them and for no other reason, teach you something when you look back on them later on. Not that even that is really necessary, as long as you are getting enjoyment out of it in the first place.

Today’s message is a reminder that enjoyment and joy are reasons enough to do something. Don’t worry so much about what you’re going to get out of it in the end, and instead lean into the experience of the moment.

#DiscordTarotholicsNov2025 Challenge
Prompt for November 1 : Do the All Saints Day Spread

Tarot Reading with the Nouveau Goddess Oracle

A message that your Ancestors would like to give you at this time.

Death and Nurturing Presence – We are here to help support you through changes. You need merely to acknowledge our presence in your life, and welcome the nurturing we’re offering you.

A message your ancestors have been trying to convey that you have not been receptive to in the past.

The High Priestess and Vision – Lean deeper into your intuition, and those things you know without being able to explain how you know them. They will guide you on your journey with far more accuracy and attunement than following your own idea of what you “should” be doing. That inner knowing has a vision for your future that is far beyond anything you could imagine for yourself.

How to be more open to messages from your Ancestors in the future.

Strength and Divine Compassion – Work on not being so suspicious all the time of the motives behind their guidance. They are here to support you and if you want to be more open to their guidance and messages, you need to let go of the worry that you’re being manipulated to their own selfish means and motivations.

How to honor and connect more strongly with your Ancestors going forward.

The Moon and Ascension – Trust them to guide you through moments of uncertainty, and allow for the possibility that they really do only have your well-being at heart.

Earth and Water “The Aces” Prompts for November 1st thru 3rd

Tarot Reading with the Tarot of the New VisionAce of Pentacles

What opportunity is available but needs to be nurtured?

Four of Wands – You’ve had a hard time connecting with hearth and home lately.  This disconnect can easily be healed by spending more time nurturing yourself in these areas and acknowledging this place you make safe is really your safe space.

What will help me stay grounded and practical?

Eight of Pentacles – Keep in mind that the work you do best is often not done when you’re alone. Even if you and the other person are working on separate things, the company helps lift your spirits and thus your results turn out better.

Ace of Cups

How can I bring more emotional or spiritual nourishment to my life?

Seven of Swords – Stop worrying so much about what you’re losing or leaving behind. Face forward and allow your natural inclination towards the future and the present to take the place of all that worry about what’s behind you.

Gideon’s Challenge – Witching Hour

Jack o' LanternWitching Hour

The porch light
goes out
and the candles
are doused
and as
children’s laughter
is replaced
by nighttime silence
the decorations
come down
and it feels like
goodbye
with an ache
of sadness
that another year
must pass
before it all begins
again

Month End Tarot Reading with the Tarot of Haunted House

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

Two of Swords – There are lots of choices to be made right now; many of them concerning things that you don’t really want to deal with or acknowledge.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

Knight of Cups – Impulsiveness spurred on by emotion. This is something you need to work on. Your emotions often dictate your actions these days, now that you have allowed them to have freedom outside the graveyard you used to bury them in. It’s time to focus on putting them in their place without denying them their freedom.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

Seven of Wands Rx – You are tired of fighting the good fight and are looking for respite. You don’t want to have to fight so hard all the time, but are struggling to figure out how to let go without sacrificing your values in the process.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Judgement – It’s time to examine if you are worrying too much about what others think, or have lost sight of your own path due to the influence of other others.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

Justice Rx – Remember the law of cause and effect. You can realign yourself with your values and path, but be prepared for it to displease others when you do. They’ll get used to it if you stand your ground, but it’s not going to be a pleasant experience in the interim.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

The Empress Rx – Lack of self-care is a serious issue with you. Remember that if you continue along that path, the consequences can be quite heavy (reflecting back to the previously pulled Justice card). You need to work on being more conscious about when you are using self-neglect as a punishment so that you can begin shifting this tendency in another direction.

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

Strength – Your greatest strengths are those that you acknowledge within yourself. When you’re feeling powerless, look in the mirror and seek out the strength that lies within.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

Knight of Swords – Take care not to act rashly at this time, even if you feel you are prepared. Keep your mouth shut and do nothing. Just watch.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

Seven of Swords Rx – You have the opportunity to avoid the repercussions of your actions by not doing the thing that could create those repercussions in the first place. Take the path of the straight and narrow, and you’ll be just fine.

Message from the Spirit World – Opening your mouth too soon will give away your secrets and result in you getting caught up in negative consequences as a result. Don’t be so eager to share.

Message from the Mind’s World – Make sure when you go on the defensive that you’re doing so over something that matters, and not just being impulsive. Take time to take off the blindfold and really look at your motivations before step forward into the fray.

Message from the Physical World – At this time helping others leaves you at a deficit. You need to be focusing on taking care of yourself and your own needs instead.

Take Away – Lots of warnings about keeping your mouth shut and not jumping the gun. There’s a message here about needing to prioritize self-care, and not worrying so much about others right now. Make sure you’re making choices that lean into this theme.
