Samhain Lenormand Reading with the House of Shadows Lenoracle Samhain Edition

What’s my personal connection to Samhain?

Clover and Moon – You love the decorations and the fun that can be had as long as you can keep your head above water emotionally. When you let things start to get too serious, though, you fall off the edge into the pit.

What am I being called to release during this time?

Person and Book – Let go of the need to lean into logic. Prioritize listening to others over of self expression.

What “dead things” (old patterns, situations, attachments) must I finally bury?

Brooms and Woman – You need to work on putting to bed that tendency within you to try and make things neat and tidy by sweeping them under the rug and ignoring them.

How can I increase my receptivity while the veil is thinnest?

Cross and House – Get out of your house and allow nature to ease some of the burden too much time inside has put upon you.

How can I honor my spiritual path today? Guidance from my ancestors.

Rider and Garden – Go now, and take someone with you.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

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 Todd Alcott's Horror Tarot and House of Shadows Lenormand Samhain Edition

EarthEight of Wands – It’s time to start adding more physical activity back into your life. Even if it wears you out. Do it anyway. Building back your stamina is an important part or your recovery.

AirThe High Priestess – Instead of relying so heavily on logic, allow your intuition to hold sway this week. Not everything has to be reasoned out and strategized.

WaterKing of Cups – Get as much time in with Gideon as you can manage right now. You both need it for your emotional well-being.

FireThe Hanged Man Enjoy the lull while you have it. A couple weeks from now, and you’ll be struggling to catching your breath, let alone able to enjoy any free time.

WaningShip and Dog – Doing things for (and going out of your way for) others needs to be avoided this week. Just say no.

WaxingCandy Apple and Snake – Your tastebuds are coming back! Enjoy! But,watch out you don’t overindulge too much or your stomach will turn against you.
