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.

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.

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.

Questions for October 12th thru 14th

Tarotholics October Challenge Reading with the Creatures Oracle

Trick: What is fooling you that needs to be seen more clearly?

Alone atop Beginnings – You are not going to be getting as much alone time as you think you will once you head home. Make sure to look at this as a good thing, for it absolutely -is- a good thing.

Treat – What special gift or skill do you have that you take for granted?

Wonder and Listen – You have the ability to stand still and silent in nature and hear its rhythms, feel its energies, and allow yourself to be carried away to blend with them so that they can soothe and calm you. You haven’t been getting out in nature much this year, and you are suffering as a result.

What do you need to focus on for self-care for the upcoming new moon?

Escape – You need to start getting out in nature more now that you are back home and working at getting back into a normal stride. Just remember, as this reading has already mentioned and a previous reading also has made clear, it’s important that you take someone with you.

Questions for October 7th, 9th, and 10th

Oracle Reading with the Necrohamster Game Cards

Creaky Hinge: What doors need opened to allow opportunity to enter?

Skeleton Ram atop Zombie Cat – You can be stubborn without being hard. There’s no need to butt heads and struggle or put up your armor to fight.  Instead? Just do your own thing and let them deal with the aftermath.

Bewitched: What lies beneath the mask that you show the world?

Master of Zombies and Zombie Deer – You show the world you are the king of your domain and control everything around you, but beneath the mask you are more vulnerable let on and not always so ready to do battle as you appear.

Haunted: What is haunting you right now?

Devil Turtle, Devil Jackdaw atop Devil Dragon – So many eyes. So many spirits. So many crowding in for your attention right now while the veil is thin and the dead can more easily reach throgh. Just keep in mind that they are not all out for your best interests and protect yourself accordingly.
