Diablo Tarot, Romantically Yours Tarot, The Hand Drawn Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 19

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

The Hermit – Abundance isn’t always about money.  Sometimes? It’s about giving yourself what you need most and having the ability to do just that.  What you need most right now is some alone time. Burrow under the covers and let the Covid run its course, there’s no where you need to go today and no one you need to see, and your greatest show of prosperity is that you can, in fact, take this time for yourself.

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

Four of Swords – The Four of Swords card is all about rest and recovery. Down time, and recuperation. Everything pulled here from the affirmation card to the meditative blurb from my meditation timer is all about rest. They say… you might be starting to feel a bit better, but you need to rest today. Rest and let yourself recover a bit more. What you want to do today can be put off til tomorrow or the next, and now is the time to procrastinate.

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

Eight of Swords – Don’t ignore the warning signs of depression or its symptoms. Doing so will only end up biting you on the ass. Willful ignorance won’t save you, it’ll just let you play at being oblivious for a little while before things smack you in the face. Instead of trying to pretend everything’s fine, acknowledge what you’re feeling, and the signs and symptoms that arise, so that you can begin to counter act them in an effort to mitigate the worst of it… which will definitely come if you do nothing.

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

Page of Swords – Getting to our goals isn’t always easy.  It isn’t meant to be easy.  And sometimes we have to step back to the basics and look at things with fresh eyes instead of always plowing ever forward.

Knight of Wands – If you want to make money?  Action is important.  That means that even though you’ve been considering avoiding putting up your Halloween sale in your shops?  Do it anyway.  Just do it.  Move your ass and get it done.

The Tower – Your shit has hit the fan… it’s time to rest. You are allowed to rest.  You did what you needed to do, and everything is set up in a way that will allow you to rest.  Let yourself have the rest you need to get well and recover. Covid-19 is no joke and you need to give your body the rest it needs.

Morte Tarot, Any Means Necessary Tarot, Night Sun Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Deck

October 13

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

Two of Pentacles – Balance is needed in life in all things.  This includes in how you look at the world, and how you process events.  As your mind is  naturally inclined toward pessimism and negativity, it’s important to make sure that you balance those perspectives with a conscious effort toward positivity and optimism.  Doing so helps the world seem a little brighter, struggles a little lighter, and your worries and fears to appear not quite so scary.

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

The Empress – You can make struggles in life a little easier and recover from them a bit faster if you give yourself the nurturing and care that you need.  Don’t ignore your needs just because you can “power through” without dealing with them. Deal with them instead, and in doing so you won’t need to “power through”, but will be able to glide through more easily instead.

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

Hanged Man – It is difficult to see past one’s defenses when you are feeling vulnerable and bring them up. This makes it hard to see the strength that comes with vulnerability and accepting one’s vulnerability instead of fighting against it. Today’s cards are a reminder that there are all different kinds of strength. Instead of fighting to stay hard and tough all the time, seek out the strength that comes with being soft as well. You don’t have to be hard or cold to be strong. Warmth is just as  strong, just in a completely different way.

Diary of a Skeleton Tarot, Tarot of Twisted Shadows, Voodoo Dolly Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 10

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

Ace of Swords – “I am a beacon of light amongst shadows,” so make sure that you don’t allow those shadows in your thoughts and inner narratives to take over.  Stay clear headed by shining a light into those shadows with counteracting thoughts of positivity and optimism, instead of surrendering to the darker shadows that are so eager to take over at every turn.  It feels corny sometimes, but it works if you put effort into it.

The Restless – Not an actual tarot card, this is one of the bonus cards that comes in this deck. Combined with “ghosting what no longer serves me”, these cards are a reminder to not allow yourself to slide into self destructive tendencies just because you’re bored and restless. Focus on putting that energy toward something good and healthy instead.

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

The Empress – When you take care of yourself and your needs, everything works better. Even intuition and psychic development require self care.  In the same way that plants need water and sunlight to grow, if you’re not willing to take care of yourself and meet your needs physically and otherwise, then your body, mind, and spirit are too preoccupied with those needs that aren’t being met to allow your intuition and abilities to expand toward their full potential.

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.

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 Cups – Choose to not listen to the negative narrative in your head. Choose to not be pessimistic. Choose to not be negative. Choose to not listen to that negative voice in your head that says “no you can’t”.

“I’m the cauldron of my own happiness, brewing up visions of success.” For you, positivity and optimism is a conscious choice, and your success relies on making the choice to lean into that positivity.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and took place while soaking in the bathtub. The meditation was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Shadow Self (aka. The Devil) – Self destruction is a temptation of yours that comes with a great number of bad habits and unhealthy urges and nasty negative inner narratives. Sometimes, you don’t even realize that you’re indulging in them until something turns around and shines a spotlight on them.

One of those self destructive habits is to put yourself down, often without even realizing you’re doing it. It’s not difficult, with the scars and damage you wear, and yet when something comes along like the affirmation “I am Boo-tiful” it brings home a reminder that you have let this quiet voice in your head get out of control.

Make sure you don’t ignore what’s going on. Now that it’s been brought into the spotlight? Take time to counteract these destructive moments with positive ones. Feed that pain filled inner soul something good with a bit of self appreciation today.

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

Wheel of Fortune – Set aside fear and pride, and focus on being kind… even to those that you feel might not deserve it. When you seek to approach others and life as a whole with kindness, you live consciously, aware of how you affect others and the world around you as a whole. Everything in life is easier when you offer kindness to yourself and to others. The good times are even better, the bad times are a little less heavy.
