Killstar Tarot, Under the Bed Tarot, Our Lonely Bones Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 16

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.

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

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.

October 18

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

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.

Questions for October 17th and 19th

Halloween Lenoracle Mini Deck

Buried Alive: What in the past needs dug up and dealt with?

Scythe, Treasure, Moon – He hurt you. It’s good that he’s in jail. Face your emotional turmoil and fears to make sure he stays there. The time to go in and speak to the panel is coming, including the humiliating experience of sharing all that happened… in a great deal of detail with a great deal of emotion. You can’t skip it, because if you do and he’s let out, you’ll have to deal with that anxiety a lot longer than just for a few days.

Gravestone: What is a part of yourself that needs to be revisited?

Zoom, Trick or Treat, Bear – Bring forth your protective instincts for those you care about during this Halloween season. You have had a lot of warnings about not going places along, being careful of strangers, and not hiking at night over the last couple of weeks.  You aren’t the only one at risk, though, so make sure you are watching out for others as well.

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.

❤️ 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 Any Means Necessary Tarot and Halloween Lenoracle Mini Deck

Earth – Ten of Cups – Do what makes you happy. Right now is a time to enjoy, not “buckle down”. Take this time to savor life and do the things you enjoy most. That means getting out and hiking and doing things. Don’t just wallow in being at home.

Air – The Star – Lean into positive thinking and hope. You’ve managed to catch that slide into depression’s pit and scramble back to the ledge. Don’t give up, there’s still a bit further to go to get out of the danger zone.

Water – Six of Swords – Leave behind what is no longer serving you. Drama, guilt, and negativity are now in your rear view. Stay ahead of them and don’t invite them back in.

Fire – Two of Wands – Taking action for your business is not meant to be a part of things this week. You can plot and plan for where you want to go, but hold off on diving into work and the business any more than necessary.

Waning – Witch and Scythe – Stick close to the “harm none” adage in your magical practices this week. Save the other stuff for later.

Waxing – Letter and Trick or Treat – Stay aware and careful not to be tricked by scams and hoaxes in the week ahead; especially those that arrive via email or snail mail.

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2023 Challenge Spread 3

Tarotholics October Challenge Reading with The Charming Disaster Oracle Deck

Smoky Quartz – Ground/Detoxify – How can you best clear negativity from your life and in turn gain greater stability?

Baba Yaga – When the others visited recently, there was a lot of speculation on why you were there and what you “get out of” being there. Don’t worry about it. You be you, and don’t worry so much about the impression you make on others. If they misconstrue your intent? That’s on them.

Apple – Insight/Good Health – What insight is needed to improve your physical health at this time?

The Lighthouse – There is a reason you have been warned multiple times recently to not go out alone. There is danger afoot. Heed those warnings, for if you ignore them the results could be catastrophic.

Chrysanthemum – Spiritual Defense and Protection – Where do your defenses and boundaries need some bolstering?

The Wolf – Be wary of strangers. More wary than normal.

Aquamarine – Calm/Courage – In what ways can meditation promote more calm and confidence in your life?

Manta Rays – Meditation allows you to glide through life more smoothly, even in times of surprise or upheaval. This then gives you the ability to appreciate life and the world around you more fully.

Mint – Love/Cleansing – What factor in your relationships needs some reevaluation and perhaps adjustment?

The Pigment – Don’t ignore issues and let them ride out. They will not clear up, but rather fester into a fatal toxicity in your relationships if you don’t deal with them.

Carnelian – Creativity/Vitality – In what ways can including more creativity in your life brighten your daily outlook?

Immortality atop The Scapegoat – Creativity on a daily basis creates for you a release of negativity, allowing you to connect with a more timeless energy not so apt to drag you down.

Pomegranate – Fertility/Wishes – What wish of yours is ready to be manifested into reality at this time?

The Experiment – You have an opportunity, however briefly, to play both in work and more personal pursuits. Don’t pass it over for the mantle of responsibility.

🌑 New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Libra – October 2023

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Tomorrow is the new moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is brought to you by the Hermit’s Mirror.

New Moon in Libra and Solar Eclipse Oracle Reading with the Fantasma Oracle

Clearing: Which of my expectations are so high that they’re alienating?

The Call – When you reach out to others, you expect immediate answers from them. You need to remember that they are not at your beck and call, any more than you are at theirs.

Transitional pause: Where can my critical eye adjust to help me see the beauty in everything?

The Cat – Be more flexible. Take more time to observe rather than react.  Allow yourself to have a moment to bend outside the box of your norm.

New seeds: What relationship is ready for a new infusion of harmony and love?

The Scuffle – Examine those you have recently had disagreements with, and consider where things might have been blown out of proportion by emotions.

Light in darkness: How does indecision help me identify what truly matters?

Moon Priestess – Indecision has the potential to shut your brain down, and instead allow your intuition room to step in and speak. You have only to allow this to happen and listen when it does.

Planetary boon: When can charm deliver what’s best for my loved ones and me?

The Creeper atop The Scarecrow – That creepily inappropriate physio doc of Ms B’s. The situation requires a straight spine and firm hand, but with a good dose of sugar, not vinegar.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ten of Pentacles – Participate in and enjoy the good things in life. You are far richer than you allow yourself to feel or see.

Seven of Swords Rx atop Knight of Pentacles – Don’t let your negative inclinations steal away all the hard won progress you have made.

Space: What parts of my life should I be prepared to re-assess and shift during this eclipse cycle?

The Title and The Wands – Semantics are important, but don’t let them cloud the truth. Sometimes the same thing can be said in a variety of different ways, and spending your focus picking apart the little things can keep you from seeing that everyone is actually on the same page.

Lunar Gift: What is emerging from within me that will challenge my sense of who I am?

The Devil – Self destructive urges and personal addictions are on the rise. Take care not to let them take over.

Growth: How will this help me grow over the next six months?

The Adventurer – It can help to free you from the restraints that those urges and addictions force upon you. Restraints that keep you closed indoors or too preoccupied to explore your creative spark.

Understanding: Why is now the right time for this particular emergence?

The Wizard – You have the tools, the wherewithal, and the strength to get through it at this time.

Care: How can I best support myself when things get uncomfortable?

The Hanged Man – Take a pause and consider the situation from different perspectives.  Look at what’s going on and consider how you are reacting to it… and why.  Try to see the situation in a different light that allows you to feel more confident and ease your discomfort.
