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.

Falling Leaves Oracle Reading

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.

❤️ 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 Diary of a Skeleton Tarot and Fantasma Oracle

Earth – Ace of Cups – Give yourself a chance to connect positively with your body. Give it some love this week and allow it a chance to be renewed. By doing so, you’ll find yourself happier with it in the long run.

Air – Six of Wands atop Knight of Wands – Keep an eye on that tendency to jump at the first indication that others need or want something from you this week. Ms B should be doing things herself now other than in a few very rare cases, and you stepping in to help is not going to help in progressing her mobility.

Water – Two of Swords – Make decisions that support your mental health. You need to prioritize yourself and your emotional well-being this week. Don’t allow yourself to turn a blind eye to your own needs in order to please someone else.

Fire – Two of Cups – You have the support of others to help you return to normal. Lean on them to help you find your footing. Also, make sure you take someone with you when you go hiking.

Waning – The Peeper and The Sun – You can stop living vicariously through others. As you settle back in at home and seek to find your equilibrium this week, begin stepping into your own life again instead of taking joy through others’ experiences.

Waxing – The Wizard and The Call – You are capable of finding balance, and have all the tools you need at your disposal to make it happen. The world and energy always seeks balance, and it will only take a bit of direction on your part to get things to settle back where they need to be.

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2023 Challenge
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.

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2023 Challenge Spread 1

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.
