Falling Leaves Oracle Reading with the Folklore Oracle

What cycle is reaching its end and is coming to completion?

Boo Boo Shaw – You are not going to have to continue to “fake it til you make it” with a brave face as you have through the summer months. It’s okay to start to relax and not worry so much what new nightmare is lurking around every corner.

What is falling away to make room for later growth?

Blackthorn atop Badger – You have spent the year learning how to connect with others in new ways and deeper levels, how to find value in those connections, and have practiced a level of patience you’ve never before shown. With going home this week, you can begin moving back into your own space while seeing the world and those in it in a new light.

How can more easily cope with the changes that need to occur?

Bear – Stand strong and protect what’s yours. Show your love to those that matter through your courage and strength. You are the “mama bear” and when you embody that energy during difficult changes, it helps immensely in getting your through them.

How can I open myself to the beauty of endings?

Luna atop Fir – It’s important to remember that during times of change and transition, there will always be things that stand firm and remain a constant.  A beacon of hope in the storm, so to speak. Don’t get so caught up in the whirlwind and chaos of change that you forget to spot those beacons and use them to anchor and ground you.

Philosophical Questions for October 2023

October Philosophical Questions Oracle Reading with the Abandoned Oracle X-Ray Edition

Oct 4th – Is there an afterlife?

The Mutant and The Clock – In death, we transform into our purest form. That said, everyone’s clock ticks at a different speed on the other side, and while some end up moving on immediately, others may linger for a short amount of time or longer.  In either case, there is something that happens with each of us after death and therefore, yes, there’s an afterlife.

Oct 11th – Do ghosts exist?

The Cat and The Bird – Some are ready to move on at the first opportunity and when it is given to them they move with speed to grab hold and go with it.  Others choose not to go with the flow and decide to stick around to pursue their own interests.  So yes, these latter individuals become ghosts.

Oct 18th – What awaits us after we pass to the other side of the veil?

The Thief and Voices – When we first pass over to the other side of the veil, there is a time of adjustment where we feel that we have had our lives stolen from us and everything feels overwhelming and confusing.

Oct 25th – Can everyone on the other side make contact when the veil is thin?

The Hand and Revenge – If they are strong enough and motivated enough, they can reach through the veil when the veil is at its thinnest. That motivation can often come from a desire to strike out at the living, seek revenge of some sort, or to accomplish something unfinished they feel is their right or responsibility to complete.

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.

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.

The Inner God – Which part of yourself would you like to recognize and strengthen more?

Death and Angel’s Trumpet – The go-with-the-flow energy in the face of change. Once upon a time you rode out change with ease and lackadaisical grace… these days that doesn’t seem to be the case. You wish to find that “easy” within you again and foster it to growth.

The New Beginning – What new opportunities await you after completing this challenge?

Knight of Cups atop Page of Coins, Calla Lily – An opportunity to begin establishing a return to balance between the spiritual and physical is on the horizon. Charge forward and embrace this eagerly as the opportunity arises. It’s a familiar path.

The Blessing of Dionysus – What blessing and message does Dionysus send you at the end of this challenge?

The Fool and Belladonna – Embrace enthusiasm and adventure.  Enjoy the beauty of hope and embrace having a bit of fun… but don’t lean too far into it, or it will turn against you.

Questions for September 25th thru 27th – Death is Life

Latimer's Lenormand

Transformation – What aspects of yourself or your life have been transformed since starting this challenge?

Garden and Lily – You have become more aware of the value in family and a strong support system of loved ones, and far more tolerant of them gathering around you and offering you their support.

Self-expression – How can you express yourself without limitations?

Stork and Birds – Don’t just immediately assume you’re going to screw up communication with others. To express yourself more freely, you need to work at seeing communication as a boon rather than a hurdle or challenge.

The Teachings – What have you learned from the Dionysian mysteries?

Dog and Fox – During this challenge it’s been brought to your attention that you are your own worst enemy, and need to work more on being a loyal friend to yourself instead of allowing self destructive tendencies to sneak in.

How can you apply these teachings in your daily life?

Sun and Woman – Work on allowing your vulnerable side to shine more brightly and foster it by making more of an effort to lean into positivity and optimism.
