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.

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

Six of Wands – Don’t let your need to please others, whether they be friends and family or customers and clients, push you into doing too much today.  You have a headache and are already feeling super stressed, so just do what you can and let the rest go for another time.

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.

October 4

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.

October 6

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.

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.
